Cant imagine Chesapeake having one third of the talent that Ironton has.

CHESAPEAKE, MY SCHEDULE SAYS THE ASHLAND TOMCATS. AND THAT IS THE ONLY TEAM IRONTON IS FOCUSED ON RIGHT NOW

At some point Ironton fans might nned to come to the realization that they might not have the talent they think they have.

Ironton has VERY talented players but I feel that kids that transfer don't have that mentality to stick it out when the going gets rough! they run at the first opportunity and can't keep calm in situations when you need to buckle down and give your all! Look at one of your kids who is constantly losing his cool and costing you 15 yards multiple times in every game! Can this be the coaches fault? maybe or are then wired this way already and it is not going to change? I'd rather coach a team of hardworking average players who don't get down than a team full of studs who psychologically cant keep their cool when it is needed most!

I am not sure what Ironton is doing anymore. But one thing is for sure coaching has become and issue at Ironton.

Ashland wins this one it might even get ugly. I read on here about all this talent that the Tigers have. Just because you have talent it don't mean your going to be a good football team. Sorry Tiger fans it is what it is. I had some high expectations for West this year but I will admit we are not a very good football team right now. It hurts me to say that but it is true. Good luck Tigers.

You've got to be kidding right? What a load of CRAP....Ironton has benefitted far more from transfers over the last 40 years then they have been hampered by them...

the talent and the coaching is in question. I still think we can get this ship righted. maybe not meet the expectations we had coming in. but still have a successful year. if it don't happen Friday. the chances of a playoff are purty much out the window. all they can concentrate on is one at a time.

and that's the way it should be every week.

I feel the same way west. but in the end I'm still a fan. I really think this week is vital and if lost may slam a door on any possible scenario for a playoff. we need to win this and come into league play healthy and hungry.

[YOU'RE TIGER BAIT]

ironton has had 3 very tough games to date. wheelersburg-russell, ky.--and top ranked beechwood, ky.

we have had our fur pulled out. and I think the fighting tigers go into Putnam stadium and upset the tomcats.

GOOD LUCK TO THE IRONTON FIGHTING TIGERS---------BEAT THEM TOMCATS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's always tough to beat Ashland at Ashland. Baker is a beast, but Ironton held him and Long to under 100 yards rushing combined last year. Everyone seems to be healed up and ready to play this game. The question is mentally are they ready to come in and play. The sideline and the fans seems dead to me. There's no excitement there, even the coaches seem like stumps on a log. Someone is going to have to get in these boys heads and fire them up. I think they have a good shot at beating Ashland, but they have to finish the game as well as come out fired up and ready to play.
