I do not mean to disrespect anyone on here, but if Russell put up a few scores and wins I will promise that I will be first to say I was wrong.

 

 

I did not think your post was disrespectful. I though it was bold - I was admiring your courage to post what you thought. :thumb:

 

The Russell guys got after me last week for doing it in the Ironton thread - but, I'm from Ashalnd (which makes anything I say offensive).

... If they are to move the ball any at all this week, the players are going to have to execute to perfection and the coaches are going to have to call a genius game. Good luck to the Devils!

 

 

Ryan, fortunately you have McGlone and his very experienced staff. I'd never count them out.

...I wonder if Russell has ever been shut-out at home...

 

Not in the last decade. In 2001, Russell was blanked by Wheelersburg but that game was played in Ohio. On the other hand, Russell has shut out 9 opponents during that same stretch of time...typically its an East Carter or Lewis Co game.

Hey gang, can you make it 4 of us. I may not be as active as I used to be, since my 'dog' is no longer part of the fight, but I still enjoy going to all the home games and watching each team. My son and I have been comparing notes about this game. He has seen Ashland this year, but hasn't gotten to his old stomping grounds to watch Russell yet. I have seen Russell but not Ashland. So after comparing, I believe that even though the game is at the HANK, I think Ashland has too many weapons this year to for Russell to try and stop. I do think it will be a good game until thru the 3rd quarter, but I think Ashland will make a play sometime during the 4th to eek out a victory. The ones that know me on BGP, know that I have never tried to post a score, so I won't start now, but I do not believe it will be a blowout. And I would not be shocked if Russell came away with a victory, because I believe unlike last years well documented morale problems, this team does show more heart and fight in them.

 

Hope to post some more as the season wears on.

 

Glad to see you back around R.D. :thumb: (Ryan needs the help , (j/k ryan, you are a class act ) and you make some very good points with your post.

Now there is the truth if it was ever spoken.

I do need the help. It gets lonely on here. :cry:

I am going with Russell 21 - 20, if the Devil defense plays strong and can limit the amount of times that Ashland turns 3rd downs into !st downs they will win it.

 

Belfry outplayed them in the 2nd half scoring 20 - 8 by eliminating 1st half mistakes and Belfry is very young and and not as strong as they were in past years. Can't wait to go to Ashland next year.

I do need the help. It gets lonely on here. :cry:

 

Lonely, you ought to live down by the river.

Good luck to both teams tonight. Here is to a well played, injury free game!!!! I sure would be at this one if we weren't playing.:thumb:

First I want to congratulate one of Ashland's biggest fans on the birth of his first child. This person is a legend here on BGP, and it looks like his son is going to follow in his daddy's footsteps. I am of course, a baby whisperer, and he wanted me to give his prediction for tonight's game.

 

 

Ashland 41

LRCW - thanks for the photo. I know who this is, and I think you're pushing the "legend" stuff.

 

Congratulations to the family. I'm glad to see what may be the newest Tomcat make his début on BGP. :thumb:

CP, we have been nothing but nice and you have to try to make this about another team? You guys need to worry about tonight, not 2 weeks ago.....
