Is it too soon to start talking football? I believe scrimmages start next week. Thanks

Not too early to talk football, I am interested to see how the new school COF Academy does this year.

My money is on 0-12 and outscored by an average of 25-30 p/g. That's assuming they even field a team. I am shocked that all those big schools would have scheduled a team like this without knowing more about them. The game essentially never happened with regard to playoff points. They'd have been better off playing an 0-10 D7 school. Just have a feeling this isn't going to end well for any of the teams involved.

Is anyone going to do prediction contests? I won't bother if only 10 people want to do it.

i am in for a prediction contest. Plus Teddy, less people, less work for you. Also, It would only be the experts showing up.

BTW, how is Defiance football looking?

Yes I don't want 50-60 people like the glory days, but I want more than 10 too. I'd say maybe 20-25 people would be optimal? Every week too. As for Defiance, I have absolutely no reason to expect anything better than 2 or 3 wins until it happens. Sadly, the golden years of the first half of the Buti regime have now become the outlier of a 50-year terrible era instead of a rejuvenation of the pre-WBL history of Defiance Football.

Teddy,
Sorry but I don’t see the return of the “Glory Days” here on the RC.... I guess I’m just too tired to get on the Twitter Train which seems to be the preferred method of the millennials..... I do still have some RC polos I could be talked into donating.....zoom

I've often wondered what happened to some of the regulars on here. What ever happened to SliceSliceBaby?

‘bone,
Slicer was the glue that held the RC together...not exactly sure but I do know she ran into some physical/emotional issues and she moved up towards the Port Clinton area 2-3 years ago.....we used to stay in touch, but........

Lol, yeah, that's TOTALLY the reason. Those damn millenials. It's totally NOT a site owner more concerned with drumming up controversy and breaking stories that are complete fiction over actually running and improving his site. Nope. Just blame the millenials.

You're pathetic. I'd be back in a heartbeat if anyone actually ran this site. Unfortunately the only ones who ever cared either died or moved on.

Sorry you feel that way Dog........you’re probably right, I never cared about the RC. We/I started the RC for one, and one reason only....... I was tired of the Huddle and the chit that was happening there....Those “breaking” stories were actually our bread and butter. We were THE place to get the first scoop and we hung our hat on it. No, It was only about making those thousands of dollars and causing headaches for some. I’ll just slink on back now into my hole.....zooom

Please tell us how you really feel.

I think it was more the Twitter revolution. Everyone could get the real-time info right from the source instead of logging into a site and searching thru threads. I can get hundreds of state wide scores by just opening an app.

I do miss the game threads and the reporting aspect. I also miss Tim Stried from OHSAA being pissy with me/us. Lol.
