Just wanted to update you as to the football coach that our AD and BOE wanted to retain last year:

They did not just loose. They lost biiiiiiggggg! 0-10 for the season and scored only 13 points the last 5 games.

Compared to Delphos? Delphos has arguably the worst economy and most dead society per capita in all of NW Ohio. St. Mary's, Sidney, Celina, etc are like New York City compared to Delphos in terms of economic growth and utilizing the US 33 and I 75 business. Delphos on the other hand has people selling downtown real estate for 3 times what they paid for it, while Lehmkuhle owns most all the North Downtown buildings and is doing NOTHING with them besides letting them rot away. Westrich owns the southern buildings and they rarely have business in them or if they do they are out within a year. I won't even bother getting into the "Ulm's editions" on the south side of town. That A-hole was trying to purchase the Peltier home from Adams to LEVEL IT and put in another mobile home park....unbelievable....way to boost real estate value there. All you have to do is head down to the canal museum and check out Delphos from 20, 40, 60 years ago and you can sit back and cry at it's decrepit state now. At one time, Delphos had movie theaters, businesses galore, trolley's running through the streets......now it just has vacant buildings, senior living centers, and mobile home courts.
With that being said, St. Mary's has had some issues with this stadium based on what I've heard from a few people there. They are already kind of vexed that they are "splurging" tax dollars while being in significant debt from building their new school when there is already a football stadium available.

If they wanted to keep him, then how did he leave? Did he just resign from any kind of community pressure? I don't remember.

Been to Paulding or Montpelier lately? As bad as you think it is in Delphos, it is worse to the North. Williams and Paulding Counties are not exactly meccas for jobs or a great standard of living either.

I've been through both but not in a few years. Delphos can "pad it's stats" by leaching off of jobs in VW(who is also crumbling) and Lima(has been crumbling) by being between the two. At the end of the day, Paulding isn't on US 30 and survives basically because it's the county seat as a farming community........Montpelier wasn't that bad when I went through it...they had a hell of a lot more business than Delphos does. Delphos has well over half the downtown completely devoid of anything....then if there is something, it's some "business" that deals with trinkets, antiques, coins, or an ebay consignment shop. They might as well put up a kiosk on 5th street selling decorative magnets while they are at it. People buy elsewhere.....Ft. Wayne or Lima.....people work elsewhere.......people get entertainment elsewhere. Delphos offers up just about zilch in anything unless it's high school athletics. You take that away and that city is more or less a ghost town. You wouldn't know otherwise if you went through the downtown on a typical day. I remember when I lived there you could walk downtown and there were at least some things to buy, see, or do and you would run into people........now you just have to go to the museum to see that.

Rider CPA,
I'm sure the new "Field Turf" will have soccer lines put in? I heard a story once that Coach Baughman said that if they played soccer on the field that they could take his name off of the stadium. I'm sure they will play soccer on it and will keep his name on the stadium.

Not sure if they'll have stands or a pressbox by the fall but seeing as how it's mostly concrete and steel construction for that and very little "finish work", they may get it done in time.
I'd rather shower at Penn State than root for Michigan.

Meh...guess I don't really care. Piqua's field is very nice and has a track around it. Hell, even the shoe had it. I'd rather have that than the suicide wall at Van Wert.
