You gonna defend the classyness of Cooper flipping off our fanbase back in 2006? And you wonder why people think LCC is arrogant...

I must be old, but I watched a matchup between LCC and St. Henry when Nathan and Puthoff were there, but I'm thinking it was at St. Henry? Is this the game you were referring too? I noticed there was an exuberant amount of aggression at that game.

Lima is dead in my opinion. While all of what you guys said is true, it ultimately comes down to a people and community deal, and Lima just doesn't have that, where as Columbus and currently Cincy is gaining. Without personal or community initiatives to get things going, nothing is ever going to occur and as low income and dead as Lima is in terms of business and just personal drive to initiate a change, I don't ever see that changing and expect the population to continue to drop as the years go on.

....football?

within the past couple of years the following has been brought to Lima or improved in Lima.
Restaraunts: Chipotle, Tim Horton's/Coldstone, Panera Breads (even rebuilding one), Five Guys, Donatos, New Arby's, New Pizza Hut, 2 Japanese Steakhouses, 2 J's Sports Pubs
Shopping: Dunham's, whatever the new grocery store is, 2nd brand new Wal-Mart, Mall is filled, JcPenney and Kohl's re done
Manufacturing: Kettle Creations (bought out by Bob Evans), new offices and storehouses for INEOS, Potash, and Husky.
Downtown: Fat Cat Diner, The Met, Pears Avenue, Vivace
Car Dealers: Reineke Ford being upgraded, Reineke Nissan/Mazda being upgraded, Lima Auto Mall was upgraded, Taylor Kia came to town, Tom Ahl update all 3 facilities.

...seems like Lima might be on a different path then what you believe...

All of those businesses are on the edges of Lima. But from Spring St. down to about 8th St. is where most of the action is. People steal aluminum siding right off of houses there.

No the game you are referring to was in 2005 @ St. Henry in the regular season. LCC won that game in OT 17-14.

The game the St. Henry fan is referring to was the 2006 regional final at Wapak in which SH just rolled LCC. St. Henry fans were giving the LCC players and coaches all kinds of grief because they were down 50ish to 14 and threw a touchdown pass with the varsity on the last play of the game to score 20 points. I don't agree with booing a team for never giving up, especially in the playoffs. If I was a playoff team, I would probably have my main guys in the whole game (if losing big) just because they deserve the chance to play, I mean after all they got that far, might as well keep playing. As for Coopers actions following the game, I did not see it, but I am 100% sure it did happen, and am no way am I condoning those actions. I can relate a little with the frustration and heat of the moment taking over though.

You aren't even comparing apples to apples here.....comparing Lima to Cbus and Cincy....c'mon....also, Cincy has major problems....many of the people travel accross the river into Kentucky when they go out on the weekends......I guess Cincy did have 'Harry's Law"!!!!!!

Like was otherwise stated, few of those businesses are really in "Lima" and are more on the fringes of Lima, Elida, or Shawnee.

I will say though that the Fat Cat Diner has some delicious bread pudding though....you should give it a try sometime...nice little joint and I'm happy to see that one open up. They need to stop talking about it and actually do something about it, but the Nitza's building would be a great investment for somebody willing to take the initiative to do something with it.

Read the entire thread before you comment. I wasn't the first to make references in comparison to Lima and actual major cities in Ohio.

I hope LCC wins their region so they have a chance to get steam rolled by the university of coldwater. That would make my day.

[IJustWatchTheGame]

Just saying, nothing personal here and not trying bring up bad blood. But this rivalry is great, the talk is great, but i would not speak too soon Osu4me. Except for a group of 40ish kids, and a small community, everyone was sure LCC would win state championship last year, and they were done week one of playoffs. Now this is different because its a heated rivalry, but when trash talk threads like this are created, it gives teams like Ada that sweet sweet SWEET taste in their mouth and the right to start a thread like this after a game that ends your entire season like LB did last year. Glad you knew what you were starting, at least you didn't do it out of ignorance. But it's been entertaining reading all the talk between the two except for the state of the city of lima... But hey, i'll add my two cents. One city you CAN compare lima to is Findlay. Relative in size. D1 and d5 school (LCC and LS) and findlay has d1 and d5 (FHS and LB). Living in Findlay since i was born, I can honestly say that I have not once, in my entire life, felt threatened or at any risk of violence/crime. And I could be walking alone in the dark in nearly any part of all of findlay and feel safe. Great community. But thats just my two cents.
