Early analysis of the OVC and predictions for how it ends up: 1. Ironton (4-2; 3-0) most physical team in the league, best defense in the league, but need to develop a passing game and limit penalties to win the close games. 2. Gallia (5-1; 3-0) next most physical team with great athletes. Offense i...

Being a supporter of Coach Vass and Coach Burcham, I was sad to see them go. But being an Ironton Tiger supporter, I must say that Coach Pendleton and his staff have done an impressive job thus far! Will be interesting to see Hammer and the Burcham brothers squaring off against their alma mater this...

My Tigers took care of business last night. Got a chance to see some of the young talent on this team. We already start a lot of sophomores so the future looks pretty bright. I think we can win the OVC and challenge for the playoffs in Coach Pendleton’s first season. Gallia looks to be the team stan...

Gritty effort by the Tiger defense last night against a good Ashland team! If we can cut out the turnovers, penalties, and get the offense playing at the same level as the defense it should be a good season! Go big I

Fairland might be the odds on favorite in the OVC with a big road victory at Athens. Should make for a good game against the tigers Friday. Go Big I

Looks like this was a good ballgame last night. Was West defense just that good or did the Trojans play poorly on offense? I was surprised to see the Trojans with only 53 yards of offense and Parker with just 9 touches after last weeks offensive performance. Looking forward to week 10!

Good win for the Tigers! Come from behind to beat a good Russell squad after a gritty showing last week vs Burg. Looks like the Pendleton hire is proving to be a good one. Go Big I

The Tigers seem to have difficulty making the transition to the spread on offense and defending it on defense. The T has been really good for our tigers for many years and the kids seem to be most comfortable when running it. I am a supporter of Coach Vass but the biggest complaints I hear in the st...

Interesting predictions for next year. I think the Tigers need to be in the top 3. If healthy, gotta believe hey are the team to beat. As far as talent and key players returning, we should finish first. The lack of respect given to us now is sad and I think this whole coaching mess has hurt our imag...

I think I’m in the minority here, but I think the Tigers need to hold onto Coach Vass. It’s pretty late in the ballgame to be making a switch in coaching staffs. How serious are we with the Pendleton or any of the other candidates mentioned on here?

Can any Trojan posters out there provide some details about the new head coach, i.e. previous coaching experience etc? Best of luck to the new coach and the Trojans, every week except week 10. The word up here is that the administration didn't support the previous coaching staff? Evidently not true,...

Hope the community gets behind this staff. Injury free this is a playoff team next year.

If my tigers are able to avoid the injury bug this season, I think they easily win the OVC and make the playoffs! And I may be in the minority here, but I think Vass gives them the best chance to do both.

Man, I thought my Ironton Fightin Tigers had a brutal and delusional fan base. After reading these threads about the Trojans I have to believe they are even worse. First of all, from my vantage point, the Trojan players aren't very good. The hype is just that...hype! Daddies that probably weren't an...

Vass has done a good job. It's amazing to me the amount of criticism his own people have given him. He has won conference championships and taken every one of his teams to the playoffs until this season. Not to mention having the task of replacing a living legend.

Hope this isn't true. My Tigers have a chance to be good next year if healthy and the kids stay put where they belong. Unfortunately, in this world we live in, people like to take the easy way out and the rich seem to get richer. Not sure how fulfilling that could be.

I'm old school and liked how things were before open enrollment. I believe in going to school where you live and winning or losing with the kids you grow up with. Too easy for kids and parents nowadays to jump ship when things aren't easy. Not sure what that is teaching kids in the long run. And let...

Portsmouth by a bunch! Taking nothing away from this years Burg squad as they were fabulous and won the hardware! I've watched a lot of high school football and the 2000 and 2001 Trojans are the best I've seen around these parts and it's not really close. I would put the 1979 Ironton fighting tiger ...
