Re: 2023 Ironton Tigers
First off - an admission... I'm not a huge fan of all the transfers to Ironton. When I played, we had ALL Ironton boys. But, to those saying we couldn't win without them - you are wrong. We wouldn't be as talented, but with good coaching, we'd still win. Carpenter, Carter, Barnes, Gossett, Duncan, e...

Re: 2023 Ironton Tigers
I know burg fans chime in on this to make themselves feel better about their program - kidding themselves into thinking it's all internal talent. I've talked to several people about this over the years. We usually enjoy a laugh about the inability of burgers to see the obvious. I'm going to try to n...

Re: 2023 Ironton Tigers
Again, agree to disagree. It's irrelevant when they come in and from how far away, in my opinion. They are either born and bred in district or not. If a kid lives in South Webster, Minford, etc. and goes to the burg, that simply is not a burg kid. Move on. You're not giving ground and neither am I. ...

Re: 2023 Ironton Tigers
The size differential wasn't that great...I believe one division separated the two. We played schools slightly larger than us - always have. No way burg should've avoided us. Also, burgers tend to underestimate the negative impact of the regime after Lutz. It was a sudden and drastic drop-off. My ho...

Re: 2023 Ironton Tigers
RBH23, a few thoughts... *Funny you mention the fact that Ironton was fortunate in playing a team not named Kirtland or from the MAC. The burg had that same good fortune in 2017. I don't think you guys would've beaten Kirtland or a MAC school that year. Just my opinion... *We dominated the burg befo...

Re: 2023 Ironton Tigers
A correction - Ironton has won state titles since 1989. They won a couple in golf in the 90s. Ironton has gone to 3 state final fours since then, too. How many has burg gone to in that time ? Honest question... I don't know. But, let's be serious & honest about this. The king sport around here i...

Re: Ironton out of OVC in 2024.
Good. It's settled. The burg and Ironton capitalize equally on talented kids both in and outside their districts. No more excuses for the burg. You're DONE.

Re: How in the world did tOSU let Burrows go?
All Haskins supporters - you are delusional. Burrows was better. In hindsight, Meyer had a lot of problems as a coach. His decision to play Haskins over Burrow was one of the worst coaching decisions in the history of the sport.

Re: Ironton out of OVC in 2024.
Why can't you burgers admit it ? You are winning with talent that is not "home-grown". They are from other places. You're being ridiculous. EVERYONE sees it but you.

Re: Ironton out of OVC in 2024.
Ironmen98, I've been pointing this out to burgites for a while. Somehow, their kids from other districts are fine - while other schools are vile and evil for taking in kids from out of town.

Re: Ironton needs out of OVC (in football)
I know someone of note in the conference. They told me it's going to happen. Ironton will be out of the conference (for football only). We'll see if he's right.

For the umpteenth time, kids from South Webster, Minford, Portsmouth, Ironton, Ashland, etc. are not burg's "own kids".

Re: Ironton vs South Range - D5 State Championship
Burg fans, please tell me that you understand that - although the title game losses are frustrating and heartbreaking - a 2nd place finish in a good football state like Ohio is a great achievement. Your 2 title game appearances pale in comparison to Ironton's number of title games. And you would not...
