D2 State Title Game - Oh brother, no... Washington vs Hoban

[allamericanironman]

Why the hate for Washington? What am I missing? Shouldn't the hate be more towards Hoban?

I think most people would largely agree that their disdain is less-so rooted against the school itself, but the community and it’s generally noxious fanbase (including its message board following.) Although, at the same time, I think the Nate Moore and Thayer Munford situation (interesting that each of them both decided to move to Massillon from Cincinnati at the same time) has galvanized a lot of the general disdain, too.

My own personal animus relates to the paper titles chest-thumping and how Massillon fans decide to be the arbiter of what poll champions are legitimate and which ones are not.


(FWIW, as a Catholic school fan, I think what Hoban has accomplished is tainted, I think their means of getting where they were at today has been despicable, and I want to see them piledrived out of OHSAA postseason play for a good long time.)

I say piledrive the whole lot of them out! It’s sad that we all have to follow suit to compete with the filth.

Never mind I found it in the recap, little over 16,000

You know I never really thought how rich the OHSAA has to be no wonder they will never kick the Catholics out. The bottom line is the bottom line.Too much money involved to change anything. It’s thegood ole boy system you think they care about anything but money?

Oh of course it comes down to money and how they can't get enough of it. I mean Beau Rugg couldn't even answer the reason why they don't keep the games centralized, kept saying there's a comity. I even posed the question why it isn't rotated around, Cincy, Columbus, Canton and he couldn't even answer that. For a guy who's so high up within the OHSAA he sure didn't have any answers or at least none that he would admit to anyways.

This was the best answer I could get::
There are many factors. Financial, availability of site, hotels, staff and a million more. The geographic center of the state is not their biggest concern. You would have to ask them why.

When I asked who them is he said, our board gives final approval.

Funny to think a DII championship game almost doubled the size of the DI championship game.

After watching this one, I have to say Washing impressed me.
