Guy's Let me be clear , I understand , That was FRIDAY's Prediction only, Not Game Day!

[A-Town Big Dog]

I don't mind his prediction or opinions (that is what this site is for) as long as they are done in a respectful way as they clearly were in this situation. I also caution some of my fellow Bulldog fans on dealing with success in an appropriate way, it wasn't that long ago (2007,2008) that Logan and Athens were polar opposites of where they are now and while the immediate future (2013,2014) may look to be more promising for Athens it won't always be that way. I know many Logan fans ran us down in the dirt when we were down (some still do) and a little payback is okay but keep in mind how fast things can change.

[doubleplay643]

Oh how true that is A-Town BD2, the cylces of a program are inevitable. Having played both the Athens and Logan JV and Frosh teams this year I think maybe just maybe the Chieftians may rebound in a couple years if not sooner. And then the wheel turns, always happens to some extent.

This will be a completely different ball game from the Gallipolis game last week. Gallipolis was more of a run team and Marshall could just about figure what was coming. Athens has a lot stronger passing game and the running game might turn out to be big if Marshall's defense plays the passing game too much.

I don't see Athens stopping Marshall but Athens should keep the score a lot closer with their offense staying on the field longer. Also Marshall had one of those games that just about everything went their way and that won't happen two games in a row. If Athens gets a few breaks you just might see them next week .

Go Bulldogs

TM coach is an $$$. When playing Chillicothe, up 40 with under 2 min left in the game, TM was using the no huddle offense. With All their starters still in. Chili had already put their jv team earlier in the 4th. TM left their starters in the whole game to run up the score. Classless coach. Hinton was very ticked after the game at their coach. I hope somebody really puts it to them . He'll get his someday

I agree , ive said all week athens has a better chance than gallia To score this week , still not sure how much as TM is pretty good . we played our standard sorta game last week and what was our strength so was theirs and then some We needed to have more passing that created space then come back with some runs . If Athens can run or pass and keep their offense off the field then it gives them a chance . They are quick . Good luck. I'll be listening To it somehow. Was hoping STO might show it on tv but they only show Northern teams .

i wish athens the best of luck. i would love to see a south east ohio team in state semi finals. but your going to run up against one of the best teams i have ever scene play i spent 3 years in the navy in the hampton roads area scene some great teams there. this team could compete against many rgeat teams i have ever scene. yes this game will be different then last week. yes Athens passing attack may cause them some additional problems. But i will be pleasantly surprised if athens can complete even 35 or 40% of there passes. yes TM will play man. and they will play zero cushion. will they get burned. yes? but they will catch receiver after 15 or 20 yard game and they will have one or two kids playing center field waiting to pick off errant passes. don't know what to pick for final score but cannot imagine it being close.

if athens scores more then 21 against there first team i will be shocked. i will really be surprised if it is anymore than 14. then after subs come in who knows what may happen. Good luck have lots of fun and enjoy the moment. then as a fan as you watch you will be seeing something special on the field.

Talented organized tough looking group working together. The qb and those tall receivers should be a handful for t-m. Good luck tonite athens, you deserve to be there. GET-ERRRR-DONE DOG'S!!!
