If Big Red takes all the Valley's best athletes away from their home school and that's the only reason they win, then why do these area schools have no trouble beating Big Red's Ohio Valley All Star team (same athletes that play football) in every other sport???? Basketball, baseball. Whatever. Those sports require great athleticism. Yet the super elite athletes that Big Red has stolen away from Buckeye, IC, Weir routinely get beat by their old school in these sports. WHY???

Could it be that coaching and hard work are what wins Big Red football games???

Why are these superhuman athletes that Big Red recruits not good enough to win at all sports since they are simply the better athletes???? Couldn't it be that though other schools have good coaching and work ethic Big Red has the better. Look at any league, any level. There are plenty who are good. But some are better. In the NFL they have the best football coaches in the world. But some are better than others.

And what success??? You think they just started making the playoffs since open enrollment??? They've only won a total of three State Championships. It's not all that impressive...

Really what success are they having now that hasn't been going on since I started following in the late 80's early 90's??? They were bound to win a few more championships, but they won or went to nearly as many prior to open enrollment. If they just started regularly going to the playoffs and making deep runs after open enrollment you may be onto something. But they won and were going to championships, and cosistently making the playoffs long before open enrollment. We both know that's the truth.

Now how's that saying go????

I have tried to answer your question and when I do I get "Crybaby". Good come back son.

"Are you really trying to say that even with out the "Open Enrollment"/Recruits Big Red would be just as successful.
This has been going on for alot of years. They just call it "Open Enrollment" now and you don't need a run down house on 4th street for an address."

Keeping in reference to the cities in Ohio being a family, I present to you.....Youngstown:

Youngstown is your other uncle.....the greasy, hairy one. He's been unemployed for years (ever since he got out of prison). He likes to talk about how he used to be in the mafia, which you question, but then again every once in awhile he says something that scares the shit out of you and makes you believe he's been telling the truth and he's not THAT crazy. He can also beat up on the neighborhood kids, but they learned to steer clear of him a looooong time ago.
