Please don't call it the Burb of the Burgh. To do so is to denegrate Pittsburgh, which I'm sure wants no association with this dump.

agreed...and you REALLY gotta suck to denigrate Pittsburgh

Yea, cause Crafton, McKees Rocks, The Hill Dist, Northside, Homestead, etc..are all SO much nicer than Steubenville. And don't get me started on Youngstown.

...Manowar, and you thought I forgot about you.

Everyone in the ville has been getting a special wake up call from Manowar and his buggle since he was a young lad & he continues the tradition even to this day!............YOU BLOW YOUR HORN BOY!

Mooney44,
Big Red has only put TWO players that transferred into D1 or D2 schools. I have seen the list. My point was always wondering what kind of great school Big Red is if they are not putting these kids they attract into a college on a scholarship? They boast exposure, they boast having Jim Tressel in attendance, they boast playing all these top notch schools, they boast state championships, but they do not produce the product they are advertising. All they want is specific players that fit into Big Red's system and win SHS a high school championship. Nothing else. If the kid is good enough, the offers would have been there no matter where they went, not because they chose Big Red.

Who exactly from SHS boasts these things???? The 5 whole fans that post regularly on the HS forum here (who all seem to know fuck about fuck, IMO). "They boast state championships, they boast playing all these top notch schools, but they do not produce the product they are advertising". That's funny b/c I think they have state championships and play top notch schools every year, including the ones in the playoffs. Since you're a supporter of IC I should explain that the playoffs are a state football tournament held every year around the time your guys are conditioning for b.ball.

Out of curiosity how many kids from IC are playing D1 football right now??? If you can say you have players playing D1 ball then that will obviously make other kids think they can do it too. Can kids look at the IC football program right now and say "if I play for this school I can play D1??? So again how many kids from Creek are playing???

What a kid does with his opportunity is his to take advantage of. You can't force a kid to play well enough to get a D1 scholarship. God SOS you are such a fucking moron, LOL.


Now wipe that jelly off your face and GTFO.

as for proof of the "made up stats", It'll be a cold day in hell before anyone talking anything HS football on this site can back up something they say with actual prrof. C'mon you don't see that by now??? You should get your proof around the same time the mouths on this site prove the recruiting that SHS and Mooney do.

I've got a good example of Big Red's recruiting process. My little cousin is 10yrs old and goes to one of the Buckeye Local Elementaries. His dad is a Big Red grad but during the season they go to the Buckeye games. They even went to the BL playoff game last year. However after Buckeye's season is over my uncle and my little cousin hit the road with the rest of us and go to the Big Red playoff games.

I'll give you a guess where my little cousin wants to go to High School and why.....Alright I'll just tell you. He wants to go to Big Red to play football. My other cousin is on the staff fro the BL football team and is always trying to talk my little cousin into being more of a BL fan, but he doesn't want to play for BL when he gets to HS b/c "they stink" and Big Red is good.

Now I doubt he actually goes to Big Red b/c although my uncle is a SHS grad I highly doubt he;s gonna drive him up to Steubenville every morning for school. But you never know. You see my point.

And SOS, as far as more exposure by playing at SHS. You know you can't deny that. If nothing more than by virtue of the fact that Big Red has played how many more games than IC in the years since IC has been a school.

Keep crying, bitchass.

Hell of a stadium..

I think a lot has to do with it doesn't seem like any of our local schools regularly graduate big kids with big talent to go with it. The next level is looking for tall/fast WRs, bruising backs or people who can outburn on the ground, 6-5, 320lb lineman (on both sides). The valley doesn't produce those very often, so even if a kid tears up in HS, they may just not be good enough to get a scholorship to a big time school. Most of our local D1'ers go to Mac type schools who's players tend to be more our size.

Sounds about right to me.

A kid could be a great football player. But if he can't pass an entrance exam, he's not getting a scholarship.

If you want to see the list of Big Red players who have gotten college scholarships over the past 27 years (the Reno era), go to the Big Red thread under high school football.

Lighten the fuck up dude. I don't give a shit about Steubenville. I don't care about their high school, or their team. I care about them one week a year...if that. I was making a joke and you get your fucking panties in a bunch.

You're pretty defensive on here...why don't you quit being such a little bitch.

LOL, Looks like you're the one who should take your advice and lighten up, no??? Christ. When the fuck did I jump down your throat??? Yeah I didn't. So, like you said, lighten up. Haha, It's ironic that you called ME defensive in that post.

Youngstown & Steubenville are both shit holes & I live in Steubenville.

Best place to look up where Big Red players are at after high school is the Ohio Penn web site. And I am NOT kidding. It's amazing how no problems with the kids happen until one day after football season has ended.

It is true downtown Steubenville is a piece of shit.Anywhere from Harding stadium west is a nice place to live.

You are joking because D3 schools don't give scholarships and some of them did not even play varsity in high school. The list is kids who have attended college and I know their are some on that list that never made it past freshman year let alone actually playing varsity for that school..

You've been bitching this whole thread.

Wait, lemme guess....you're going to say "I wasn't bitching". Steubenville people are the biggest bunch of "dish it out but can't take it" fans on earth. The classier fans sit idly by while the moron Big Red fans run their mouths all season. Then as soon as people start to retaliate and bash Steubenville for what they are, suddenly the "classy" fans step in and cry foul. Its the same game every year. The only time your fanbase ever shut the fuck up was when Mooney steamrolled you on the way to state title #7. So please Steubenville folk....stop trying to defend your city, your school, your team, because 1) people are just trying to get under your skin because they know you can't take it, and 2) you deserve every thing that is said about your town, your school, and your players for being a bunch of pompous fuckwits for years.

Young Lad,
Once again you know not the shit that falls from your mouth... You are backing up what I said 100%. Its advertised (Especially on here) that Big Red produces D1 athletes. That would not be a lie. Its the Open Recruits that do not get those scholarships. Look at rollredroll.com an see just how many transfers have received scholarships in the past 20 years. I will save you some time... ITS TWO. Both of which could be debated that if they stayed where they were they would have STILL received those scholarships. So what does that say for Big Red??? False advertisement... The kids getting the majority of the D1 scholarships are born, bred, and raised right in Steubenville. The recruits are called in, based on so many players going D1 (only 2, and 2 good ones I might add) they are exposed to D1 coaches (Jim Tressel attends EVERY state championship game, not just the one Big Red plays in. He is looking at Sophmores and Juniors also... Not Seniors.) And they are wowed at a play-off experience.

So what has Big Red done for them that they can't do on their own? Its not a question of glitz and glamor, a Big Red uniform, a play-off run, a "possible" state championship... Its a matter of people saying that kids transfer to Big Red for scholarships and exposure when in fact they are brought in to make sure Big Red keeps making the play-offs and has a chance at a state title. There is nothing wrong with that, Its every high school football teams goal... But to say all that other crap is just what it is, crap. You can get into a D3 school pretty much anywhere you play in this valley and get money to help the costs.

Hindsight is 20/20. You spell it potatoe, I spell it potato. There are two sides to every story and this is my side. Do I care how these transfers decide to play for Big Red? No. Thats something we have all pretty much just said "it is what it is" and go about our business. I am a firm believer that if you play for Big Red you will get to play in the play-offs, you will get to play in a very nice stadium, you will get to play for the most decorated and best coach in this valley, you will in some way get to say that your from Big Red, you will play football at least at a D3 school... BUT... If you stay at your hometown school, and you work hard enough, and you BEAT Big Red, you will get noticed as well. Just ask Kettering Alter.

I HEARD about this happening in Lincoln . You guys know anything about that lol

Big Red has put them in playoff games, given them the possibility of exposure via the fact that they play those extra games that they would not get at Indian Creek for instance. i'm sure that Kettering Alter and the rest of the Catholic schools have no students coming from across town or out of town. So, like i said who besides the posters on this site are advertising these things??? Oh Right you can't name em. Face it, OE is going on in every corner of the state just not at your school b/c, well frankly, why would anyone want to transfer to play at Indian Creek???? Playoffs??? Nope. Big games???? Union Local. Some of the states best coaches??? Refer to the playoffs question. So you tell me, what can they get at Big red that they can't get at their home school...Boom Goes the Dynamite (in SOS's face....AGAIN) lol.

so, when is Indian Creek going to work hard enough to beat Big Red??? The kids they have there are the ones who've stuck w. their school. Are they not working hard enough???? If so why the hell not??? I don't care if a kid goes to play D1. If he does it's b/c he accomplished it. It has been done. It's happening right this second. Again, how many from Creek are playing D1 right now??? How bout Buckeye??? Etc, etc???

Would Andrew Conner have gotten what Reno got out of Zach or Branko, Dreylon, etc???? No. B/c Conner is not half the coach. So I belive you are incorrect about kids being able to achieve the same things at any school. There is a hell of alot to be said for coaching. Do you not agree with that????

Can you tell me those kids that made it to D1 from Big Red would have reached the same potential they've reached at Big Red, in IC's weight room??? On Ic's practice field??? Playing IC's schedule??? Not making the playoffs those years????

Do you like using question marks???? Do you come off like just another pompous Steubenville fan???? Do you also come off as extremely defensive when you type out run-on sentences and paragraphs with several question marks following each "question"???? Can you shut the fuck up and enjoy your team's success without bitching and moaning about every accusation lobbed in Steubenville's direction????

Dude, seriously. I don't care how my annonymous internet persona comes off to you. I know that my posting right now if just irritating the living fuck out of you, lol. So, you should do yourself a favor and not read it. This is a message board and this is the shit people do on message boards.

Can I have an argument with this dude or that dude??? Is that allowed??????????????? Can I use question marks??? Is that okay????? You just let me know and I will surely bend to every request b/c I wouldn't want you to be annoyed with me.....

People argue all the time on here. Go police someone else's, i'm sure you can find another one.
