If the two of you only knew how much time and effort that he puts in to covering ALL of Red Rider athletics with his blog (which most schools have nothing that compare to what RR1's blog is about and the information available there). He is also writing for the OrrViews, was on the turf committee, is active in the booster club, and also runs the animated screen of the scoreboard on Friday nights....thats all by choice and NO compensation!

Forgot to mention...also has three little one's at home!

I appreciate all that he does and enjoy reading everyone of his articles and posts to his blog! Keep up the hard work RR1...it is greatly appreciated by (ALMOST ALL) Red Rider fans!!!

I don't need to know nor be concerned with the amount of time and effort that he puts towards his hobby, passion and/or career. Those are "his" choices, compensation or not. If he didn't do them, with the exception of his blog, (perhaps), those positions are replaceable.

So, he has 3 small children, he is neither the first or only person with a family obligation of three children or more that yet still served themselves through their interests and hobbies.

Your "hoorahs" would lead some to believe that he's a public servant putting his life in harm's way.

Old Rider;1258914 wrote:Exactly the kind of response I would expect from you. You nailed it! Who are the "some" that would be lead to believe that he is a "public servant"? You mentioned it, so I am assuming you think that. 99.9% of the people that read my post would not draw those conclusions! You are an interesting individual....wow!

If someone would like to run the scoreboard, they can. I've asked for people to learn it along with me...no one has taken me up on it.
Websites are free to create...if someone wants to do one, they'd be more than welcome...no one has.

You are right...they are my choices. I CHOOSE to be involved, not to serve myself but to serve others. How you could perceive volunteerism as self-serving speaks to your view of the world.

I guess it's just easier to be bitter and question how others are doing things rather than stepping up and getting in the game.

Troll King;1259029 wrote:Well at the half Triway 29 Orrville 14. First thing I want to say is Fox 8 curse is alive and well. Second thing is our coach is calling the dumbest game ever. We are running at will on them and coach keeps throwing go figure. Lastly we have no qb. Triway has a sophomore playing that looks like a senior.

I'll never question the Fox8 curse again.

Field looked great & pregame was awesome but we were flat after that. Fans & players.

Bad passes, lots of drops & bad snaps. Just a very disjointed game & effort. Defense hung around but couldn't get the big play & stop when they needed.

Whole team looked bad. And tip your hat to Triway. They out executed us & just outplayed us.

We lost by 9, but it felt like 30.

Funny how the optics change when you win versus when you lose.

Red Rider Razzle;1259099 wrote:Congrats to Triway, they came in with a game plan and executed it and won. This was not a fluke win for them, they kicked Orrvilles butt. They out-played us, out-coached us, and the worst one in my book, they out-conditioned us. It seemed that a Rider was cramping up on every other play late in the game. Time for Orrville to rise back up and get back to work.

Again, congratulations to Triway.
