I root for Massillon in this series. But Massillon better play a lot better than tonight and week 10. Watched both games today and McK looked unbeatable in every facet of the game.

This one has to be at Akron. The Zips play at Bowling Green on Friday night so that won't be a problem as long as they got people to run stadium.

Thanks Skank!!! Loved you in that movie too!!!!!!!!!

Sliding on that ice butt assed naked was rough.

Let's Go PuPs....Beat Massillon AGAIN

Alum...I agree, but that's why they play the game. One of the reasons teams seldom beat another team twice in one season is because the team that wins the first game...seldom changes their game plan and why should they? It worked once...it should work again, right?? NO. The team that got beat the first time works overtime to figure out why they lost and correct their mistakes. I've seen it happen too many times.

Having said that, my heart says Massillon and my head says McKinley. They have wayyy tooo many athletes over there. But, Massillon has a way of winning with lesser teams and this just might be one of those teams.

The main reason Massillon looked ugly against Twinsburg, was the play calling. Perhaps I should say the execution of the called play. Rob had a rough game last night with that. I don't see him having another game like that. Remember Twinsburg returned 19 starters from last years team, so they weren't exactly chopped liver. A lot of experience over on that side of the ball.

The "EXPERTS" are most likely going to pick McKinley, but then they won't be playing in the game and most of them won't even be at the game. If I were allowed down on the field before the game, I could tell you who was going to win by looking into the players eyes. You can tell by the way the eyes look. No kidding, you really can. If McKinley comes in thinking they have the game won and all they have to do is show up...they will be in for a long night.

I believe the difference will be Massillon's offense. If it is clicking and not turning the ball over at the end of great drives...Massillon wins. If it is turning the ball over and not sustaining drives...Massillon loses. Massillon doesn't have the depth on defense to keep it on the field 3/4 of the game. The offense HAS to carry it's load in this game. McKinley is simply too talented for the offense to leave the outcome of the game solely on the shoulders of the defense.

Having said this...I think Massillon in another close game. I don't see a blowout by either team. Got to remember...this is Massillon/McKinley...it doesn't matter if it is Week 10 or Week 50. IT IS Massillon/McKinley Week.

Haven't been to Infocision Stadium yet, but it sure looks state of the art. Can't wait.

GO TIGERS!!!

McKinley is the team that is hot right now. They are playing their best ball of the year. Massillon has scored 10 points in their last 6 quarters. McKinley should win this game. Also, they match up better against Glenville.

Should be a good game once again. Can massillon stop the run if massillon can . Tigers have a chance to win but the bulldogs came together at the right time has a team . Iam liking the bulldogs in this one again. MVP
