I would just like to know why you have so much hatred in your heart?? It is not good for you.

If any of these people saw how much time and effort the staff and players put into this nobody would hate on them.
Some people get upset with Big Red's fans. I understand that. That is fine. However to bad mouth the kids, on any team(ie. creek, liverpool, ect) is wrong. They are kids.
As far as the Thursday night game. I believe that they both started around the same time. Toronto vs Wellsville and Big Red Vs Ryan.

Any other team could do the same..if they felt like scheduling 7 out of state teams.

They backed out on us, we didn't back out on them. We had to replace them with Morgantown, a Div. I team that won their state championship as recently as 2005 and 2006.

We have Brooke and Inkster on our schedule. They both made it to the state final game last year. Buffalo St. Joe's was ranked as the number one team in New York in 2005 despite their loss to us. The year we started playing O'Hara, they brought a 26-game winning streak to Harding Stadium.

In sum, the non-Ohio teams we play are tough. There is nothing wrong with playing them.

You do have a choice. Play away games..and more Ohio teams will play you. I don't care who you schedule or how many games you play at home..if you can do it..great. I'm not one of the ones that hate on Big Red for that..doesn't matter to me at all. But don't act like it's just because everyone in Ohio is afraid to play you.

And if you buy into that argument now..well..that would be quite idiotic.

Apparently..as in..you don't really know..but this is what you've heard. Got it. I HIGHLY doubt Warren Harding dropped Big Red b/c they were 'afraid of losing to a smaller team'. Especially when that smaller school is Big Red. Everyone knows their reputation. Everyone knows Big Red is a great program year in and year out. Nobody is going to be 'ashamed' to have an 'L' in the loss column by Big Red.

So you can name 6 road games that you've scheduled in the past FEW years? 6? Really? LOL

For you to quit acting like the rest of Ohio is afraid to play Big Red..that would be a great start.
