If you recall IC played a freshman quarterback, and most of their freshman team.

I like to watch Big red play they are a class act football program, but you kill me.
The first time Big Red gets a kink in the armor the EXCUSES come out. IC reserve team beat you, yeah but we played all freshmen against IC. Apparently Reno or his coaches fielded a team that thought could beat IC ,
you think they would put a team on the field that will lose to IC? So your excuse for playing younger kids sinks like a rock. besides that Big Red team ran their butts off the next day because they lost to IC.
I talked to big red coaches about it.
Big Red lost to Inkster, Oh Macon got hurt, the refs this and that, we had kids that were hurt, you think you are the only school that has to play with adversity?
You guys would gain more respect if you just said yeah we got beat it happens, you played a good game..
Most People do not want to see big red lose, but the people who do, want it because of over the top fans.
Good luck to big red and the fans I know ,,,not the over the top fans ,, you know who you are.
My school has not played them for a decade and logically I know that I shouldn't go out of my way to root against them but this is the reason. Its like why i have to go the extra mile to root against OSU. Because even though the overwhelming majority of the fanbase are decent folks who love their team, the bad winners and sore losers of the vocal minority don't allow me to ever hope they have success or something to brag about.Camoman;421348 wrote:Most People do not want to see big red lose, but the people who do, want it because of over the top fans.

When an athlete participates in high school football they are supposed to get something more than just wins and state titles out of it, and at Steubenville it seems to me that the only thing that they get out of it is to say that " I played at SHS". The fans and certain coaches could care less what happens to these athletes after Football is over, this can be seen most by what happens to the African American players who graduate from Big Red, they get used by the program and are not helped after football is over. Where are the Black coaches at Steubenville? Where are all the great Black athletes that go on to the next level? These athletes only get to go to local colleges that a certain coach has ties to and the reasons are that the coaches don't give a damn about their GPA while they're toting the rock and this is what denies them the ability to go to top notch or mid tier schools. And before anybody doubts anything that I'm stating I know this for a fact because I've had a son go through the system and he's shown and told me what take place at that school. So keep on winning state titles and going to the playoffs while you deny what the game is actually there for...to produce young men that will go out and be productive members of society. And I know that you play the game to win, but at what cost....Go ask former black athletes from Big Red what they think of the program and I'm sure that a MAJORITY of them will tell you that they got used!!!!
And thats all I got to say about that.

Many black males from the inner city are in trouble all over the country. But I'll bet it has nothing to do with our deformed society/ poverty/ racism/ etc. but comes back and has everything to do with SHS football.

So legal problems all over the country all go back to the high school football team that one played for. Tell us more, Dr. Sociology.....

It's like I live close to L.A., New York, Atlanta, Cleveland, or even Columbus.
Steubenville has such a large population. Thats why, with all of your "Open Enrollment", you are still a D3/D4 school.
Give it up.
