I 100% agree. That is why I was glad for them and McDowell fans to see the decent schedule they put together for this year. I believe the second year coach understands the reasoning for playing a good schedule. And he didn't go overboard like an Ignatius, but he has the kids playing a solid...

That makes no sense. Show me where Michigan played a High School team. You can't, so that was made up garbage. My only points are that: 1. Michigan leads the all time head to head (62-51-6). 2. Michigan Natty's: 12. osu Natty's: 9 And your response to those 2 points will be the normal...

The Army example was all about your thoughts regarding accomplishments that did not happen in your lifetime or even prior to the last 20 years. That's all osu fans keep mentioning and bashing anything that happened prior to. So under your logic and some osu fans logic, Army's titles mean...

You also seem to put more weight on current games. And if you do, you can say the same about the NY Yankees, Boston Celtics, Montreal Canadiens championships from the past. And the Army example would also fall in the same category.

I agree. Someday maybe. It would be a nice home and home if McDowell improves some. It is a very large school.

You/others pretty much make fun of those wins repeatedly, like they mean nothing.

A win in 1903 is the same as a win today. You are 1-0 with that win. In the standings, you are 1-0. To the coaches, you are 1-0. Going into your next game, you are 1-0. Pretty simple. Now math 2: Win 3 straight in 1903 and you are 3-0. Win 3 straight in 2025 and you are 3-0. Pretty cool eh...

That would be nice. But I think McDowell will be down for a bit. Not worth playing right now. Prep has also been down lately it seems. Their enrollment and kids playing is also way down. Their coach that won numerous state titles has not been the head coach for a few years. I think I heard a...

Yes. He is a first class person. Very down to earth and comes back to Erie every summer and does a free football camp for kids in the area. Great human being. McDowell also has their bitter rival and traditional state power Erie Cathedral Prep on their schedule every year.

I commend you. A very heart felt and honest post. (y)

I'm not asking 3A teams to play a 6A team. In the past, the coach would not be willing to go out and schedule big schools and decent teams. So they played 3A, 4A teams willingly. Also once PA went to regions, McDowell was in a region with HC, Ft. LeBoeuf, GM. So they were playing those type...

There are numerous 3A, 4A, teams that they usually would schedule. They could have easily even scheduled a Harborcreek, Ft. LeBoeuf, General McLane, Grove City, Hickory, Slippery Rock, etc... They have options, but chose to upgrade. Good for them. So I respectfully disagree, they did have a choice.

I was looking online at some of our local bigger schools HS football schedules. I just noticed that Erie McDowell's schedule has numerous games vs. Ohio big time programs: 8/22 - Highland at McDowell 8/29 - Mentor at McDowell 9/5 - McDowell at Chardon 9/26- McDowell at WGH 10/10- McDowell at...

They were winning the 2023/2024 season Natty no matter what. The TCU upset loss in the playoffs the year before was the driving force for everyone to return and come back with the same goal. Natty or bust. And they took care of ALL business. 15-0! Beat the charmin soft suckeyes! Big10 Champions...

Michigan is a first class University and football program. Proud to be a fan. High academic standards and high character football players and alum. Can you tell me about this so called "alternative universe" that you are posting about. You told me to ask my boss. So I did, just for you. And you...
