    SVSM Irish 2024 and 2025

    Lol! I'm thinking it's going to be a while until beating the Irish is considered that much of an upset...

    I also remember the Wildcat package they'd run with Vince Lockett at QB and Newman and Aaron Adkins as the RBs. There was a LOT of power in that backfield!

    Lol! I remember when they would snap the ball to Newman out of the punt formation. I sort of thought it was a little unfair to expect the punt return team to have to try to tackle him; especially when he got a full head of steam going!

    SVSM Irish 2024 and 2025

    The play that comes to mind to me was a game in Dayton when the Irish were playing a really good Thurgood Marshall team. They stopped TM at the 1-yard line (or half foot line!). The first play was a quick hitter up the middle and Parris broke through the line clean. He cut to the right...

    Summit County Football- 2025

    To be fair, especially when they had Sperling, giving the ball to your RB 35 times a game may not be too imaginative, but it has been pretty effective!

    SVSM Irish 2024 and 2025

    To me, for this year this should make little difference to the Irish. Whether they are D2 orD3, a long playoff run (or a playoff appearance at all!) is likely not in their future this year. They have a great and challenging schedule. This year if they can get some wins and be competitive in...

    RIP StarsToShine

    He was a good poster, but a much better man. He loved the Irish and the Irish faithful loved him. RIP.

    Any word on what colleges are looking at him? I'd love to see him stay in Akron!

    Best Ohio Basketball Teams of All Time

    I just got done watching a 30 for 30 documentary on ESPN about the early 80's Baltimore Dunbar high school basketball team featuring 4 future NBA players; Reggie Lewis, Reggie Williams, David Wingate and Muggsy Bogues. They went 60-0 in the 80-81 and 81-82 seasons. Anyway it reminded me of this...

    Just got done watching the Akron U versus Ohio U basketball game. Good to see Seth Wilson (STVM and Lorain) back in the area and playing for the Zips. He was in the starting lineup tonight. And he still looks strong enough to be a linebacker!!!

    Here is a brief article on the Irish win over a very good Hoban team last night. While I haven't gotten to see the Irish play this year, it looks like John Whorton and DeCarlo Prince have been playing stellar ball this year. STVM has a middling 6-5 record, but given their SOS that should come...

    Akron City Series Basketball 2024-2025

    Here's a nice article on the Buchtel/ Lutheran West game. And while this one didn't go the Griffs way, it looked like a great game to watch between two very good teams. I'm not sure if they are still in the same division, but, if so, then I'd expect a rematch somewhere down the road...

    If the Irish have the need for a new freshman coach, then that's a victory in and of itself!

    Akron City Series Basketball 2024-2025

    I've sort of been out of the loop, but how is Firestone looking? With the new coach a couple of years ago, I was hoping they would be moving back to more consistency. Any comments on how that program is developing?
