Before 1972, also there was a lot of bias. Since the bias was basically eliminated with a postseason format, amazingly, the number for Massillon is zero.
And just when I thought me and you would never agree on anything!!

Most games are return games from 2019/2020 since they had 5 away last year and wheeling park was also supposed to be away last year but cancelled due to covid, Linsly chooses to play at Bi Red, and Liberty I’m pretty sure will be away in 2021I haven't read the thread so if this has already been discussed then I apologize. 9 home games is ridiculous.
When one is intelligent, handsome, and charming like myself, it's not difficult to agree with me. I'm here to make Yappi great again.And just when I thought me and you would never agree on anything!!
Yes there IS a reason....ask Reno. He quit the series because Massillon was dominating at the lower levels and Ole Reno knew what the future held....he can't erase the record vs Massillon like he erased what was on the players phones years ago.There is literally no reason we shouldn’t play every year.
1. The class that won state in 2017 had to face Danny Clark so it was just a huge mismatchYes there IS a reason....ask Reno.

2. Why is it always brought back up for no reason
IDK the last time the last time they played in middle school so I can’t answer that.A 4-6 Massillon team! Why haven’t the two teams played since then??
Here’s my thing with scheduling for the future... bc of harbins you can’t always schedule certain games because of points needed to make the playoffs. With expanded playoffs I can see some teams schedule games they used to and not worry about seeding. This season for Big Red is a step towards that by scheduling Olentangy Liberty and De Sales. Park only plays when they have good teams. NP and Dover have developed into great rivalry series. Linsly gives you a competitive team that never quits. Mooney has history and reputation to live off of. You need the two gimme games with the Pittsburgh City teams in every schedule. I can see Massillon and Big Red being opening week games in the future once the Liberty contract is up. Can everyone understand/agree with the thought process?
Maybe not but the expanded playoffs help the chances due to more room for a loss for both sidesI hope I am wrong, but the Tigers and Big Red are not playing in the near future.
I can agree with that it’ll probably the biggest game in the state if they play in the next 2-3 years with the classes Big Red has coming upSome regular season wins mean more than playoff wins. Not playing this game is simply a disservice to the players, fans and communities. It’s a big game. Maybe neither team wins state or a regional title that year but one got to beat the other.
I’d much rather beat Steubenville or you guys beat Massillon that beat up on some suburban Columbus scrub team.
I agree but I don’t care about what classes you guys have coming up or what classes we have coming up. Every season this game isn’t played a senior classes is getting robbed of an amazing experience.I can agree with that it’ll probably the biggest game in the state if they play in the next 2-3 years with the classes Big Red has coming up
When I played I wanted to beat Massillon and Mooney and was only able to beat one of themI agree but I don’t care about what classes you guys have coming up or what classes we have coming up. Every season this game isn’t played a senior classes is getting robbed of an amazing experience.
With Massillon matching up with Pick Central and St. Ed. It would be no better than the 4th biggest game on Massillon's schedule let alone the state.I can agree with that it’ll probably the biggest game in the state if they play in the next 2-3 years with the classes Big Red has coming up
Why?I can see Massillon and Big Red being opening week games in the future
Are they on the schedule every year for a while? If so I can understand that then.With Massillon matching up with Pick Central and St. Ed. It would be no better than the 4th biggest game on Massillon's schedule let alone the state.
Big Red is usually open week 1 every year and the weeks that are tough for them to schedule are towards the end of the season bc most teams are in conference playWhy?
Honestly I thought that way about all the old All American Conference games back in the 60's, and 70's. Those games with all them teams was brutal back then. Packed stadiums for just about all of them too. Great atmosphere on Friday nightsI attended my 1st Big Red-Mass. game at Harding in 1957. Whether the game was at Harding or Massillon, for this fan, no other game matched the energy and intensity of that series. Even when it was a given that Big Red was about to take a thumping. Just a fun atmosphere. Massillon fans probably have similar atmospheres against other teams, also. Hope they can get it together again.
That's fine but by those standards the game would have been scheduled a while ago.Big Red is usually open week 1 every year and the weeks that are tough for them to schedule are towards the end of the season bc most teams are in conference play
I’m just talking about in the futureThat's fine but by those standards the game would have been scheduled a while ago.
I think the coach that recently retired from Akron Manchester had 401 wins.I just looked this up, Reno needs 1 win to become the winningest coach all-time in Ohio and 8 wins to reach 400 career wins
Thanks I added Reno’s games without adding France’sI think the coach that recently retired from Akron Manchester had 401 wins.
Yep, He acts like he was around in the 40's thru the 60's.Another “tomato can” response.

Most school only count the titles they win on the fieldYour fan, RollRed posted your titles as 4. Take it up with him. Evidently, he doesn’t respect Steubenville’s pre-playoff championships.
