2025 Federal League Football Official Thread

First saw posts from Fleadog101 and TigerPaw on the subject of "Federal League might be looking for new members". Check out the posts on that topic and you'll get the answer to your question.
FleaDog101 is in no position to realistically make projections on the future with McKinley and leagues.
I can back this statement up.

You forgot to mention that Massillon has won 9 games in a row. Why not? Especially, since you posted other opponents records. LOL.
It's a great looking graphic but yeah, I noticed that too.

On a somewhat related note, Green basketball has livestreamed their games for the past five seasons. From 2020-21 thru 2023-24, the scoreboard graphic on the stream always listed Green's record, but they stopped doing that this year. Gee I wonder why.

There aren't many teams McKinley has a losing record against. Massillon, Avon, Mentor come to mind. Who else? Euclid and Hoban maybe?

Since the year 1900, Canton McKinley has played 126 different schools, including out-of-state opponents. With a minimum of playing 3 games, the Bulldogs have a losing record with only 8 of the 126 schools. Other than Massillon, the other 7 are: Lakewood St. Ed 1-3; Youngstown Cardinal Mooney 6-8-1; Cleveland St. Ignatius 8-11; Mentor 4-7; Cincinnati Moeller 3-5; Pittsburgh Central Catholic 1-2; Mt. Union College 4-14-2.
There are several schools McKinley has played only one time, such as Martins Ferry, which McK won; and a few where they lost that single game, as mentioned above, Detroit Cass Tech, Cincinnati Colerain. Those schools which McKinley has played only one time total 9 games. As stated, those schools were not considered, although the Bulldogs have won 5 and lost 4 of those 9 games. The Bulldogs have played Akron Hoban only 4 times, with first game occurring back in 1949. The Bulldogs are 2-2 vs. Hoban, with Hoban winning the last two games played.

Hoban did not open until 1953 and did not field a football team until 1955.
McKinley won the 1964 match-up 31-14 and the 1965 game 32-7 and was defeated by Hoban in 2015 (49-0) and 2016 (42-14)

That's very, very good. Even the series records with Ignatius and Moeller and Mooney are respectable.

The fact that there's only nine teams total who McKinley has played only once seems quite low. I can think of a bunch of schools Green has only played only once in just the last ten years (Garfield Heights, South Range, Orange, Collinwood, Marion Harding, St. Charles, Canal Winchester, Winton Woods). As far as I know Green never played any of those schools on any other occasion.
 
It is such weird behavior how grown adults hang on to high school football scores from the 1970s. I am yet to meet a successful person in their career that cares so much about high school sports.

Hoban did not open until 1953 and did not field a football team until 1955.
McKinley won the 1964 match-up 31-14 and the 1965 game 32-7 and was defeated by Hoban in 2015 (49-0) and 2016 (42-14)
Thank you! The series record is indeed 2-2, but my oversight on the initial game not being played until 1964. I appreciate the date correction.

Who on here just hung onto a score from the 70s? I'm sure the guy that listed the games looked them up. What since they were 1970s nobody should count them?????. BTW with successful people that care so much about highschool football, I can show you several people who care that attend every game of their team and have a 7 figure bank account.

I do not know where you get your information ohiocrew, so let me give you the correct information here...
Canton McKinley Football (Canton Central High School, McKinley High School, McKinley Senior High School)
1894-2024, There have been 195 opponents (St. Augustine Prep will become #196)

13 opponents have a 2-game or more series lead over the Bulldogs (Massillon leads by 24, next is Mt. Union College which leads by 11)
23 opponents have a 1-game lead in the series, 17 of them up 1-0 in just the one time playing. (Detroit Pershing won by forfeit in 2007 1-0)
12 opponents are even in the series with McKinley (as mentioned above as an example, Hoban 2-2 and two, Buchtel College Prep, Canton Athletic Club Juniors are 0-0-1 considered also even).
60 opponents are down by 1-game in series of which 55 are 0-1 vs McKinley
85 opponents are down to McK in their series between the range of 2 games to 36 games as the most (Alliance -36, GlenOak and Akron South -26).

First game with Akron Hoban was played in 1964

JUST THE FACTS

There is a ton of weird behavior on this site - SO F'n WHAT? Thanks for adding to it U dope.
 
BAM!…Lookin like the last year in The Fed for the Bulldogs…BAM!
If this is true, I hope the McKinley administration has thought this through. There are a bunch of problems to overcome when you are not in a league.
All they have to do is call the coach 8 miles to the west, and he will verify this statement.

Let's be honest, McKinley doesn't draw great crowds for home games against local teams everyone knows. What will their home crowds look like playing out of area/state teams that nobody has heard of before?

They will now be tasked with finding opponents when most everyone else is in league play.

Now, since they have their new head coach and open enrollment, maybe they are planning on petitioning to move to the SEC. If that is their plan, then they should be OK scheduling wise.

This is false

Not true and not happening.
Believe me.
And on top of that post being false, it would take a formal announcement of a two-year ending of the agreement to exit the Fed from any school interested in doing so.

Your correct on the two year ending and the clock has been set, get in the loop double D...BAM!
 
  • Haha
Reactions: y2h

If you agree I'm correct, (who doesn't?) logic says that your post about McKinley leaving the league after next year is already FALSE since they have to wait two years to announce a withdrawal or the other admins kick McK out.
Stop listening to Henry and take a dose of reality knowing you were proved wrong within a few posts here and will be proved wrong again going forward with him in your ear.

Don't know a Henry,it's just a MOT...BAM!
 
What schools will be bringing back the most starters? I believe Green will be returning eleven, six on offense and four on defense plus the kicker.
