2025 Massillon Tigers

Oil Filter said:
No one is arguing that there aren't teams who flat-out refuse to play -- but one might reasonably suppose that there are more than 5 teams in the state of Ohio who would. Elder, X, Moeller, TCC, Hoban, Avon, etc. -- they're all scared to play us? As has been pointed out before, there are numerous possible reasons why none of those teams are on the schedule. And it is unlikely that any of them involve being scared.

So why hasn't it happened? I'm not arguing believe it or not you actually make some pretty good points but don't you think if we could get more in state opponents we would? I mean the proof is in the pudding it's been happening for years when we were mediocre so now that we are one of the top programs in the state again teams are not going to be beaten down our doors the play us. Massillon isn't the only team that has issues playing in state opponents like I was trying to JLP I'm close with some of the coaches and they want to play the best of the best so they're obviously going to schedule accordingly but they still would like to play some in state opponents but they are not willing to. I honestly don't understand what the argument is we got 10 games let's go play football who gives a damn who we're playing let's just go win a goddamn state championship again

Very simple ,because they could meet again in the playoffs. Alot of teams don't want to schedule a team they have a good chance of meeting again in the playoffs

Then why criticize local D II teams for not playing the Tigers during the season whose reasoning is we'll play them in the playoffs?

I agree, I can hardly blame them. So just say that^, like I/we just did, instead of all the other reasons they spew. Then it turns into a trolling contest in which both sides partake.

I don't think anyone realistically expects FL as a whole to start scheduling Massillon, Hoban, Walsh, Avon, etc. Best case scenario would be 1 other team besides GO & McKinley in any given year, esp. if they see a big/talented class coming up. Perry would probably be the best possibility if Leno turns them into a contender. In any case our sched. difficulties extend way beyond Stark.

Because that hasn't always been the case and right now the only local team we would most likely face in the playoffs is perry. The rest of D2 local teams in our division which are fed teams are now in Hobans region and I don't see them ever getting past them.

Perry is going to be the only team we would see in the playoffs unless the rest gets really really good and beats Hoban in that region. Them fed teams don't play Massillon because their testicles are small...period

I just think it is a silly (and bizarre frankly) thing to have spent this much time posting about. We have a few big challenges, and then McKinley, and then the real season begins.

It’s insane, I don’t know about you but I’d much rather play a strong team from Missouri or New Jersey then some 4 win Ohio team that just wants their kids to have the experience of playing at PBTS.
If it’s not the schedule, it’s the jerseys or what we put on the helmet, win a title and have a HC like Moore who wants to be here and cares about Massillon and the bit**ing and whining still won’t stop. Because other people have opinions also 😂😂😂😂

But we played a 1-win team from the UK just so our kids could have the experience of going to Oregon. :unsure:

One might also note that we've played some pretty weak OOS teams who were here only so "their kids [could] have the experience of playing at PBTS."

Here's 200+ we chose not to play.

Your move, Ace. Name 200 teams we contacted who refused to play.

Do you realize how absolutely ignorant you sound when you post things like this as an answer to your original bullsh** statement ?

Weeks 3-4-6-7-8 what Ohio teams could we have played but chose to play OOS instead ?

Don’t give us this ignorant every team in D4 etc garbage because playing them was never going to be an option from us or them.
I want the names of teams that had called us and wanted to play for any of weeks 3-4-6-7-8 and we declined because we wanted to play an OOS.
You won’t answer because you don’t have the answer so time to move on so you can whine about something else.

At this point I am employing the ignore feature and will check back in a week or so to see if this dead horse is still getting beat to death.

Yep we sure did, paid for by Nike and again that trip had little to do with playing a hs football game.
It’s a shame your unemotional autism like mind can’t understand that. But with the way you post on here we all understand.

Right we did because there wasn’t any Ohio teams that week that wanted their kids to experience it.

We can do this forever you can believe whatever you want but all you have to do is call the athletic office and talk to Nate or Brian.

You put no conditions on it, save schools that we chose not to play. One might think it's safe to assume that we choose not to play a team from the lower three divisions. As such, the answer would seem to address the question directly. You don't like the answer? Ask a better question.

Just out of curiosity, what division is Glenville in?

You might also note that Moeller played at Ironton a couple of years ago. It weren't no blowout. Maybe some of those lower division teams aren't as far below us as you think. After all, we did just lose to Big Walnut. That sure as hell doesn't scream "Superpower!" to anyone.

Teams that called us? So, it's no longer incumbent upon us to fill our schedule; we leave that to other schools to initiate contact? Then WTF does the athletic department do in the off-season? Let's make this easy: there were 192 playoff teams in the upper three divisions. If we call them all, that breaks down to about three calls a day from the end of the season through February. Is that too strenuous of a workload?

C'mon dude. You're close to the program ( :ROFLMAO: ). How about you give us the list of Ohio teams we called about filling our open dates? Then give us the reason that each of those entreaties did not result in a game. I predict crickets...

Blah blah blah, a lot of time spent to say nothing as in not backing up your statement.
Time to move on….

Projection, anyone? You promised to provide a list of teams we contacted who turned us down. You haven't. Some might term that a lie. Others might think it's a telling indictment of your lack of knowledge and suspect character. No matter; it's well established that you're FOS either way.

No sense in arguing with ignorance, he doesn’t believe anyone can be close to the program. 🤦🏻‍♂️
But we sure know for a fact he isn’t.

If you're "close to the program" (bootlicker) like you try to portray and you're running around threatening people, I think our out of control penalty problem is the least of our problems.

I never claimed to be close to the program.

Yes, we know, you've made that abundantly clear over and over. First of all why does it have to be a 4 win team? Schedule better than that....after all, bas2ically EVERYONE makes the playoffs, right?

Happy to have Moore here, hope he stays a while....the NFL Academy game was still a hot steamy pile of crap.

You mean how we choose to play OOS teams over teams in Ohio, one of the dumbest things you have ever said.

GlenOak has four open dates this year (1, 2, 3 and 9) and every year, if they were approached to moving the Massillon game to another week so you could have week 2 to fill with an Ohio opponent they may say yes to that. Before you type Harding is your week 9 game, that could be moved for them also if it benefits both sides. Who knows, maybe GlenOak and Harding won't renew with the Tigers, then what?

Ok....since you're not a man of your word, let's try it this way. I'll name a school and you tell me if we contacted them, what their response was and what the terms of a potential contract were, I'll start of slow and easy.

Cincinnati Moeller.

Were they contacted?

What was their reply?

What were the terms of the deal?

Let's try it this way since, again....you're not a man of your word.
