I'm gonna throw my 2 cents in here being a lifetime Tiger fan, but first a little back story. My Dad was a lifelong Tiger fan, only missing 5 games since 1965, until ALS took his away his ability to go, and ultimately took his life this past January. In that time frame he attended over 615 Varsity games, myself attending over half of them with him. That total doesnt include practices, scrimmages and the underclassmen games he attended as well. When I was a young child before the computer generated points, I spent my Saturday mornings looking up scores in the AP results in the paper while my Dad did the computer points by hand. I spent a lifetime going to all the games with him, all the special memories of decades of away games, to Altoona, Indiana, Cincinnati and all the other great cities the Tigers have played. All of our special Beat McKinley breakfasts we had as a family, always playing the 1974 vinyl record of Bill Caples and the Eddie George pass. My family has lived and breathed Tiger football since 1965. It's part of us, and we have a lifetime of memories to share and remember my Dad and all that he experienced. That's what it means to be a Tiger. I will continue my Dad's lifelong passion and continue to be a fan , forever and always. To all the naysayers out there saying Massillon blah blah can't win, blah. Massillon has by far been the most successful team in the county the last 5 years, and the D2 teams that have won the title in many of those years would have won the D1 title as well, it hasn't been an easy route to the championship. For the Tigers to win on Friday they need to be able to throw the ball, eliminate unnecessary penalties, and contain Sperling, and last but not least, believe in themselves. This is the best defensive line and linebackers we've had in awhile, and the offense is capable of mixing it up and making plays. Massillon Always...TIG!
