Reaction to Massillon Getting to Play at Home for a Title

[Sykotyk]

Does not matter what anyone hear thinks. If Massillon wins it will forever be tainted. Say what you want, it’s going to happen and someone will always bring it up.

That was going to happen no matter how Massillon wins their first playoffs era title.

The people gleefully saying things like "paper Tigers" and other insults about Massillon don't care WHAT they can use to put down Massillon with, they'll always find something to use. After a title, they'll say they've only won one. Or there was a penalty that was or wasn't called. Or that they should've won more and therefore they still are horrible.

No. Matter. What. Happens.

It's quite comical looking on from the outside the sheer hatred some have for Massillon. And a victory won't change that. Nor will a loss.

If Hoban is as loaded as everybody says and thinks then it doesn’t matter. I’ve heard all week Hoban is going to win this game easily so we’ll see. I just find it funny how all The Massillon haters are out all week and would rather see Hoban win..a school that was totally irrelevant 10-12 years ago until they started recruiting kids from all over northeast Ohio ??

? hilarious.

...a school that was totally irrelevant 10-12 years ago until they started recruiting kids...

I'd say any team that qualified for the playoffs 8-straight seasons from '98-'05 and, in that stretch, won at least one playoff game in all but one season and was a semi-finalist once has been relevant for quite some time.

recruiting from other counties? ? Who has more recruits on the roster in this matchup?

Hoban, and there's no way it's close. Massillon does get a few and everyone knows it, but it doesn't compare to private schools.

Thank you Bulldog

 

[LELL]

If Hoban is that good and better then everyone else like most ppl on Yappi have said, then it really shouldn’t matter. Home, Away, Neutral.

There’re pounding them right now.

It is only fitting that Massillon stepped up to the plate and saved the 2020 OHSAA State Championship games.

Thank You Massillon

They saved nothing. The games wouldve been played.

 

[Bball216]

You could play this game anywhere and Hoban would stomp the Tigers. Another year with no EARNED title.

Something they learned from Massillon

 

[my2sense]

Refs seem to be a bigger factor right now than any home field advantage.

Something they learned from Massillon

North Canton girls softball wrote the book, after they learned from Hertler, who had a two time Mr. Football live in his basement.

??????????

 

[Viking33]

Tigers still can't get it done even on their HOMEFIELD???????? cough, cough, choke, choke????????

 

[Viking33]

That was a butt whooping right there

 

[JohnDoss]

Again--we played and BEAT Hoban at Infocision last year. Infocision is quite literally down the street from Hoban's field (which only holds 2500 at full capacity).

You can imagine all you want--we played what amounted to as close as any team could have for a "home" game within driving distance of Massillon in the regional finals against Hoban last year.

If they decided to play it at Infocision this year I'm sure there would be no outcry from anyone in Massillon.

The fact remains that Massillon got the games because we stepped up to the logistical challenge of hosting 6 football games in 3 days on 1 day's notice.

WHY IS IT HOME FIELD? There will be 1500 people total there. I swear sometimes I think you guys have lost your dang minds.

I hear nothing but crickets in Massillon.

 

[Egret]

You're on the wrong thread, dip-s**t. I've been posting all night. Now, go back to the frier and shut up.

 

[Cannoli137]

Wow , that was a straight up butt kicking.

And when was your school last relevant?

 

[my2sense]

Hoban dominates at PBTS. Did not expect this.

 

[Stirred not Shaken]

Maybe Massillon should try D - 3 next.

 

[Viking33]

Typical Massillon fan response???????

They still wouldn't win a championship

I went to and played for Ignatius.

Now what? But I am a fan of Massillon

 

[Maple_City_Fan]

Call the Tigers the Possums. Tonight, they played like dead at home. I guess it was better than getting killed on the road.

 

[Starkcountylegend]

Didn't matter, they got every break in the books this year, one away game, and the state title at home. They were utterly beat like a drum, it looked like Rutgers and Ohio State, totally dominated and out coached.

Good for you. So your team, along with all the parochial schools and Massillon have the recruiting advantage in football.

 

[SMARTY22]

Wow , that was a straight up butt kicking.

Sure was!! That last TD Pass was awesome!

 

[arizonawildcat]

As I said on another thread, this game could have been played in Moore's backyard with Becca being the head ref, and it would't have made any difference. Hoban was just that good.
