Whooooa there, Pride. Is the heat getting to ya. :confused: It will be closer than that. :eek:

[allworld]

If the Garfield D can contain Yoak (100yards or less) they can win this game.

Go City!!!!

[redscare]

Theres a reason the roles are reversed. The Hoban boys made themselves known by beating on those big-named rams. Things arent going to change either. A hoban line dominated garfields defense last year and this years line looks to be much better. Now with an experienced backfield and a big WR threat in DJ, who the rams should know quite well, looks to give the rams a long night. As for the defense, no need to talk about that. This is a defense that held Big Chris Wells to 1 td in 3 games.
Some names may have changed on the defensive side for hoban but the quality of the defense has not. This d reloaded.

[GRPride86]

Does Dario(sp) come back this year at middle linebacker? Kid is a beast!!!!!!

[Southsideram]

I can't believe I'm writing this but, here it goes:

Hoban by 3 TD's
Don't feel bad, I had four TD's:mad:

[feartheknight]

Yes Dario is back- bigger and faster

[MOUNT-UNION82]

Yes Dario is back- bigger and faster

That's a sobering thought.....ouch!

[RamTough]

This guy Dario in my opinion is a throwback type player...he reminds me of some former Ram standouts at Linebacker...Sean James...Shane Johnson...Dave Whiddon...he will flat out knock your head off and hand it to your family with a sadistic laugh and blood dripping from his fangs :eek:

Just watching him on junior film he reminds me of that...If the kid has progressed like you expect going from your junior to senior year........ :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: !!!!!!!!!!

STRAP IT ON BOYS!!!!!!!! I would hate to be the fullback that has to block him on ISO----> :wallbang: :wallbang: :wallbang: !!!!!!!!

Good Luck to both teams and to both Coach Orsini and Coach Sax...two very classy coaches!!!!

[The Total Package]

1. Don't say big names from last year. There was only 1.
2. From what I've heard on here, there is a lot of inexperience on the Rams part. They'll be some nerves in these guys and If they fall behind early, it could be a long night. But than again, people thought Hoban was gonna get smoked. And the OFFICIATING will always be a factor. Hopefully Hoban won't serve up any spaghetti dinners or have difficulties with the sprinklers.

1 2 3 4 Final Score
--------------------------------------------------
Garfield 0 6 7 7 20
Hoban 7 7 0 0 14

The first half I feel that Hoban will dominate on defense and move the ball well on offense. One long run will keep the Rams in the game, at half. The second half I think that the Rams will lock it down on defense and come up with some untimely turnovers by Hoban. The Rams will do just enough to get a lead late in the game. That's how I think it goes down on August 24.

Hoban won't have anyone to really key on and I think Garfields defense has improved from last years.

[MasonComet]

I've been keeping my eyes out a little bit looking for a Hoban thread to get a little info (Hoban visiting Mason Saturday, 9/23). Looks like a well-balanced, quality team.

[redscare]

Maybe we should stop blaming the refs and condition the team for once. That defense was sucking air in the 2nd quarter last year. I think we found the problem with garfield...they blame everything else but ignore the real problems.

[GRPride86]

The Rams will peterout in the second half because of a lack of conditioning that has been their trademark for the past several years.

Rams will be big but in no way will they be in football shape by the 24th.

At the Half:
Rams 7
Knights 14

Final:
Rams 7
Knights 28

Yoak will be held to about 40 yards in the first half but punish the Rams in the second and will finish with 140.

I don't think that Dario is a throwback linebacker, he has size, super speed, and football smarts and I think he gets up every morning saying that he's going to hurt somebody today. Back in the day, most of those guys didn't have the total package. This guy is that guy. He could be the best LB in the county. If you have never seen this guy play, it's a must. This guy is a major DI prospect to a "Linebacker" school, like OSU, Penn State or Miami.

80% of the starting Hoban team have trained for speed and strength at HIT (High Intensity Training) in Green since football season was over last year. They are in top condition.
Quite a few of the seniors were at several College camps this summer. I know they will be a force to reckon with.
By the way, Dario is really a quiet, nice kid - he just loves to get to the ball-
If you are in his way- he'll probably let you know it!

[GRPride86]

I've been to HIT to check out that facility, I've also got the DVD they hand out. It is very impressive and is the future of youth sports.

From the ages of 11 to 18 this will be a must if you want to go to the next level.

So, who do the Rams play in week 2?

Rob Hinton is the owner 330 896 2200. Dario has worked with him for over 2 years. Yoak worked with him this past year and he is lean and fast!

[redscare]

My onhly worry was that the hoban team wouldn't take this garfield team as seriously as they did in years past. I am wrong. They break everything down with a KILL GARFIELD and have a new clock counting down the days till gameday. You can see it in their eyes, they want this.

[North Viking]

Not another "kill chant". That is bad karma, just ask Buchtel.

[RamTough]

GRPride86,

I'm confused...are you saying Dario is...or is not a throwback? As for those Ram Linebackers in the past not having the total package...I would have to agree about Shane Johnson because of his size...but Sean James and Dave Whiddon both had size and speed and were everything you expected a LB to be. I guess my reason for calling those guys throwbacks in not because of their physical numbers, but rather their attitude and the way they played the game....fast, furious, and ferocious!!!! I see those qualities in Dario!!!

[GRPride86]

Attitude wise I would say that he is a throwback, but I played with one of those guys you mentioned, Whiddon, and I like Dave a lot, but todays training and skill level is beyond what we had back then. Those guys had great raw talent. Dario is way beyond raw talent.

Dario is better than Chris Spelman was at this point in his football career.

Also, you forgot to mention Carlos Clipper and Mike Eritano as great throwbacks. But again not the total package.

[RamTough]

No question athletes are better these days...I thought Dave was a great player and had the attitude to play the position (at the time)...I think part of that had to do with the fact it was instilled in him by his "position coach" at the time...

As far as comparing Dario to Thee Chris Spielman....I can't do that and I do not feel that Dario was, is, or will be better than Spielman as a senior. The best LB is the Canton/Akron are is the Tabron kid going to McKinley and he isn't as good as Spielman was. Plus, I think it is unfair to compare the two. That's just my opinion and I stand by it.

[RamTough]

Interesting comparisons...numbers don't mean much to me simply because both played in very different defenses. Hoban runs the 3-5-3 Stack where there is always a 4th rusher coming...which in turn (if it's Dario) gives him more opportunities to make TFL's and sacks. Canton Central Catholic on the other hand usually is a little more conservative and plays a good amount of base.

Besides, didn't Hoban play 13 games last year and CCC didn't even make the playoffs...so of course Dario's numbers will be higher. I am simply going off of what I have seen on tape from their junior year. In my opinion it is #1 Tabron / #2 Dario...Either way both are OUTSTANDING football players and will be recognized this season by many!!!!

[Take It 2 Tha Bank]

Okay, so they are both good LBs. Does Garfield have a chance to win in week 2 at least?

[KnightTrain]

Im not certain but i believe CCC lost in round 3? to cardinal mooney

#2 is right i played in a game vs. hoban and the OFFICIATING was out of control.
now on the other hand after talking to many of the young rams over 1/2 of them say that they cant win (that no way to talk kids)...Sax will have the young Offensive plane in place and i would like to think the boys will be ready to go... but my ? is will the Young D be ready with out DC there.

my pick HOBAN...................................Looses by 6 or less....LOOK OUT:blush:

[CCHS09]

Im not certain but i believe CCC lost in round 3? to cardinal mooney
CENTRAL DID MAKE PLAYOFFS LAST YEAR AND I DO BELIEVE YOU ARE CORRECT IT WAS MOONEY AND I THINK IT WAS 3 ROUND.

[GRPride86]

What is the Young Offensive Plane that Sax is working on?

Are they going to fly over Hoban's defense to score? I'm confussed.

Is this the start of Air Sax?:shrug:

[akroninsider]

Well GRPride86 i guess there is no plan in place or being worked on... I real hope Sax has not went as far as thinking his young team cant win also "so why put in a game plan". if thats the case sorry young man dont even show up on 8-24 your coach dont have a plan for you. sorry grpride some of us need to get on say what we got to say and get off. SOME PEOPLE DO HAVE A LIFE and dont have time to sit here and look over ever thing and use spell check. and some might type faster than 5 wpm so yeah some areas will be made even people who make the big bucks to type books and news papers do make mistakes for them and lil old me sorry. as far a "Oral Sax" grpride might know a thing or two bout that he's had enough practice with all of his bf's.

[GRPride86]

I'm not going to get into a pi--ing match with you akroninsider, because you would be the only one getting wet. But your post shows how little you know about the history of football. The comment about "Air Sax" was a reference to the San Diego Chargers offense when Dan Fouts was quarterback in the early 1980's. It wasn't a slam on Bobby Sax or his game "Plane" as you call it. It's one thing to misspell words, it's another to just down right use the wrong ones.

And then Lord Forbid if Tha Bank makes a funny about the "Air Sax" comment.

Your right about one thing though, "Some People Do Have A Life" and it sounds like everybody elses is better than yours.

[Take It 2 Tha Bank]

2 points to GRPride for a takedown!!!

ONE!.......................TWO!...............THRE E!!!!! MATCH!!!!!!!!

[GRPride86]

Shoot, I was going for a rear naked choke hold and a tap out.

Oh, well maybe next time.

[knightman]

Yes Hoban will have some talent return butwill be stopped in the playoffs again because their coach is just ok with making it, he has no intentions of changing things to win it. he hasn't a clue. review the game against tallmadge last year, they had NO offensive strategy. if you think I am joking ask the seniors. the players will give their all but their coach is a dumb as a box of rocks..been that way for sometime now.

[bedevil]

as far as Sax is concerned someone should pin a medal on him for trying to teach the unteachable. maybe if they would become students in the classroom and students of the game they might be able to compete with the prochial schools, but as long as rap music is blarring out the car windows, you know not too much is going on upstairs. Hoban 31 Garfield 6

Well, that post ranks right up there with one of the most racist comments I've ever seen on this board. Congratulations, knightman, you've represented YOUR school very well by advancing this blatantly bigoted viewpoint. I'm confident that the vast majority of Hoban students and supporters don't share your opinion and your penchant for stereotyping.

By the way, you might want to pay a little more attention in the classroom, as well. Your post has its share of grammatical errors and misspellings. Kind of ironic isn't it, since you are so eager to question the academic acumen of others?
