2022 Freedom Bowl at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium, August 26-27
- Thread starter Redhawk85
- Start date
You never know, the Jersey Flyer guy is the booking agent. They might need a team to play Friday and Saturday. Or maybe we'll see the debut of Flyght Academy Prep football.

Would you care to elaborate on this event and give some internet references. I googled this event and found next to nothing about it.
I suppose a big announcement will happen as soon as the teams are finalized. They might still be seeking teams to participate.

It can't be a bad thing giving players a chance to play a non-league game in an NFL-type stadium.

Mentor and St Ignatius play each other in week 2. I think that should be a week 4 or 5 matchup to open us up for stuff like this, but it isn't

Is that directly related to Bishop Sycamore?
No connection. It's a new post-grad club team in Dayton.

You’re not going to want to put Mentor in any kind of a show case for the next few years. They are wayyyyyyyyyyy down in talent and are going to struggle to win. Likely more seasons like this past one on the horizon.

Yes we know you like to troll a lot of programs on here while knowing nothing about them . You don't know anything about Mentor
I'll take any game we can get. For being so down after one bad year, there are sure a lot of programs still avoiding scheduling us...still can't fill week 5 after many programs avoiding us. Had to schedule Clarkson from Canada in week 4 for the same reason after north Allegheny backed out of an agreement
Mentor doesn't shy away from scheduling up. Losing to a better program at times helps you grow. No point in scheduling teams you'll kill. That's what the chicken bleep schools who avoid us do.
This year revolved mostly around injuries btw. If Mentor stays healthy in 2021, they likely go 8-2 or at worst 7-3. Lost to solon by 3 with many backups in, Brunswick by 2 on a miracle hail Mary again with backups and north Allegheny by 4 with a freshman QB making his first start

Mentor will be just fine. They have an excellent program, exemplary in their entire organization, especially in the early years. If more schools followed the Mentor model, we wouldn't be hearing so much whining about how unfair the public/private differential is. Mentor takes on and beats the private schools. For that, they have earned and deserve all the kudos in the world. I'm a fan.

This is a Spire Group event. Heard Massillon Perry and Chardon are 2 Ohio teams playing in this 4 or 5 game Classic. Also St. Francis Maryland and East St. Louis. Others to be rumored are Milton Georgia, Christian Brothers Mo., Clarkson North from Canada and Camden NJ. Maybe a Marque game Friday night with 2 Ohio Powers. Hopefully we will here the official schedule soon.
What is the "Spire Group"?
Could be one of these. Probably the first one although, these days, one never knows.
