[*67]

I always assume he was from Minster

i wish i had that minster money

Don't we all ahaha.

Grandpa always said the only thing bigger than the house's in Minster was the amount of debt they took out to pay for them.

 

[bigkat]

I honestly feel bad for Minster.

They were considerably better than every D-VII team in the state except for Marion - yet didn't even get to be regional champs.

Not the end of the world, of course, but the Cats were state champ material outside of only one school that fielded a once-in-a-half-century team.

have the same feeling for the 2019 Minster team, with Anna....

Congrats to the marion local maria Stein Flyers... what a fricken team!!!

Minster says hello

Yeah that’s the only other team in the division that did not and would not have been clocked by ML

 

[tucson]

How’s ML’s basketball team?

Always getting a late start, but they seem pretty good too. They won (or shared) the MAC boys basketball title two of the past three years. State Champs in 2018. Gotta believe with all the seniors and athleticism on their football team that some of that might carry over to the hardwood.

Take a drive around Mercer county... the Steiners, St Henry...have some BIG homes there are some BIG debt things going on there too..... LOL!!!

My Volleyball friends from St. Henry say the same thing. Top 4 teams in the State. 1 Coldwater. 2 St. Henry 3 New Bremen. 4 Marion Local. All in the same Districts. It's an absolute bloodbath to get out of Districts and into Regionals and eventually to State. Coldwater wins it all but the talk is why is the Toughest games that these 4 teams have to play is in District and not at State? The 2 teams Coldwater played at State this year would get rolled by these other MAC schools. Press Pros Magazine touched on this earlier. The other parts of the State are absolutely no match for the MAC in volleyball and it's not even close. So St. Henry gets knocked out in Districts while being undoubtedly the 2nd best team in State. Will they change this up? I wouldn't count on it.

ml should have been forced to play in only helmets, t-shirts, and shorts while hillsdale got to wear their full pads and uniforms. let's see how tough they really are.

kinda weak...... pound a couple more Zima's...

I know I know I kid. Pretty sure the only town Grandpa disliked more than Minster was St. Henry.

 

[RollingTrain]

marion local should have been forced to tell hillsdale what plays they were running and then give them 30 seconds to decide how they wanted to defend it. anything else is just rubbing it in their faces.

They still wouldn’t have stopped it. The physical difference in this game was incredible.

 

[bigkat]

nope , i can't remember when he ever said a good thing about Minster.... probably got turned down for Prom back in the day from one our Track girls....

When i saw that Goodwin say , that they are a very young team and thought Hillsdale would be good in the coming years... and this was before the game

 

[RollingTrain]

I go back to the delusional OH Report announcers while watching the Danville/Beaver regional final….thought Danville could be the team to finally take ML down. It’s just unbelievable people think like that. Mind blowing actually. With all of the film available on YouTube, HUDLfan, etc…do people not watch or are they really that stupid?

 

[SLWT]

I was wondering the same this about that call. JV's were in but they threw it. I've known Goodwin to not have poor sportsmanship but that one did make me raise an eyebrow.

Freshman QB Soph WR get them started on next year(5 yard completion)

One thing to consider: you can watch through a screen, but if you have no understanding how good Minster, Coldwater, St. Henry, New Bremen etc is then you don’t have a frame of reference for just how good the ML product is.

The other component is you have to know the game of football in the process. Interestingly enough, many in the media do not! From schematics, to techniques, to details, those are all things that don’t cross a media member’s mind that is entrenched instead on W-L’s, Harbins, poll rankings etc. Not having a goldfish memory is also helpful (knowing recent history, comparison of regions etc.)

There’s a lot of blissful unawareness in our society, and in our media. If more outlets were willing to state the truth, no matter how unpopular it may be (a la Press Pros) we’d possibly have more informed people and better informed community groundswells for football programs statewide.

The financial advisers will tell you, when looking to find a wealthy client in Minster, don't look at the big new houses. Look at the one story houses in the middle of town that are 60 years old. That's where the cash is.

Grandpa was half right.

 

[BigPSH]

Grandpa was half right.

Grandpa was a Steiner through and through. Would come to one game a year (against Marion) and wear his Blue and Yellow. I don't think he was a big fan of my parents moving to SH haha.

I think I know who your Grandpa was, a great guy.

Great guy, grumpy guy lol.

There will come a day when a team will do this to ML. Probably not anytime soon, but remember when DSJ was really good and won a title 77-0?

Yeah, that won’t happen

Happened in 96 or 97. DSJ beat ML 67 - 9 I believe. DSJ I think had over 700 yds. of offense that day. Before Goodwin ML football was struggling.

Edit: Happened in 98, year before Goodwin became HC.

You should have seen their reactions all day long in the booth next to me to the entire game as it was unfolding during their broadcast.

 

[Thavoice]

2025 will likely be a down year for the MAC. maybe you could clue me in on how down it will be

Zero titles.

I listened to the re-broadcast too earlier to listen. Wow… We’re their reactions like disbelief?

 

[The Dock]

Zero titles.

zero regional titles. book it!

 

[RBS]

I think we can all agree....football is our bread and butter and the other sports are sorta OK good.


But....this is our last hoorah as the MAC as a whole will be way, way, way, way down next year and the Steiners are our best and last hope at a football title.

LOL

Not the end of the world, of course, but the Cats were state champ material outside of only one school that fielded a once-in-a-half-century team.

I agree completely

Maybe,but not while Goodwin is there.
