So giving up 20 points in the 2nd half of a game after they were already up & won by 24 is "regression"?They gave up 20 to Northwestern in the 2nd half. Rittman also outgained the Smithies without Sonego for 3 quarters and Smith for the 4th (who was also averaging 6 ypc) I don’t expect perfection, just a couple positives here and there. Also don’t need Norwayne to score to know it already is. But yeah, keep thinking what you want
When you can’t stop a 1 win team from moving the ball up and down the field, absolutely! Watch the game and tell me otherwise!
And there it is. Team is on track have the 2nd best season since Schrock's departure and it's not good enough.We can do well against the bottom feeders but that means little in the end. Some people are okay being the best of the worst I guess
It’s like praising Windham and claiming they’re a good team. Anyone who know football knows it’s a product of the schedule! You can post about games you haven’t seen and only look at the final but it doesn’t show you the entire story.. You’re missing a lot of pages
3 exclamations points in 5 sentences. If only the team played as hard as you typed.
It just means more!!!!!
By some people, I think you mean just you and the other guy, because I can promise you, nobody cares that much. Although it’s a fun and competitive league, one of the best in Ohio, I can promise it’s not that serious lol.When you can’t stop a 1 win team from moving the ball up and down the field, absolutely!

Where did I not? You like to pop off a lot with dumb comments. Rittman was a good team last year. Unfortunately they had a few players leave the program... Then lost the 2 best players in the Smithville game… which they still only trailed by 8 points in the 4th. Again, where is the disrespect I showed?
I won’t be at all! Outside of Kirtland and Dalton, that region has no one. This Smithville team finishes 5-5 if they play the same teams they did last year. Lucas would roll them and Rittman would win as well. Still haven’t beaten a team with a winning record. Still few positives outside of Haines looking really good! Lines are still bad.. Secondary is bad.. We can do well against the bottom feeders but that means little in the end. Some people are okay being the best of the worst I guess
As soon as you said “Smithies are a well coached football team” you lost all credit to speak about any truthsBy some people, I think you mean just you and the other guy, because I can promise you, nobody cares that much.

Also, thanks for reminding me why over the years I can really only bear to look at this thread once or twice during a season. It’s just so cringe worthy to read. Just a bunch of know it all, no coaching experience, haven’t stepped on a field since high school, and “my son played in 2016,” fans lol.
Enjoy another nice WCAL Friday y’all
I'd trust him on this one, folks. He's an expert in the field of "nothing of value".
Don't be a stranger. This thread could use all the positive contributions it can get.

Sorry, didn't realize we were grading "come backs". Thought we were taking football and I have an unwritten rule that when someone exceeds the ration of 50% exclamation point per sentence it's probably time to back off.Says the man who could only point out “exclamation points” as a come back post
lol I feel attacked man !By some people, I think you mean just you and the other guy, because I can promise you, nobody cares that much. Although it’s a fun and competitive league, one of the best in Ohio, I can promise it’s not that serious lol.

We were up until the end, I was having a great time and then you go the “I give up, let’s try to post something funny because I don’t have any factual comebacks that would make any logical sense” route.. That excitement is why all the !!!!! came out of the woodworks. But now it’s ruined and will never be like it was

I did coach but keep throwing around cute little quotes. Someone might care about your 2 posts that have brought nothing of value
My bad. I'll try again. Here's a combo of facts & funny for ya ->We were up until the end, I was having a great time and then you go the “I give up, let’s try to post something funny because I don’t have any factual comebacks that would make any logical sense” route..

Thank you!! Let me know when they beat a team with a winning record!!!!! #0-16My bad. I'll try again. Here's a combo of facts & funny for ya ->
Smithville is on track for their most successful season in the last 10 years and you're grumpier than a kid who only got non-superhero underwear for Christmas.
Rittman had a winning record if that counts
Sadly that’s all we have to help us through this difficult time… HadRittman had a winning record if that counts
Hey norwayne went through that for 70 years don’t feel to badSadly that’s all we have to help us through this difficult time… Had
I remember a good bit of those! Smithies went 28 years (if I remember correctly) without a loss to the Bobcats! Those “Real men wear Green” days. The 2002 game about gave me a heart attack! You could just tell Norwayne was on the rise! It’s been a rough one for the Smithies since 2006 though..Hey norwayne went through that for 70 years don’t feel to bad
That's why I'm struggling to see why you're so down on this year's team. They're not going to the regional finals, but if you can't appreciate a winning season after the last 20 years . . . that's a you problem.
I remember being in elementary school and norwayne couldn’t stand smithville when I was young because of that . lol . We could never win haha .
WATCH THE GAMES! Like I’ve said before, you can’t just base it off the final record. Smithville will most likely only face 3 teams in the regular season with a winning record. For a team returning the amount of talent Smithville did, you should see a lot of improvement.. Yet they are extremely lucky to have half the wins they do.
I’m sure that State title and recent domination makes up for all those years
I’m definitely with @Oldsmithie & @Raylan_Givens take on the Smithies, but I get the technical breakdown of what you’re seeing here…
I see what you did to those Bombers
I never said YOU couldn’t. I said I was tired of hearing about the Wing T and the coaching staff from anvil… The distinction shouldn’t have been that subtle, but you might have caught a few strays at that time. I was firing into a dark room at that point.I see what you did to those Bombers
It should be better, without a doubt. You have a team with one of the best backs in the league, an oline that returned every starter (some 3 year guys). All 4 linebackers with arguably the best LB (Leach) in the WCAL and multiple players on both the dline and secondary.. Yet you’re seeing them struggle with Claymont and Waynedale. At that point, you know you have the talent so it has to be something else right??
Smithville and Dalton fans agree our Dline basically just plays patty cake (Dalton fan quote)
Multiple Smithville fans pointed out that we need a new Oline / strength and conditioning coach.. (After Dalton completely shut Smithville down)
Secondary is bad.. Yet we can’t talk badly about the coaching staff when other fans are POINTING OUT how badly coached they are
