oh pat....i have made many posts in the past.  not as much as some of the others...but enough to make a name.

[Pat Coleman]

I wasn't aware that excludes you from being required to read.

[bcsportswriter]

he said to ask the players who have gone up against these guys and then said his opinion. that leads me to believe that he is saying he went up against these guys.  thats all Pat.....no worries. i am sorry i hit the CU button on your controller

[bcsportswriter]

i read Pat.  i have read them all

[Pat Coleman]

As an ex player(last year in 01)who's seen alot of tape and a few games in person I would have to say that out of the guys I've seen play Ricca and Bublavi are the best of the bunch.

That's clear as day, BCS. If you bothered to read before you responded you'd have figured it out.

You may have a better future as a pundit than a journalist. At least pundits don't seem to be bound by facts.

[bcsportswriter]

pat, u picked out one sentence, i picked out the other.  that just makes you biased as well as I.  Both sentences had meaning, and i took the first one to have the most.  thats it.

[Pat Coleman]

Bull.

The first one says you should ask players.

The second one, if you had read it, says he is giving his opinion as an ex-player.

[bcsportswriter]

oh Pat, i took that to mean him.  i know he didnt, but no harm.  thats how i took it.   its alright now.

[Llamaguy]

After reading this morning and seeing the Fantasy Football thread, is it me or is Pat a "Control Freak"? Just an observation.

[new_era]

Then again, bcsportswriter, he never said he played against those players either, did he? Why are you taking him to task for something he didn't say?

catch up before you make your first post

Well now, isn't that the pot calling the kettle black?

those in black houses should never throw pots

E&H fans don't forget that Marietta is in the OAC, along with MT. Union. The OAC schools get a lot of good  players from OSU,OU,Kent State and other Division 1 and 1AA schools that could not make it for one reason or another. Marietta has come from 0-10 two years ago to 6-4 last year. E&H will have its hands full this week, but Marietta is BEATABLE if we put it all together. The OAC is slighty ahead of the ODAC with their programs and a win would make a statement that E&H is for real this year and that  the ODAC has more than a couple of good teams,i.e. Bridgewater and HSC. PEACE I am the E&H Dad.

agree with the comment on OAC... the Ohio draw is undeniably an advantage... the rosters from those teams are almost exclusively from Ohio high schools which are arguably among the top in the nation as far as football power states.... the tough aspect is that more football programs are sprouting in VA which dilutes the available talent from schools that largely have a regional draw... could argue that CNU addition took away talent from E&H

eh dad,
Marietta was not 0-10 two years ago, I know 2-8 is not much better, but it wasn't 0-10.  As for the OAC pulling players from from D1 schools, that is not true at all.  You will get an occasional transfer, but it is not very common.  Also, the talent pool for the OAC expands beyond OH.  Alot of the OAC schools pull in numerous players from western PA, which is as good as OH, and from other locations in the surrounding states.  The reason the bulk of the players are from OH is the colleges are all located in OH.  I would be willing to bet most of the players on ODAC rosters are from VA and the surrounding states.  With that said, I wish E&H luck this weekend and hope to see a very good game.  Any insight or predictions?

Llama,

I guess I do have a problem with people who don't listen ... or read.
