Who will Ridge lose 2 in the 1st Rd of the Playoffs?

Wow!! You are relentless Gunner.

lefteye, what kind of person would people think of me as if i changed my views and showed compassion for ridge? id lose the reputation that i have struggled so hard to achieve. besides, im the guy you love to hate, and me not bashing ridge would change all of that.

ok...for everyone's knowledge...do you know who (for the most part) reads the posts here on bleachercoaches? students and players...does anyone know who decides what conference the school is in? oh, that's right, the people that never read any of this crap on here. Basically you are bashing a group of kids that can't control what's going on, all they can do is go out on the field and play who they're scheduled to play... so just stop, also, it's only the first week...who's to say the Lions won't do well...who's to say that Bedford (where i'm assuming the creater of this thread is from...always are from bedford when it's bashing ridge) will win their first game of the playoffs, of course that's assuming they get in the playoffs...they are 0-1 now aren't they?

personally i think this thread in general is ridiculous, mainly because it was only made to cause a comotion.

Good point Count.

It wasnt a CR person asking about the playoffs.

Just some lowlife degenerate that gets pleasure from putting others down.


Grow up.

5 wins in the LHAC will get you into the playoff's on points alone, 5 wins in the ICC will get you a 10th game at home vs. Johnstown Vo Tech.

I agree this thread is rediculous, but Ridge did jump ship after being beat up continually in the LHAC year after year. And I bet the Student-Athlete had some say in that decision.

I really don't think that the administration asked the students who they would like to play. You make a valid point about the change in confrence, I won't argue that with you. THe ICC is obviously a weaker confrence then the LHAC, but when you go 0-10 or 1-9 every year you need to do something to turn the program in a positive direction, and that happened to be playing teams that you have a chance to compete with.

Just as a side note, since most of the Ridge bashing comes from the Bedford faithful: Didn't Bedford lose in the first round of the playoffs last year after going 9-0? How many playoff wins does bedford have in the last decade? (That is an honest question, I really don't know)

[count2infinity]

that's not a real valid argument. you can't take away from what the bisons have done in the LHAC. It's a tough conference and obviously a lot better than the ICC; however you cannot say that the students helped in deciding what conference to play in. That's a decision from administration and the AD.

To officially correct some of the posting on here. Ridge has won one playoff game. In 1995 Ridge beat Everett 18-0. It is in today's paper written by Coach Creps and I don't think anyone wants to dispute his knowledge of local football history. I know I certainly won't.

There really wasn't a playoff system until the early 1990's before that the top two teams played each other for the district championship. Ridge has made it to several title games but never won. Lost to Bedford twice 1988 and 1991. Lost to Meyersdale in 1990. Also they lost to a real tough Juniata Valley team in the ICC championship in 1987.

Ham, the students did not have any say in the decision to leave the LHAC.

The fact is the decision was driven by the current head football coach, supported by the AD and the administration, and sealed by the school board.

A public meeting was held allowing the public to vocally express their feelings on the issue. It was a packed room and the overwhelming sentiment from the group was to remain in the LHAC. That was the position that I personally held at the time. I expressed it at the time and still beleive that it was the correct decision at the time. Meaning that CR should have stayed in the LHAC.

However, the leadership of CR did not want to make the commitment necessary to do what would be required to compete at that level. The "easier" less complicated route was chosen. The decision makers have yet to prove that they did the right thing.

So quit smacking around the student athletes. They are doing the best they can with what they are given.

I can respect the fact that you think CR should have stayed in the LHAC. I am intrested to hear what "commitment you think wold be necessary to compete at that level." More money, more coaches? Also, what kind of proof do you want that CR did the right thing? (I hope this isn't coming off as sarcasm, because it isn't I am really interested in your thoughts. You seem like a faithful CR supporter)
