Within hours of the Epstein file release, a superPAC funded by Israel-first billionaires Miriam Adelson, Paul Singer, and John Paulson, who himself appears in Epstein’s black book, bought another $800,000 of TV ads against me. I’ll still win, but if I lose, it was worth it.

@blackswampfb @CoachSmith_10 The current D7 is just the old D6. It’s not a divisions problem, it’s a regions problem.

In '76 there were only 3 divisions. Generally you have at least a couple finals that come down to the wire. Divisions 3-7 this year had very dominant teams and the D7 state championship was played in the regional semifinals and finals. Personal opinion is there are too many divisions. With 5 or 6 divisions you would have seen much more competitive games.

The average margin of victory in the 7 state championship games ending up being 28.8 ppg, which is the most all-time, breaking the previous mark of 27.7 ppg set in 1976. The state football championships started in 1972.

@MartinRPI @blackswampfb Use Martin RPI to re-bracket everyone at the regional final round. Then, play an 8 team tournament to determine a champion. Problem solved.

Through 5/7 games, the 2025 State Football Championships have an average margin of victory of 26.6 ppg. State Finals began back in 1972—only 1976 (27.7 over 3 games) had a higher average margin of victory. My confidence level that the last 2 games will be competitive is low.

@blackswampfb @MACScores @midwestathletic It would be an awkward Christmas if it ended with malice. You’d have to explain to grandma why you were punching your cousin in the face.

And classy to see Marion Local immediately head to the handshake line after the first loss of their careers and St. Henry kids not celebrating like they won the Super Bowl and also lining up to shake hands! The @MACScores @midwestathletic is different. Take notes kids and adults!

Big story developing this evening concerning defending D-V state champion Ironton.

@jpaul1957 @the_det_times Whoops. Haha

Good riddance Aaron Glenn

Called one false start. Missed 6 of em.

Answer Shane’s Prayer. Go Irish ☘️

@hecameup That whole “grit” thing is a blessing and a curse

@BertLukey It’s Detroit They should but they won’t

Sorry to all the fantasy footballers, but I’d like to see Gibbs sit out the rest of this one.

Seeing how mad Shane Gillis just made Nick Saban — while Nick was wearing that hat — is the peak of comedy

@lordhelpus12 @pricexxi @barcat_bigstool @ShayneNissen @reineytiger15 Haha! Shame on me, I guess.

It's obvious you didn't play high school football in Ohio and lose in Ohio Stadium twice in the state finals. If you had, you would understand that going and playing shitty larger schools during the regular season and getting blasted by a school your size in the state final is better then winning the State Title 74-0.

Some of the comments under this are head-scratching. Marion Local plays under the same rules as everyone else. They have 108 boys in their entire school. They shouldn't be forced to play schools with hundreds of more boys because they are better than everyone else.

@Champ_Dawg9 @MR_K_LEE @chokincryinRyan @BuckeyeLeafGuy Since you know this so confidently, which surrounding communities are sending their kids to ML?

@MR_K_LEE @chokincryinRyan @BuckeyeLeafGuy Nobody is moving there. They’re recruiting kids from Surrounding communities. Marion Local even has Open Enrollment.

I think it’s time that Marion Local move to D6 from D7 .

@pricexxi @lordhelpus12 @barcat_bigstool @ShayneNissen @reineytiger15 Yes, a lot of bad teams make the playoffs. From D1 to D7. That fact isn’t exclusive to the small divisions. My only point is that small school football in western Ohio is extremely good. ML’s win streak has included multiple state champion teams, multiple larger schools, etc.

@BertLukey @lordhelpus12 @barcat_bigstool @ShayneNissen @reineytiger15 My point of the argument was that they had no problem for 4 rounds of the playoffs for 3 straight years State title or not after competitive regular season’s. You decided to cherry pick & hang onto State title’s being the only Barometer of playoff success.

@pricexxi @lordhelpus12 @barcat_bigstool @ShayneNissen @reineytiger15 You’re making my point for me. They were “fully stacked” and Coldwater blasted them. I’ll give you one guess who Coldwater lost to that year…

@BertLukey @lordhelpus12 @barcat_bigstool @ShayneNissen @reineytiger15 That was the only year they were fully stacked because as freshmen, most played 4 full years on Friday nights and were 4th year starters by their senior year. Go look at the next 2-3 years from 2015-2017. Boccutti was starting as a 13-14 year old for them in 2011.

@pricexxi @lordhelpus12 @barcat_bigstool @ShayneNissen @reineytiger15 You sure about that?

@lordhelpus12 @barcat_bigstool @ShayneNissen @reineytiger15 When I played, Canton CC ran the D5 playoffs, but would be in close games with all sorts of the D1/D2 schools in Stark. Once they hit the playoffs and didn’t have to play any of us locally, it was smooth sailing for them & even my friends on that team would laugh about it 🤣

@JustBaker9 @MartinRPI @ScottTruxell Because the two best teams should play in Canton. They did it in 03 and it resulted in a great, competitive final.

@BertLukey @MartinRPI @ScottTruxell They have never done it when 2 MAC teams run into each other in the semis. Why should they start for Columbus Grove?

Here's my predictions for each Region & State Champion!

@MartinRPI @ScottTruxell OHSAA should do the right thing and separate R26 and R28. (They won’t, but they should.)

@ScottTruxell They won’t be playing each other. Real State champ game will be Marion Local & Grove in the State Semis. Although ML will still roll
