Huron League Thoughts and Questions

View Comments

• So much anger in this blog! (Cc still will destroy Jefferson, tbh)

• Like I said before we should be supporting our league teams through the playoffs. The league has a rich tradition and many teams have been crowned league champs. Someone posted that earlier in the week. So to ask a team to leave is really a mute issue. If anything the league should be concerned with very large schools competing against very small schools. But why change such a rich tradition of high school football and sports. Not to mention some of the coaching legends that had their roots in this league. Talent cycles at every school. Some schools are down, others not so much and it always changes. Consistency in programs usually survives the test of time. If you constantly change and switch things around it is very difficult to get good at something in any sport. Good luck to all the teams the next two weeks and in the playoffs.

• The blog will slow right down. Everyone tired of SMCC. I like the blog, but don't care for SMCC. Not right they are in our league still. I will pray that the right thing happens.

  Thanks for all the Jefferson cracks boys. Lets settle that on the wrestling mat.

  • Must be kind of hard to pray with all that hatred. Maybe come over to the SMCC open house Nov. 1st and you can take some time to be in the chapel. It is just not healthy to carry all that hate.

  • Jefferson doesn't need to worry about SMCC basketball. Focus on winning four games this season so you can get your participation trophy. That is four games in basketball, you have no chance for football.

• I'm sure my fellow Milan fans are still checking in on the blog. I saw a number of comments last week that stated that the big game would benefit both teams, no matter who won or lost. I agreed with those sentiments then and still believe them to be true.

  As for support, I plan on showing my support by making the road trip to Carleton on Friday--not by either rehashing last Friday's game any further here and not by trash talking the Jets on this blog. Airport is a proud program and I expect nothing less than their best. That said, Milan is a team that will qualify for the playoffs after finishing the regular season playing two schools having down years (Airport and A2 Huron HS). I'm not sure I can lend much insight into those contests.

  The Big Reds will use these two games to get back on track. It won't take much to remind them that they still have a lot going for them and postseason play to look forward to.

• I'm still here. Trust me when I say we support our Big Reds. We have, or atleast I don't, have any shame in the lose we took Friday. In my opinion we will bounce back. There are a lot of things that we do as parents to support our children and all of our players here Milan. I still feel we can beat anyone, including SMCC, we got 2 losses, one should have been a win, the other we just flat out got beat. SMCC has a great team and they will do the Huron league proud. As for Milan they too are a great team that will do a great job and hopefully make a long run in the play offs.

• Rouge will be Division 4. Riverview will be Division 3.

  With respect, Rouge plays in the Michigan Metro Athletic Conference (I think that's what it's called). They play teams like Harper Woods, Hamtramck, Ecorse, Det. Community, etc. No disrespect to them, their program or any of the schools of that conference, But you'd be hard pressed to compare them to the competition level of the Huron League.

  Although, I will say that I don't think the View does themselves any favors by scheduling these teams to insure a playoff spot. I understand the rationale, but I question whether it actually does anything to help them improve in preparation for the the playoffs. In fact the only other teams that they've played that will qualify for the playoffs, they've lost too. Yes Rouge is a playoff contender but I think they're like in Div. 8 or something.

  Having said all that, Go Bucs!

• It seems like the blog is only getting a couple of comments a day. Where did #9 dad go? This all happened after SMCC handled Milan last week. There were so many comments posted about supporting Milan as they entered the last games and the playoffs but now I see no support. Milan is a very talented team that should do well in the playoffs. They were beaten by a better team last week but now it's time to get up, dust off and focus on the games ahead. I believe Milan will make the school proud as they win games in the post season - but now is the time to show them support not only after a win.

  From an SMCC Fan with the utmost respect for the players and coaches at Milan.

  • Teams are moving on, getting ready for the next game. You cant dwell on the past. I think there is only so much talk that can be had. Good Luck to SMCC in this upcoming game friday.

• Hey Chris, with all the controversy lately about Draft Kings you might have to find a new sponsor. Someones giving Verna's a lot of free publicity in the comments. It sounds like a popular place, maybe they can be your title sponsor and you can cash in on their success? ;)

• There's a better chance Cisco comes back and runs the spread and makes the playoffs than Jefferson beating cc.

  • You win. I'll get one for Airport JV comment person too. I'll be there at 10pm Friday night wearing a Spartan hoodie, even if Jefferson upsets SMCC.
