I’d just like to say, I’m thoroughly enjoying Franks nicknames for the schools. Trade Center and Swift sent me. 😂😂😂
Over confident airport will drop this game .
The excuses will start flowing .
Booms will run step to step with mills .
Passing will eat airport tonight.
No Horse let’s talk after the game. I’ll be here win or lose. Will you?
Absolutely
So we gonna talk ?
Please Lear me know the excuse I’ll pass it on for ya !!

Huron League bookie where you been man? Still waiting on my payout from that Airport/SMCC parlay last week.
Airport should be double digit favorites.
HL Bookie, can I get Airport -10.5 alt spread?
So much disrespect for the Islanders… 6points?? Narvarre Field is gonna be a slaughter fest for the Kestrels
View 40-27 Garden City – JV
JV Score
SMCC 34, GI 6
GI had 34 kids dressed for JV by my count ?!? Could be a bright future on the island
0% chance Flat Rock keeps it close
42-35 Airport is my prediction in the game of the week.
Flat Rock will outcoach them on special teams and score on a fake punt or kick return. Buck has always been good for something tricky in the kicking games. The rest of their scores are in the passing game because Airports DC, Coach Anderson will shut down the Rams running attack. Coach Anderson would be a shoe in for assistant coach of the year last year and this year based on how much he has changed Airports defense.
After this game, Airport just has to stay healthy the rest of the season and prepare to play Tecumseh or Adrian week 10.
The defense is good because they have some dudes on that side of the ball this year. Sorry but not much to do with Anderson.
Yes Airport has the players, but I wouldnt take away from the staff.
The motto has been and always will be(especially if you are a parent) players win and coaches lose, but the staff at Airport has done a great job early on.
Good point Gary, that has always been the parent credo, “When we win, it’s the players fault. When we lose, it’s the coaches fault”. Is it a rule, no. However, if I had a dollar for every time I heard that from a parent, I would be retired by now. I hear at my school and I hear it at the grocery store when someone who follows the blog recognizes me they want to talk. It’s not a dig at parents, its just human nature.
Airport also has a devotee coaching staff who know the game and turned the program around.
All I’m saying is it’s easier to look good as a coach when you have the studs to coach. And of course it’s always the coaches fault when a team loses. That’s the world we live in nowadays. It’s nothing to do with execution and all to do with the little Johnny’s playing time. “We lost because they didn’t give my kid the ball enough”. Ha!! The world of entitlement in youth sports and varsity sports can be unreal at times. I do think the Airport staff is doing a great job. I’m not trying to take anything away from them. They’re also doing a great job at the lower levels and the junior Jets program. It’s kind of unbelievable if you think of the turnaround of the football program since Duffey took over.
Airport is much better these days because of the enrollment. something like 2700 kids. They have passed Huron and are only 100 or so less than Riverview. With that many kids any of us should be good. The small schools that win is definitely credit to the coaches. All of us know, talent makes a coach look good. Airport now has talent with the increased enrollment. They should be good with many years to come.
2700 kids?? huh?
Airport has 778 students in the High School.
Huron has 812 and Riverview 859.
Lol
We’ll talk tonight !!
For Gary its Duffy* lol
And for Airport they dont have 2700 kids lol at all. I went there. .
In Monroe it’s Duffy, Carleton, Duffey.
If I start spelling it Duffee, come check me.
No, Gary. In Monroe its Duffey* as in Duffey towing.
Carleton is Duffy. I am literally related lol.
See why I’m so confuzed…
No, Gary. Carleton is Duffy. I am a relative. Please, dont argue this with me lol. Duffey* is Monroe as in Towing.

Want to make a bet on the spelling?
GO BUCS!!!!!!!
Airport vs FR rivalry is alive
You guys probably should not have put “T.O. “
“ Tommy O”
in that situation..
Any other week but Air vs FR
Give him FR vs Jefferson and see what he says or vs GI or Airport vs anyone else..
He was at Airport but we always felt he was a Dundee / FR dude at heart .. that’s what he compared us to…we own Dundee and FR… he was a very good HS player at FR but at Airport the guy was out of place….
Could you see a Duffy at FR?
GO JETS!!
I hope Chris brings T.O. back on as a guest picker in the future. Coach O has been an AD in the area for awhile, a Head Coach in football, an assistant coach in other sports, and helped Coach Macelvany turn around Dundee back in 2015. Not to mention he had a nice high school career. Sour grapes from the folks in Carleton and some in Flat Rock apparently.
Chris, Gary, Frank, LOVE the idea of a guest picker every week. Coach Notario was awesome as well.
I would love to see Coach Redmond, Coach Giarmo, or even my boy Coach Sikora come on the show! thanks for all yall do
LOVE the guest picker each week. Yes. it would be great to see some more former coaches in the region like Redmond, Walentoski, Sikora, etc. Even some former legends like Tracy Richardson, Dave Steffen, Stergalas. Keep doing what you do guys.
We got a good one lined up for this week as well. Harvard grad at that.
Many people use his website throughout the season…
Stay tuned.
No. Duffys are Airport. Always. Trust me. I know. 😉
Tommy O is not the AD at Airport, and he never was…homer pick
Airport rolls just like we rolled FR back in the day
He WAS the AD at airport genius. Also was the AD and defensive coordinator at Dundee from 15-19 but reading is hard
Hoopty Doopty, You’em Genius.
Monroe and Lincoln will probably be closer than the picks. Yeah Lincoln lost to AA pioneer, but the pioneers are much much better than last year. Lincoln’s offense is struggling, but their defense is solid. Nevertheless, I think Monroe will win. It just won’t be as easy as they think.
Milan beat Lincoln. Im not sold on the Big Reds just yet.
