GO BLUE!!!!!!!!
Frank will still find a way to talk about MSU. Are the Spartans even on TV tonight?
Smcc vs Riverview week 6 both Undefeated this will be the game of the century Mark My words CAN smcc do it?? I believe so I believe they where built to BUILT RIVERVIEW #LFG
Have another drink! SMCC better worry about beating Milan and Riverview better worry about beating Flat Rock. I personally think Riverview waxes SMCC by 28 this year because SMCC has never been able to stop the T but I do hope its a good game this year. I think SMCC has a special team but Riverview is just that much better than everyone. This is Riverview's best team since 2004 easily.
Winning a league with the best teams 2 and 4 divisions below them, has become rather easy. How many in a row now is it? I lost count lol. I mean it took Airport’s best team ever and View missing 5 starters to finally lose a league game. I don’t know who will best Riverview or when. But I know it will be a tall order.
Riverview’s season will be determined by the playoffs. Where they will face fellow D3 foes. When you reach their level of success, deep playoff runs are the measuring stick.
Lame excuse. Former teams never complained about school size and they handled business against good Riverview teams.
Not a complaint
Gary, the moment SMCC loses to Riverview, then it becomes about school size rather than giving credit to the players and the program. I think that's wrong to deny Riverview credit like that, especially since CC doesn't lead the series by a little, but by a lot. You can't have it both ways. I'm sure if SMCC thought Huron league competition and schools were too tough for them they'd find some small school league they could dominate with ease. As for Ida, it's you guys who've been telling us how amazing they are all season, so no, I didn't expect an unranked team in a lower division to knock them off like that. The Whiteford win isn't looking so impressive at this point. I wasn't buying it just yet.
If you watch anything we have ever put out, I have said Riverview is head and shoulders above everyone else in the Huron League. We started making videos in 2017, when View really took off. Take a look, they are still on YouTube. Heck in ‘17 Mac sent me an email because I said Riverview was going to wax Divine Child. He didn’t like that I was backing them so much I suppose. I’ve said they don’t make mistakes. I’ve said many things complimentary. Any comment you want to pull. All true. I think it’s ok to talk about both sides of the coin. If you don’t think there is at least a slight advantage enrollment wise, that’s fine. You may be right. However I suppose there is a reason we have 8 divisions. You would also be correct that the change in View started when Mac switched over to the T. That surely has something to do with the dominance as well.
So this year, barely D3, next year back to D4. Your go to excuse is always that Riverview is D3. Last night they beat a school of similar size with the same amount of players. You don’t hear CC making excuses that they are the smaller school.
Just stating truths.
I think that’s ok to do.
What did I say that was incorrect?
Just 2 weeks ago sir, you got on Ida’s(D6)case for losing to “a D8 school”. “I thought they were world beaters” you stated. Snark detected. Seems you are arguing both sides.
By your own logic, a state ranked D3 school should hardly ever lose to a state ranked D5 school.
What is it about them that's built to beat Riverview? I'd be interested to hear that perspective.
I too would like to know exactly how SMCC is built to beat specifically Riverview?
I think SMCC and View is going to be a great football game. But until and unless a team consistently beats them, View is the HL big dog that sets the standard.
Nothing but respect for View’s program.
I think I know the answer. SMCC looks just like Riverview this year. They are big, strong, athletic and fast. Just like Riverview is. You can tell the Falcons have spent more time in the weight and training rooms than the last few years. I also think the Falcons, offense was tooled a bit to give their backs a different tool so to speak by running the T out of the gun. I think its also fair to say that SMCC has their best passing QB since 2014. With that said, Riverview looks awesome!
Similar teams, no doubt, I've seen both of them. Top end speed is the main difference, along with strength up the middle on both sides of the ball. Riverview is built to defend the pass with that speed. Both teams are fast, just one is even faster. This year, it's a bigger, stronger front 7. We're not talking a little stronger, we're talking a lot stronger and a lot bigger than last years group. Also, a much better passing game than last year with a regional champ at qb. So while SMCC has raised it's bar, Riverview has also raised its bar. That team last season really wasn't loaded with the strength this team is. I'd be interested to hear on here from a Huron player what their perspective was between the two teams. I don't care for the gun, if a center gets beat up by a physical defense, botched snaps may start happening, that's just one more problem a team has. SMCC really hasn't ran into a buzzsaw on defense to see how that shakes out. Clinton is in a down year and the rest of the schedule is about as good as Riverview's at this point, so they really don't know.
Clinton is not down. And their defense is top notch.
Thanks, Chris. Your assessment makes sense.
Riverview has to go to Flat Rock next week we will see how good they are . Two 4 - 0 teams
Perhaps get picks out a little earlier this week to motivate locker rooms????
Flat Rock definitely looked ahead to Riverview. The second half the D tightened up , Monroe’s QB is definitely a good player .
He was a one man show without him FR wins 80-0
No one in the HL is beating the View. Smcc and Flat Rock are playing for 2nd place. Riverview will smash Flat Rock and Smcc. Listen to what I’m telling you. The view wins 5 consecutive Huron League Title.
Folks in the view and surrounding areas, should be quite happy that Rouge is in deep trouble of not making the playoffs.
I will go on record right now and say, "Rouge gets in and View beats them"
If last year's young team doesn't fumble while driving with the lead in the first half and Rouge has to keep passing, View might have won that game last year. Nick Marsh was held to just one catch by Ian Adams who defended him extremely well. This year's defense is considerably larger and stronger which should make a difference there. They just needed a few more guys last year.
Play Rouge or do not play Rouge. I know what I would choose.
The bucs want to play rouge they know they will beat them!!
No doubt, it's a tough out that's for sure.
We saw your game against Huron and went in knowing exactly what to expect. The Huron offense didn't do anything on the starters, their OL spent most of the game trying to tackle defenders. Riverview even declined a holding penalty on Huron and gave them the ball at around the Riverview 25 while it was 37-0 just to give their defense some extra reps under pressure. The Riverview starting defense hasn't given up a point this year. Huron did the same thing they did against SMCC, they tried going WWE for about 3 quarters and those officials weren't having it. It got so bad at one point that the officials had a meeting with the starting Huron offense to try to tell them to stop. Riverview had strength up the middle the main culprit on Huron wasn't expecting and he was tossed himself a few times. Huron could be a good football team, but they are an extremely undisciplined team on offense. If those linemen put as much effort into learning legit blocking and pass blocking as they do tackling defenders from behind and from the side, their offense might be able to move the ball because there is some talent at the skill positions. It seems to me like one of those players on the Huron OL should be moved to defense because even though he doesn't do things right, you have to admire his strength, coordination and determination on every play and defense is about tackling which he's very good at. I'm not sure he can change where he is. He just doesn't know how to block anybody correctly. I saw no evidence of it the entire game as he was ejected in the second half.
Well said!!!
Huron league is really down this year. 2 teams that haven’t really played anyone and the rest are just not good at all. Sorry
You must be a member of the Society for Striking of Deceased Equine…
The Huron League is not down when there are currently (checks notes)…
Three unbeaten teams who are ranked in the top ten of their divisions, and SMCC (checks notes again)…
Beat a Clinton team that was ranked in the top 10 of their division
Like I said, 3 decent teams, the rest are not good.
Huron, Milan, GI, Jefferson, Airport not so good.
Airport and Huron will be a good game.
I love how un-educated you are with a comment like this
LOL
I don’t want to be a jerk….but how can you say the “Huron League” is any good? Help me understand?
Convince me?
3 decent teams, the rest not very good.
Jefferson was in the game at half time. Why do they not do full kick-offs? They have a pretty good extra kicker. Also went for it every time on 4th down. Constantly gave Flat Rock good field position and put our kids backs against the wall. We had a chance for awhile.
Flat Rock D needs some work if they are going to compete with SMCC and Riverview.
Keep your heads up Bears play for each and don't let the outside talk in. Hone your skills as the small gains today will pay dividens tomorrow. You know that you love the game because if you didn't there would be no football at Jefferson. It takes guts to suit up every Friday knowing there are no seniors and line up across from good offense and defense lines in the HL. Brighter days are ahead Bears just keep grinding.
901 herr rd does nothing right
Huron needs to learn that this is football
not wrestling, especially number 67!!
He had a couple unsportsmanlikes against SMCC as well.
If actions are not corrected by the coach then they are acceptable by them.
Should be moved to the other side of the ball imo. Tackling is the specialty there, not blocking. Great effort, balance, and strength even though it is doing things the wrong way. I think it did make the game more entertaining. There were three options, tackle the defender from behind, side, and the rolling suplex move. No actual pass or run blocking detected.
Riverview had the poison pill, it was called number 54. He was too strong for 67, lol.
View 51 Huron 0 6:30 left in the 3rd.
