Tigers on FOX 8

[massillonmarine]

The highlights aren't great. Both plays were negative. I love Tony Rizzo, but I think they could have found something better in a 42-21 win.

Just click the picture when it comes up.

I agree. They couldn't find some positive play in there for the winning team?

That 58 yd. fg for Mentor is crazy. It looks like Mooney is going to a very very good team.

[Philpott]

They definately picked some of the worst plays to air.

[lesliemw23]

I agree the report on the massillon game wasnt the best highlights, however, what a great view of the stadium, it's a beautiful site:2thumbsup:

[Kamd50]

What do you expect from FOX:doh:

[ChronicTiger]

Get a tissue folks. Im sure if we would have made some decent plays while they were above the stadium they would have shown it. I'm sure they are on a tight schedule. Now FOX is ant-Massillon......? :notlistening:

[longtimefirsttime]

I understand it from a braodcast perspective. They bounce around from game to game to game. They don't have time in many cases to wait for big plays from both teams.

[DAWGH8R]

GlenOak field looked good.

[Fats]

In the past they usually land, we were thinking because of construction they could not.

[TIGER27]

I thought they landed on the baseball field

[Banks]

They had no place to land the chopper!

[DAWGH8R]

Might be the only FG you see Steve miss this year !:weightlift:

[austinsm11]

. Im sure if we would have made some decent plays while they were above the stadium they would have shown it. I'm sure they are on a tight schedule.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that.

[flaboi7]

its crazy people wanna blame fox 8 bc they didnt show a good play for massillon well when they came the TIGERS didnt give the news station a good play to air on tv. its massillons fault that we got negitive) comments like someone stated. not the news stations.

[gotigers1]

I thought they landed on the baseball field

Can't land on the baseball field due to the touchdown bombs being shot off from there.

[TigerVic]

They had no place to land the chopper!

Maybe they'll have a landing spot in Middletown next year!

[massillon catholic]

Maybe they'll have a landing spot in Middletown next year!


They did before right on the field!

[longtimefirsttime]

They did before right on the field!

It was one of the strangest games in Tiger history.

[massillon catholic]

It was one of the strangest games in Tiger history.


Damn near took out half of our team.

Although I agree with you... You don't have to be so rude. Something like... If the Tigers would have run some successful plays while Fox 8 was hovering over the field, I'm sure those plays would've been broadcasted instead of the not so successful. It isn't like Fox 8 was there to watch the whole game. They were there for all of 10 mins at the most.:treehugger:

[wa_tigerfan]

I agree... This site is ment to be as supportive of our Tigers as possible. Some of Flaboi7's posts seem to forget that!

[massillonmarine]

Maybe we didn't run successful plays while the chopper was there, but they didn't have to make sound so negative in the dialogue. "Massillon outlasts Middletown." I think it was much more than outlasting. Didn't we win by 21 points? Just seemed to me that the cumulative effect of all things reported wasn't in the best light.

[CarlE]

Oh my GOD I don't believe some of you. I'll tell you what. Next time, you can schedule when the chopper comes in so we can make sure we run great plays. And then you can write their dialog for them. I swear, sometimes I just shake my head at you guys.

[wa_tigerfan]

Thank you CarlE.... some people just like to complain about something all the time it seems like!

[Dr Strangemind]

You people! LOL

[obiefan]

The field looks "TIGHT" from aerial view!

Some clown named seth emailed Rizzo at FOX to complain about it. Wouldnt you know he just read it on the air and made seth look like a complete tool.
Way to go seth....making us look real good buddy!

:wtf:

TOTALY AGREE... And that was in the dialog!!! "LOOK AT THIS PLACE!!!" I think that could've been taken positively...

[91' alum]

And a special "thanks" goes to Seth in Massillon that sent Rizz the email griping about the "2" bad plays that was shown on the news. "It made Massillon look Incompetent" Really... I though your statement made us sound Incompetent!!!:thumbsdown:

[massillon catholic]

This Seth Joker should be "banned" from the games.

[Seeker]

Seth?

:ohno:

[ChronicTiger]

THANKS ABE... LOL!!!!

Yea....I'm surprised it took them so long to figure out who Abe was!

[massillonmarine]

I sent the email. I sincerely regret sending it. I did a huge disservice to this community. I made a donkey out of myself and made our fans look bad.

I completely apologize for it. I sent a full email apology to Mr. Rizzo. I can only hope that he will accept it.

As far as any action the moderators want to place on me, is ok with me. I'm at your mercy.

I'm sorry.

you are forgiven my man! dont worry about it......GO TIGERS!

[flaboi7]

it wasnt directed at the players but the ones blaming fox 8 for the negative comments... everything in tiger town CANT BE POSITIVE otherwise we would have a coach that has been here for 30 years like central's coach has been people need to stop trying to blame everyone for not always making massillon look the best because we are not until we prove it other wise and believe me i hope its this year so we can change that 22 to 23

not everything in life is ALWAYS positive there is something called reality

[CarlE]

All I can say is thank you to Abe Froman, The Sausage King!!!

[flaboi7]

thank you carlE people will always complain about something so stupid as they did about the "negative" comments on fox 8 when they said "look at this place" could they have possibly ment maybe how awesome it looked? or how many people were there? why take it negative? guess if someone doesnt like massillon or doesnt say something positive they are bad people

[WooTiger70]

flaboi7,

I appreciate your enthusiasm, but please stop and take a breath (punctuation) while you are writting!

Smaller sentences and using the enter key would make your posts much clearer.

:gotigers:

[flaboi7]

I have one question?


Are we in a english class, or is this just a blog site?

Just asking?

[CarlE]

I must be in a bad mood today. Hell I can't tell if this guy agrees or disagrees with me from this post. Believe me, after reading some of his other posts, or should I say translating them to English I HOPE to God he's disagreeing with me.

[flaboi7]

im simpily stating that people need to understand that not everyone will have great things to say about massillon... and the TV coverage the other nigth was what thery filmed .. its not their fault that massillon fumbled the ball and missed the PAT is it? hey at least we made the TV usually they dont show us at all because WE ARE MASSILLON

[fyrewood]

I have one question?


Are we in a english class, or is this just a blog site?

Just asking?


Why? Do you spell and puncuate differently for both? It's not an English class here, but it sure does make it a hell of a lot easier to understand what you're trying to say if you at least TRY to spell and punctuate a little better. Not slammin' on you, but the way you currently spell and use periods and commas etc. doesn't make you appear to be very bright or educated. Again, not trying to beat on you, just my opinion. Take it for what it's worth, which is absolutely nothing.

[flaboi7]

let me remind you that just because my spelling is not perfect or my punctuation may be alittle off, does not mean i am stupid. It just shows how much class you have to even put something like this on a blog site. People always say how much class Masillon fans have but i found at least one who is class less.

You may dis-like this also but President Bush can not speak at all either but hey he became president didnt he? You probably think hes stupid too, but hey he became president some how and we are just to busy typing on a blog site lol.

[wa_tigerfan]

He isn't the only one on here though. There is a handfull of people that need a translation book to figure out just what the hell they are trying to say.

Translation: Hee aint the anly one on hear thuogh their ia a handdful of persons that ned a translaiytion book to figur out just wht in the hel they are tyying too say.

[CarlE]

let me remind you that just because my spelling is not perfect or my punctuation may be alittle off, does not mean i am stupid.


Yes it does. And if THAT wasn't enough you went and compared yourself to that genius from Crawford, TX. Mr. Dubya. Boy you are a freaking classic let me tell you.

And then throw the "classless" bomb at my man Woody. You're nothing short of a piece of work I'll tell you that.

[flaboi7]

I did'nt compare myself to anyone, i just pointed out a fact.

JUst because my spelling is'nt perfect, does not make anyone stupid. For th people that have to point it out, maybe you should go teach at Massillon HS because have you seen their test scores or there graduation rate? You over achievers should go help them out instead of wasting your time with us dumb people that can't spell lol

[austinsm11]

We aren't asking for perfect. We are just asking to be able to actually READ your posts.

On the other hand, maybe it is better that we don't know what you are saying.

[CarlE]

Yes it does. It's the first sign of an uneducated, underachieving, lazy person. And I'm NOT wasting my time with you dumb people. I'm keeping up with my hometown. And I don't want to teach. I don't have the patience for it. Better suited for others that have the right personality.

[fyrewood]

It's not the fact that you can't spell that bothers us. It's the fact that your lack of even trying to spell correctly and or use any hint of writing skill makes it almost impossible for any of us here to tell exactly what the hell you are trying to say.

I was being polite and trying to give you a little constructive criticism, but I guess that went right over your thick head. Nothing I said in my previous post was "classless" at all. I can't guarantee the same for any posts after this one though.

[flaboi7]

Well if u call being in medical school under achieving??? And a few miss spellings make you go this nuts? You really do need to get a life. Maybe if you would put some thought into what you say before you type you would'nt have so much poision in your blood stream. By the way, out of 985 students in my hight school, I graduated number 13. What was yours?

[flaboi7]

By the way, talking about uneducated people, has anyone checked the grades of the football team form last years final report card and their GPA?

The last i heard from someone at sports stuff, there were 50 students with a 2.5 thats a C- wow pretty smart ....

[flaboi7]

Alright enough with the spelling, i'll try to get it alittle better for everyone here.... so is everyone ready for Friday night? It's suppose to be a beautiful night and solon brings a good crowd i heard too. I hope all tiger fans come out and maybe we could have a sell out??? I hope

How many other people are you going to put down to make yourself feel better? First it's fyrewood, who was just asking you to proofread what you write, now it's the football team. Out of line and off subject. Stop while your ahead, the one's who are trying to correct you have been around a long time and are trying to help, so take their advice and grow some thicker skin. Oh yea, and on the subject, the Stadium looked great on Fox 8!!

Now this is more like it!!!! Good post!

You're kidding me, right?

[/QUOTE]By the way, out of 985 students in my hight school, I graduated number 13. What was yours?[/QUOTE]

I don't remember. What I DO know is that it sure as hell doesn't matter now.

[obiefan]

I can see both parties points... It is easy to just come on here in a hurry and get info and have exchanges. But it's also nice to be able to understand what you're reading on the first pass.

The beauty of this, is that we're all Massillon Fans. We all cheer for the same team. Some of us are more adept at saying T I G, and others are more prone to yelling E R S!

It's what makes the Tiger Nation swing!

Go Tigers!

PS: Thanks to Seth for the apology to Rizzo! You rock man! Of course we all want to see the very best highlights. Unfortunately, it can't always happen when you cover 16 games in a chopper at 1,000 feet.

[tbrmom]

I was just glad to see the air time for the TIGERS

GO TIGERS:2thumbsup:

[flaboi7]

carlE ok well what has been said has been said lets move on cool?

like it was stated before we ALL are TIGER fans,I will try to get my typing skills up to par for everyone, but all i ask is, dont judge someone on their typing or spelling skills. Some are better at many different skills.

Hope you have a great night and go tigers

I have never heard of a high school that had a senior class of 985. Where is this school?

[TIGER27]

Mentor?

[TigerVic]

There are a few giant high schools with graduating classes in the 1000 range. Maybe not so much in Ohio (Mentor might be up there, how about GlenOak?), but certainly in Texas and California.

I think Hilliard Darby had around 600 this year.

My class' valedictorian graduated with a 1.14 GPA.

According to Mentor's web-site they have 2500 students in grades 10-12.

[Kamd50]

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe flaboi stated somewhere that he/she went to school in Florida and drove up here on many weekends to see Tiger football games either before or after their own football games.
Is this one for Ripley's believe it or not, flaboi?

Ya, right!

[longtimefirsttime]

For those who didn't hear Rizzo's explanation, he said that they cover numerous games each weekend. They simply cannot spend much time at any one facility. He also said that the chopper ended up being grounded due to weather (up north?). He also said that he's been to Massillon and said "Go Tigers."

I called him off-air and invited him to a possible playoff tailgate (It may be easier to attend when the "herd thins out."). He said to remind him later in the year. He said if the Tigers are playing and his schedule allows it, he will try to make it. He again said "Go Tigers."

[flaboi7]

First of all, If anyone can see my screen name what does it say? FLABOI

Yes i lived in Florida for 10 years of my life, however i never stated that i drove up here. Obviously i flew in a plane. And like it was also stated before many of our games were on thursday nights. Isnt massillons on friday and saturdays? Just a question.

And the name of my school was called W.T. Dwyer High School IN palm Beach Gardens, Plam Beach County Florida It is a veruy large state there

People wanna bad mouth me for being negative yet if they read things right they would have known all of this already. I do say positvie things in reguards to massillon.

When entering the band at my HS, i showed them tapes of massillon band and they did'nt believe me that this was a HS. In fla, they do not do pre-game shows, and if they do its very few schools that do. I actually made a pre-game show for our band to preform and it was the first in out district.

It def. was'nt like massillons, but we did a few songs and made a block D for DWYER...

[Kamd50]

Well thank you for providing that informative response, flaboi. Not to go unnoticed, all that info along with capitalization, complete sentences, correct spelling, punctuation, and separate paragraphs to boot:jestera:

Now that wasn't so hard, was it? :hug:

[Dr Strangemind]

Enjoyed the post! Bravo!

Any resonable fan didnt need an explanation but he did offer it after talking about the email. The "GO Tigers" came during a call from a listener.

[longtimefirsttime]

Yes it was obvious if you listened to the show. I tried to offer an explanation to people who DON'T listen to Rizzo's show. I got two PM's asking what was said from people who hadn't listened.

He also said "Go Tigers" to me on the phone off-air. The guy is clearly not a Tiger-hater.

[91' alum]

I've heard him on the show before the football season started talking about how much he loves the TIGERS and how he can't wait to get back to Massillon.
IT"S GOOD TO BE ALIVE!!!

Gosh almighty....We won 42-21 and you people are crying about the plays on Fox news. You guys amaze me. What are you guys gonna cry about if we DO lose a game this year? I was at a game last year and sat around the 50 yard line on Massillon's side. Their was this man who kept cursing the coaches for botched plays. When are you grown ups gonna realize that these are just KIDS who play for the LOVE of the game and for the PRIDE of MASSILLON. They are not paid and you are not being paid or losing anything by them winning or losing. Don't get me wrong....I love MT Football, but lets give it a break!!! It's just a high school football game:thanx:
