lets see, 5 playoffs the last six years.......somebody said said they'd pick cusic anyday. I went to schhol with Paul, he's a great guy and a great coach I agree, but Bob Spait was playing football before he was even a twinkle in his dads eye. How can you actually say he doesn't win games. I thought this was somewhat of an intelligent conversation until now. You may not like him, and many people don't, but it is BECAUSE he wins so much that people don't like him, and hate the clippers. when ep has a 14 year record as good as ours, then you can talk crap about our coaches, I hope I'm still alive when that happens. It was intellengent until you said columbiana's d was better than Ep. 40 points.and ot..good grief.. This is priceless. What is it they say about stones and glass houses?

I just hope your coaches and your players think the same way you do about the "40 points". Let me tell you a little story about coach Spaite. Without saying any names, there was a kid that graduated in 2007. He was one of the best football players that ever came out of this area but he wasn't really into school and was headed the wrong direction in life. Rather than just turning his head and walking away, coach Spaite made him suit up every day for practice, just like the rest of the kids. But instead of practicing, he sat at a desk on the 50 yardline and did all of his homework, reports, and read books. When he was done, the coach checked it and if it was ok, then he was aloud to join the rest of the players for practice. I had a chance to talk with this kid, now 21, at the street fair this weekend and he said he would do anything Bob would ever ask of him to this day. he owes everything he has become to that man and gives him all the credit for turning him around. The year before that, their was a kid that was kicked out of his house. I guess when he turned 18 his parents didn't want him anymore or something i don't know the whole story, but BoB and Carlaa Spaite took him in and gave him a place to live for most of his senior year. He got a football scholarship and is also doing fine. I really don't know why people have such a problem with him, they just don't know him I guess.Maybe they should, they might become better people.

How about we move this conversation to its own thread. I've started a Columbiana vs East Palestine thread to discuss the game.
