I'm not sure what the thinking was in scheduling this game, but the Lima Senior-Dublin Coffman game should be ugly. Strike that. It will be ugly.
Coffman, a Division I regional finalist from last year, beat Troy 56-14 in its opening game. The Shamrocks field a team with no less than five Division I college recruits, including two Ohio State commitments. The running back has in the neighborhood of 20 offers to D-I schools.
I talked with a friend at a newspaper in Columbus. The story he's been getting from his boss and the folks at Coffman is Lima Senior will give the Rocks all they can handle. They point to the 1996 state title and a great, proud history. I had to inform my buddy that was all in the past.
The Dubliners will be disappointed if they truly believe the line they're feeding. I'm hoping it's a case of the "Lou Holtz" syndrome, where you pump up an inferior opponent to make your win look even better.

Whoa, was I right. 63-0 was the worst blowout I have ever seen.
But I have to say one thing ... the Lima Senior kids didn't quit. I've felt this way from the first moment I talked to Darnell Collins -- the man has the program going in the right direction. But just as Rome wasn't built in a day, the Lima Senior football program can't be repaired in one season. I just hope the school board and administration give him time and support.
