| I agree with that, knowing that i am a #1 fan of Troy Colts. I think Chris Wheeler #1 does a great job on the field.

| I certainly like to see the stats of these running backs cause I know Beau Barterian is probably not the best back in the OAA but I bet he averages over a 100 yds a game. So what r these other top backs doing -stat wise? Anybody else wondering if this is a particularly good year for good/great running backs in the OAA?

| I love Kieth, he's very strong and his change of direction is outstanding. And the Groves running back is smooth and being on a team with less talent makes him even better than what he appears. Nino Jones has a bright future at Farmington being a sophmore, has 8 TD's.

| I would have listed Tim Kieth at #1 but he does have a tendency to cough the ball up.

| After what I say tonight at the LO / Adams game, you better start mentioning LO RB Kim Bruce in the conversation. Kid's got blazing speed, and amazing cutbacks.

| after watching kim bruce tonite...damn, within the first four or five plays he picked adams defense apart, something i havent really seen any other team do, i havent seen a back hit a whole that hard in a looooong time, his cutbacks were crazy and his overall vision of the field was amazing as well, definetly want to know how we passed this kid up when we listed the top oaa backs

| I would take Bruce over any other RB in the OAA. He is the best I have seen. Bender is very good. However, it's hard to judge players like Baker because of his poor team. What would he do with a team like LO or Clarkston?

| The truth of the matter is that you guys have
over-looked everything LO the entire year. In fact LO goes at least 3 back deep and either one could be starting for any team in the OAA. Bruce actually began the year 2nd on the depth chart.

| Hey Gee... is this your 1st post?
Well actually, the FACT of the matter is that there is no information to be, period. Coach Bell has done an exceptional job of giving nothing, which includes everything. So, there has been nothing to talk about other than the #1 and #2 ranking that they have held HERE the entire season.
Either way, I don't remember you ever posting here, so welcome.

| It's rather easy for folks like Gee to come from the woodwork after a big win. Monie, where were you when we were asking who was what at the TB position for the Dragon?
1. Oakes
2. Bruce
3. Stevenson
OK.. we get the point, at about week 5 I'd guess. Ever hear of a publicity director? Maybe an assistant that could promote the program? How about a website? Nope. Get my point?
If Adams pulls it out, you never show... and I guarantee if Clarkston wins, your gone.
Maybe you could show a little class, yes? Lordy.

| yea seems a lil funny, one of the most renound football programs in the oaa, and nuthin, teams that dont have the greatest record in their conference, like rochester, seaholm, royal oak, central, have some pretty descent coverage, rochester seems to get a lot acutally and they r 1-7, they have gotten more coverage than LO who is 7-1, just doesnt make sense or add up

| Gentlemen....gentlemen! Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers, just enjoying the local sports scene. Definitely agree that some programs are more adept at projecting & promoting themselves. Other programs would just prefer to do all the talking between the hashmarks and promote themselves thereafter in the endzone.

| Just for the record, I am the silent majority. Regardless, I will post following the LO,Clarkston game. Heck,I may even post during the game.
If I feel inspired,I may even post some stats afterwards. Seemingly stats "alone" is the basis of your RB ranking.

| Hey JoeShmo also known as Dakota Bender or Dakota Bender's friend, it's called "in-game adjustments". They were keying on Kim Bruce so he went to something else and it worked. What did he have, five carries? Still probably had almost as much yardage as you or your friend. Eric Knoblock had two TDs on two carries. Is he better than Kim Bruce? Stats aren't everything, Einstein.

| i defintely think francois mathews from auburn hills Avondale is one of the top running backs in the oaa. when you have a game where you have 24 carries for 310 yards and six touchdowns thats crazy and he's only a junior most people you guys are naming our seniors he has one more year. you cant forget about him if anything.

| If you were what you've fantasized... I mean, said you are then you know that Tim Keith runs great but he has trouble hanging on to the ball, and it's been that way since his sophomore year.
In your eye, what running style do the following backs have? Example...
Dakota Bender - Good speed and elusive, stretches the defense well from an option back slot. Has a nose for the end zone. Outstanding YPC.
Now you...
Joshua Cooper -
Raymond Johnson -
Francois Mathews -
Chris Wheeler -

| Looking at the OAA running backs yards per carry in this forum there are some impressive stats in there. Some backs churnen up some yardage in this league.

| Worth noting that Farmington held Tim Keith to less than 25 yards rushing in Saturday's playoff game. Nice job, Farmington Defense, especially Colin Clark and Nick Nadolski!!
Keith was outgained by Farmington's Neno Jones.
