Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
Time for a change.
I actually can't wait to read this one....
Number 10: The OSU doesn't play Kent State every year because the "gate is good"
Number 09: With the involvement by the community/support groups we could offset any "gate loss" easily, game isn't needed for $$$ any longer
Number 08: Since when is Jackson-Wellston really a rivalry, this isn't the 70's, 80's or 90's any longer, things change
Number 07: See definition of insanity above
Number 06: Injuries and wrecking a season isn't worth a "good gate"
Number 05: That dang $2 parking fee every other year
Number 04: 100 years is long enough for anything, all good things sooner or later end
Number 03: The sky divers every other year are getting older, someone gonna bust a knee or hip on landing or miss the stadium
Number 02: Do you think Jackson's AD would be allowed to schedule someone they were 1-24 against for 25 years...ummm no.
Number 01: See Number 7
How does a "Super Saturday" double header sound?
Warren versus Wellston in Game 1
Jackson versus Athens in Game 2
Play in the Taj Mahal. Divvy up gate by 4, concessions/parking go 1/2 to Jackson and 1/4 to Wellston and 1/4 to whoever home team was in Athens/Warren scheduled game.
This would be first year that Athens-Jackson-Logan would all play each other since quite a while ago.
