The facts are in the win/loss column.  Did anyone  hold informal workouts during  offseason?  The answer is no and Ryan never has.  You cannot put yourself into a class with the powerhouse teams when you don't workout in the off season.  That is why Trinity and Watford City as well as Velva (yes I know they are in Class A)  keep reloading every year.  You may have desire but you still have never proved it on the football field.  If this is all it takes to make you mad then you will get rolled over on the field because worse will be said out there.  Think like a champion to win like a champion.  A successful season for Ryan should have started last November.

And it did start last november! i am not getting angry at all because you are entitled to your opinion but i am just wondering what sources you have saying that bishop ryan was not in the weight room all off season and watching film... preparing themselves to get over the recent hump they have been in.

Look at both of you.  All worked up over constructive criticism.  My "sources" come from your own team.  You said it yourself propel-you have "Some" big and strong kids.  Do you have a team?  Did they all work out or just a couple?  That's been the history of Ryan football and thats why you keep coming up short.  Thats whats called commitment when the whole team works out.  You did not have the whole team work out and that is what has shown up on the field over the last few years.  You have kids that are not even sure if they want to play.  Once again prove it on the field and listen to the facts.  If you are as good as you say you are it will show in the win/loss column.  All you want are the sources names-maybe if you worked as a team instead of a bunch of individuals you would not have your own team mates doubting you but that has also been the history of Ryan football-a bunch of individuals and no one looking out for the team.  Learn from the powerhouse teams don't criticize them- They are just playing good old fashioned hard nosed football and they put the time in the off season to ensure success on the field.  The "sophmores" that were on the team that were the starters are responsible for the record just like everyone else on the team.  Keep trying to blame everyone else for the record and you will end up just like last year.  Take accountability for your own actions.

First off i am not getting worked up i think what you say is interesting and i am glad you are saying it. but with that said i am not just going to sit and take it and not give my two cents. i am wondering who exactly from our team you talked to. because i am almost positive  that nobody on our team is doubting or questioning what we are doing and our goals. and this offseason was a TEAM effort in the weight room. i will agree with you in that in the past    it is true that it has been just a select few that have worked out and got it done in the off season. this year however it was a TEAM effort. I am not denying that i didnt have something to do with the past two seasons either.  anyway i am just saying that this talk is not proving anything either way. you are basing your judgments on our past, while we are basing what we are saying on what we see as players.
    Your opinion is that you are going to see the bishop ryan of the past two years and my opinion and response to that is that you will see the new bishop ryan. the team who worked from last november and continues in the weight room through this season, HOPEFULLY starting up a tradition of this to continue for quite some time.

[baseball4life]

Anyway this isnt for the arguement we have going Juan but my four picks for the west playoff picture are as follows, in no particular order:

Hazen, Watford City, Trinity, and Bishop Ryan.

The seeding I am not going to predict because i believe any of these teams could beat eachother so it is tough to pick seeds.

The reason i did not select beulah is i believe they lost too much last year, especially in the skilled position areas, However they have an excellent coaching staff and who really knows how they will develop the talent coming in.

[click clack moo]

wow juan you get all worked up cuz some kids from ryan have a little faith in themselves... yeah idk if ryan will make the playoffs this year but.... i dont think someone from a different school such as you or me has the right to judge them after all how do we know how commited they are or maybe they have been in the weight room every day since last november....

[baseball2008]

I thought this was really low on juans part to say things like that mainly becaus im guessing he is not from Minot Ryan so I dont know how he would know all those things....

low is football players who allow only a few team mates to work out every year (this was stated by baseball4life as the history of ryan football and he is from ryan) in the weight room and the rest of the team does nothing.  How about those kids?  As I stated before "my sources" come from the team itself.  Ryan needs a huge dose of reality to get their program back on track.  If that is low I don't ever want to be on the high side.

Here's what I got... West is significantly stronger than the East again, even with Devils Lake dropping down. (BTW Juan, Watford City has a great tradition, but they had a pretty good stretch of losing seasons until 2005.)

West

1. Hazen... Sorenson may be the best player in AA.

2. Ryan... No playoff experience, but more athleticism than any other team.

3. Watford City... Will miss guys like Svihovec, Samuelson, Wold, Knudtson, Stenhejem et al.

4. Dickinson Trinity... Always finds a way to be in the hunt.

East

1. Rugby... Lost a ton of studs, but have Zwingel and Duchscher as all-state returners.

2. Fargo Oak Grove... Most starters returning in the East I think. 

3. Devils Lake... The move down will make them very competitive.

4. Grafton... A lot returning.

 

[rep]

offensively grafton should be amazing, but i question their defense...maybe they can stow away enough wins before the weather turns through.

[click clack moo]

dont get me wrong, and im not trying to be mean but i just need you to explain to me how the weather will affect grafton more than anyone else??? and why they need to get alot of wins before the weather turns bad???

I do belive from what i was always told weather conditions is just a exuse for losers!!!good teams play good all time no matter wat condition the weather is but thats just me thats they way i look at it!!

[DeuceTrey]

dont get me wrong, and im not trying to be mean but i just need you to explain to me how the weather will affect grafton more than anyone else??? and why they need to get alot of wins before the weather turns bad???

i think he ment that when there is bad weather, the offense usually struggles and needs to rely more on their defense, and since Grafton apparently has a bad defense, they might be in trouble. thats what i got out of it anyway.

yaya i suppose i was just goin by wat click clack said but ur sounds lil better!!

[rep]

what i was getting at was try passing the ball when it is 10 degrees with 30 mph winds. and from everything i've heard/read while grafton has a pretty prolific offense, teams that can run the ball on them have success.

looking at their scoring averages last year they averaged something like 29 points a game in victories and 8 points a game in losses, but i don't remember exactly at what point in the year the wins and losses came for them last year.

it isn't like i'm calling them worthless human beings or anything like that, i was just saying that is what i heard as a scouting report on them. it's just something for them to work on in the offseason and hopefully they did. i love seeing those wide-open offenses get on turf in november.

juan is an idiot  ryan has a very committed group of kids that hits the wieght room every day, or almost, and only two of there players played legion ball and that was Kallias (who is a stud ) and Ben kramer but they made an extra effort for lifting time....
