I wonder who Bob Segar will be rooting for in this game.

Bob was one of the more entertaining posters on the board during the Johnson Central and Ashland "rivalry", if you could even call it that.  I think he took a bad FG call at Putnam Stadium in 2005 to heart as he blasted everything about Ashland on here for many years as the Golden Eagles went on to go 15-2 against the Tomcats since that game.  He was relentless and clever with his jabs, but the series between the 2 schools wasn't competitive overall.  There have been rumblings of Ashland moving back to 4A next season.  Bob would love that as I'm sure Johnson Central is ready to crush some dreams once more as the Tomcats have some of their better teams in a while coming up the next few seasons.

As for this game tonight, though, Putnam Stadium, albeit known as the church for Tomcat fans, isn't known to be particularly well-drained.  Seems like I recall a game being completely cancelled just a few years ago there because the field literally flooded.  The amount of rain that is going to fall all day today should SIGNIFICANTLY change this game.  I don't know which team will benefit, but it will definitely alter the sport being played this evening.
