Milan (5-2) is coming off of a tough 41-14 home loss to SMCC while Airport continues it’s struggles with a 42-21 Homecoming loss to Grosse Ile. Milan won last year’s game 45-27 and leads the all-time series 32-15-1.
Milan will look to get on track this week after a tough loss. The Big Reds are still a very good football team led by a solid coach and some very very good football players.
Airport has struggled all season and appears poised for their worst record in nearly 30 years. The Jets have struggled on both sides of the ball this season and things don’t get any easier this week.
Milan has the talent to make a state playoff run, but they won’t overlook Airport this week. Pick. Milan 41 Airport 6

Airport almost(only in horse shoes) beat this Milan team. Milan cant overlook this a2 team they play better competiton week in and out. Marshall has played some great football this year. I smell an upset....
Some folks underestimated Airport including you for this game. Super week of practice for Airport and the coaches had them ready to play!
Sorry I haven't been commenting much this week, been a crazy work week. A mad group of Big Reds coming to town probably doesn't bold well for Airport. Milan 35-7. EM
I think Milan has a great shot at a long run. Just my opinion.

I understand you thinking that Milan may not have a long playoff run. They don't have many in their history. Some of the best Milan teams I've seen were stymied by Jackson Lumen Christie in something like three different years around 2000-ish. More recently, the Ron Spears team made it all the way to the Regionals against DCD before losing. Other than that, they have struggled to get out of district play. I'm not such a slappy fan that I don't acknowledge my favorite team's history.
That said, this is a unique kind of team in Milan. They are very capable of making a run, but I do think that the right matchups in their playoff bracket could make their road a lot easier. Will Milan face another bruising, ball control team or a speedy mirror image of themselves? Will their opponents have faced similar offenses in their regular seasons, or will they have to learn new defensive keys in a week? I know I'll be interested in checking out Milan's playoff path as soon as the brackets are released.
I still haven't heard why anyone thinks Milan will go 1-1 in their last two regular season games. Perhaps you think the bus driver will get lost and Milan would have to forfeit...
Who is ranked #1 in division 4 right now? Country Day! Milan gave them all they could handle last season and DCD went to the semis. This year's Milan team is much much better than last season.
Wow Coach Tom, neither of Milans final oppenants I would consider BIG Boys. I meant Milan can not compete with the Big Boys they will see in the playoffs. Will be a one and done or maybe a second game at best if they are in a weak playoff.
I totally disagree with your statement. Is Riverview considered "big boys"? What about Marshall? Just because we lost to SMCC does not mean we can't play and win. Milan gets it done tonight, next week, and I'm thinking they might play for a title. That's why they play the game.

Milan will bring home the win thanks to the players dedication, the amazing coaching staff, and Cole (Best manager in the league)

Wow, 6:19, so who's gonna get Milan? 1-6 Airport or 0-7 A2 Huron? Is there any rationale behind why you would consider either of these teams "big boys" other that you being a Big Red hater?
Also, there are teams out there that are simply bad matchups for your favorite team, no matter who that is. That's why the playoff draw matters so much. It's up to the Milan players and coaches to draw as much as they can from the SMCC game so that it helps them in their playoff run. If Airport does run the SMCC defensive scheme, tonight becomes the first opportunity to benefit from last week's game. Milan would have had two weeks to prep for the same defensive looks.
I suspect that there is a big difference between *running* the SMCC defense and *being* the SMCC defense. If I'm right, we all get to see the difference tonight.
