Next Game:

Inkster Michigan Vikings, Friday, August 27th, 2010, 7:00 pm @ Death Valley.

Big Red will open the 2010 season against the only team to have beaten Big Red in the regular season in the last 7 years, the Inkster Vikings.

Last year's contest was a back and forth affair that saw Big Red make a furious comeback only to see it slip away on a 70 yard pass play with seconds left.

Both QB's from last year have moved on to to Division I programs, so a lot will hinge on who will step up for each team.

Big Red has won every opener since 1989, but this will be a very formidable challenge, as the Vikings are big, fast, physical, and well coached.

My Story, or Everything I Needed to Know About Big Red Football I Learned At Central!

I transferred to Big Red my sophomore year, for entirely unrelated-to-football reasons.  Some Central people might say different, but one reason that I find this argument so funny is that, at the time, I was convinced I wasn’t good enough to play for Big Red.

STATE CHAMPIONS:

 

In Memory of Mr. David E. Hindman Sr.

There has never been one man who gave so much to the city of Steubenville, and to his beloved Big Red as Mr. David Hindman. Mr. Hindman had a long tenure on the Steubenville Board of Education, was the Mayor of Steubenville, and was a Jefferson County Commissioner; all while operating his electronics business.
He spent countless hours at Harding Stadium donating his time, effort, and money to give Big Red the most unique stadium in the country. Mr. Hindman gave Big Red it's famous "fire-breathing horse" in 1970, and it's computer message board in 1977. Mr. Hindman maintained the scoreboard, lighting, and all the electronics at Harding Stadium up until his death in 1995. Mr. Hindman also was responsible for assembling a group of men, known to us all as "The Hustlin' 8", which controlled the fire-breathing Horse, the computer board, serviced the coach's phones, and oversaw the public address system.
I consider myself very lucky to have assisted Mr. Hindman at the stadium, and a honor to call him my friend.
