This is in response to EastCoastStag,

I am a Kenyon football alum, and I played all four years as a starter.  I was there when we "begged our way out" of playing Witt and 'Bash. That was not the players' decision, and even though we took a beating my Wabash and Witt when I was there I wanted to play them.  I saw the worst of it, and I wouldn't change my college football experience at all.  The fact of the matter is the alumni do care.  They are the reason why the program is still in existence.  If not for the alumni watching us get drubbed 58-0 by 'Bash in 2002 Kenyon football would no longer be.  KFAN (Kenyon Football Alumni Network) helps with funding and with recruiting.  The alumni deserve their respect, and shouldn't be put down by someone that jumped ship.  Secondly, this gentleman, East Coast Stag, who shall remain nameless, never even really contributed to the Kenyon team.  He was an outcast.  He is just bitter.  I am pleased to see the direction the team has been heading, and hope to see it continue.  Go Lords!

KC,
  All is forgiven.  To be honest, the similarities that you pointed out are pretty funny and true (especially the Minnesota girl comment).  We should focus on Denison.  It is a great rivalry, and has been down as of late because Kenyon hasn't really given them a game.  I think this week the rivalry is renewed in a close game, but a Kenyon win.

I don't really think Ben keeps up with the posts here anymore, but if he still does I don't think he'd really be bothered.  He caught enough abuse from the kids on the team when he showed up, and he knew it was all in good fun.  I'm sure he's a lot more worried about becoming the next Matt Morgan.

KC, and to all of those out there on the board,
  I am a recent alumni of Kenyon.  I played for four years, and even though it was hard, it was the most rewarding four years of my life.  I have followed this discussion board for my entire career.  I am happy that Kenyon is doing well.  I know Ben Bennett personally, and he is a wonderful kid.  I have not really seen any negative comments towards him.  He does not post anymore because he is a player, and that because we gave him such a hard time when he arrived on campus.  As for the quote that is above, I take offense to the reference to a certain offensive lineman.  He was a good football player, and an even better person.  I know who KC is, and he has no room to talk.  I am sorry to all of those people's time that i am wasting, but it needed to be said.  I know that was a bad way to post my first post, but hey, gotta start somewhere. 

P.S.  Darkside was a hell of a player.
