Just want to respond to Narch's comments from last week about our fans during the Maryville-Methodist game. . I was in the stands during the game and, must admit, very embarrassed by the way several of our fans acted during the game. Especially the one's who were clearly sitting outside of the visitors section. My wife and I were amazed by how confrontational our fans were towards the mu fans. I saw several purposefully blow the horns right next to the heads of several mu supporters. We knew problems were going develop and thankfully security was able to breakup a few confrontations
There seems to be several parents and, in particular, a couple who don't have a son playing on the team, but has full access to the football program by Coach Radar and Athletic Director Schram, that is leading this type of behavior which many don't approve of. They clearly crossed the line between supporting the team and causing problems in the stands during the game. My wife commented how our fans would react if opposing fans would sit in our home stands, blow loud horns and ring cowbells in our cheering section. Our fans would react the same way as the mu fams.
I remember a game last season at home against Averett when several drunk MC students went over into the Averett stands and started having confrontations with their players, coaches and fans. Coach Ierulli saw this, stopped the game and signaled security to remove our fans out of the stands holding the Averett parents and fans. A class move by Coach I.
We want our son's final season to be a great experience for him and the 2012 Fighting Scots. Coach Radar and the new coaching staff are doing a fine job putting this team together and are excited about the upcoming game against Averett.
At the same time, we have nothing but the highest respect for Coach Ierulli who recruited and coach our son during his first 3 years at Maryville. Many parents, alums and fans were disgusted by the way Coach Ierulli was removed by AD Schram and VP Kemp.
So responding to DGPugh's comments, the smoke is slowly clearing, because we support our players, Coach Radar and MC football. But there are still many hard feelings toward these 2 women and will be there for a very long time......
