Just getting around to reading the board today after this weekend's game, and I see that I caught it pretty hard for my "Little Pedro" reference.  I can see why.  As soon as that came out I thought, "That doesn't sound so hot."

Well, my partner on home games, Rob Stanley, was a legendary RMC linebacker (and college coach for many years--RMC, Ashland U, VMI) in the 80s.  It just so happens that he was known as "Little Red."  He, to my chagrin, got a MAJOR kick out of it and repeated it a couple of times.  On-air I urged him to move on from that.  Rob is a good friend of Coach Arruza and assured me today he would not take offense, and I hope that's true.

If you do 30 games a year for 20 years you WILL say something unintentionally odd or offensive at some point, and I really try to minimize those.  I put some serious travel time in for this 2nd job (I have a family and a real job as a financial adviser with its share of intensity), and I try to serve the game and make it fun.  Sorry if we miss the mark on occasion.

Thanks for the explanation Tiger Mic.  We have great respect for all our coaches at R-MC & are glad to know that he did not take offense to those remarks.  But the level of abuse then directed toward 78rmc who simply expressed his thoughts (and he was not alone in what he thought!) added insult to injury.  We hope he doesn't leave the boards for good.  And we hope everyone learned that we ALL need to be more respectful toward our leadership.  GO Generals!

When your expressed thoughts are to call someone a borderline racist you typically can expect some criticism.  Further why is his expressed thought of calling the announcers borderline racist an opinion but my expressed thought of calling his comment borderline stupid an insult?  Is he and are you really that sensitive?  Tiger Mic seems to be a stand-up guy. He says he made a mistake. Move on.

No, here's stupid:  commentators calling a visiting coach anything but "Coach _______" or "Mr. _______"...

That's not nearly as stupid as calling the announcers borderline racists for calling your coach "little". Heck even your RMC78 deleted his post. 

Good luck to W&L.

Congratulations to the Jackets and their fans on the big win today. Maybe someday Favret will figure out that the defense is as important as the offense and we'll be able to put up more of a fight.

Nice game for the Jackets, ball possession was the key, RMC keeps the ball for almost 45 minutes, unheard of.  3rd and 4th down conversions were important.  Game Ball goes to RMC O-line, dominates HSC D-line.

The HSC commentators kept calling Coach Arruza, Little Pedro.  Quite disrespectful and borderline racist!

Disrespectful? Maybe. Racist?  No.  His name is Pedro!  It's not like his name is Fred and they called him Pedro. That's his name!  I've never known the word "little" as a racist term. your comment borderlines as a little stupid

Every knows HSC has a great passing game. In the last 4 games HSC has rushed for over 800 yards. The HSC offense is very balanced.

There's a website called www.berecruited.com. It allows your son to upload videos and a profile. You can them email to coaches.

Another idea is to spend lots of time on ACT/SAT prep. Many private schools award academic money based on these scores.
