One other thing Pongo, Sergo was welcomed back by Coach Cooper and the Benedictine Coaches/Players, but he is ineligble due to shortage of credits aka academically- nothing else!
Why would you (and others) post something like that?

Fatpongo · September 01, 2006, 04:35:37 PM

Joseph Sergo,

It's no wonder that you are still in your undergrad at 23 years old. You lack basic reading comprehension skills.

I never said that Cooper "kept you off the team this year." I said that he was to blame for you not coming back this year.

You can toot Cooper's horn as much as you want to, but most of the league knows that you did not get along with your coaching staff last year. When they "dared" to move you wingback, you threw a hissy fit because it wasn't going to get you the numbers that you wanted...even thought it might have been better for the team.

Whether you had personal problems or not...you are not ineligible because of your grades. I have two close friends who are coaches at Illinois Wesleyan, and they have told me that the reason you are not playing there is because your 10 semesters is up. You have tried all summer long begging and pleading with IWU...but to no avail. So do not act as if you are "ineligible" because of personal problems....you're simply too old to play college football (semester wise)...so don't tell people that you have one more year left...because you don't. If you go to grad school, great...but your time is up in the NCAA.

I think the rest of your post is a bunch of baloney because you know IBFC coaches read this...and you're simply trying to score points with Cooper even though you and him have a broken relationship.

Finally, what do you mean "Young talent?" This will be the third year in a row where there are more underclassmen than upperclassmen on the squad. How long does it take to get your stuff together?

Jaybird,

In response to both of your posts:

It seems you are the moron, not me. I know how All-Conference picks are chosen. You seem to be confused about the process though and who knows who in the league.

Cooper has been in the league near 20 years. If he doesn't nominate a player that has stats like he did last year...he could/would get fired. What he can do...is sway coaches away from voting for him. It happens all the time. If you don't believe that, you're in denial.

How could a player with Sergo's stats not go first-team all-conference last year? Explain that to me.

Also, no, Sergo was not "welcomed back" by Cooper and Benedictine coaches/players. I explained in my other post that his ineligibility has nothing to do with his shortage of credits...his 10 semester running clock is over.

Get facts straight before you post them.

79jaybird · September 01, 2006, 08:28:47 PM

Pongo, I have the facts straight and have not gone through 2nd, 3rd, or 4th parties to get my information.
Sergo most likely will be playing next year. I would bet the ranch that Sergo will be wearing the Red/White next year.
Furthermore, the same *** goes on in the CCIW and almost every other conference I can think of. There is always Politics and schemes coming into play.
If you disagree with me, that's o.k. but I did get my facts and information without going through a detour or 3rd party candidate.

Fatpongo · September 02, 2006, 12:21:33 AM

Jay,

You're very very confused right now.

Sergo is not playing next year for two reasons. One, his 10 semesters is up. Unless the NCAA makes a ridiculous change by then, he can't play. Of course he can, but then BU would have to forfeit their season (not the worst idea).

I haven't gone through 2nd-4th parties either. I told you my sources(coaches) from Wesleyan to back up my 10 semester claim.

Your information is wrong. I hope you really aren't a betting man.

FatalImpact · September 02, 2006, 12:29:05 AM

In this case I am gonna hafta side with 79.......It is quite evident that Pongo really has no sources and just came back to do what he does and that is to take up space for more useful posts....Same ole' song

Doctor Swole · September 02, 2006, 11:37:19 AM

Jay and Fatal,

Unfortunately, pretty much everything Pongo said is right. I don't know about Cooper keeping him off of the first team all-conference team (though I have heard buzz around the league that it did happen and he bad-mouthed his WR at the meetings).

I'm not siding with Pongo at all because I think he's a prick, but the information he provided about Sergo is correct.

On another note.....Elmhurst/BU in a few hours....

79jaybird · September 02, 2006, 11:50:33 AM

Doctor Swole, are you going to the Elmhurst/Benedictine game?
Pongo, I am done discussing this matter with you. I am confident from my sources (which without naming names/positions, are right at the core of the team) and know what is going on. I am not a gambling man, but this one I am pretty confident. We disagree and that's that.
Good luck to the IBFC in action this weekend and let's remember to keep Coach Walker in our thoughts as we are able to attend good football games this weekend.

aufb05 · September 02, 2006, 11:56:40 AM

Come on Guys - Pongo thrives on attention, so lets not give it to him or it will be another year of Pongo Boards.

porky · September 02, 2006, 03:17:48 PM

21-0 at the half Augustana...Has anyone thought something was going to be different besides me? I know that the highlanders will prevail!!!

GO MAC!!

augiedogie · September 02, 2006, 03:38:41 PM

Porky,

Do you know if this game is broadcasted over the Internet?

Gomer Pyle · September 02, 2006, 06:24:05 PM

UP_DATE: Final score of the Mac Vs Augustana game.

Got this from the Augustana web site.

Augustana "thrashed" Mac to the tune of.........53-7.
You can read the write up of the game on that site.

Fatpongo · September 02, 2006, 06:37:18 PM

Jay,

Say what you'd like....but I'd "bet the house" that I know more Benedictine players than you do...that goes for coaches as well...so I know the whole truth.

AUFB,

Year of Pongo sounds hilarious.

As for BU, looks like Cooper didn't reload on offense or defense.

Benedictine loses 34-0. Same old story in Lisle.

Chili dog · September 02, 2006, 06:58:58 PM

Pongo-

You know where I go to school. You know where I am. You know who I am. COME TALK TO ME. That simple. No more online bashing and bull****. See you soon pumpkin.

Joseph A. Sergo #30-

You are the one who started this whole thing. I stated the facts (and even complimented your performance last season)...and you tried to turn everything around (even though it's true).

Don't turn this into a "who da man" thing by telling me where you live, that I know where you go to school, etc.

There was no online "bashing"...if anything, I tried making you look good.

P.S. You're not #30...that number belongs to nobody on Benedictine.
