Many thanks for the public reprimand, The Roop. I don't know what came over me.

if scottie isn't yelling:
GO GREEN KNIGHTS

Then he is shouting:
GO TARHEELS
But we know what he will be cheering Saturday:

GO SCOTS

Ditto that, Scots4. Any upsets are welcome, however, excluding the Good Guys of course. 8)

The upset you want is for Muhlenberg to win the south. Then the "scotties" will be home until Salem.

Well it seems like Scottie wants to go to the NAC board to find out some insights. I played Aurora the past week and really they do nothing that is unbelievable, they play D and ther O scores. Pretty simple. The D is very good and if you guys shut down number 92 then your going to do all right...But I got to say good luck with that cause the kids a beast! However, I am glad that you guys are home cause last week when we went there, the fans were literally taunting our parents as well as a player on the team spit at the LC fan section and told the to suck his f'ing nuts...I mean from that standpoint I want these guys to get thumped but I also want a NAC win so I am going to say best of luck to you guys this weekend and a beat down would be a-ok by me ;-)

Sounds like they're running a Charm School up in Aurora, huh?

Thanks, LCLB52. You're a model American!

Scots4: I enjoyed you're comment to DC about his posts "hurting." How true!

Maverick · November 18, 2008, 09:59:48 AM

Scots4 - I got the same picks as you for the first round in the West Region.

Also, for anyone that hasn't ventured over yet...some good chatter going on at the NAC board.

Yeah right it was probably the other way around, There was probably an AU fan behind your bench and and someone on your team probably spit at them and said that, unless you saw it first hand which in the heat of the game I doubt you did unless it was on your sideline, and with coach dorherty anything is possible, then i doubt this event every happend, so i would keep mum on anything like that, unless you can tell i played for AU and coach duncan during his first year and they teach character and class, so i doubt this alleged event ever happened

au dad · November 18, 2008, 11:12:11 AM

LC, let me. The AU stands are on one side of the feild, the AU side. No way a LC player could have spit at any AU fan in the stands. Let's just say it was a common rivalary game, ugly on BOTH sides. If LCLB52 is who he protrays himself to be, I must say that you,sir, played one hell of a game. Both teams did some bad things and both sets of fans were out of hand. That is what happens in a rival game.

SNCOLDAD · November 18, 2008, 12:05:47 PM

Thank God another dad with a sane head has shown up. Thanks au dad. I have no doubt that in a large amount of the games there are things that happen that do not need to. If it stays on the field, we the fans have no business commenting on it. If it affects the fans directly, such as was stated here, then that is a different story and no coach should tolerate that of any player. Does it happen? You bet. That does not make it right. A heated game has everyone on edge. Players, coaches and fans. We just have to try to control ourselves as best possible before we ruin a great game.

SNCOLDAD · November 18, 2008, 12:08:07 PM

Oh, and one other minor thing. Hey FatalImpact, Nice KARMA!!!!

I guess we have seen your good side. 8)

The Roop · November 18, 2008, 12:13:49 PM

Crowds can ruin a game, even if your team wins. However, I tend to believe that it is a fraction of a percentage that behaves in that manner. In the MWC we hear stories about the St. Norbert crowd behaving poorly. Well, out numbered 300-1, and wearing Beloit colors, I ventured over to their pre-game festivities and nothing ever happened to me except a warm welcome.

In conclusion. When you look to find fault or trouble it generally finds you first. I have yet to see a fan determine the outcome of a game via parking lot taunting. So why bother with it.
