LC, I second AU dad on his comment that you played one heck of a game and congrats to Lakeland for their great season this year.  As a person in attendance at the AU game Saturday I can say the atmosphere in the stands was tense on both sides.  The story you tell is true about the AU player acting the way you described, I witnessed it as I was in the stands close to the LC side.  I totally do not think what he did was acceptable from a player on the field.  What you could not hear across the field was what was being said to him by the LC fans.  It still does not excuse his actions in my opinion.  The other thing you could not see was the LC fan that got off his seat and called AU's coach over after a touchdown and started aggressively addressing the coach.  So I agree tensions were running high on both sides at that game which led to the antics of both sides.

I wish both the Spartans and Monmouth luck on Saturday and hope I will witness one great college football game!!

That must have been one heck of a game to watch. Or at least the fans had to be something to watch. I will caution the AU fans. When visiting Monmouth, remember to behave. If you don't, the skirts can get caught by the wind and you will regret having good vision. 

Good luck Saturday.

I will be out tailgating by the tennis courts before the game if any spartan fan wants to have a beer. (in a non-clear plastic cup, of course)

The best kind of cup to start off game day with

Scots4;  AU will be represented in the Tailgate area, I am sure you wont miss the AU flag and banner.  We are familiar with the non-clear plastic cups, so if you pass by say hi.  and here's hoping the wind isnt blowing to hard before the game........

Hey that sounds like my preferred pre-game activity of beverages in non-clear plastic cups!

Well thanks for the back-up AU parents...Its just funny cause Fatal Impact obviously has not seen the way that the benches are set up...Our sideline we had the benches facing the field and they had theirs facing the stands...Ahhh some peoples kids I tell ya! HAHA! Also, thanks much for the good game wishes, I wish the score was not as lopsided as it seems! This game has a lot of good game potential and I wish for a good game, the way playoff games should be! Again good luck to both teams, and it seems that I may need to start my Saturday Morning off with a beverage in a non-clear cup since I have not had a Saturday like that for a few months!

If you all would re-read my post it would be impossible for me to be a parent of a player if I indeed played for Coach Duncan, I also know that some not a lot but some AU fans stand behind the opposing sideline, I played at AU and I know what happens...That being said I have a very reliable source that has corrected me and I know that the story is indeed, true, I was not at the game, but I know plenty of people who were, I also know that while those actions were not very sportsmanlike, neither is the head coach not shaking hands with the opposing team and coaches,  my eyes and ears at that game informed me that Coach Dohrtery did not make an effort to shake the hands of the team he used to coach and the coaches that he used coach with, thats unsportsmanlike, from what i heard he walked straight from the sideline to the end-zone to where is team was to meet, I also have played LC and when we played them outside of MAC, LC was the dirtiest team we played, but that was also under coach z so i can't fault dorhtery for that that was coach Z's fault, and this my karma is long standing karma from previous "pot stirers" and it's fine with me until recently I hadn't posted for almost a year, I back my Spartans as my bottom line reads Aurora Football 24/7/365, and I don't judge a whole team on one players actions

[LCLB52]

Fatal Impact...You played for Aurora, but I was saying you do not know how they have stuff set up and yes Coach Doherty talked to the other coaches and shook their hands...Pretty sure after we got in the end zone he was still talking to people. Also, before the game he was talking to some AU players and also a coach...He was also talking with a coach after the game, so just go back to your 1 year drought and just never talk again ehh?

[mc31]

LC I dont even know you but I like you already... I second your opinion...

[FatalImpact]

pretty sure my source is a little more trustworthy than you albeit you were both at that game it is a given formality you enter the line at the 50 at the end of the game and that fact the coach didnt join, given they did talk before the game, its tradition but LC wouldn't know anything about that, secondly i'm pretty sure i'm going to do whatever i want, I was coached under dorhtery and duncan, pretty sure i got more experience than you, everyone at the game has eyes so open yours

[mc31]

Here's the thing, if you're not going to talk subjectively about football we don't want you messing up our board.....so if you will not concede hearing discussions of your teams weakness go trash talk somewhere else

From FatalImpact on the NAC board...

a little hypocritical, are we?

[scottie]

MC31: That (hypocritical) might be too many syllables for some of our guests to this board.
