Sayer why didn't you have something like this when you played?

Not sure how his coach lets this go on.

I guess he doesn't know "Loose lips sink ships."

I wouldn't tell them that the hope is to win a few games by any means. The message you send and the message you keep to yourself as a coach are 2 different things. Nor did I say you don't prepare to win every game.  If I were at a lackluster program, and we were lining up to play Mt. Union, as a coach, I would spend the week preparing to win. Do I actually expect to beat Mt. Union in that position? Of course not. But you prepare the kids every game as if it's going to be a victory.

A great example was our game this year with Alter. They beat every team in the GCL North and South by an average of 46-5. Their closest game was 34-7 against Roger Bacon. The last 4 weeks of the year, they outscored opponents 192-14. Did we expect to beat Alter. Hell no. But we spent 6 hours breaking down film and putting together a scouting report on Saturday and coaching the kids throughout the week to believe that they could beat them if they played a great game. Those kids never once heard the phrase "Alter is a game where you just live to fight another day." Did we know it as coaches...yes, but the players did not. They believed at the start of the game, if they played well, they could beat Alter High School. That thought was quickly erased when it was 14-0 after 32 seconds.

As far as teaching is concerned, you'd be in for a rude awakening if you try to teach kids on a level where they are not. A guy named Vygotsky called it the "Zone of Proximal Development." Or simply, you pitch the ball where they can hit it. Do you challenge them as learners, yes, but slightly above their ability range.

or Badin... you guys took a dump against them too.

I don't know how to blog but had someone showed me, I'd probably had set one up. One of UConn's coaches was down to talk with our HB this year.

I'd like to forget the Badin game. I seriously thought we would compete with them. Offensively I believe we did. They could not stop us running the ball...but when your QB turns the ball over 3 times in the first half and your defense can't stop anyone...makes life tough to comeback from 35-7 at the half.

Funny Blog, i give him some credit takes stones to put it out there every week.  he did forget to mention the game was basically even with UC looking to take the lead until about 5 min left when UC piled up about 7 TO in the last 5 minutes mostly just horrid throws not generated by the D.  UCONN played their tales off but i thought UC was a better team just played the worse game ever (also played the 2nd half witht he 3rd string QB)

His blogs are pretty good most of the time.  I saw a link to this from ESPN or SI.

I guess they forgot to mention that TMC won every AMC Title in the early to mid 1990s.

So the AMC is history relegated to the stalls with Gremlins and Pacers? 

Wonder which bottom feeder will emerge from the bluffs above the Ohio, today, to challenge the Beavers for the HCAC's, river bottom supremecy?

Sorry JacketsFan, but last night's inquiry/description might be deemed offensive (though extremely visual and precise)

DC 31-28 against Handjob in OT.

Florida about to go 14-3 against Georgia in the second. Georgia coach Richt tried an onside kick two minutes into the second half and only down by 7. Florida recovered almost at the 50.

Dumbass Bulldogs.

Dumbass Bulldogs.

RT tried to blow it, eh JP?   The only thing funnier was listening to the Hanover sportscaster touting the amazing leg of their kicker the whole last 1:10 of regulation, have him drill the 38 yarder to go to OT, and then have same, said kicker muff an 18 yd chippie from the one... but DC still didn't cover, again...

Regarding the puppies, AMEN!!!

Thomas More is 2008 PAC Champs..

Congrats SaintsFan!  PAC champs!
Also congrats to Franklin.  Looking forward to them doing some damage in the playoffs.

[JacketsFan]

Well, holy cow! It's like deja vu all over again. Three years ago today, Richard, DC#92, playing against Anderson, recovered a fumble and ran it back to the four, where he was downed by an OL from Andy. DC scored on the next play. Today, three years later, on the same day DC plays Anderson, Florida Defensive Lineman Sanders, #92, picks up a fumble around the 40 and gets all the way back inside the red zone before being brought down by an OL from Ga. Florida scored on the next play.

Florida 35, Ga 3 with a minute left in the 3rd

[JacketsFan]

Oops! Got a little carried away. DC was playing Hanover today, not Anderson. Still, it was very reminiscent watching a big ol' defensive lineman pick up a fumble and waddle it almost back to the goal line.

Bob, I know what's goofier than the Hanover sportscaster hyping the kicker's leg . One of the Florida-Georgia game sportscasters kept talking early in the second about how devastating Georgia's play action was being against Florida's defense.

Congrats to the Saints!!!  There is a reason the games are played.

FC took care of business and absolutely whipped RHIT today.  The lone 7 points they scored were a result of blown kick coverage. 42-7 was the final score.  RHIT can go back to Terre Haute and figure out what train ran over them.  FC finally looked like a team that might be getting ready for the playoffs.

Up next is Womanchester in North Manchester.
