WOS may win, but not by 3 scores...should be a little closer game, don't you think?

Four goodness sake...would y'all shut the four up???

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="904982" timestamp="1289535716"] Defense! Play some defense guys! Force a turnover! [/quote] I think both teams left the defenses at home...

This is down to the wire...

Is it too late to take the over?

Kick it Drake...

Take advantage!!!  Put it away Tigers.

Let's go Tiger D!  It's do or die.

Not looking too good for the Hometown Tigers...

[quote name="Penny" post="903958" timestamp="1289453384"] Good point, and everyone knows that at this age, the coaches win the games.  This is a coaches game.  Great job beating all the other coaches.  [/quote] I am not sure to what extent your sarcasm is trying to reach or what point you are trying to make; however, I will tell you this...it is a combination of coaches [u]and[/u] kids.  If you take a great group of athletic young men and put them under a group of well-meaning yet unexperienced and/or unknowledgeable coaches, you may not get the result you had wished for.  That being said, you take a group of mediocre but hard-working athletes and place them under a disciplined, seasoned coach with a good plan and a lot of times you can pull it off.  Like I said, it is a conbination of the two...but don't sell short the effectiveness of a good coaching staff.

I am not sure if this is boxing or football...but I like it!

[quote name="thetragichippy" post="894808" timestamp="1288721190"] Elhector,    I have been a coach and helped out around the field as well. I have not thought about trying to get on any board because I don't like the politics that go with it.  I would prefer to pay my money, coach the kids and have a good time.     As for the concession stand, I really don't think the few people I see bringing in food make that much of a difference. What I do think would make a difference if the concession stand was run more like a business than a kid's Lemonade stand. Most concession stands I have seen have no accounting at all.....or should I say, no accounting that would pass in any business I have run. Again, just my thoughts, they are not directed at any one organization.     I know as a coach, I put up with lot of "stuff" from parents. Not all, but you always have that one or two that get under your skin. I know that going in, yet I continue to coach.......why?  Because at the end of the day it's all worth it......at least for me.    So, try and keep a positive attitude.......remember, its all about the kids       [/quote] T'hippy,  Your last comment makes more sense than all of our back and forth BS.  It is what I have tried to convey from the beginning.  It is a non-issue.  Thanks for wrapping it up so plainly.  Everyone else, take note...

[quote name="MoFo" post="893811" timestamp="1288636361"] Elhector you are in the wrong league, or you need to have a serious talk to your board. Last week I reffed, ran the chains, concessioned, finally got to coach, and then I got to stay late and help clean up. This is a typical game day for all of our coaches and parents [/quote] Amen & thanks MoFo!  I am sure Elharrasser was referring to me at the beginning of his rant; however, I am dealing in facts, not assumptions.  I take part in all facets of participation.  Previous Board Member, Coach, Spectator, Volunteer (including cleaning, mowing, watering and striping fields) and most importantly Parent of an enthusiastic young player.

[quote name="mfd814" post="893425" timestamp="1288596197"] Again,  small children, toddlers, and even breast feeding is appropriate.  Just no coolers, picnics for everyone, or if you must , have it at your car.  IF there is not a rule in place at your league, its all good.  But if there is, please be understanding.  [/quote] I actually support the breastfeeding thing.  I'm just sayin...
