piratevillain Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 I don't know much about FBCA but I think it's a good replacement game from what I've seen of them on film. Glad we'll still be able to have some football on Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Separation Scientist Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 I am asking. Was it? It seems weird they would agree then immediately back out. Usually that means someone applied pressure. Fortheloveofthegame 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hagar Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Since Bay City canceled, that would count as a forfeit. Now these folks have done the same. That would make Vidor 5-0 in four weeks. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 Need to check with Allen, Highland Park, Aledo. Someone is bound to need a game. Carthage & Crosby are out.

The way Vidor is looking, they might be 8-0 by next Friday. thetragichippy, Fortheloveofthegame, piratevillain and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger33 Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 BREAKING NEWS | FOOTBALL TEAM REFUSES TO PLAY VIDOR CITING RACIST "PAST" | The Vidor Pirates will NOT play on Friday night after a remarkable turn of events that boggles the mind. 1813 called Vidor Athletic Director Jeff Matthews to confirm the story relayed by other sources. Matthews had to confirm its authenticity. Bay City backed out of a game with Vidor on Friday after Tropical Storm Nicholas impacted the team's ability to practice. Vidor hustled around and got an agreement with Fort Bend Christian Academy to play in Vidor on Friday. But after learning of the arrangement the Athletic Director of Fort Bend Christian Academy NIXED the idea. The AD reportedly told Vidor officials they were UNWILLING TO PLAY VIDOR FOR THE CITY'S "PAST." Coach Matthews told us he is sick about it because of what it does to the players and fans at Vidor. Matthews said after serving in some coaching capacity for 29 years he has never seen one thing indicating racism on the part of Vidor players and says he HATES IT for the team. The lack of an opponent strips Vidor players of the ability to get valuable practice with an opposing team but it does NOT work against the team's schedule or playoff potential.

That would be something but Coach seems pretty upset about it so I’m sure he knows the true reasoning behind it. We have played many a Christian school but these guys are somehow holier than thou. Heck just last week we had a big group prayer at the center of Pirate field with the whole Houston Episcopal team and I thought that was pretty cool. piratevillain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
