Puma42 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 How classless was that move? Having the football players warm up on the field while the Nederland band was still marching. Disrespectful and disappointing in my opinion. I lost a lot of respect for Lumberton tonight.
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 was it in the endzone or on the field? I know out here in Abilene both ball clubs divide one endzone and warm up while the last band is finishing up.
bulldawg64 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 yes i saw that also walking behind the court while they taking pics of the girls and their escorts.still running plays while homecoming began.and continued to do it
Puma42 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Posted October 23, 2010 They were warming up doing high leg kicks through the end zone and 10 yards onto the field.
WeedBegone Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Oh come on now. Its a football game. thats what the players do. Besides, the band must not have been doing much if you were wondering off looking for something else to look at. Have you ever watched the band as they were intensely watching the football game?
bulldawg64 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 i thought you were refering tothe homecoming before the gamei must have missed that
Puma42 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Posted October 23, 2010 I wasn't "wondering off looking for something else to look at". It was a freaking distraction. My sister is the drum major for Nederland and she said she missed a whistle because of the distraction. Have some class and wait till the band is done with their routine.
head13 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 maybe they should have waited until lumberton was done with pregame warmups, it was a football game right.. as for warming up at halftime lumberton was in the endzone and backed up even more when nederlands band came there way. please yall won be happy.

Puma42 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Posted October 23, 2010 Not from what I saw. Lumberton's football team went [b]10 yards out of the end zone and back 3 times[/b]. I wasn't there for the pre-game stuff so I can't say anything about that, but I know what I saw at halftime. Now it is a football game, but a football game doesn't just consist of the football team. It consists of the football team, cheerleaders, twirlers, the band, and the student body of both schools. And both schools should have respect for each other. But I guess I shouldn't expect that from Lumberton from now on.

megative Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 sore losers as well as lousy sports.absolutely pathetic.

There was no room for them to really warm up behind the goal posts?? Kind of getting blown a little out of proportion. Was it wrong, yeah probably, but I don't think it's something to run em into the ground over?
megative Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 not harsh at all really. the first time they ran out onto the field can be overlooked. but to run off onto the field a second time while the band is still performing in their given halftime time is absolutely ridiculous.
baseball_1989 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Most ridiculous statement I've ever read. The players need to stretch to stay healthy and be ready to play. Somebody always finds something to complain about. Stay classy like you've always been, Lumberton. :-*

Please, enlighten me on exactly how you mean sore losers as well as lousy sports? Are you referring to the actual team itself or the fans?

You cant beat the team AND the referees. If they would have called the things on Nederland like all the holding and getting up and pushing Lumberton players down all the time Lumberton would have won.
WTB Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 gets my vote for worst thread ever. WHO FREAKIN CARES!!!!
Puma42 Posted October 23, 2010 Author Report Posted October 23, 2010 Who cares? People that care about other stuff besides the football team.

raideroldtimer Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 Frankly, I didn't notice it because I was concentrating on watching the Nederland Band like you Nederland fans should have been. My guess the reason they were out there warming up was because the band was past their end time for their performance. Half time as well as the game is run by the clock believe it or not. Now was that the Nederland bands fault? No, it was a mistake either by our band not bringing enough of the Jr. High band members who normally pick up after the performance OR our little guys were more intent on getting the percussion equipment moved out of the way and didn't realize that our band used sheet music to play the selection for the Raiderettes who performed their derrick routine FOR the Nederland fans. Therefore, since you weren't paying much attention to your band until our players came out to warm up, you obviously didn't see all the music still laying in the field, which your band patiently waited until our kids got it gathered up, pushing their performance into proverbial overtime. THAT was why your band was actually still performing when our team came out to warm up. Now what did the dogs do? I have no clue as I was watching the outstanding performance your band was doing, some of us actually pay attention to that part of a game as well as the football being played. Was our team in the way? I haven't a clue because I was watching the band, should they have stayed out of the way? Probably, but at the same time, a certain amount of time is set aside for the teams to warm up, so they too had a right to be there.
Gusher Posted October 23, 2010 Report Posted October 23, 2010 The incident first occurred with about 2 1/2 min. left on the clock and then again about a miniute later. So the performance wrapped up on time. Funny how the Nederland players were able to streach without interferring with the band.
