[/quote] Glad your not bitter or making excuses .....great job Dogs [/quote] So was it okay for the purple player to chew out the umpire(s) all the way into the outfield after a 3rd out strikeout?  Or to throw his bat? Or his helmet?  How about throwing his helmet across the field at the end of the game?  Guess you missed all of that.  Or was it okay because you thought those were bad calls?  Trev argued with the ump only after he was rung up for a 4th straight time - all on questionable called third strikes.  You've known him for a longtime and you know he doesn't typically argue calls or lose his cool. The truth is, it was a hard fought rivalry game with some very questionable calls.  That makes for lots of emotion.  Sure, Trev shouldn't have lost his cool, but it is really easy to understand why he did.  Lots of us fans did too.  We (on both sides) said lots of things that would have gotten us tossed if we were on the field.  We really ought not to be overly critical of either player.  Neither one did anything that crazy and neither one did something stupid and hurt themselves. I guess what I am trying to say is that you need to be careful where you throw your stones.

[/quote] AKIFAN:  The horse is long since dead...stop beating it. [/quote] Just responding to a direct post to me. I am not offering any new arguement on the subject. [/quote] That may have been a bit harsh.  I'm on the other half of Sonnier's family and I appreciate the nice things you have said about him.  I am also very sympathetic to your cause.  I was surprised to see that Trev had taken a WR and the Utility spot.   If the roles were reversed we (the Sonniers and Kirchmers) would be crying foul and blowing up the site too. I assume you have a relationship with the Nelson kid and I can understand the disappointment and the strong desire to make even a futile attempt to right a wrong you believe has been done to him.  If anything, we are sometimes too aggressive in taking up Trev's cause. The truth is, we were concerned that Trev would be left off the list because he was used in so many different offensive roles that he did not fit well into any one category.  (I should have known there was a spot for a utility player, but I didn't).   I sorry Nelson was left off the list, he is obviously a very good player.

I was very close to the bench at Vidor along with several parents and their reactions were not very favorable for the coaching staff. I watched as both offense and defense came off the field several times feeling defeated and not one coach went to the bench to try and lift these young mens spirits or give them any encouragement. Just my opinion but a game has 4 quarters not 3 1/2 or 3 3/4 quarters. These young men play until the final second ticks off the clock. I hate to see the stands starting to empty before the game is over and all the negative comments being made. How do you think the players feel to turn around and see their supposed fans leaving the game early because they are being defeated. Staying another few minutes and supporting their team regardless of winning or loosing is what a fan is suppose to do. I have  seen the play of the year happen for a player in the final minute of the game. Another thing we all applaud and support the half time show and all the kids involved but when half time is over most of "their" fans leave cause their shirts say it's all about the half time. This is just my opinion but, stick around its more fun than going to get something to eat. :D [/quote]I agree to a point, I would say most of the fans that were leaving early were the over 50 crowd and had to get to Luby's before they closed ! [/quote] Hold on a minute young buck. I'm in the 50+ crowd. Lubys closes at 8:30. Some of us old farts have a bedtime or have to take meds or some other lame excuse. Win or lose, I'm gonna be there until the band finishes their last Cherokee. Back to topic, the Indians get back on the winning track with a huge win. [/quote] I am in that 50+ crowd too. I have to leave because my Viagra is only good for 4 hours. [/quote] That gives new meaning to "getting up for the game."  

[quote name="Anafanatic" post="822965" timestamp="1280956776"] While I understand these decisions aren't easy, it's hard for me grasp the idea that a senior, who has played multiple sports every year up to this point, deciding to forego their senior year and focus on 1 sport.  To each his own, but the focus here isn't on 1 sport, it's the possibility of injury from that other sport.  I can't say it's selfish, nor will I say it's selfless, but being a former college baseball player I would have never dreamed of not playing football my senior year to focus on the diamond - plus it helped me stay in awesome shape.  Good luck to the Dawgs....  [/quote] Well......like you said "to each his own".  What was good for you may not be what is best for another.

[quote name="oldsarge777" post="822260" timestamp="1280588054"] Don't know the kid but I'll bet he'll be just like the other 99% I do know who will regret the decision 10 years down the road.  When all his buddies are telling stories about hanging out in the locker room and playing football, he'll be left out of the conversation.  Most of these decisions are short sided just like a kid who decides to work to pay for truck insurance instead of playing high school athletics.  Kids don't always know what is best for them but they have to live with the consequences down the road.  I would say the same about a kid who decides to concentrate on football and not play baseball in the spring also.  Just my opinion.  I am sure all the "fall ball" advocates will now express theirs. [/quote] There is a big difference between the kid who elects to work for a truck and a kid who opts not to play because he knows he has bigger things coming down the road.  High school sports will not be the apex of Price's sporting life.   Price won't be sitting around wishing he had high school football stories - he'll be telling college baseball stories. He made the right choice.
