I agree.

But what you fail to point out is that government subsidies are the same as buying votes. I guarantee, as bad as the state of the country is in, Obama would defeat any opponent in an election. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Nail biter huh? Thx for the updates. Keep em comin!

Sounds like a solid analysis. But with these 3 teams, who freakin knows!

Sweet

To be fair, if there ain't no witch, there ain't no hunt.

Yall post scores on that game if you're there, so I can follow it if you don't mind. Thanks.

i will say this. I hope Bmt beats PN. If I wasn't working I would love to see that game! Good luck to both. Jag I agree that I don't know if it was initially handled correctly. But after the suspension, I think the coach was at fault 100%. My opinion.

You make good arguments. The bottom line is that the coach screwed up AFTER he had already been penalized. Maybe he just made another poor decision. I don't think he set out to hurt the kids wins, but that's what he did. Kids and parents suffer because of him.

Nope. Their coach beat em twice.

I don't think you're stupid. I think your passion for your team has blinded you. I can guarantee you, I don't have a dog in the fight. I hoped Bmt would go undefeated. I thought the only team that could test them would be the better of the 2 PN teams. I hate it for the kids. Oh yeah. Peace out...

Sorry your board screwed things up too. Sounds like yall need to do some re-vamping.

Awesome he said / they said facts. My point exactly. I would love to get back to football as soon as all the whining stops. Let's hope the coach doesn't cost the team yet another victory.

Problem is you won't post any facts because you don't have any...

I don't represent any team. If you have facts then post them. Fact: The coach was on the sideline after being suspended. I think the boys got railroaded just like you do; the difference is that I am putting the blame on the coach. His disregard for the rules lost those wins for the kids. They are the best team I have seen. That won't change.

The government reported unemployment rate is grossly misleading. When people get tired of looking for a job, or are too discouraged because of the crappy job market for the last 5 years, they fall off the roles of those considered unemployed. Even though they still don't have a job, that's not considered being unemployed; therefore, you get these bogus unreal numbers.

I think we have been very civil about this topic. I am afraid, however, that you don't have any facts that will support your opinion, and that is why you are bowing out of this discussion. The facts are that the coach broke the rules, and the boys had to suffer because of it. Those are the facts.I wish the best to all the Beaumont boys today. I have no doubt they will be awesome! Good luck to all.

AMEN! No matter who you are or what team you pull for, you can't disagree with that message.

Lumberton did not force the Beaumont coach or coaches to break the rules even after they were reprimanded. The STJFL is made up of members of more than just Lumberton teams. I'm not agreeing or disagreeing of the disciplinary action that was initially taken, because I (like you I assume) were not in those meetings; however, the head coach present on the sidelines after being kicked out was plain for anyone to see. He did not care what happened by his blatant disregard for his suspension. He let the Bmt boys down. He also said quite clearly that everything is all about him. If he gave any consideration to the kids, he would have stayed away from the sideline. Instead, he gave away another win that those kids earned. I hope he is proud of himself. Unfortunately, people like you don't like to put the blame where it should be. If nothing had been done wrong, then the board would not have had any recourse. You need to reexamine who shares the blame in this issue. STJFL? Lumberton? The Coach? Ask this... Did the first two have anything to do with putting the coach on the sideline after he was suspended? No. That was his selfish decision.

I agree. It was not the kids fault. Once again I also say that the coaches had no regard for those boys. It was their selfish act that did it. If they hadn't given the board a reason to take action, then they would still have those wins. You can't start a fire without fuel. Coaches and players ALL have to adhere to the rules. We win as a team and we lose as a team. They cost their whole team to lose. I just wonder if they're going to keep putting themselves before the kids and break the rules time and again. We will see. Good luck to the Bmt boys. They are so much fun to watch!
