Glad to see the Cardinals headed in the right direction, after the next two weeks we should be.

Just talked to a few of the college kids yesterday they asked me if i wanted fries with that
 
 
 

"Their horn was louder than ours." "We don't even try until the playoffs start." "We're a smaller school." "Our two best players were injured and didn't dress out."  "We had ride a school bus all of the way there and back, when we should have had charter buses."
 
Just doing my part to keep the purple tradition of making excuses alive AND fresh.  

Liberty turns over on downs. Long Draper run sets up a cardinal TD. 35-7 BC with :14 in the third. 

Am I the only person that believes #plusone would have a totally different opinion if it was his kid getting his helmet ripped off and then suffered a career ending injury or even died in "the heat of battle?" You get unsportsmanlike for a late hit. A facemask. Not ripping off another players helmet and beating him with it. People that share #plusone's opinion are a major contributor to the rise of the attacks.

This subject is so ridiculous it warrants having the thread deleted.

First of all, I'm not sure how old the rest of y'all are, but I'm in my forties.  I can promise you that when I was growing up, NOBODY would have considered attacking a ref for any reason, period.  Secondly, people from my generation or at least the part of the world where I grew up would consider kids like these the biggest fematalia(s) in the whole world for ganging up on another person, period.  Think about it.... when you were kids, you would NOT want to be one of the guys that was part of a group that attacked another guy from behind.  It just showed fear and weakness on the part of the attackers.... In today's culture, not only is the gang-attack mentality accepted, we study the "instigation" to try and place blame on the guy that got jumped.  It's a sad reflection on today's youth and the lack of parenting that they have received. 
 
Next, the whole "racial slur" excuse is ridiculous.  Is that word offensive?  It seems like it would be.  However, when everybody from the President of the United States to athletes to rap artist use the term without any condemnation from the masses, but a ref throwing it around (allegedly) is justification for a gang attack?  Really?  I blame the race pimps that try to teach kids that there is a difference between "killer" and "killa" based on the color of the speaker's skin.  It's like saying the f-bomb is only offensive when spoken by a virgin, who has no idea what the word actually means.  When everybody gets together and says "hey, look.... either it's offensive or it's not" then people can move forward.  I'm willing to bet that both of these two thugs (errr.... can use that one anymore- I mean "misguided youths"), have ipods full of the same "racial slur" that they are accusing this ref of using.... as if that's any type of defense.  
 
The behavior is unacceptable, inexcusable, and deserves the harshest of punishments.  There is no defense that justifies a coordinated, group attack on an unsuspecting person.   Period.  Condemning their actions on the internet does nothing to stop this type of behavior, or prevent copycat attacks.  Harsh punishment might.

Left Winger???.........laughable.........go to the political forum and see arguments there.
Bottom line is, kids like these that lose it in "the heat of the moment" end up being the ones on TV 15 years from now for beating their wife because she argued with him and "in the heat of the moment" he lost it and beat the crap out of her. Or he is the one beating his kid in the Walmart parking lot on a video because the kid was crying because he/she wanted a toy but "in the heat of the moment" he lost it and started slapping them around. If, lord forbid, there is a slap on the wrist for this attack.......there will be more of it if the kid thinks they can get away with it.

If you go back and listen to that song, Kenny locked the door and got after the whole gang by himself..... He didn't have to gang up with his boys and jump somebody from behind.  "We'll wait until the next play when he's not paying attention, and I'll hit him high.... you go low!  Let's go!!!!!!!"  Secondly, it's not stereotyping to condemn a violent attack on a unsuspecting and defenseless person.  Thirdly, "turning the other cheek" refers to Jesus's teachings to this disciple as what to do once someone has struck your cheek first.  These kids didn't decide not to "turn the other cheek...." they chose to attack somebody who hadn't physically done anything to them.  Fourth, it's seems to be pretty stereotypical on your part to defend these kids actions based on the type of environment that they were raised in without knowing anything about them.  These kids were failed by parents, coaches,friends and communities that are too quick to defend and justify behaviors that are logically indefensible.

BC just got beat.... period.  Dubois' gameplan to throw the ball early wasn't a bad idea, it just wasn't successful.  Lumberton WAS vulnerable to the passing attack, but we just didn't capitalize.  Lumberton's lines (D&O) simply pushed our lines around.  BC turned the ball over on downs several times.  There was a BC turnover right at the goal line, but then Lumberton went three and out... our punt returner #8 returned the ball back to about the five, and we eventually scored a touchdown.  It was a turnover, but not costly.  Lumberton held us on two consecutive go-ahead drives in the fourth, and then forced a BC fumble on the final series.  Lumberton did what they needed to do and EARNED that victory.  BC didn't shoot themselves in the foot.  They showed up for the gunfight without a pistol.
 
My opinion is that BC got ahead of themselves and greatly underestimated what turned out to be a Lumberton team that had two weeks to prepare for us, and they were ready.  Not wanting to make excuses, but BC just wasn't ready to play.  This game was picked as the "game of the week" by both local TV affiliates, and it wasn't because of Lumberton's 1 pt win over Hamshire-Fannett.  The whole thing took on an atmosphere of "we can't be beat" instead of "I believe we can win." There was a 5:15 am Pep Rally on Friday morning.  That's right.... up at four-thirty on gameday to be at the school for a pep rally and interviews.  There was another pep rally that afternoon which featured a hot-dog eating contest for some of the O-line.  
Coach Dubois tried to get his players out of the 5AM pep rally, but no dice.   I believe that the kids got a (much needed) wake-up call in an otherwise meaningless game, and luckily nobody got hurt.  Dubois will make the necessary adjustments and we'll be back in business shortly.

Pretty much spot on. BC should have a great year this year. This year's team and last year's team are completely different based on their games with Lumberton. They are a very disciplined, scrappy bunch. Good luck to the Cards this year. They will make some noise in district. Both cities are lucky to get a couple good coaches this year that also happen to be hometown boys.

The visiting team instigated the thievery by using racial slurs. 

the refs didn't cost y'all the forty points Eagle fans were predicting themselves to win by. Stop embarrassing yourselves.  

If school administration doesn't act decisively, then yes, I would say that all of the refs should refuse to call their other games. 
Two players were previously kicked out of the game prior to this assault... You can understand a kid losing it.  Two kids, maybe.  But you have these two attacking a ref, plus whatever offenses resulted in the other two kids being ejected.  Seems to be an out-of-control tream.... It makes me wonder if the coach has any control over his team at all, or they are a reflection of him.  When administration comes back with a statement that promises to "investigate what instigated the incident/" Well.... I don't expect much good to come from that administration, coach, or "other football players" either. 
I guess I grew up in a different world, where there was no excuse or "instigation" that would have justified a blindside "gang" attack on an official.
