Well, I enjoyed the threads regarding all the things that go in to making up a good HS Football Game... Player, Band Members, Boosters Clubs, Cheerleaders, etc. Many of the comments I read were from football players and they were distinctly different from the non-player posters' comments.
So, this week's poll question comes from a long-standing debate that will exist as long as Friday Night Lights continue to burn... Do you only truly understand the game by playing it?
Please take the time to come back and post here after you vote. I would love to hear the comments on this topic.
As always, the poll closes before kickoff on Friday.
Now, on to Last week's results. It was a good week for the poll. 35 Downlow members responded to the question, "How do you stop trash talking on the field?" Here is how they voted...
15 folks (43%) Said that the best way to stop trash talking on the field is to AGGRESSIVELY penalize the team with Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalties. (15 yds for first offense and each thereafter).
8 folks said to go after the individual players with progressive discipline.
2 folks said to combine both of these approaches.
10 folks (nearly 30%) said to forget it. You cannot stop trash talking.
I found it a really interesting mix of voting. I would have guessed most would have wanted the individual approach.
Thanks for voting,
