I think that it's pretty crappy for you to try to bring down Smithville's team. They may be going through hard times, but those guys have always played with a lot of heart, desire, and class. Even the top teams in the state don't have those qualities.

It hasn't been so long ago when the Tigers were in the mix for district. They will rebuild. Meanwhile, as BBDE says, let's cut them some slack. It's tough enough for kids to practice and play football without the negative stuff and ridicule. :(

Dude, quit trying to play "martyr". Why are you always so "holier than thou"? That whole "we bust our butts" routine makes you sound like an old man who went to school uphill both ways. Find a sense of humor! Geez!

Pudlugger, ditto! The truth is not all teams play everyone "tough". The people in Smithville could probably care less what people think. Otherwise, they'd win more than 1.5 games a year against private 2A schools.

It' real easy to talk nicey-nice about teams you know you'll always beat. Give Smithville one good season when they threaten either La Grange or Rockdale or Caldwell for that matter, and all of a sudden, people accuse THEM of trash talking.

I put it a simple post as a joke --- a J-O-K-E, and you get your panties in a wad.

No, no martyr, just optimistic and trying to be supportive of teams, primarily Rockdale. You try to take down a team that has hit rock bottom, but I guess it is wrong of me to try to stand up for them. Don't try to make me look bad because you're inconsiderate and think you're so great because you can get on a message board and talk trash about a group of HS students playing football.

HEEEEEEERE you go again with your "high school kids" argument. THis chatroom was not engineered exclusively for high school kids. There are far more people on plant Earth who enjoy football than just YOU. YOUR coach should at Rockdale should have forbade YOU from getting on here.

You take things WAY too personal.

There, I guess you feel lots better now.

I'm not taking things personally, I just think that people who get on a message board and try to talk down on HS kids need to get a life and grow up. This message board was not made simply for you to get on here and get your kicks trying to demean the accomplishments or highlight the failures of HS athletes. Also, if you had been around here long enough, you would have realized that I never posted anything on here during football season. As I said before, you need to have a little tact when posting, just because it's not against the rules to say something doesn't mean that you should.

You're right, I do have a lot of school pride. Through the good times and the bad times I will support my alma matter. From the way it sounds, you're one of the guys who leaves when your team falls a little behind or doesn't go and watch when they're is having a bad year...

I wouldn't say with class I've had my ankles twisted and eyes gouged so many times by Smithville defenders.

They took a huge turn for the better our senior year under a new coaching staff. I remember the days when they were like that, though.

dude...dude...I think it was painfully clear that he was poking fun at Gilmer. If you missed that point...then maybe you should stop reading so in depth into everything and instead read it AT FACE VALUE. It was humorous because there are 1 or 2 threads a day talking about Gilmer winning state.

IT WAS A JOKE! Nothing more! Gilmer happens to be ranked #1 and it was meant to be a harmless joke. Smithville people are cool. They eat their Wheaties and take showers daily. La Cabana rocks! They excel in other areas! End of story!

Yeah, and I don't read those threads, but I understood that point after it was brought to my attention. I don't make my life all about the Downlow and read random threads that don't appeal to me.

I don't know about how classy Smithville is, there have been numerous times they played some of the dirtiest football ive ever seen.

Yeah, in the past they were, but last year when we played them, I was impressed with the turnaround. The new coach is building a new attitude in those guys that many people have yet to realize.

Yes true, their coach is a very classy guy and is trying to change things. When you come into a school that had a football program that is pretty much non existent with a bunch of mixed up people that kind of thing will happen. I feel bad for Smithville, they never have a chance and never get an ounce of respect. They had some good guys that played for them, but they also had some trash also. You cant blame the whole team for a few guys though.

I'll agree with that, but every team has a player who reflects poorly upon his/her teammates. However long he is on the team is determined by the coaches, however.

I know I had a poor work ethic and everything but when it came to Friday nights I was a total team player. Especially after a loss and people would tell you you played a hell of game and bring up how many catches or yards I had my reply would be to them. "That s-word doesn't matter we lost the game. You play to win the game you don't play for yourself." Hell last year you could take away all my stats and give us more wins and I would have been more happy with wins than stats.
