Well said. That's why I don't ever come here. Most are just a bunch of uniformed fans that like to sit in front of a computer after a game and complain about coaching and officiating. If you don't want to know the truth, then don't ask the questions and don’t complain.

Go ahead and talk about what Mack Brown is having for lunch. That seems to be the type of thing that would be an impetus for reasonable, unabated banter around this slum.

Seems to me that we could use some posters that actually know someting about hs football instead of haters who try to run off new posters.

The post #'s isnt the point i was trying to make it was people coming on here critcizing the moderators before they hit 20 posts. If you dont like it adios is what I say.

That's not true there pencil neck. We just don't like it when A-holes come running in here trying to tell us how to handle our business. Don't disrespect our moderators or our very friendly posters until you've had a chance to know them a little. We're not big on controversy and we're certainly not big on welcoming overbearing jerks. Your thread was closed. Leave it that way. We're sorry that the downlow isn't the PIG. It is what it is, if you don't like it just remember that we didn't invite you to our party. We won't ask you to leave unless you do something stupid but we certainly aren't holding you hostage either. The express exit is in the far top right hand corner of your screen. It is a box with a little "x" in the center of it.

I'd take the collective football knowledge of this board over almost any other board.
Can you bring up the name of a board where complaining or critiquing doesn't happen? Why would you generalize everyone here into two words, "uninformed fans"? It doesn't make sense why you would do that?:confused:

TexDoc

12-05-2006, 02:17 PM

My goal, as it has always been in posting on boards such as this, is to inform fans as to the rules of the game we love. I'm not talking from an uninformed position, so when someone closes the door on what I find to be THE most important topic in high school football, player safety, then I get a little bent out of shape.

If I find a group that doesn't wish to listen and learn the rules, and puts the discussion off as trivial, I tend to question the validity and value of even having a board such as this. Is it really here to discuss "who from your high school went on to play in the NFL," or "where's the next tailgate party?" Do those things really sound more important than what is and is not a facemask foul? Be honest!

Or, can a medium as great as this be used for good, quality discussions about how to keep players from spending the rest of their lives in a wheel chair?

The choice apparently belongs to the moderators. Their initial actions speak volumes. If you want discussions about who on the Cowboys is dating all the cheerleaders and not something a little more cerebral, then I’ll just move on.

Why can we not talk about rules and safety and not have it shut down?

I think it's the constant arguing back and forth that gets it shut down...not the initial post.

If you frequent the board for long, you'll see that this happens to other posts as well. Several folks on this board love a good discussion about player safety, rules, schedules (in the preseason especially) and some off topic stuff as well.

Nobody here is trying to play hardball. We welcome your input.

Just a word of friendly caution though. When in doubt, pm a moderator instead of calling them out. You'll get a much better response that way.:)

I have personally read many many threads that have discussed player safety and rules on this board. In fact I've seen it discussed over and over again. Just because the thread in which you were active in was shut down is no reason to belittle anyone on this board(much less the whole board). I find it fascinating that you, in a roundabout way, discount the good diversity of topics found on this forum. Why do you do this?:confused:
I ask this question because when it comes to this forum, I don't exactly come from an uninformed position?:nerd:
.
I, also have never understood this attitude that fans can't criticize refs or coaches. Where does that come from?

3). Do not engage in personal attacks.
Avoid name calling and the use of derogatory terms toward others. That attaches a personal flavor that most posters will find objectionable. Try reversing the roles and see how you would feel if someone said it to you. Avoid using people's real names in your posts. At 3A Downlow, we tend to frown upon posts that attack the integrity of school systems and coaches. We are not here to air personal vendettas.

Welcome aboard TexDoc ... there are some good rules discussions now and then in which a knowledgable voice would be appreciated. VAMike jumps on now and then, I'd say he's our resident rules expert. I'm sure he'd love some help!

TexDoc

12-05-2006, 02:49 PM

Now we're having a healthy discussion. Great!

I find discussion about rules and safety to be much more compelling, and important, than discussions about subjects to which I alluded to earlier. But, if those on this board find discussions about “who from your high school is in the NFL” to warrant greater importance, allowing discussions about rules and safety to be extinguished, then I will move on.

People I know well were being called out for tossing players and not throwing a flag on a perceived facemask penalty. That’s what motivated me. Those that felt like the players didn’t need to be tossed were uninformed and just flat out wrong. By rule, those player had to be tossed out, no discussion. The facemask no-call was more complicated and I wanted to make sure fans understand why it was not called. It was not something the officials missed, it was something that did not need to be flagged because it was not illegal.

How can you allow fans to blast officials and then not allow the officials to answer and explain and educate? That’s the main point here. That’s the informed position from which I come, 20 years of officiating. Does that not make me a bit of an expert on these subjects and quite well qualified to respond? If I were just a fan, with an opinion, I would understand the action.

I take criticism any time. But I would like hear questions first. Believe me, officials are harder on themselves, and other officials, then any fans or coaches ever are.

Thanks for letting me get that out. I think we can move on now.

txkmom, I saw that today for the first time. It disgusts me to see that type of thing. The more appropriate question is, what would the coach do?

I don't know anything about this video. If the officials saw this, I can assure you they would flag it and toss the player.

Do you know how many officials are used in high school games? How about college? More eyes = less chance a player would get away with this.

I still don't understand how you can go on other threads and question whether
they are valid or not for this forum and expect everyone to be ok with that. Regardless if folks here were calling out
those you know your actions on the other threads weren't justified and seem either arrogant or immature. Don't you think when you posted, "if I were just a fan" that that comes off a tad condescending?
.
Like I have mentioned before, topics on this forum have had their 3rd, 4th and even 5th run here and sometimes us regulars like having the ability to post about different things. If you don't like a certain topic then don't read it.

No condescension intended. My point is that fans are not rules experts. That’s all. Many think they are, and, thus, we have problems. The facemask ordeal is an example.

If I were simply a fan, you could question my rules knowledge.

Now, if I were to tell you the best place to sit or best meat to bbq before the game, I'd be out of line.

If I start spouting off about how this team needs to run this offense or why did they run this play, you have every right to question my knowledge on that subject. I’m not a coach.

Thanks for the welcome. We’ll get along swimmingly.

This was a Canyon HS game and the fouling player was not flagged as the act was not seen. One thing we try to beat into the heads of people like TexDoc and myself, is we NEVER have a time when we can relax during the game. Maybe during a timeout you can relax a bit but USC & UCLA proved last Saturday you can't even let you guard down then. For whatever reason the act was not seen and was not flagged. I trust the Chapter that worked the game was shown the tape and took some sort of action with the involved crew (at least with 3 main officials). I assure you if any ref I know had seen that act, a flag would be tossed, and the player ejected.

( I believe the team suspended the player for the next week's game)

Was there a call made on that play or an ejection? Thats was one of the most blatant things i have ever seen on a football field?

As much as I like this interesting thread (and I read it all).

Referees make mistakes too.

Fans see lots of fouls and bad calls because they are sitting higher up on the bleachers and have a pretty good vantage point.

However, That being said, the refs have the final say and get a lot of them right too.

The ones that bug me the most are when calls are consistantly made against one team and no the other. I.E. Holding being called consistantly againt one team when the other team is doing as much or more.

Also, refs can get hurt, anyone see the Liberty Hill/Rockdale game ( I think it was). Those refs took a beating on the field, not from the stands. I doubt I could have even got up form one of the hits.

My opinion is, as long as safety fouls are being covered well by the refs, and they call both teams evenly for the others, I am ok with it.

(Is this a can of worms?) I can see LHPM jumping all over me for this one.lol

I think what you're asking for is very reasonable and also what coaches ask for. Officials make mistakes all the time. To say that one call or no-call costs a team a game really doesn't hold much validity, but I won't get into that.

As I've always said, until Jesus comes back and wears the stripes, there will be errors in officiating. There is no perfectly officiated football game. We can always get better.

Why would I jump all over you? I think I'm the one that pointed out the "even calling" not too long ago. :p

If I were simply a fan, you could question my rules knowledge.

Now, if I were to tell you the best place to sit or best meat to bbq before the game, I'd be out of line.

If I start spouting off about how this team needs to run this offense or why did they run this play, you have every right to question my knowledge on that subject. I’m not a coach.

Thanks for the welcome. We’ll get along swimmingly.

Were you working the field Saturday? If so, I'd say you might have some knowledge on the best meat to bbq. :devil:
