I am not one who likes to start an arguement but I saw something last night that was yellow. While I was in the stands last night I witnessed a Half-Time show which only showed the true colors of the home team. The home student body hung three drawings of Rangers and had three students from the home crowd come down the home crowd with water guns filled with paint, shoot (paint) the Rangers. The bad part of it came when the young man you was introducing the game turned to the visiting side and say that the object was to paint the Rangers their true color, yellow, which means coward. It's called sportmanship, which SOME of this crowd had very little of considering they had a creed painted on their home gym walls, one was for students, and I believe one of them was No yelling (saying) of negative sayings. I am not saying sportmanship is a lost art form, however this team had none if this was allowed. Little side note, the cowards we are, beat them in their home gym!

It doesn't surprise me in the least Green Ranger. After what I have witnessed over the past couple of years, it is par for the course. As a matter of fact I made a post on this very board season before last about it!

During basketball season my junior year we went to Crane for a district basketball game and they had hung in effigy the image of one of our best players in football. The next year in football we beat them 41-7 (could have been worse). What comes around goes around with that type of behavior.

It was a long time ago when Roger Stauback was a sophomore at Navy in college football and he was a great player then and was the starting qb for Navy. Army Coach Paul Dietzel had an effigy type image of Stauback and at practice had his defensive linemen hit and attack it to fire his players up. On game game there was an unfortunate thing - that Roger Stauback ran and passed and dodged and cut and was very mobile and Navy whipped Army that year.

GREEN RANGER, first of all as kids acting crazy in the stands and stuff like that is allright, but for kids to go to the opponents side and taunt them is horrible, im suprise no administrators at the ballgame stopped them, are you talking about the game in kermit or did this happen somewhere else.

Yeah...where were the admimistrators at this game?? If that had happened at our school, all involved would have been escorted out to the highway.....off school property. Shame on what they did...I am sorry you as visitors had to endure such rudeness!

Would that be as bad as Caldwell tearing down the goal post because they made the playoffs?

This was at Kermit and it was at half time, to more or less kill time. Administrators were there, including Coach Purser whom shortly after this occured he went over and talked to one of their coaches. On his way back to our side he got alot of cheers and couple people stood to applaud him. Stuff like this I can see being done at a Pep-Rally but to do it and call the opposing team cowards is un-heard of in my opinion. I am all for talking trash but when it comes down to it the true talking is down with the actions on the court and or field. This is not to everybody at Kermit cause their are alot of people in Kermit who are good people, but to act that cocky and not walk the talk, is yellow! Greenwood has taken care of Kermit on the field and on the court for the most part. While this is a topic, to come in play your own music and kick end zone markers and not turn off music during our parents night during football. I know regardless of the outcome, should it have been we lost, Coach Purser and his staff would have been the first to say good game to the other side. Point, to Kermit if you are going to put guidelines up in your gym walls follow them!

Caldwell tearing down the goal posts did nothing to the other team. It was our field and it was not meant in some secret hint to offend the other team. It was just plain excitement. Now if they had done that at another team's field, then yes... that would be extremely rude and wrong but it wasn't.

Thats pretty low. I guess when Greenwood kicks your tail in everything, you get a sour taste in your mouth.
