Football gone wild!

G'day Everyone.

Here it is, another football games of Friday night High School, Saturday's college games, and Sunday's NFL games to happen.

But when you consider Friday night High School football, check out one school in Florida that made the Yahoo news page:

You tell me if MERCY existed in this coach or not. It was clear to me that last year his team was beaten. This year he was all bent out for revenge and ignored the "mercy rule". In my opinion he was just insane. I'm in hopes that his athletics director does one thing first before the school board calls him in a meeting: Take him out of the game for the rest of the high school football season before the parents decides to withdraw their kid. There's no way this coach can explain his spin on the game. He's out of a job before he knows it.

No coach should try to drive the score up so far high and beyond. Not even in college. It should have been an excessive penalty for it. Once you get beyond the first 40 points and 1/4 of way through 3rd quarter, the coach that is very ahead ought to stop the game for a *GAME PAUSE* and ask the coach of the losing team to officially conclude the game. It would demonstrate good sportsmanship and kindness to show for the other team.

But no, coaches are POWER MAD that want to win and win hard. They'll do anything to beat the other team that they lost to before. Even a new team they're playing.

Coaches ought to remember one thing, if you rub in the previous losing year on your rival coach, expect revenge and to be wiped out. Yes, it does happen in High School, College, and NFL games often.

Meanwhile, PSU is considering that they might rename Beaver Stadium to the Joe Paterno stadium. And you know, that's a proper honor for a man that has lead the PSU teams for many years through the good and bad games. Paterno has built a legacy that will be unmatched for ages to come. The next coach of the PSU would have very hard shoes to fill. But hopefully, PSU will win one more ROSE BOWL Trophy for PA JOE! They should have a good game this weekend.

The mighty Bisons of GU are in Vermont this weekend and playing against Mount Ida College. Will the Bisons win this week and improve 2-1 or fall to 1-2? Only the football will tell. GO BISONS!

So, as I'm watching the football games on the 'net and tv from my arm chair (and quarterbacking the quarterback), I expect the coaches to tell their team to play for respect, sportsmanship, and honor. They should enjoy the game they play because they are in it. But any coach that uses this game for revenge upon the other coach, I would petition that school to remove him and install the one that plays with respect and honor.

As another great fall weekend begins, Semper FI!

Update: I wanted to stick this in here to show that one such school does desire to show mercy for a losing team, just because of a SPECIAL kid with Special needs wants to play football. This is the BEST STORY ever for a high school football game. Please read:
