What is so amazing about the fact I picked this thread to speak my mind? Yes, I’ve only made 16 posts. What can I say other than I guess I’m just quiet. I’m also new in here…I don’t claim to know anything regarding 6-man football, any of the rivalries throughout the state/regions/areas/districts, whatever, nor any of the past arguments on this site, but I have read A LOT of the threads in here, and this particular one struck a nerve with me. I’ve actually been contemplating the last several days on what to say, if I should say anything, and when hornkeeper said what he said, I couldn’t help but agree.
It’s not jealousy driving my post at all. It was said that RS kids are dang good kids who played their hearts out and gave 100% and the problem is seeing them disappointed. I’m sure they are, I’m sure they did and I’m sure they were, but that’s life. My team also consists for dang good kids who played their hearts out and gave 100%, and we are on the right track, in my opinion, with our coaching staff, but we got outplayed by better teams plain and simple. Two of those teams, in fact, are still in the running, and I am glad for them. I think most people in here can argue that their teams consist of good kids who give their all.
To me, IMHO, the whole thread is just a little overdramatic. “The Coyotes will never die. They will go on and on.” Really? They lost a football game. It’s not the end of the world, so stop making it sound that way. And to those of you who may be thinking I have something against RS…I do not. I don’t even know where they are. Apparently they have been very successful over the past several years and that speaks volumes for their program…they should be proud of themselves just as their fans should be. I just feel that “Congratualtions, Calvert, on moving forward. Y’all played a great game. Better luck next time, RS…y’all played a great game as well and we are very proud of you” would have been a more sincere congratulatory rather than what was posted.
