Enlighten you ok, I have no problem with questioning calls made by referees but Boyle fans were screaming obscenities on every call. Not only were they screaming profanities at the refs but also towards some corbin players. Many Boyle fans were raising h*** claiming they were getting homered, yet if you look at the stats about the same amount of calls went each way. And not only did Boyle not sub down up 42-10 but instead of taking a knee with under a minute Boyle is still running plays (I dont have a huge problem with this). My problem was with the fans still raising h*** chanting "put it again coach". I was inaccurate earlier as to say most of Boyle fans when in reality it was a group of about 20 middle age people causing all the problems. Not to mention there was a problem with Boyle's camera man in the press box not being professional. "They can't beat us so they got to cheat us", "Ref you Suck", and talk about corbin paying off officials when you are up 30+ points, seriously? Is that the kind of fans your program is normally affiliated with? Maybe I just was taken off guard, because I went to this game to watch a semi-local team (corbin) and team with great championship tradition (boyle), but left disappointed in the fact that many of your fans had no class. I too was sitting in the visitor stands near the top right of the stands wearing my kentucky blue and I'm sorry but either you weren't there or you just don't want to own up to your fellow rebel fans actions or your own. No knock on your football program, like I stated earlier your football program is very impressive and I would love to watch them play again, but I don't think you could pay me to sit with your crowd ever again.

I am the film crew of which you speak. I take offense with the obsenity comment, as not a foul work was spoken. I did call the referees "Homers" and stated that the calls were "crap". Maybe you are easily offended. But when you are invited to a bowl and the referees seem to have been pulled from a local drinking establishment, it tends to anger the invited team. A bogus intentional grounding call on the Rebels was bad enough, but when the officials decided to wave off the same call on the home team, I felt the desire to express my frustration. I was unaware that it was prohibited for fans to express their joy or frustration at a football game. Perhaps at Corbin, only the home team is allowed to show emotion. I did see the Corbin coach on the field expressing his displeasure with the officiating. I guess he is allowed since he coaches the home team. As for the fans wanting to "stick it in at the end of the game," I think that is a result of having it stuck to them during the previous three and a half quarters. Johnson Central thought we had great fans. Bell County seems to think we are OK. So it must not be an eastern Kentucky thing. Get over it!!! :1:
