I know you say your old but have a little fun....smack talk is part of the game.....

I prefer to have class, and that has nothing to do with age.

The way I look at it, when you step on that field, when you walk on that sideline, when you sit in those stands, you represent the Belfry Pirates. Same is true when you post online as a member of the Pond Creek Nation. In all those instances, we should all represent with class and pride. Many before us have built the tradition of excellence and it demands that we continue to carry it on, because we are all Pirates for life, and that means something. At least to me it does.

If I walk on that field, or sideline, or stands or post on a website, and my actions make a jackass of myself, then it reflects badly on the whole Belfry Pirate family and I have tarnished that image. So I'm going to say no thanks if "having fun" comes at that price, I am not interested. I will leave the smack talk to those less mature or those who don't quite understand what it means to represent the Belfry Pirates with class.
