Ok, it is sad to now read posts like this, sour grapes etc. when there were so many great Harlan fans who deserve to be acknowledged about the great attitudes they showed cooper fans before, during and after the game. No excuses were used, just two fan bases knowing they were two very good teams.

Now excuses are coming out and you having the gall to say the best team did not win. You didn't hear any Cooper fan saying before the game the fact that numerous of our starters were playing sick did you? Our rb's were throwing up with the flu as they got on the bus for the long ride down, our QB also under the weather as well as our best defenseman who was sick all week long, so don't give us excuses etc. you want to go that route then be thankful Cooper wasn't playing at 100% or close to it or it may have been even worse.

Now for all the other Harlan fans, I will repeat what I said earlier, you all were awesome and great hosts for a great game. I wish every place we travel we're as great as you all have been.

This post season we have been blessed with some great fans everywhere we've played. You all were awesome and I wish you all the best next year etc.

For those that choose to make excuses, please don't stoop to that level, every team can make excuses and it isn't very fitting.

I can promise you one thing, if you beat Bowling Green at WKU, I will be the first to congratulate your team. I know it will be a much better game than last year, but I hope not
