These Blackman people are really sad. No wonder their kids acted the way they did. These "adult" fans can't accept reality. There's a twenty page thread about this game on a Tn. message board. I was at the game with a very good view. As the teams were leaving the field at halftime, our coach was jawing the refs and the Blackman coach came over and said something that our coach didn't like and they had a few words. The Blackman players leaving the field started yelling and barking and started towards our bench and stands. Their coaches finally got them off the field. That changed the whole atmosphere of the game. They looked more like a street gang than a football team. Many people were worried it was going to get ugly and it did when the 3rd quarter started. The officials had to get control of the game and Blackman and their coach were extremely slow to comply. It took 6 unsportsmanlike conduct flags ect... to get control of the game. After that, the rest of the game was great football. Blackman tried to turn it into a backyard brawl. Our guys maintained their cool and won the game. I'm sorry if their little Jimmy couldn't control their tempers and it cost them the game. It would be a great lesson for those Blackman kids, but their coach and daddy's won't let them accept any responsibility for their actions.

So it's perfectly acceptable for "your" coach to jaw/curse the officials, but if the Blackman coach comes over, that is unacceptable. The Blackman players were barking because they were being rained down on with "N" words and m'effers. How do you think most 16-17 year old boys would react. Those were your fans and daddys that were doing that. Please show me on the film where anybody tried to turn it into a backyard brawl? Was it where they hit our QB twice out of bounds and had the BG team and coaches cussing him? Was it where there was a BG player on top of our QB/FS shoving his head in the dirt long after the play was over right in front of an official? It WAS a great lesson. Sometimes things don't go your way, and sometimes people will do what they can to keep you from succeeding.

First example should have been called. It doesn't matter if the defender stumbled or not; it doesn't matter if it was intentional or not. Both hits on the QB were while the QB was OB and a penalty should have been called.

As for the second example, I sincerely hope that the penalty was called for something other than the Blackman player brushing the ref. Something had to have been said. Or else that was a terrible call by the white hat.

Sorry to break it to you, but nothing was said! They told our coaches it was for "contact with an official".

On CoachT they are up in arms over the ejections. They want the THSAA to investigate and overturn all the ejections so the won't miss any playoff action. Its a disgrace on KY football and we will get whats coming to us.

Guess what? There were no ejections. Some Blackman fan made that up and the whole state of Tennessee went running with it. Just like the Lie they are telling about only having (4) 15 yard penalties all year because they are choirboys.

Unfortunately you are mistaken, and unfortunately I highly doubt the TSSAA does anything about it. There hasn't been an appeals process for these things in the past.

And yes, we have only had 4 15 yarders all year, and 2 of those were off-setting.
