If that's not your point , why make the comment if Johnson central cancelled it wouldn't be a issue ? And make the comment “no doubt they found a weaker opponent just like Raceland did when they scheduled sc" of course Raceland has a couple of weaker teams on their schedule who don't ? Im sure they will be fine as well but my point is .. It's a chicken shit move to buy out a game just bc you found a weaker team with a open date , they should honor their schedule

* If Johnson Central was the one who backed out, Raceland would probably be breathing a sigh or relief or at least nowhere near as mad due to the vegas odds pick that they would get their tails handed to them. Ever heard of Team A (Raceland) trying to find a game vs a common opponent w/ no luck, so they end up having to settle for somebody they'd truth be told rather not play? Sure you have. That would have more than likely been the feeling had it have been a Johnson Central backing out instead of Sheldon Clark.

* Raceland scheduled Sheldon Clark for one reason and one reason only: an automatic W.

* Sheldon Clark dumped Raceland for McCreary in hopes of the same outcome.

If this had been under the same coaching staff, I agree with your chicken scratch call. They should honor the schedule I totally agree. But, you have a new coach who had absolutely zero to do with this schedule, who is doing all that he can to help breathe some kind of hope into a program and a community who has literally hit rock bottom. So, if backing out of ONE of many likely tail kickings for a game where they have a legit shot at a 'W' is what the new coach feels like he needs to do, then so be it.

With all of that said, I totally understand why you and the rest of the Ram Nation are upset. I completely understand that.

I got told by a coach a long time ago when it came to scheduling opponents, especially those who are in the dumpster. Be careful about scheduling those kind of "gimme" games, because like most things in life, if it's too good to be true...then it more than likely is. Point being that if an opportunity comes along to play a weaker team such as themselves in the months to come (contract or not), then the chances of them pulling the trigger are high.

Raceland and Sheldon Clark are on two different planets right now. You said it, every team has cupcakes on their schedule...but, Sheldon Clark isn't even in the oven for baking right now.

Best of luck to both. I'm a fan of both programs from about as far away as anybody writing about both could be.
