[Possum Bait]

Some people really crack me up. The post below was probably made by a well intending fellow, but honestly don't we have enough BS political correctness in this country without extending it to the football field.

What ever happened to just telling the truth? Sports are about winning and losing? Teams that do not prepare properly, lose. Teams that do not hit hard, lose. These are the lessons of sport .

Not for "Gods Sake" a wimpy lesson like you guys did your best out there. Keep up the good work and maybe we will win next time. Just go have some fun. Football is about work and dedication to a common cause not "fun". Please let me puke, I need to puke to wash the taste of the sickening "everyone should feel good about themselves" lies out of my mouth.

If a kids confidense is shattered because someone, especially an adversary, says something negative about them, then the kids coaches are not doing a good job.

Negative coments by opponents should inspire and motivate kids to go get some behind. It is a hellaciously tough world outside the high school halls. The last thing this country needs is more cry babies in the world.

Many of these same kids will be in Iraq or Afganistan within a year. We are doing them a disservice by not giving it to them straight.

If you want to win, you have to do more than want to win, and you have to be way more than committed. To win, you have to beat committed people that want to win. You have to exceed the norm.

I listed my sons team as the worst hitting team, I have seen this year. I tell him that all the time and I would tell his coaches that. They are flat out a soft team and their pitiful record reflects their softness.

The "Truth" that will stand till the end of time is

"If you are getting beat by other schools that are close to your school in size or smaller than your school, on a consistant basis, you are not working hard enough, your teammates are not working hard enough and your coach is probably not very good".

"Threads like this serve only one purpose, and that purpose is to allow kids (and adults) to put the kids from other teams down. By not callling out individual names, which I'm sure rivals would delete, you instead put down every kid on these teams. I for one applaud every player on every team in the state!! It takes hard work and dedication, especially if you are on a losing team, to come out every Friday night and fight for their schools and communities. All the kids from these teams that have been listed on this thread, hold your heads high work hard, and deliver some hits!!! "
