Tell me some specifics on why you believe this. (serious)

Finally! A non biased post from someone who was at the game. I'm a diehard Purple fan, but I'm not blind. I've never been around a game like that.

Oh, by the way, that McCallie team that beat us by 1 point last week, demolished Ensworth tonight 62-34. The same Ensworth team that beat Trinity 21-14 in the season opener.

Bowling Green is still the cream of the crop in KY.
Have been for the past 5 years.

Listen to blackman's coach on the Saturday after the game. Watch the game film and see the coaches behavior as they leave the field at halftime. Watch him on the sidelines. He's more concerned with officiating than coaching. Watch coach Haywood, Coach Hilton; Coach Smith; even Coach Wallace they concern themselves very little with officiating they coach their team.

Man, you guys have selective purple memory. Halftime run-off starts at about 7:00. What do you see?

I saw a coach and a team think they were going to run over our little old Kentucky team and got mad when they couldn't push us around (see flags thrown). They don't take losing very well. Their fans are the worst I've ever seen. It's been over a year and they can't let it go. I can't post on any board without a disgruntled fan still trying to make a point. I don't really care and will never mention that game again. By the way, did you see McCallie beat Ensworth by 35...

Really don't have a dog in this fight, but what did you want us to see? I'm not sure.

I thought there were some pretty bad calls against Blackman a few times in the game. But I also thought there were some players for them that seemed more intent on making a "show" than just playing ball.

Just what I saw.

(BTW, the worst penalty was the call on the TE breaking huddle and asking the ref to move over so he could get to the line. That was an official who doesn't need to wear the stripes again.)

I was talking to Mountaineer Man. Not you.

It was said that Blackman made a scene at halftime. I was asking the poster to point out what he saw on film that gave him that conclusion. He said to check the film. I did.

Listen, I'm not disgruntled about the outcome of the game. I remain disappointed that the officials chose to punish our kids because their brand of play is more spirited than what they traditionally are accustom to.

I also am disappointed in the numbers of BG fans who have attacked our kids and program bandwagon with little knowledge of what exactly happened. Most of us were all sitting in the same grandstands watching the same game. It certainly was easy for many to defend the action of the referees by criticizing our kids and coaches.

Then the true die-hards defend the decision to cancel the game in TN. Whatever.

I'm just waiting for someone to prove the allegations that /were/are being levied against our kids. :please:

And this ^^^ :notworthy

There were a lot more flags thrown against Blackman and McCallie, than were thrown against Bowling Green. It's not our teams fault. Blackman's coach publicly ridiculed our coach and administration on a radio show the next day. Anybody can blame it on the referees, when they lose. Why does everyone blame the us for their interpretation of the rules? I still think the game was won on the field by the kids that played the game. Fans need to stay out of it.

That's not true. I just listened to it again. He didn't say a word about the coach or the administration.

Like I said, it's sure convenient for some BG fans to manufacture excuses for bad-mouthing our kids and program.

That was the 2nd radio show he was on that day and he does talk about our coaching staff! The dude was mad and said some things he shouldn't have said. Our coach probably said some things he shouldn't have said. Shoulda, coulda, woulda... The game was won on the field. No amount of excuses will change the outcome. I guess was robbed, but it couldn't have happened to a more deserving team.

Care to back up that assertion with facts?
