Back in my day we played "Kill the man with the ball." We didn't have any of this protective equipment, or clear grass fields. We played in vacant lots or cow pastures. You'd either get staph infection from the rebar and broken glass, or you'd be urinating down your leg to take care of the bull-nettle you'd run through every ten yards. We didn't need any refereeeeees or scoreboards or any sense of restraint. Flobble-de-flee! We'd knock the holy #### out each other, get broken bones and concussions that led to brain damage, then years later we'd act like morons on message boards! That's the way it was and WE LIKED IT! Mann I hear ya. Personally, I think the older generations complain more than anybody. It’s always a “back in my day” or “we used to do it like this” or some BS. I get it. You had to carry the bus to school not the other way around . Personally, I’m glad this is happening. Back in 2015 Lufkin folks got stranded, parents, fans, and the busses full of players, cheerleaders, band, etc. over trying to drive to Ennis on a Friday night to play in what was dang near a hurricane. All to end up flipping a dang coin to see who wins a DISTRICT GAME. That’s absurd. But hey, that’s the older generation of geniuses for ya. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the rescheduling is also to get a head start on next week, especially for the Thursday playoff games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoEagles Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Ya know, it is what it is. If 2 coaches are cool with moving it, who cares? It’s dumb for us to argue about. No point in it. We all love this sport and we all care about our kids and their safety. It’s whatever. Keep everyone safe. I love rain games and always enjoyed playing in the rain. Don’t want anyone to get hurt in lightning. Not worth it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s overreacting to reschedule the game to Thursday .... the chances the "storm" would come early and the game have to be cancelled are minimal ....

Bears8T9 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 9 hours ago, SilkyJohnson said: So coaches shouldn't try and put their programs in the best possible chance to be successful, both in current and future weeks, because old men on smoaky think that it makes them look soft, entitled, and weak? It is easy for us all to say what should and shouldn't happen from behind a keyboard. But the outcomes of the games do not effect us. They do affect them. They are the ones who have to answer questions about wins, losses, personnel, etc. They are the ones whose job security is determined by on the field success. They want their programs to have success. They aren't moving games because of the kids. THEY ARE MOVING GAMES FOR YOUR KIDS (grandkids, etc). They want them to be as successful as possible. Also it is kind of weird that you want them to run around in dresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
