Welp, this will be the 5th year in a row I'm dragging my ass to the local POS high school teams game.

Coach is worthless.

Coach is the head of the Union. 4 years 8 total victories. It's like pulling teeth

by **tTy** Thu 27 Aug 2015 - 11:51

Brings this to mind...

"That's a dang coaching mistake...the kids are playing their tail off, and the coaches are screwing it up!"

Dwags any chance you could consult this bone head?

Just drink before/during and enjoy some football

by **Giant Moose** Thu 27 Aug 2015 - 12:06

Easy solution. Get yourself banned by being one of those crazy parents that yells a lot and acts like a fool.

by **DWags** Thu 27 Aug 2015 - 12:21

I just sit and silently suffer. Daughters were in the dance team now just one is. The older one used to get pissed the younger doesn't care. I quit caring. Oldest used to yell to me "he's in a fricken gap 8 in the goal line dad!" Youngest could give a rip. Neither can I. I saw Dakota up by 49 points at half against us once.

I'm going to a HS game tonight too. Sophomore cousin is starting at tailback after lighting up JV last year as a freshman. Really excited for him.

by **Vlad** Thu 27 Aug 2015 - 12:44

Sounds like that coach needs to be fired. Twisted Evil

I, on the other hand, live in the Mecca of HS football, but still haven't made it to a single game yet. That's gonna change this fall! Heck, a national powerhouse school plays right in my backyard!

Or just take your pants off and pee off of the bleachers.

Or show up naked covered entirely in body paint of the team colors.

A benefit of my youngest graduating was not feeling duty bound to attend his high school's games. He liked to go because a lot of his friends from basketball and baseball played on the football team.

With him at MSU I get together with the father of one his basketball teammates and we choose 6-7 games we want to attend. This week its EGR vs GR Catholic Central

by **Tim Wakefield** Thu 27 Aug 2015 - 13:41

GRR, what district are you in if you don't mind me asking?

by **tGreenWay** Thu 27 Aug 2015 - 14:04

Don't answer, GRR! You have a stalker!

Kent County O-K conference is close enough

With 6 divisions there is usually at least a couple of good games every week. 5 years ago who would have thought we'd ever see a Zeeland West - Zeeland East rivalry be competitive

I'd love to pick games in the area. Clarckston Dakota tonight. But I'm going to watch a 2 minute dance at half. Team has sucked for years. Fuck.

Cool. I played in the OK Black when it was newly formed.

Been asked by the ad. Nope. Done. My coaching days were a decade ago. If you don't have the desire or energy you're ripping off the kids. Like this guy. I at least know I don't I'm just that critic in the stands now.

by **Wally Fairway** Thu 27 Aug 2015 - 14:32

Ooooh 5 years, you should get a participation trophy.

I think I'm going on 8 or 9 years, though the local team typically makes the playoffs for one or two games.
Tonight will be a great night, right about 68 degrees at kickoff....much better than October and November games

I've got this year and two more after. I pretty much guarantee you they never sniff the playoffs.

It's brutal to watch. Or maybe our team just sucked, Wakefield?

I don't mind good HS ball. But it's hard to find. And for five years I've despised watching it.

It's easy. I know exactly what they should have done right after they run a play. I know it's pussy, but at least I admit it and understand I don't have that desire or energy to coach. Y

I think the team from my high school was probably near the top for the conference, so I guess we were good. I thought the games sucked. I just remember it being a good time to socialize/hang out.

The worse high school sporting event is the wrestling meets. Bunch of dudes rolling around and grinding each other on a mat. Not my scene.

Your older daughter is qualified to write for 247. Your younger daughter probably is too.

Fuck. Losing 14-0 in the second quarter. I want to drink but I have to get up early and move the eldest to her dorm in EL. Sober, watching shitty football. Kill me

by **Tim Wakefield** Thu 27 Aug 2015 - 19:52

Up 30-6 in the 2nd. Might be outta here soon. 2nd stringers already in

Cracking open a beer for you dude. Here's to hoping for some better high school football for you.

by **Tim Wakefield** Thu 27 Aug 2015 - 21:28

Wow I can't imagine what it'll be like when my own kid is playing. My cuz fumbled and I felt like i got stabbed Welp, this will be the 5th year in a row I'm dragging my ass to the local POS high school teams game. 502811600

Ended up with 100ish yards on 6 carries with a TD and a fumble. Good win.

by **Tim Wakefield** Fri 11 Sep 2015 - 22:49

Cousin went for 170ish and 3 TDs tonight according to my uncle Welp, this will be the 5th year in a row I'm dragging my ass to the local POS high school teams game. 3493939353
