Cubster,

They can not have him back!!

Cubster,

They can not have him back!!

And I really do not think he wants to go back.

Could be possible since NCC lost to Belfry from the so-called "weak" 2A class that Russell plays in.

 

That is actually a good point, takes some sting out of 2A is weaker at the top than 1A argument. It was at Belfry though, lets go with the officiating defense!!!

We arent a very good football team. We only play about 15-16 guys with 40 on the sidelines just watching. The coaches say we have alot of depth which is true but we dont use it. Ashland will start 0-3 and probably will only win 3-4 games.

Ashland seems to always find room for excuses in every sport when they fail. I'm a big basketball fan and they blame there losses on poor officials there, so that makes sense for them to make excuses in football also. No hard feelings to Ashland, they just need to learn to accept losses and put it behind them.

:irked: That is the type of attitude we DO NOT need. :irked:

Could you possibly try to make a more sweeping generalization about Ashland fans?

Exactly true GIAT!! Those are the same fans that want to follow the fire truck escort after a victory:lol: but are nowhere to found in time of need.

:sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: "Pot, meet the Kettle" - LOL, enough of this though, I may catch ya down the line in another thread sometime.

Dawg not all Ashland fans are like that, infact most on here have not given those excuses. I think that comes from that one of the most vocal ones amoung them happens to have a microphone in front of his pie hole :sssh: on game night. ALL schools have those type of fans that want to place the blame on anything,anyone and anywhere other than where it should be. They would rather say anything other than the truth which probably was they just got outplayed and were beaten. To just "excuse" it away imo sends a bad message to the kids and that they are telling them that it doesn't matter bc it is always someones else's fault that you got beat.

You are right cville, some of those years that I was thinking were before the expanded playoffs where more teams qualified and there was no per say semi final. Thank you for brining that up.:thumb: "I thought that I was wrong once but I was mistaken".:confused: :confused: :eek: :lol: :lol:

 

Something that the Ramblers should look at is that it may be a Baseball school year in year out. They compete with the big boys (without fire truck escorts) go about their business and are at the top of the region almost every year. The basketball team has been very competitive over the last 10 years. I believe that they won a district and their was no fire truck escort. I am glad that the fire departments of the two communities supported the kids and gave their appreciation. I am just an outsider looking in, but Raceland has allot of goods things going on and need to look at the big picture. Like TBF said, the focus needs to be on the BIG WINS, Fairview, LCA, Bath, Paris. Those teams allow you to reach your goal.

 

I hope the Raceland wins them all. Vanderhoof is a great guy and great coach. I know some the kids and their great hard working individuals. Keep the game in perspective.

Exactly true GIAT!! Those are the same fans that want to follow the fire truck escort after a victory:lol: but are nowhere to found in time of need.

 

 

That's why I felt comfortable making my point of view on the firetruck issue. I was at Nicholas Co., (Downtown Carlisle) when Raceland was 1-8 in 2000, supporting my Ramblers with only a few hardy comrades. :thumb:

Where are you all when the field needs painted ( which I have helped almost every week for the past 4 years and my father the other 3) or the senior flags put up, the cat heads put in the corner of the endzone. Also the last fire truck I followed was the one in 1990 and I was 9. I just dont think that our the tomcat fans can stand the truth ( which is that our football team isnt really good right now) and you all hope to much. I will be at the field to paint this week will you all???

bball I support ALL Raceland teams in ALL sports, boys and girls. You are correct in that the baseball team is a contender year in and year out usually. I think that the main problem there is that when tourney time rolls around in baseball that school is usually out. Word does not get around and lets face it, the paper does not cover baseball as well. I just don't see the big deal about the now infamous fire truck thing. The fire dept.'s of the two communities and members of these communities wanted to do it to show appreciation to the kids and coaches. I feel certain that the school itself did not organize this. GO RAMBLERS....................in ALL sports:thumb:
