Zuberer = wrong

Beatty = wrong

Lucas = right

 

Agreed!

 

This all boils down to adults not being able to act as adults.

 

^^^Amen. And now we turn the page...

Most on here know nothing of the 2 timeouts Manual called with less than 1 minute remaining when T was trying to take a knee in victory formation the first time they played! Manual kept their 1s in to try to score against Trinity's 2s (which they did by throwing deep), then kicked an onside kick with less than a minute to play (down 42-7), THEN called the two time outs when T was taking a knee!. I still disagree 100% with what Beatty did, but there IS a bigger story. Add to that the cheap shots Manual players were throwing when they knew their season was over and I guess Beatty had had enough. Again, I don't agree with what he did, but anyone who thinks he was PICKING a fight is just wrong.

As for the Manual AD, he was being a parent who just happened to be in a position to go out onto the field. He had absolutely no business being out there. Period. When is the last time anyone has seen their AD make it a point to get into it with another coach after a game? Please. As embarrassed as Beatty should be, Zuberer should be more so. Everyone wants to hold Beatty to a higher standard (which i am fine with) but then give Zuberer a free pass! OMG. Thank goodness Manual has a coach who gets it (I give all the credit in the world for Dr. Lucas calling - or accepting - the truce) because the leadership of their AD leaves a lot more to be desired than anyone wants to admit.

Thank you for that explanation and "setting the record straight." It just seemed to be more to the story than what was first discussed. No excuses - just background and information. A whole lot of emotion - work - sacrifice, etc.. goes into these f-ball programs and all that it entails. Easy to see how things come to be blurry at times.

 

NOw I hope our Ohio Fan who was on here early clamoring for an explanation is satisfied and can go back to talking about his dear Cardinals.

 

Rock on -- go get # 20.

Instant Analysis from Rivals.com - nice writeup from Senior Analyst Dallas Jackson.

 

The end game antics are detailed at the bottom of the page. If these details are true, and I have no reason to think they aren't, I have lost so much respect for the Trinity program, I can't even begin to tell you. What an absolute joke! There aren't enough nasty words I could use to describe Coach Beatty so I won't even try.

 

Up 41-13 with 30 seconds left...you take a knee, PERIOD...END OF DISCUSSION. What you DO NOT do is run a play and score a TD. And even if you decide to be classless and do that, what YOU SIMPLY CAN NOT EVER DO is run ANOTHER PLAY when the first one got called back because of a penalty and score ANOTHER MEANINGLESS TD!!!

 

And people wonder why there is desire to stick the privates in their own tourny? Really?

Coach Beatty is a class act,these kids a mostly sophmores is he supposed to tell them to quit! "Cardinal Fan" maybe you should help Coach Strong at Louisville you seem to be very knowledgeable about the game of football, and he is struggling with his decisions today also.

Well, well, I see the playoffs have brought out the usual amount of T haters. The added bonus of X hypocrites was no big surprise. The racism did surprise me. Was Beatty wrong? Don't know. I, like most on here, do not know the whole story. I will support our coach on any decisions he makes for our football team. I have never seen such a bunch of crud on 1 thread in my life. Alot of you need to get a life. This is just high-school football people. Calling kids thugs and bringing up race? Just a game guys, get over it. Oh, and CF, we will get you a report on exactly why Beatty made every call for the St X game this Friday as soon as the game is over.

moving on, agreed

Not kneeling the football with less than a minute on the clock is classless no matter what the situation. It is not a game call, it is getting even. You don't have to know the situation to know that is the wrong move.

Time to move on everyone.

To be fair Manual when they played Eastern went for a field goal late in the game while the game was out of reach.

 

Surprised that was not mentioned already.

T has been labeled by those that have played them this year as being much more "thug'ish" than anyone has ever seen out of the storied program. I would venture to say that most of KY will be rooting for X this Friday, and very few outside of Rock nation will be proud should this Trinity team win it all. Has Trinity sold out on some of the values that made it great in order to win even more?

 

Considering you know nothing about our program and it's current status, you should be ashamed of such comments. These are fine young men, they excel in the classroom, on the field, and off. Since we are dealing with naivete, I'll simply give you a pass, and move on.

Only 6 people were at that game.

Do you really believe that you don't kneel the ball in this situation?

Mr. CF has been missing .and silent - as well as on the thread dealing with his teams loss Friday night. Maybe he had better tend to that before he crosses the River and pontificates on what happened down here.

All this is making me pretty hungry for some cheese.

I have no idea why we didn't take a knee, but this thought occurs to me. Considering that we likely knew at that point that the next round of the playoffs we would be facing a much better X team, could it possibly have been we were practicing end of game strategy with some key players? I mean, with the exception of a few games, our key players have been pulled well before the end of the game. Could it be that we wanted to get some "end game" experience?
