This year (I won't say where we were playing) the officials told us at the start of the second half that they were going to run the clock. I responded that we were only up 22 zip, and they said that the AD wanted to run the clock if it was more than 3 scores...my response to that was "don't you ever run the clock on us if we are down by just 20 points"...I guess I have this condition called competitiveness. How do these people: this mom from texas, the AD, etc...not get that they are developing pansies. It is frustrating but unfortunately this is becoming more than a trend. I think that all we can do as parents and coaches is make our kids as tough as possible and beat the $#it out of the teams whose parents and coaches are not as concerned about such things. ultimatly it is not about football or wrestling it is about life...and I will tell right now that my kids/team are gonna be better stronger tougher people in life than the son of the mom from texas or the kids whose AD runs the clock on them only down 22. These parents are ruining their kids. how do they not see that. Prepare the child for the path, not the path for the child...I have been wanting to rant on this for a while...sorry.
