Re: Embarrassed by kneeling players
I have been attending BG games since 1982 and for years have gone to every single home and away game. Needless to say, I am quite familiar with player pre-game routines. To their credit, most of the 20 or so BG players stood up as the anthem began. Six to seven did not, with one remaining kneeling u...

Re: Embarrassed by kneeling players
Naandre, I wasn't shouting at players...the people in front of me couldn't hear us say stand up let alone the players out on the field, who were in front of the band. Try again.

Embarrassed by kneeling players
I was sitting not far from the end zone where the BG players knelt during the national anthem. I was completely and utterly embarrassed by their actions, and ashamed for the university. When the anthem started, we were saying "stand up...stand up!" My heart sank to my stomach when they rem...

Re: New Kicker
I thought the interview with Joe was revealing. BG now has a dedicated special teams coach, rather than a position coach who just happens to coach special teams. The truth is that BG's special teams coach the past two years involved himself very little in coaching the FG unit. That responsibility wa...

Re: New Kicker
Tech2000, you are absolutely right...the silent count was disastrous. From the mouth of a college football coach, "why would they go to a silent count when Tyler hit 80% of his field goals?" Special teams were an afterthought with Babers, plus BG was out schemed time and again. In spring b...

Re: Game Thread: Tennessee
Hello, from Nashville. Just wanted to comment that UT pulled our left guard out to his left to clear space for the guy who blocked the FG. That is an illegal play. The penalty on Babers was not a factor in the blocked kick.

Re: 2015 Football Schedule
Thanks, Mark. I enjoy everyone's passion for BG and the football program. Sometimes comments are difficult to read because I know how hard the guys work year 'round. I too get frustrated when guys mess up, especially my son, but I just would like everyone to remember that the players want nothing mo...

Re: 2015 Football Schedule
Long time reader, first time poster. I am the parent of a current player and I'm ticked, to be honest. This schedule is incredibly unfair to the team, particularly the seniors, and unfair to fans who hit the road every weekend. The non-conference schedule could have the team mentally and physically ...
