I have the video of the game...if I have time to later I'll locate the play in question and post it on youtube. I think it was a dirty play. #70 from WKU takes a dive directlky towards Davis knee as Nick's pulling up behind the main (behind as in a few yards behind) the main body of players tackling the ball carrier.

Screw it...I did it now...watch the lower part of the "B" in our logo right at the end of the play.

Western was very "chippy", and a bunch of punks not only were they taking cheap shots they ran their mouths the entire game. With MAC coaches telling eachother about this I wouldnt be suprised if Western finds themselves not playing MAC teams anymore in the future.

Dang, that was definitely a cheap shot. Should have been at least a penalty on that and IMO an ejection.

Whistle to whistle my butt, that was a cheap shot.

This "cut" block is similar to what Trent Green did a couple of weeks ago. But Green was trying to block a man MUCH bigger than his is and Green is not accustomed to blocking anyone. For an offensive lineman to make a block like this out in space WAAAAAYYYYY behind the play is dirty. He easily could have just made a good "drive" block up high and I wouldn't have had a problem, even though it was rather late. I'm fine with their coach saying he was playing to the whistle, but that was a cheap block.

He was just pissed because someone asked him if his school was in Ohio.

Away from the play and the play was over. Definitely a cheap shot. Flipper, i hope you posting of this video pisses a lot of people off from WKU.

Evidently, the WKU faithful are rather proud of the way their boys play.

Let me help you:

Did people just recently discover Strohs or something?
My grandfather has a Stroh's sign above his bar that has to be from at least 1960, maybe even earlier.

You know how this place is... one person comments on their love for Stroh's, and the rest follow.
Joke's on them, though... Gregg Brandon also likes Stroh's.
I'd steal/save that sign if I were you, though.

I have laid claim to the sign. I gave up the right to the bar to my cousin Joey so that I could keep that sign, and one or two others that go with it.
