Josh's team won 32-0 yesterday. He blocked well on the line and even recovered a fumble by the QB. But I, announcing the game without a spotter, didn't see it and Josh got mad at me for not announcing his name!
Josh also saw his first defensive action and crushed the QB on an option just after the QB pitched the ball. I am proud of his progress.
At any rate, the Bulldogs are now 2-1-1.

Freak (and Josh)
Congrats on the win! Sounds like things are coming together and Josh is enjoying football again. That's great!
My son's team lost their first game last week, 18-6. It wasn't pretty and the game wasn't as close as the score indicates. There is some serious coaching that needs to be done. Wish I had time to help out.

Don't brainwash them completely. Let the discover the Orange and Brown on their own. The passion of hatred towards the blue and gold will follow with time I'm glad he's showing progress though! He can take Scott M.'s place at center someday!!

Teach them while they are young!
True yelling UT Sucks would match the trend I've noticed amongst BG fans (students?). I hate UT as much as the next guys, but how 'bout cleaning it up some?
Remember we pride ourselves on class, lets make sure we are showing that all the time!
Sorry, just my soapbox!

Personally I don't see what is wrong with saying a team sucks, it is much cleaner than some of the other things we could say about them. Whenever the band plays "Ay Ziggy Zoomba" and we say "win for B G S U" the visting students always yell "C K S", I find them rather amusing myself, espcially if we are winning.

Oh, not to worry....They loathe UT already.

Of course, yelling "UT sucks" is proper anytime, anyplace.

If some of you haven't met Mike's kids yet, I GUARANTEE that the brainwashing or stimulation is working quite well, thank you. See you tomorrow nite, Michael.

I honestly don't consider "sucks" as a dirty word, or something with overtly offensive connotations. I never have felt that it does. I know thirty years ago adults advise kids around me not to use it. However these days, it simply is the inverse of the word "cool." Thats cool. That Sucks. It is all the same to me. I just don't see the problem. I might want a little kid running around saying it, but that is less a function of it being negative, and more of being improper use of the language. When they are old, sure, while they are young, no. Unless it is really cute and sounds funny in holiday cards!
Frankly, I'd rather the use of "Sucks" be far more wide-spread than words which are even less desirable.

NWLB - I'm sure you've been to hockey games (don't hear it quite so much at football)...those words are used as well....
