| I've been quiet for the past few weeks because some fans took my comments the wrong way. At least when I did post my commments fans responded in kind. This place is dead and we need to find our MoJo. Evidently we have gotten complacent. Shizz, my friend, we don't need to worry about Monrovia's field and maybe their lack of grass. If this is what we're concerned about, then I think we have alot more that we can talk about.
Let's look at the record of Monrovia, they have a losing record. We have a decent record and should be ready to play. If they have muddy conditions, which I don't think they will, we still have to play the game. Then we concentrate on a Sectional Championship. We're not showing any enthusiasm in the support of our team. People have talked about how our kids read this forum, well, where's your backing. It's lacking. We seem to get excited if we steamroll a team, but yet, after we get beaten by North, its gloom and doom. Our season is far from being over with. Come on people, and let's get going. If I have to, I'll resort to making comments that many might not like just to stir the pot.
Go Rams.

| You hit it Dutch. Its like we were more excited for regular season games than the sectional. I think not being undefeated may have deflated some of us. We are that spoiled!!! I think it will be a good game tonight. I really think they are better than their record indicates but I believe revenge is in store.

| It's about time we get off our rear ends and show some excitement. How can you get so excited if you beat a team like Crawford or some of the other cream puffs. These wins don't prove anything. For crying out loud, as I once said, the good Sisters from Ferdinand could have given them a good game. Now is the time to back this team. You people must be ready for this season to be over with. This is the playoffs, you lose, you're out. Nothing is guaranteed. We have a good chance of winning the sectional. After that, it gets tougher. The most successful teams are those teams who have the backing from their fans all throughout the season. Not just when we play the creampuffs. Too many people got that feel good feeling earlier in the season. I'd say there's more excitement for the Band than there is for the football team.
Come on people, for crying out loud. If we perhaps happen to lose tonight, I don't wanna hear one thing from any of you about the game. You had your chance this week.

| Congratulations to our guys on our victory last night against Monrovia. It's not easy to make a long trip like that and come out with a victory. Our goal now should be to win more game for a sectional championship.
I'm sorry to say that this forum has been up and down this year. Seems like when we have a runaway score everyone gets on hear and beats their chest. These last couple of weeks have shown alot to me. Seems like alot of people have given me grief for my posts, but at least I have tried to stir up some excitement and get fans posting on here. We all seem to brag about how our program has turned around, but yet many go for weeks on here. This should be alot more active forum. It's not. We have a tough game coming up this Friday for the championship. Trust me, our players do come on here and read the posts. Look at how many have been reading the posts on this forum and you'll see what I'm talking about. When we show some excitement for these guys to read, this does have an impression on the players. Each of you needs to look in your heart and show more excitement.

| Sorry to disapoint you in lack of posts, however this time of year between work and football we are too busy to sit around and chat all the time. Don't mistake that for a lack of support, it's just life. I'm very glad to see us pull out a close game this week it takes alot to hang in there and finish a game like we did. Now on to the next one and a Sectional Championship. GO RAMS

I'm sorry that you havent had time to sit around and post on this forum. It's a busy time of the year with all the leaves falling, cutting all that firewood for the winter, butchering to make sausage, getting your home winterized, and the list goes on.
For my part, I think alot of our fans see our season coming to an end in just a few weeks and our excitement I somehow diminished. I hope that's not the case, but I just have a hunch.
For my part, I'm not gonna make any further posts on here until after the season is over with. I'm sure there are many who will be happy with that. But I have things to do, also. I can't be bothered in trying to increase fan support for the Rams and talking about strategies. As for our team, if any of you are reading this forum, please know that I for one will be pulling for you all the way. Some other people are too busy this time of the year to show their support. Let's put that sectional championship trophy where it belongs.
I've got wood to cut, leaves to rake, and another game to go to this Friday night. I can't be bothered to come here anymore, I'm just to busy.

| Back to the old forum I guess, nothing to say that matters so you are going to make try to poke fun at other people's post. Thats ok i would not expect anything less. I guess if you feel that your posts complaining about other user's is going to rally support, then have at it. As for me I will continue to find better ways to support the team. I will still come here though, nothing like Dutch's point of view to provide all us normal fans with a good laugh!! So carry on there hot shot. As a side note what about a 4th straight trip to the sec. championship, the most winning senior's ever, and the most winning coach ever. But I would not want you to talk about that stuff when you could bitch about my having to be away for work.

The last time I checked we still have "freedom of speech" in this country. Perhaps you have forgotten this. I'll remind you that we still live in a free country. You are way too sensitive about people being busy with work. Dude, I was just trying to make a boring forum a little more fun. That was all I was trying to do. I'm sorry if I hurt yours or anyone elses feelings. Of course, as you reminded us all, "I would not expect anything less" as you so richly refer to me. If anyone has been personal on here against one person, it's been you. Was I really complaining about other persons posts on here, perhaps, but only because it was deal quiet here. There was nothin personal intended. Maybe you need to examine your comments against me. I guess I'm not a "normal" fan as you compare me to others. What's a "normal" fan? Another direct assault on my character. Just what kind of fan am I? Please explain. I'm not cheering you on, I'm supporting this team. At least I make all the "normal" fans laugh as you like to point out. So I'm a "hot shot", nice attack again. You have no idea who I am. I could think of alot of names for you, but I'm not going to do that on this forum. I never used the word "bitch" in my comments towards anyone, including you. Don't try to make me feel good for pointing out that this forum has been quiet. You seem to think that you're the only one that works.
I want to personally thank Shiz for his comments he has made in the past. He has never attacked anyone personally like you have. Thanks Shiz for your courtesy. At least you have thick skin. Commonsense, please don't make any caustic name calling against me. That doesn't help anything. You and I agree on one thing, you don't care for me, and that's ok. I still like you. Peace to you brother and all your other "normal" fans. You should be feeling very proud of yourself. I'm debating whether to go to Friday night's game since I'm not a "normal" fan. I will look for the seating reserved for fans who aren't "normal."
Go Rams and come away with a victory this Friday, I hope I make it to the game.

| I have heard that Triton enjoys throwing the ball and throwing it well. This concernes me a great deal. Our defense has been pretty solid under our current coach but I have always thougt that we were weak against the pass. And in my opinion, it's our scheme. If they throw alot and are accurate it could be a long night. Hopefully our front line can keep pressure on their QB. NO TURNOVERS!

| This will be a test for us, but at this point in the season, every game is a test. Let's give it out best and come away with a victory. I believe our coaches will have our team prepared. We need to be not only prepared physically but mentally as well. There's alot riding on this game and I'm sure we'll come away with a victory.
Shizz: Thanks for the encouragement. I truly hope that everyone realizes that I do not mean to be personal with anyone and I only want the best for our team. Let's keep our tradition going.

| You can throw the ball all night and put up alot of stats and not put up points I think the great teams can do both run and pass well you know if you have a team that has a powerhouse run game then their passing game just won't be there Triton from what i've heard likes to pass the ball around but there's a difference between passing like the 1990 Houston Cougars Football Team than passing like the 49ers of the 80s-mid 90s and the 49er West Coast offense I mean are they goin to drop back and pass it 50 times a night with deep bombs tryin to blow up passing numbers while running the ball to offset the passing attack that much or are they goin to have a short yardage accurate passing game built into an offense like the 49er West Coast Offense Was? It will be interesting too see what happens.
