Crazy that a newspaper would do that. Wonder if the writer will be disciplined.
Many years ago - in the first game of the season - one of our football teams' senior captains tripped running through one of those banners the cheerleaders make - only this one was attached to a big circular piece of aluminum. Anyway, he ripped a knee or an ankle, I can't remember which, and was done for the year.Mark2010 said:Batman said:Mark2010 said:Oh, I always ask "what would you consider a good year?"
But, just once, I've love to have a coach say, on the record: "We're just not very talented this year." The closest I've ever got (well, actually, a co-worker) was a HS football coach: "You can't make chicken salad out of chicken shirt."
One of my co-workers once got a baseball coach to say, on the record, "You can't win the Kentucky Derby with a bunch of mules."
I heard the coach got a good talking-to from his superiors for that.
I bet. Political correctness has been the death-knell for classicly funny quotes.

Gator said:Has a high school coach ever said at the beginning of the season, "I don't think we'll be very good." I guess they mask it behind the words "rebuilding year." But I wish one coach, one time, would just shoot it straight.

But yes, there is a Rumford Falls Times, and yes, they do cover Mountain Valley girls' volleyball ...
