Well, might as well cancel the season! Burton's been named #1 by an area newspaper! No need to play the game(s) now! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif[/img]

Is that #1 in the world, the LPD, the region...?

I'm thinking the world since there is no further explanation lol [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif[/img]

Here's a bothersome little quote from the preview:

"I really feel like the kids we've got work hard," Crabtree said. "We've had some quitters and some transfers and really got rid of some of the more selfish players. We ended up with a team that's all about the team. I like that. I'd rather have 19 or 20 that are all about the team, rather than have 25 with five or six individuals that are not."

I agree that part of the problem Pound has faced in the last few years. If ya believe it, ya might as well say it. The community may have had a part in past struggles as well...but the community doesn't play the games. If folks get mad and quit coming to the games..ya still have your players on Friday night...but if your players are selfish on the field or quitting...then you have diddley squat. Chris had all the right to say what he did. If you coach you have to have balls and a tough skin. Folks got all over him a few years back when he predicted that his team would win the CD within a couple of years as well.

Well it will be BB material for some teams BUT I DO think it is something Crabtree needed to say to his team since I am sure most people (myself included) talk so much about the Pound Mass defections that it starts wearing on the Players
