Well, this may be a little bit off topic, but at least it'll get everybody off complaining about sportsmanship for a second or two. I was really impressed with the Appy band. I hadn't got to hear them play this season. They were easily the best I've heard in a few years. Clintwood gave them a standing ovation.
I agree I miss Clintwood haveing a band [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]
Who, who might be?
In a way, I'm kind of surprised that Rick hasn't voluntarily benched the player for next weeks game.
I've known Rick since he played football himself, and he is probably one of the most conservative coaches I've ever known. He's never been one to put up with any bs from any of his players.

Agreed, but from everything I and others have heard about the situation, Robbins doesn't deserve a suspension at all. It's one thing to take a swing at someone for the sake of being unsportsmanlike, it's a whole another thing to try to hit somebody when they're purposefully trying to hurt you & take you out after the whistle.
Rick's a stand-up guy, but he isn't one to take something laying down if he feels his guy wasn't in the wrong.
Another player told me that robbins was being pinched in a pile so he pushed the guy off. He said he thought they were going to appeal the suspension but it wont go through by saturday if vhsl is slow as usual
I've heard some different accounts of the situation, and I can't speculate as to what Robbins was thinking when it happened. But, at the same time, if a referee goes far enough to eject a player, then I have to believe that they saw or heard something to warrant it. I haven't seen many players ejected from games this season.

How did he embarrass Tech?

Don't you see, it never happened. If it did, Coach Mullins would have benched him.
