No doubt. I was thinking the same could probably be said of mothers, nuns, Red Cross volunteers, and even lawyers.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostGive 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

My 9th grade hoop coach was an ass. He often scrimaged with us due to a lack of players. Once during a drill I set a pick and he just ran me over. As I get up he looks at me and says: "that was a moving screen." To which I responded: "no shit, you moved me halfway across the court." Next time I picked him, I drop stepped as he came by and drilled him in the kidneys as hard as I could.Originally posted by LA Ute View PostDo Your Damnedest In An Ostentatious Manner All The Time!

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

My sophomore football coach made the entire team walk off the field and get on the buses at Tooele High School because he was so upset with the refs. The game was officially a forfeit; but it didn't teach us much about sportsmanship.Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

on my little league team growing up there was a kid who was mildly handicapped and came from a really bad home, but he was nice enough. one day he missed practice, without calling the coach to do something family related, and the day he came back we had "ralph patrol:" he got a five second head start and then the rest of the team would chase him down and take shots at him. this happened multiple times. i've never seen someone so disheartened and just plain hurt. for the great record annals of the internet, and for google search purposes, the coach's name was scott larsen (google tags: larsen electric, wf electric, chris larsen, biss larsen, nc state, north carolina state). he's unfit to be associated with ute conference little league, or uhsaa activities in any way. to this day, i can't understand what would have to be going on in a 40+ year old man's head to do something like that. it was probably the worst thing i've seen done to a kid.

Dickson. I never played for him but I hated him from the two summer camps I attended in the 6th and 7th grade. He was named correctly.A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life. - Mohammad AliComment

Tyler Shreve formally charged with battery
ESPN Utah recruit charged with battering coach -ESPN Rise FOOTBALL
Fortunately, he confirmed that he still has his scholarship to the U.Shreve, a 6-foot-4 pitcher and starting quarterback, was expelled last Thursday and was formally charged with misdemeanor battery on a school official Friday, according to Susan Mickey, spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County District Attorney's office.
...
According to The Press-Enterprise of Riverside, the incident took place in a school conference room. Shreve, his parents, Redlands East Valley principal John Maloney and Cordes were all present. Shreve attacked Cordes after he informed the group of his decision to dismiss Shreve for not going to class and not respecting the coaching staff. Shreve's father Tony pulled him off the coach, who was injured but not serious enough to warrant hospitalization.
basically, this kid attacked his coach right in front of his parents and the principal. Sounds like a bright bulb.
Despite the eyewitnesses to the event, the expulsion, and the criminal charges, we still don't know exactly what happened so I am reserving judgment on this one, folks.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I hope the kid can put this behind him. 18 is pretty young to make stupid, life-altering mistakes, especially for a guy with so much potential.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostLast edited by LA Ute; 03-08-2010, 04:45 PM.“There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

I had no idea he had done this in front of his family AND the principal. Wow! So we can speculate all we want but the eyewitnesses...they are to be ignored or yawned at?

Whit seems to be taking the same approach to this violent predator.Originally posted by SeattleUte View Post
I wonder if Whit will be so casual once Tyler Shreve attacks him.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.
