There has been more support and the kids have been staying longer for the most part. If we want to fill the Baptist side week in and week out, we are going to need some more community support, win a big game and quit playing the sisters of the blind. The base is there, a few positive things happening, will really help.

Along those same lines, Baptist attendance could take a hit if we ever start losing at home. Which would probably happen if we started pulling in better competition. Or when we play Coastal this year.

While it is a tribute to the King of Pedophiles, this is pretty sweet. Can we get our band to do this?

That's just a typical day at the office for TDBITL. Although the moonwalk at the 4:20 mark is incredible.

I do appreciate everyone raising their standards.

Glad Williams Stadium is not like this for the most part. Hope it never gets close to this either. The family atmosphere certainly makes it different, but I'd rather that than this.

I don't mind if people play fantasy football while in the stands. Doesn't bother me or my kids.

Ah wrong link, corrected it.

Hard to take his opinion seriously based on the following quotes:

We were slaves. We were paid enough to live, eat, and train... And nothing more.

In the end, we were just a bunch of dumbface (racial slur) for the owners to whip, and the rich to bet on.

I will always love the ducks: my coaches, my teammates, my brothers and family. The rest... Go (expletive) yourselves.

I'm sure the crowd around him was rowdy and somewhat intoxicated, but he maybe he's the one that needs to chill the (expletive) out.

I was unaware that slaves were given a free higher education, first class travel, meals and facilities. Gladiators, you can sort of make the case.

I agree Duke and Haize, and his frustration seems a bit over the top and his expectations may not have been realistic. In any case though having those types of fans are what I was referring to. Fandom is good, but cheering (or complaining) in a way that shows you may be forgetting that the athletes are people is a dangerous line to walk. Outside of that environment the odds are those fans wouldn't think of the players in the way that they are shouting about them, but still glad fans at Williams Stadium don't get too caught up that they forget the bigger picture.

Now THAT is truly dangerous!
