Back in 1990, we played a much inferior team that was our so-called "rival". We actually played them twice that year. The first game was 54-0 with a running clock. The second game we're up 38 in the second quarter and are playing everybody we have (we're a small school). They score a couple of times before the half to make it 38-14. No big deal. As we leave the field, they are dog cussing us (along with their coaches). Got my blood up a little, but that was the way they were. They kick off to us to start the second half, our returner breaks down the sideline. They dump the gatorade cooler on him as he runs by--he's so good he still scores. That sent me threw the roof. Starters back in, beat the dog snot out of them. Pulled the starters in the 4th at 75-14. Seemed reasonable to me, they deserved it. Not just the coaches--the kids did. But here's my advice: don't do it. The opposing coached moaned to everyone who would listen, a newspaper picked it up, then the AP got in on it. AP calls the school on Monday, I'm out of town at an AD meeting. They talk to an assistant with no tact whatsoever. He says "their job to stop us". Of course, that's what got spread over the AP wire nationally. Next thing I know I'm getting hate mail from all over the country. So again, my advice, don't do it. Dumped a Gatorade cooler on him? Yikes!
