Morning Folks,
This is more of a rant here as I cannot believe what I was told this morning.
We are a new program in its first year of competitive football. There's been alot of new programs in the area and the general concesus is 1 win in your first year is acceptable. Well at the moment we are 0-3. And not even a close 0-3. 38-0, 48-0 and 90-0.
The 90-0 was against the state champions. I mean how {censored} stupid are the administrators to give us the state champions in only our 3rd ever game.
Anyways, we are playing a reletively new program this week and we are the underdogs. But I feel we have a great chance to cause an upset and get our first win.
But I get a phonecall from our AD last night telling me that due to a technicallity caused by monies not being paid last summer that 6 of my players are ineligable to play until the debts are paid off, and the deadline was yesterday. They waited until last night to tell me 6 of my guys couldnt play and that the deadline was yesterday. If they had told me on Monday it would have been sorted.
We were unaware of these monies until last night. It is an administrative error that as a HC I had nothing to do with. So going into the biggest game of the eyar with our best chance of winning this season we manage to lose:
FB/OLB - Also Team captain
FS - Defensive captain
MLB - Best player in the division
OLB/TE - Vice Defensive captain
C - Offensive captain
LT - Best lineman
They could not have possibly picked 6 worse players to deprive me of.
I dont know what to do. I have put an appeal in today. The players are distraught. They didn't know the score, they assumed that the administrators had taken care of everything.
If the appeal fails then I am truely screwed and am goign to have to come up with something very good to fix it.
