I so glad last week is over. I'm tired of hearing about how
honorable, noble, ethical and morally principled Army players and coaches are, (what a joke), and not one kind word like that about our players....
Army showed their true character on the last drive of the game. LA Tech had turned the ball over to Army on the Tech 25-yd line by failing to convert a 4th down with 1:15 seconds left in the game. So, instead of just taking the snap in the VICTORY FORMATION, the Army QB tried to
run up the score on LA Tech by
throwing the ball in the end zone with only 1:15 seconds left on the game clock. I thought it was a very "classless" act. Thank goodness, our LA Tech DB made a good play in the end zone to stop the potential score.
Then, on the next play, the Army QB tried to run one of his patented run plays for a score. The same Tech DB (#26) hit him extremely hard and stopped him for a short 3-yd gain.
This is where it got really interesting. After some more
"back and forth"
talking between the Army QB and the LA Tech DB --and with the clock still running and some fans booing-- the Army QB reached his hand out to make peace with the Tech DB in an effort to shake his hand. The LA Tech DB rejected it by slapping his hand away. And you could also see on the screen that the LA Tech player told him to go F.... himself.
The LA Tech player was angry,
and I don't blame him. I know some of you will take the side of Army with all the silly typical cliche's....
"they are allowed to play the full 60 minutes", etc.... But that's not the point. The point is, after listening all week to how
honorable and disciplined Army is, this was a
low life,
classless and undisciplined move on national TV by Army's football coach Jeff Monken and his players.
The whole thing made me laugh. I laughed at the hypocrisy being committed by our United States Military Academy. Because after listening all week to how honorable and noble the Army players and coaches are, I sat there and watched Army commit at least two serious "unsportsmanlike" acts to purposely try to run up the score on an opponent at the end of a game.
