THe orginal post on this thread is Ridiculous...first off to say the only thing football is good for is to pay for other sports like basketball...are you serious.....do you actually think football pays for basketball....basketball has made enough revenue to keep our football program afloat until about 5 years ago....now they make enough money to PAY FOR THEMSELVES...Football has much more expenses then ANY sport there is...There Equipment cost more then any sport plus they have to pay for 56 people instead of 12....also your quotes about jensen are good...even though i dislike this man VERY VERY VERY strongly...he has done quite a bit for the program riding the backs of brad siess ryan degeeter and a few other superstars....lets see how they do this year without a backfield!!!

ttbabe23 · 07-16-2003, 02:34 AM

yeah and a lot of those guys have needed it and now a lot of the stars are gone, it will be interesting to see what this season will be like.

ProfessorNumber · 07-16-2003, 02:51 AM

I can already tell you what it will be like. We have hardly any big players, and hardly any superstars. In short we're going to suck. No offense to any of the individual football players, but our team this year is horrible as a whole.

Fruitacious B · 07-16-2003, 02:56 AM

I'd say that would about sum it up.

ttbabe23, not too shabby with the punctuation, you're stepping it up. However it seems as though Mr. Shaw is following your footsteps.

As for you Jerad, yes I was serious, and no I don't believe that football pays for basketball. As a matter of fact, I never said that it did. Okay, there you have it. It's nice to know that basketball apparently kept the football program afloat. We all need somebody to lean on at one point, why not have the two most appreciated sports backing eachother up, it's beautiful, it really is.

I don't hate Warsaw football but I get annoyed with the way they conduct things. Jensen players and staff make them up to be the hardest working players in all of athletics at WCHS which is a load of shit. Yes they work hard but no harder or less hard than any other sport at the high school. Bottom line is football and basketball are big time sports in the USA and will be more publicized than most other sports, that's just the way it's going to be. I just get pissed off when football players act as if they should get some sort of respect from everybody just because they are football players. The staff and players tend to keep a chip on there shoulder as if there the hardest working athletes in the high school. The whole thing in general definitely pisses me off. I don't like the way that people even refer to it as "Tiger Football" as if it's some sort of Godly reference. I have a tremendous amount of respect for football players in general and the ones at Warsaw, I just do not like the way it's put up on a pedastal compared to most sports.

I play tennis which is obviously a minority sport but I believe our Men's tennis team owns more sectional titles than any other sport at the high school.

I'll run down some of the figures for you:

Sectional Titles: 18 (including 16 out of the last 20 years)
There are only 12 teams in the state with more sectional titles than us in tennis.

Regional Titles: 4 (probably will add a 5th next year(2003))

Semi-State Titles: 1

We finish consistently in the top 3 in conference year in and year out bringing out All-Conference selections all of the time.

Someone has been named to the all-conference team from Warsaw every year since the beginning of the sport in the IHSAA.

Nobody really knows the history or the tradition of tennis at Warsaw, nobody really cares either. Tennis is a minority sport in the United States and so of course I get made fun of for being a tennis player but you won't find to many sports like it. Football, Basketball, Soccer are all sports that an extremely athletic person can pick up and do well in it 2-3 years of playing. Tennis takes 6-7 years to be at the top of the heap. I personally have played tennis since I was 7 years old (11 years) and even with that I'm no where near on the level of many. I earned myself a scholarship though so I guess that counts for something.

In reference to the original post: Does Warsaw Football Suck a bunch of fat shit? No

Despite the fact that coaches, parents, and players think this. Warsaw Football doesn't really deserve anymore credit than any other sport.

well lately by the sounds of it the o line has been running their asses off everyday in practice because baum is not longer the line coach, Jensen is now in charge and ever since he lost weight and all that, he has been running them all over and up and down logan street

ttbabe23 · 07-16-2003, 03:17 AM

although now basketball is going to shit also

ttbabe23 · 07-16-2003, 03:31 AM

sorry it happened by accident. Im not sure how it happened either

Fruitacious B · 07-16-2003, 03:42 AM

Edit it quick before they make you look silly.

Fruitacious B · 07-16-2003, 04:08 AM

Good job.

Cocktooth · 07-16-2003, 09:54 AM

"Tiger Football's only purpose is to serve as revenue used to pay for basketball and so on and so forth."

That is your exact post on your first post....seems to me you said clearly footbal pays for bball

ttbabe23 · 07-16-2003, 04:40 PM

well i hate to say this but its seems right now that tiger basketball has been going down the crapper and if it keeps going that way it will need help

Cocktooth · 07-16-2003, 05:17 PM

Indiana basketball as a whole is going down the crapper...ever since class basketball started....but i will tell you right now basketball makes enough money to keep about every program in that school going...period

Fruitacious B · 07-16-2003, 05:25 PM

You made it seem as if I was referring to just basketball, that statement was a bland reference to all sports in general.

Fruitacious B · 07-16-2003, 05:26 PM

Would it be better if I have it say, "Tiger Football's only purpose is to serve as revenue used to pay for all of the other sports in the school." ?

ttbabe23 · 07-16-2003, 06:11 PM

the only reason is becuase of the season ticket holders who go every year no matter what... i used to go my first few years of hs but this year and last i never went cuz they never really won

Cocktooth · 07-16-2003, 06:42 PM

If you didnt come then obviously you wouldnt know that my senior year...2 YEARS AGO...we went 22-3....wow..didnt win many games huh....seems like winning 22 games is quite a bit in HS bball considering the state champion wins 26

Fruitacious B · 07-16-2003, 07:22 PM

I remember that, and you guys did kick some ass that year. Long live Al Rhodes, in Logansport.

ttbabe23 · 07-16-2003, 09:38 PM

that was the last year that you guys were good after that year i never went except for a few times like senior night and all that...you guys were good that year... but look now

Fruitacious B · 07-17-2003, 12:30 AM

Yeah, anyways, this is about Tiger Football, not basketball now is it. I'm planning on doing an overall review of the career of Mr. Al Rhodes, what do you think? I think it has potential.

ttbabe23 · 07-17-2003, 02:14 AM

yeah i think it does too. Go for it FB.

Fruitacious B · 07-17-2003, 02:21 AM

I might, i wanna see what more people think before i dive into it.

ttbabe23 · 07-17-2003, 02:34 AM

okay, anyways, i say go for it

Cocktooth · 07-17-2003, 09:18 AM

Defently...he is the best coach ever in the state of indiana...he will pass bill patrick in overall wins at logansport...he made a comment in the paper he may have 20 more years left in coaching....
