It was a weird kind of day. Wrestling practice was almost a waste of time. I am afraid of how we will wrestle against Streetsboro and Dalton on Thursday. Speaking of wrestling, I think were got screwed out of second place at the Malvern Hornet Holiday Classic. We had 2 winner and 4 runners-up. The team we were leading by 7 points going into the finals had 2 winners, 1 runner-up and 2 third place winners. We had more placers and a lead of 7 points, so I am not sure how we dropped to third. I have sent an email to their coach about this matter.
Then I heard about Roy Williams of the Cowboys getting suspended, without pay, for his third personal foul "horse collar" tackle of the year. So, does this mean now every player should get suspended for 3 personal fouls in a year? You pull a face mask twice and hit a player out of bounds, you get suspended. To me it doesn't seems fair to single out Roy for his personal foul penalties. I don't normally get on a soapbox about rules, but this ones seems a little out of whack!
Think about it. Think about players how hit a QB to "send him a message" early in a game. If that player does it 3 times, then suspend them for a game without pay. It just seem like the punishment fit the crime in this case.

That is all for now----Bayou out!

Roy Williams is a jackass and a sorry, overrated player. How many long pass plays has he allowed this year because of shoddy coverage? Anyone who continually violates a rule that was implemented BECAUSE OF HIM deserves to be suspended. The Cowboys won't miss him much; I was just sorry the suspension was only for one game.
