There needs to be a major house cleaning at Harrisburg High School, its truely becoming a joke. Smithpeters signs underaged girls out of class to have an affair with a police officer. And “protects” his ball buddies from any legal trouble when they should face charges for underage drinking, drug use etc. Many of the teachers are only there for a check they could care less about the students. There are very few “Good” teachers there anymore. My kids liked Jay Thompson, until the last couple years, my daughter had him for senior english and says they learned absolutley nothing, they discussed sports most of the time. I get it he is a sports nut, but if its english class teach english! This “Loser” thing is just one more thing that shows how unconcerned the school board is about the education and well being of its students. Is writing loser and beating the coach weird, heck yeah, inappropriate absolutely. But thats just par for the course at Harrisburg, everyone will turn a blind eye and sweep it under the rug. Its not just the High school that needs to clean house either, but its the major problem in the unit 3 school district.

Now that is a nice role model for the kids!! OMG!! I do agree with the word on his back, he is a LOSER and needs to be fired for his inappropriate behavior. If nothing else, fire him for pure stupidity!

…all I’m stating is that your choice of words was poor at best, and at worst, a Freudian slip revealing your own subconscious / unconscious desires and motives (you can look that up)…this observation is further validated by your continued reference to love muscle, pussies, and fetish…perhaps he should have just said “tough game guys, we played well, but not well enough to win today.” …

Russell the love muscle are you stating that you have a fetish? You know what I was referring to. I think he was simply sending them a message. Let me rephrase in today’s reality…….”Perhaps he should have ran their pussies in the ground
.”

…while I agree with you that there was a better way to go, I’m fairly certain any reference to the players dicks is also best left out of any potential solution…

I imagine he was trying to make a point to his team. I think it is rediculous to assume otherwise. Jay has a long history of success and that should be respected. While I personally would have not done it that way, I can see his point. I would have ran their dicks in the dirt. Seems like a couple of trips on liberty would have helped.

I wonder if Coach T’s file still has the baseball bus incident in it from 1982.
