Message: [QUOTE="SoCalCanine, post: 4725078, member: 803"] I played only one year of football in high school, my freshman year. Our school was a horrible football school. The head coach of the freshman team would tell us " the only way you can win this game (every game!) is to injure #xx (whatever number was of the best player on opposing team) and get him out of the game". This was his strategy every game. We all knew it was wrong, but in those days coaches did and said anything they wanted and we kids were too intimidated to say or do anything against him. My line coach was actually a good guy but even he never said or did anything against the head coach. We won two games that year only cause we somehow got to play the only team worse than us twice that year. The second to last game of the year, I got moved up to JV and screwed up my knee. Never played again. This was the late 60s, a very different time. I started smoking pot and became a hippie! [/QUOTE]
