<p>You did. In 50 yrs of attending SA football games against other SAs, until Saturday, I don't think I had ever seen unsportsmanlike conduct called against any of the teams. Saw it Saturday but not nearly enough. There should have been several more. In my day, the Supt himself would probably have thrown mids off the team for similiar behavior.</p>
<p>That's unfortunate. I hope the games and years to come are not the same way.</p>
<p>USNA69 that was uncalled for. How dare you enter our threads and tell us our team is disrespectful. Yes, it happened, but it wasn't only us. Saw plenty of the same on Navy that wasn't called. All I see you bringing to the Navy forums on CC is negative attitudes and criticism. Leave our board alone, neither Academy is infallible and both were at fault.</p>
<p>Thank You Hg.....</p>

<p>The officials seemed to see it the way that I did. Guy4Christ was correct. It is unfortunate.</p>
<p>What happened? I was at another event, and did not hear much except for some people's dissappointment at a few calls.</p>
<p>We don't need to start showing disrespect on this forum, especially when (ironically) we are talking about a lack of respect between service academies to begin with.</p>
<p>USNA69: I did not see the game because I was in Buena Vista and am taking your word on how our brothers played at the game. You could, however, say so with a little less cutting sarcasm and malice. Yes, we were getting riled up and having a good time hyping the game up on this forum because of how well we had been playing, but to what I saw, we were completely respectful. There is no need to take out your frustration (over a game your midshipmen won fair and square) on us. Hornetguy is right in that you owe us a bit more courtesy on our forum...to my knowledge, noone on these boards has come into your forum and accused you of disrespect or arrogance. It was a good game, both teams played hard, you won. Now let it go.</p>
<p>To everyone else: While we may have reason to be a bit chafed by the way USNA69 treats us and our team on our forum, we need to be better than playing the same game. If these kind of things really irritate you this much, go outside and throw a ball around or go for a run. Don't get upset over a college forum...just ignore the stuff that isn't productive and do what you can to get back to why this forum is around: to help socially introduce people who want to come to the Academy with cadets, graduates, and other hopefuls. We can't be much help to anyone if we spend all our time sending hate messages around.</p>

<p>Facts seem to indicate that the statement that Ballard was talking trash was that he was actually telling the truth. I was simply defending a Navy team towards which Christcorp was making disparaging remarks. Please don't tell me that if one makes derrogatory comments about another SA, that you expect them to be irrefutable simply because they were posted on the AFA forum.</p>
<p>I did see the game, 12th row. 50 yd line.</p>
<p>^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Christcorp, my edit capability expired prior to my noticing that all the comments were made by Guy4Christ. My apologies. Didn't get home from the game until 3AM this morning and my brain is a little stewed.</p>
<p>Huh? I didn't see any disrespectful comments by G4C.</p>
<p>I still haven't heard WHAT was bad enough at the game to start this...?</p>
<p>"lets not bicker about who killed who. this is supposed to be a Happy occasion!"</p>
<p>-monty python</p>
<p>ROFL! Good point. ...moving on...</p>
<p>is Rivalry between the Academies all ways like this or is it a love hate relationship??</p>
<p>with sports, especially football, its hatred in the fact that you really really want to win and therefore hate the opponenet. but when it is all said and done, we're all comissioned into the US military and rely on each other, so its more lvoe in the end. its just another thing to compete over with differences between services</p>
