It’s an emotional game
November 13, 2002
(Barret Lyon of The State Hornet) have no idea what it is like to put on the pads everyday and play football. You sit behind your camera and take pictures of various sporting events around campus. You have no right to judge the way that we acted after last week’s loss to Montana State.
You said that our coaches were walking around like drunken people, and that you have never heard so much profanity out of grown men, and that you feared for your own safety after the game, well let me tell you this: You have no idea what it is like to sweat six days a week to play one game; you have no idea of all the hours that we put in the offseason, and you don’t know how hard it is to come across a victory in the Big Sky Conference — the best Div. I-AA conference in America.
When we lost that game, it pissed us off to know that we played our hearts out for 60 minutes and that the game was decided by the officials. Of course we are going to be upset about that. We are having a rough season, and every victory is huge for us right now. With that win we would have had a chance to make the playoffs, but now we can’t.
