Chatham Glenwood -Denial AKA Delusions of Grandeur

[TigerforFlyers]

I quote Coach Hays of Chatham Glenwood regarding their a-whoopin from ESL:

“That was a game there in the third quarter. It just got a little weird there at the end, but our kids were physical on both sides of the football and played for four quarters,” Hay said

Is there anyone who can explain what he meant exactly? They were down 26-7 at half I think.

This game was never in doubt. I share this pic because it is awesome!!! Paul Halfacre does a great job behind the lens and keyboard.

If I feel like giving him the benefit of the doubt I’d imagine he’s talking coming out down 13 with the ball to start. We know how it turned out.

More realistically I’d chalk it up to coach speak. Tend to agree with Crusader that it wasn’t much, if at all, in doubt. ESL defense was in the backfield from the jump.

The Chatham pregame announcers were stating "East St. Louis is over rated in their national ranking. They aren't that good." And "I think Chatham is under rated. Theyre alot better than people give them credit." They add, "I don't see what the hype is all about. What, are the Green bAY Packers coming to town or something?" A buddy of mine said to them, "no idiot, the Detroit Lions are coming to town and you're about to get your knee caps bit off."

We all laughed when we heard that. ESL #17 and Chatham #1,572 nationally.

Wow! Lol. I mean I get it; you never downplay what you’re capable of and try to channel that energy into a pre-game, however after you experience being outmatched, you at least acknowledge that your opponent was at least pretty good. Not suggesting that the game was “weird”.

When we’ve played national powerhouses and got handled in the past, we always acknowledge that the team was really good. Sometimes we’re even amazed at the talent.

ESL is a top nationally ranked team and this is what’s being discussed…weird.

Correction: ESL players and coaches test themselves and work to earn national consideration year in and year out and a select few weirdos seem to despise that. There, I fixed it for you. Not sure if you’re aware or not, but stating that someone is over-rated is offensive and if you’re called out on it, it’s fair and proper.

I didn't think it was disrespect, but the calling the game "wierd" was wierd to me. I wish I knew what he meant. There wasn't really any controversial calls or decisions.

When something is so outlandish like ESL being overrated to me it’s more laughable than offensive…but carry on. Good luck the rest of the way, I enjoy watching the Flyers.

I went back to listen to the pregame guys on nfhs and it looks like glenwood removed the game.
