Trent didn’t rip anyone with his coaching. LA went out an sold its soul to get players in that were just substantially better overall than other teams. This LA team is very talented but with long time NFLers and high school all Americans that BA had in the 1990’s this LA team would have had their hands full and then some. Heck, Ingles MBA team would have had a good showing against this LA team. 

I'll never convince you otherwise but being on the "inside" I disagree that LA sold it's soul.  My son is a better young man for playing for him.  He has grown so much spiritually and has dear friends that look different than he does and that will serve him well.  Trent infused energy into a very lethargic campus and brought back pride and passion to not only the football program but the school as a whole.  There is a waiting list for almost all grades which has not been the case in a long long time.  Hopefully the next coach can achieve some measure of success but I know it will be difficult.

Difficult is what Dilfer inherited when he accepted the job... next guy isn't guaranteed the same success, but if the administration is still bought in and follows the same formula, the odds are now in your favor.

We beat Bolles in '99 at MBA.  The return trip there in 2000 happened in a hurricane and should have been cancelled, but we went there anyways and got beat, and were later awarded the win because Bolles played ineligible players in the game.  Hunter Hillenmeyer was on those teams and had a long career in the NFL.  Those MBA teams from '98-'00 coached by Ricky Bowers could compete with anyone.

I forgot about Hillenmeyer. As I recall, he wasn't a super highly regarded prospect when he went to Vanderbilt, but he exceeded expectations there and then far exceeded them in what turned out to be a very solid NFL career.

- I thought dilfer showed restraint with the score.  he ground out the whole second half with no huge chunk plays that I can remember.  

- best i could tell, spillman hit him as he threw the ball and it wasn't malicious.  it's football.  

- sorry they didn't play back-ups the way you wanted.  

 

I didn't say it was malicious. I just noticed that the player had no intention of coming off the field after getting called for the penalty.  Watch most D2 teams around here and the players come right off regardless of the penalty.  Like I said - a different brand and a different level.
