HOUSTON TEXAS CHRISTIAN COACH SUSPENDED
Coach Palmquist’s letter to parents
Response from Not Your Ordinary School coaches
My school supports me. We’re just ready to get this behind us. I believe those who know me and know me well know that I would never intentionally hurt my savior, my family, TCS or any team.
- Herc Palmquist
How sad, how pathetic, how desperate must a football coach be in order to cheat to win a six-man football game? Well, if you’re our latest DUMB@$$ AWARD wiener…well, it’s OK, ‘cuz you’re a Christian, and you’re not perfect, just forgiven. After all, What Would Jesus Do? He sure as Hell wouldn’t want to lose…and besides, how could you possibly hope to live down losing to a school named Not Your Ordinary School?
Then again, if you’re going to cheat, at least be certain that your ringers are going to be able to get you your desired result. This is just beyond silly….
This kinda makes you wonder just what lessons are being taught at Texas Christian, doesn’t it? Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing? The ends justify the means? If Our Glorious Leader can lie, then it must be OK? You NEVER, EVER want to lose to a school called “Not Your Ordinary School”?
Bigger. Faster. Better beards.
Looking back now, it should have been obvious that something was amiss about the adult football team that Texas Christian School fielded three weeks ago in Austin.
Not to mention the tattoos.
“Some of the guys had tattoos and full beards and looked like they were like 25,” Not Your Ordinary School senior running back David Johnson said of his opponents that Oct. 28 afternoon. “At the time, we thought they were just sort of big.
“Now we see why they looked so old.”
It turns out Johnson and his team unwittingly played a six-man team made up of college-age players, coached by Texas Christian’s Herc Palmquist. The Texas Christian varsity team was told the game had been canceled and they had the night off.
Instead, Palmquist brought eight college-age players to play what he called a “pickup game,” which NYOS won 28-18.
WTF? Texas Christian is, well, a Christian school, no? And Palmquist claims to be a Christian? Man, unless I’m missing something here, this is some prime DUMB@$$ AWARD-quality stuff, eh? To make things even worse the Texas Christian player who first brought this deception to light has been threatened. Hey, this IS Texas high school football we’re talking about here….
What I find amazing about this is that Palmquist apparently thought that he would actually get away with his little ruse. Given the devotion that high school football engenders in this state, even the six-man variety, I find it difficult to believe that Palmquist actually thought he could grab a cheap “W” without anyone noticing. THIS, kids, is a DUMB@$$. Best of all, he is wrapping himself in his faith and depending on the forgiveness of Texas Christian parents, who, from all indications, seem more than willing to forgive Palmquist. Now, if he was a Democrat, Palmquist would already have been fed to the rats by furious parents. Then again, what’s Christianity without a fair amount of self-righteous indulgence of your co-religionist?
