Way to go Colby-Sawyer

August 20, 2009

Many of you already know that most of the staff of MassCrass graduated from the hilly, frozen campus of Colby-Sawyer College in New London, NH.

The one day of the year that it didnt snow.

The one day of the year that it didn't snow.

A small, frigid, WASP-infested campus in the middle of New Hampshire, nothing of note ever goes on there

Until now.

Barstool Sports has recently reported on an incident involving the former Colby-Sawyer Tennis Coach, drunk athletes, and an email sent to his players after a plate of issues earlier this past spring.

The best part? Going to Colby-Sawyer, being an athlete, watching this go down the first time, and, now watching the news hit the interweb’s most “notable” New England “sporting news site.”

I side with the coach of course. If my coach sent me an email of this magnitude I would have hunted the rat down and thrown him into the snow-filled quad, naked. Then I would have won my next game drunk and high. Of course I ran track, so drinking and smoking while running is quite detrimental (although the Jamaican runners apparently have no problems with drugs of ANY sort, but, moving on…).

I mean seriously, I feel for this guy. Lets go over the facts shall we?

1- He has a rat on his team

2- Harpy of an AD on his ass 24/7

3- Forfeit ala drunken behavior

4- Loss, and we can only assume, of one helluva Senior Captain

5- Not being the coach of Women’s Volleyball/Basketball

As a former athlete, I can understand where the drunken behavior was uncalled for, but I  can also see the side of the coach who already has the deck stacked against him. Sadly, this story ends in tradgedy as he was let go by the aformentioned AD. An Athletic Director, who shall remain nameless, that only helps Women’s Volleyball and Basketball, leaving everyone else out in the snow.
