[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOL.  PP is right.  I was there and the announcer was referring to the "Red or Blue Pill" scene from The Matrix, which is the RB's nickname.

As for Cilento, he was angry at a few calls and got in the umpire/refs' faces a couple of times.  Especially given the lopsided score, I can understand how anyone was offended.  From what I understand, Cilento was reprimanded for his behavior.

As for the "N" word thing, it was mentioned once in a rap song that was part of the pregame.  Obviously some kid created the list, and Bullis didn't know about it.  I guess Bullis should have listen to every single pregame song to ensure there is no offensive comment.

I think the Bullis announcer is a recent graduate.  Yes, he has a different style.  But I never heard him say anything remotely derogatory about any team or players.

Let's be honest - some of the comments here are from STA parents who were upset at Cilento's theatrics (which is justfied), but who are also crying because of their team got pounded.  Bullis has a lot more African-Americans on their football team than other IAC schools, and that simply bothers some people.[/quote]

I am not a St. Albans parent but I can tell you that it is not just the coaches behavior but also the "semester transfers" that Bullis seems to like to take for one season or one year just to win at the sport. Why parents at this school who are paying a lot in tuition are happy with this type of behavior is beyond me. [/quote]
