I am curious as to why someone is so interested in a football team that has no region-wide success or aspirations for the season? It seems simply bizarre to repeatedly bump this thread with updates. I am sure, if anyone is interested, they can check the Washington Post scores/standings or the school website for results.

Translation: Please ignore the sorry state of Sidwell athletics. Nothing to see here.

Manifesto McRant: I've had it. I am so tired of what appears to be one mean-spirited poster targeting one school and, for the most part, one team.

Who am I? I am not a Sidwell parent. I am not a Sidwell graduate. I don't have children who play football. I do have kids who play sports at other DC-area independent schools. I do have good friends who graduated from Sidwell, and a couple who teach at Sidwell. I do think it is incredibly nasty to constantly harp on the fortunes of one team of high school kids, some of whom are as young as 14, mocking their efforts when unsuccessful under the mantle of criticizing the "state of Sidwell athletics." I believe that as much fun as crazy DCUM world is, occasionally it would be good to lock a thread, but I get that that is not the policy and I respect that it's a policy that has worked well for this very successful site.

So, I am going to start posting results of other Sidwell sports teams in this thread, and lots of them. And I'm going to bump other threads up when the Sidwell Football Stalker posts their usual mean-spirited responses.

Sorry, but I'm just tired of reading this stuff for a year.

Typical deflection. When somebody posts something truthful about a school, the reaction is to slam him/her with name calling (e.g. the stalker, the so and so from thread X, etc.)

The Sidwell stalker is creepy, but slightly less creepy than the anti-communion bigot in the Off Topic forum. I know -- maybe these are the same person?!

The 0-3 Hancock Panthers defeated the Sidwell Quakers 21-20 last weekend. Prior to playing the Quakers, the Hancock Panthers had been outscored 95-17.

You seem obsessed with the Sidwell stalker?

``Sidwell won again last week. They were losing to the Model Secondary School for the DEAF, but rallied to win in the 4th quarter.

You are obsessed. Why do you care about Sidwell's football team so much. I'd just like to know. It's like you are a Sidwell football team stalker. Did the team do something bad to you?

then again I have no idea if there are hot girls at Sidwell

one advantage of not having a great football team is that the football players don't monopolize the hot girls.
