Finding glee in that and advising him to show more class is pretty small. We can be better than that.
? Enough respect?
It was disrespectful to NDSU, the refs, and logic.
The bison didn't so much win as they lost?
The refs played a role in the outcome of the game?
Ran out of time? They were more physical than us?
W T F?
I like winning, but I like good sportsmanship more.
I care more about how our players carry themselves than I do about making the big play.
Dinucci embarrassed himself, his team, and his school. Just like a bison would have done if he would have said those things. And I would cringing in horror.
The bison do well in part becaus they do things right.
They arw humble, accept responsibility, and recognize the role of their teammates.
I'm using this as a teachable moment for my son.
