IIRC he was all set to come on board but at the last minute his military obligations stopped the whole deal. He was a pretty active poster over on Bnuts(when it was still tolerable) as far as currently the Lancaster info sounds good to me. I hope he's doing well wherever he is.

The last post from Cliff on BNuts I remember he had just returned from overseas and sounded a little shaken up. It sounded like he would have liked to tried to walk on again but did some soul searching and needed to take care of some other things first. I'm inferring some of this from the tone of his post as not much was said. For those that weren't on BNuts at that time the short version is he came back from the Marines and was excited to walk on at OSU. He posted a fair amount and I for one really enjoyed it and was pulling for him. The best I could tell (I have no inside info here) he was called up and when he returned from his tour of duty walking on no longer was an option or his best option.

Scooter I am not saying you did not see what you saw, but coach Carpenter is a class act all the way. I played for him before he was the head coach at Lancaster, when he was the RB coach. He went out of his way to help anyone who needed help in anything, school, football, work, personal. If he shoved the player I am sure there would have been a review with the OHSAA on this.

This has nothing to do with anything, but my 7 year old daughter has coach Carpenter's wife as her gym teacher. My daughter says that she is a drill sargeant. I told her to suck it up and get daddy some Buckeye tickets....

kids these days need to suck it up. i know a kid who had a rolled ankle and missed gym class for a few weeks. in my day a broken league equaled time spent onthe track running timed miles.

It was during the Lancaster/Hilliard Davidson playoff game. HD RB Heywood was run out of bounds on the Lancster sideline. Josh Dougherty went to help him up. Carpenter pushed Josh off the sideline. Both hands on Josh's shoulders. He had to catch himself from falling backward. Everyone in the Davidson stands just stood there in shock. Not one of us believed what we saw. This came minutes after one of the Gales LB's spit in Heywood's eye and said "Take that and like it nigger" at the bottom of the pile. Heywood was so incensed he was removed from the game to cool off by coach White.

Wow that is dissappointing, to hear that he did that. I was not at the game so I have no idea. The "nigger" comment does not suprise me at all. I have been called Cracker, Honkey, etc etc in almost every game we played when we played in Columbus, Dayton, or Cleveland. Just stupid people everywhere I guess....

Last thing I want to do is make this a race thing, but I am not sure I agree with you on that. Being called a honekey or white trash in my opinion is the same as calling someone "nigger". In both cases it should never ever be used. Sad to hear that is was used by a player at LHS, but again I heard all the time at almost every school in OCC

Scooter,

You taking context from a 17 year old kid caught up in the emotion of a playoff game? Coach Carpenter also gets emotional at times, which is sometimes good for a coachto do. He is only human... I am sure he did not intentionally shove the kid. Coach Carpenter is a class act on and off the field. If he is such a bad person, you tell me why Bobby Carpenter and Jonathan Carpenter turned out to be class acts on and off the field?
