Yeah the replacement K is related to my wife, he was pretty bummed about missing the EP.

I'm sure he's bummed but he doesn't have anything to be down about. Brader has been kicking forever and is one of the best in the area and even he occasionally misses an extra point.

Menards downfall to me is that is CONSTANTLY on the officials arse and that irritates to me no end.

I agree, I think he worries to much about it, but sometimes it helps get a makeup call here and there or atleast keep them them from flagging the same thing again.

For example the illegal procedure called in the first half when the running back went in motion and the defense jumped. He bitched and after that the motion that looked exactly the same later in the game didn't get flagged.

My problem with Menard is he's to damn aggressive. He goes for two and fakes punts way to much. ESJ was struggling on offense tonight and instead punting and pinning them deep, he fakes a punt and gives them the ball at midfield. This team is not good enough yet to do that kind of stuff, it's especially not good enough offensively to pass up points.

That said his offense is creative. I'm excited to see what he's able to do as Aucoin either gets better at QB, or a better QB comes along.

St. Aug wins 15-13.
