I appreciate my high school's volleyball team, but by the gods do I hate Crazybeard McSportsdude, the hyper-spirited wrestling coach who takes it upon himself to announce things at school assemblies.
My school's volleyball team just won state. To celebrate, the school put on an assembly. This is the RRAAAAAGGGGEEEE part. You see, when the Knowledge Bowl team won state last year, our 'assembly' was actually just a footnote. The Track team was going off to their State competition, and everyone on the team was getting recognized, and there was a lot of cheering. Right at the end, while people were leaving, Crazybeard tells everyone, "Oh, yeah, and Knowledge Bowl won state. Isn't that awesome?" I didn't mind too much then. Fast forward to today. Everyone is called to the gymnasium for an assembly by Crazybeard, and for the next hour, they talk about how great the volleyball team is. They got the mayor, the superintendent, the school board director, the principle, the ASB president, the team coach, and both captains to make a speech. Crazybeard led everyone in those silly forced cheers for twenty minutes. To cap it all off, he pointed out that this was the first state trophy my school had won since Cross Country got one in 2005. Bearing in mind, of course, that the trophy we won last year is two feet from him at the front office when he does the morning announcements every morning.
I was pissed off, so I gathered some people who also noticed this error, and we talked to him. Apparently he 'didn't want to throw two assemblies into one', so we're getting recognition next month. When math team leaves for state. Six months after the fact. The best we'll probably get from him is, "Hey, these people got a trophy, too!". The least he could do is pretend he respects us.
At least it's incentive to win again this year. He'll shit bricks when we're the first team in exactly 100 years to win two titles in a row. Also, we'll make sure we get some other person to announce at that one because none of us trust him at all.
