First and foremost to Great Falls.........and then to all the rest that always say there is not much difference between the two divisions...........49-6!!!!!

 

And that's the untouchable, the unbeatable the 50 game win streak Gladiators that you all said could hold their own in AAA for the past several years. NO Excuses. The game was at Great Falls and you know with the HATE between these two teams that Great Falls had EVERYONE on hand for the game. 

 

LOVE IT!!!! And so does every other team and player in AAA and quite honestly probably the majority of the AA guys as well.

 

49-6................SMH

so tell me why again it was such an important move to force a team 10 hours away from the closest competition to play in a division outside of their skill level. and what again is the insentive for a aa team to play in aaa when dbags like yourself tend to make the comments like this.

Memo to ALL AA teams: win as often and as big as you want in your division; just don't come on here and tout your accomplisments unless you're ready to get your asses forced up into a league you CANNOT compete in. To all you people living in a dream, there's a HUGE difference between being competitive in the AA and holding your own in the AAA.

What about the bulldawgs or the rebels? they lost BIG today. you gonna talk sh*t about them too? they can't hack it in the big bad AAA? Ya there is a difference but before you go tooting your own horn and walkin around with a big sense of empowerment because you belong to a "better" division why don't you look around your division first.

Go ahead mr. anonymous, who started this thread. If you are gonna talk sh*t about one team that got beat big, you gotta inculde them all. Talk about how the Bulldawgs "don't belong" and talk about how the Rebels "don't belong" to your exclusive AAA that there is no sense in moving up for.

Fact is we're two weeks into the season and the GLADIATORS, and Bulldawgs, and Rebels all lost by multiple scores to really good teams. You're way out of bounds to be blowing this up.

Hold on..... The Rebels are back to back AAA champs. Last year, undefeated. They lost big on a 10 hour drive. Your usage of them is ridiculous. People have said for the last three years that the Bulldawgs may not belong in AAA based off their talent. It is their organization that puts them in the AAA. So they have been brought up also already. Oo Now, I played the Great Falls team today. Do I think they should be AAA? YES! Will they struggle in AAA? YES! Will it make them a better team in the long run? If they want it to. Teams have struggles with transition. But I am one that always feels that playing the best, makes you the best. Losing happens. Losing big happens. Happened to us. Happened to others. All in where they decide they want to go with it. Will it be motivation to get better? Will it be their cop out to "we shouldn't have been 'forced' into AAA"? We shall see. Good game Great Falls. I had a lot of fun. Hopefully some of the guys up there that viewed us in a negative light got to know us a little bit and realized, we aren't THAT bad. HaHa! That being said, "two years in the making" and all that talk for THAT?! HaHaHaHa!! Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I'll also say that I hate that 387 different people all post under the same name, "anonymous". That ish is WHACK RMFL website. Anyway.... Good to be back out there and unproductive as always. Good luck all. Chris Hooper #17

Dan Buhler is no longer affiliated with the Spartans. He is my Area Rep for officials in Idaho. Dan is a good official that I will stand by.

Just wanted to say thanks to Great Falls for being great hosts.

Awesome game, great community and don't count these guys out. Tough, hard nose football was played yesterday. They were missing a few guys and will be hard to beat for anyone traveling to Memorial Stadium. Best of luck to them the rest of the way.

As far as the AA/AAA argument, it is what it is. Great Falls is exactly where they are because they earned it. They are a AAA team and organization. I'm proud to call them a member AAA team.

Heal up, and to next week!

Even though emotions on the field got heated that's where we left them.

Great Game Spartans. We'll meet up again in the playoffs for sure.

And like Kyto said, Great Falls is right where they deserve to be. Up with us in AAA.

Dan hasn't been a coach for the Spartans for a few years. He was the white hat last week and none of the stampede had any issues. The fact that you'd even attempt to blame anything on refs is crazy. That was the most even called game I've seen in awhile. Spartans won fair and square and are moving on to the next game. Stogs

The argument is whether a team should be FORCED up to AAA, vs choosing to move up. That's all that I'll say.

As a Coach in this league that coached against and knows Dan.  I would have no problem if he was a official in a game that we played against the Spartans.  I also officiate games and as much as people don't believe it when you put the stripes on and go on the field or the court you really do not care who wins or loses no matter who you know on what team.

I know that if Dan could no call a fair game with the Spartans he would not ref the game, because that is the type of man he is.

I too know Dan Buhler well, dating back to my early years with the Boise Roughriders, Matadors and Spartans.. I know him as a man of integrity and wants to do the best possible job he can at whatever venture he is involved in, including being a football referee. To make a statement about a man you probably don't even know, is shallow and irresponsible. In fact ,I'm quite sure you don't know him. Because if you did,you wouldn't even make a statement like that.

And as far as being "forced up to AAA". That has been the rule since the formation of the AA/AAA split. It just wasn't enforced as it should of been which has created this illusion that teams are being forced up. It is my understanding that this rule will be inforced in the future. So AA champs will simply be following league policy and will be moving up by rule, not force as you so incorrectly put it Anonymous. If they don't like it, they don't have to be a part of the RMFL.

I wasn't calling out the Rebels or the Bulldawgs. I am sorry I even used their names. I just thought it was bullsh*t that this guy starting this thread attacks the Glads and the entire AA because of one game. I was just pointing out other games that did not go so well for certain teams and pointing out that one game does not matter at this point.

Well after all the talking and build up to this game...I guess the Shock are laughing the loudest

I've heard the talking from both sides the last couple years and finally we can put this to rest

Ironic that the shock are on here taking the high road, and not ONE gladiator is giving them props

*rings dinner bell* now serving CROW!

RevolUSO- If you noticed none of the gladiators have been posting on the site anymore. Most of the trash talkers that started all that crap are no longer on the team. I watched the game and i will give props to the Shock. They outplayed the Gladiators in every way possible. I played with the gladiators last year and i will say that this years team is almost completely different from last year. They had a lot of holes to fill from people leaving. They will get better but i think that it is going to take some time.

You ALL take this a little too serious. I'm playing on an AA team. There is NO DIFFERENCES between AA and AAA, except for the talent that you have. You either have them or not.  I can start a AAA team next year and with the folks I know and dominate the ENTIRE league. 

It all depends on the talent that you may aquire, if you recruite well in AA, you can definately dominate in AAA.  The differences isn't the same differences like it is from Division 1 football and the NFL.

 

so EVERYBODY, shut that AAA vs AA talk up.!

Anybody who even questions Dan Buhler's integrity has no idea what they are talking about.  I met him from being in this league and have never met anyone yet who is more of a stand up guy than him.  I would be willing to bet that not one player in this league, outside of those who just played in Boise, would ever doubt the character of Dan.  Those who played in the All Star game a few years ago with Dan coaching got to see first hand what a great guy he is. To put into comparison, I would dare say that Dan Buhler's character would easily be right on par with St. George's Doug Cook as far as respect.  That's just too bad that a football game could have this outcome.

Hey, a shout out to the Shock. Good game guys! You came and played good ball. You outplayed us plain and simple, i will be the first to admit it. But we will improve and fix the holes we had and come back next week ready to step our game up. Can we compete at this level? I think so but we have a lot of work to do to get there. good game Shock and hope you had a safe trip home.

I would like to thank everyone for letting us all know of the great character of said official. I don't think his character has been questioned here? I think the character of the organization for allowing that situation to develop has been questioned. We lost the game on our own, we needed to lose a game put us back in our place hopefully we can rebound. Much respect for Cam would run with you anytime!

Hey 8,

We are all glad to help clear up any doubt about Dan's character, and as you can see several have backed him. So that should erase any doubt on the issue. The original post appeared to believe that Dan was still a Spartan coach, which would be a conflict of interest. That was what was in question. Jess cleared that up and informed the message board readers that he was no longer a part of that organization. If you still question the Spartans for allowing this, you then do question Dan's integrity, because it would appear that you are the only one that doubts whether he could ref the game fairly. Since the game has been played and it doesn't appear that there were any issues with it, then this should be a non-issue and so why don't you just let it go.

Thanks,
The message board readers

 Hahahaha!!!

That's as stupid as saying a Dodge is the same as a BMW!!
Sure they're both cars...but worlds apart. lol
The Gladiators can tell you first hand there's a big difference between AA and AAA.
So go ahead Mr. Anonymous...create your super power AAA next year and dominate the entire league!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA. R...O...F...L

Please please please just stay out of stuff! You ask why #8 couldnt let it go, why did you have to post? It appears as if it would have been dead if you would just be quiet too. I mean seriously who made you the people's voice?

Just keep focused on winning the AA so you can finally move up next year and get some. However, I have a sneaky feeling that you will retire when or if it ever happens.

I dont care how many or what you say about Dan Buhlers character. Ten people could say that but I am sure that ten others could say the opposite. It would be like Coach Croshaw reffing our game. I believe Croshaw is a stand up guy  but I would never have him ref a game. Why not just avoid all possibilities.

With all that being said. The game is over and the Spartans have won. Congrats to the Spartans on the BIG win. I really HOPE we see you again. Much respect to Cam Hall. Class act guy who came over and talked to us about the situation. Which he fully understands. Now on to the next.

@Tom Bennett,

 

I swear Tom I am gonna really chalk this one up to age. My grandpa is just as cranky as you and wants to argue with anyone and everyone. You must really be missing Golden and having withdrawls, so you decide to come on here and try me out.

Well, I will try and just respond to your ignorant comments. First of all, how can you comment and make a judgement on a game that you were not a part of and were not even there to watch? Tell me, how? Let me guess what you will say to that "I dont need to be there, because if my boyfriend Dan tells me that it was a certain way, then it was" Just me assuming your answer!

I mean seriously Tom? What is your deal? Are you looking for a position on the future league staff? Do you get neglected at home? I am concerned for you and your emotional and mental state! I really am!

When you put something stupid like "The message board readers" at the end of your post. Of course I am gonna question who made you the peoples voice? Dont be so ignorant and arrogant. Truthfully you have nothing to be arrogant about! Oh great you won some debates with golden. Oh great you can come on here and get in arguements with people.

I actually agreed and appreciated a lot of your posts. Especially all your posts about the league when Travis took over and how you were playing devils advocate. Loved your views.

But please dont come on here and try and be a superhero. The avengers movie is already done and coming out in a theater near you. So just relax with your heroic comments.

From what I see bright guy, how can you say the Rebels started this thread? Appears to be some anonymous figure discussing the Shock and Gladiators game.

I came to #8's defense just as you did Dan's! 8 is on my team and a great friend. But guess what I would not allow 8 to ref a game either, if he were to retire. Its all about appearance and perception. And if you tell me that crap doesnt matter then I will for sure know that you are really old and senile.

 A good example I was given today, if you were a teacher Tom Bennett would you do an interview with a good looking 16yr old girl behind closed doors and at night in your class? Well, not sure about you? But most teachers probably wouldnt do that, right? I wonder why? Can you tell me? BUT wait this teacher is the best teacher in the world, and You Tom Bennett can vouch for him and his character (thats assuming that your vouching carries any weight). So whats the answer? The answer is NO THEY WOULD NOT DO IT TOM BENNETT. WHY? BECAUSE OF PERCEPTION AND APPEARANCE! Do you understand that Tom? Do you really?

But if you read the post I didnt really refer to 8, but to the reason you always feel like you are some type of RMFL AVENGER! Relax those cheeks over there and just accomplish your one goal of winning that GREAT AA championship. Then retire from the Matadors and retire from this board and league for good!

Let me just end on this comment right here! I am sure TIM DONAGHY'S best friends and family thought the same of him and all the crap you are saying.(Not comparing Dan Buhler to him, but giving an example) Look at him now old man TOM!

We the Rebels have already been in discussion with league staff about the game and all the things that happened over the weekend. So please just go back to your goal of winning the beloved AA and then get that 401k baby! Cuz we both and all on this board knows you aint gotta a chance in the AAA! And when I say "you" I am referring to you as a quarterback! Not the Matadors! I have too much respect for Jesus and the Dors. They will be a team to deal with when they finally make that jump to AAA.

And since we are speaking about Jesus Why dont you go talk to him about the situation before you come at me or anyone else. In a lot your posts you always claim that you have counseled or consulted with your GM. Well, I strongly advise you to do so in this situation.

Tom good luck to you and your team. But let AAA handle theirs and you handle yours (AA).

 

Wayne Alofipo

Continuation......

Dont know why this part did not show up on my last post but here it is.

And as far as the game on Saturday between the Spartans & Rebels. It's a done deal. The Spartans have won and I give them a lot of respect for the win. I am sure you didnt have your reading glasses on TOM, but if you did, Cam Hall commented and stated that all was good. He is a member and leader of the Spartans. So if he isnt complaining and trying to keep this stupid thing going, what makes you think that you need to? That is what really needs to be discussed. Tom's issues? Not the Spartans/Rebels game my friend. So as I said before. Tom get re-focused your ever so important task and goal of winning the AA. And only worry about that super hero.

Wayne Alofipo

Wayne ,

Well I am impressed that I ruffle your feathers so badly that you devote so much time and effort to respond to me.

I didn't need to be there. I heard it first hand from an extremely reputable source.( congrats you almost had it.)

I have no interest in being a league staff member so you can put that to rest. But thanks for your concern for my health, but I assure you that I'm fine.

Again I said message board readers in jest. JOKING. I do that sometimes. Arrogant? me? Not hardly.

I'm glad you appreciated some of my other posts. Not much fun when you're on the other side though huh?

Defense of friends. Good we understand each other on one thing. But appearance and perception don't mean sh##. Results do.

That makes your next point irrelevant.

RMFL Avenger?? hahaha Good one.

I'll retire when I'm good and ready. In fact I think I will play AAA next year. Why? Cause I can.

What?? Tim who??

Glad you are discussing what happened this weekend amongst your team. I'm glad to see that after all this jibberish you're finally going to address the issue at hand

Respect for the Matadors? I'm a Matador. Last I checked, Quarterback plays a major role in a teams success.

Trust me, Jesus won't want no part of this.

And why do people always wish you good luck after after taking you to the whipping post. I'll never get that.

Nobody needs to complain from the Spartans. They're still partying from kicking your a$$.

Superhero?? hmmmm. well.... Nawwww not for me. I like the comic books though.

Wayne --Good luck to you as well the rest of the way.

Wayne,

Ok, so here's the deal. I have just as much right as you or anyone else to state my opinion on here. I think you are actually talking to the wrong person. Why don't you tell 8 to stay off of here with such ridiculous accusations. Maybe you might tell him a public apology to Dan is in order. Dan Buhler is a person I call a friend, and I'm just doing what a friend would do when that friend is unfairly accused of wrongdoing. Defending him, because Dans too classy a guy to address this on here, and that's just what friends do. I don't see you telling Hoop to mind his stuff when he defends Kyto or vice versa. That is the only reason I responded to this post. And I very highly doubt that you could find two people, let alone ten that know Dan, who would call out his integrity. I heard what went down at your game, and how some of the Rebels accused Dan of being on the take, and conspired to throw the game in the Spartans favor. I can see why you wanted this to just go away. Again, anyone that knows Dan, knows this is senseless dribble.

You know Wayne, I was done with this post. But you chose to attack me, and open up this can of worms. There is really something wrong here when neither Dan or myself have done anything wrong, but yet you attempt to turn this on me, when it is members of the Rebels who are responsible for this unjust fiasco,and just had to bring it here to this board. Remember. It was one of your own that started this post, not me. And I wouldn't have any problem with any ex-coach of an opponent reffing a game of mine if he so chose to do so.

blaming games on refs? im probably the biggest loud mouth ******* on here (ok im the biggest ****e talker ever) but even i wouldn't do that. i learned in elementary that u can never blame someone else for your inability to make plays and win a game..... we all get beat sometimes u just gotta take it like a man u know! even if the whole situation seems fishy........

Tommy Old Man, you responded as "the message board readers" which is a BROAD encompassing statement, you shouldn't make such statements because us other readers don't necessarily agree with you. That being said, 8 and Wayne and whoever else is just as entitled to THEIR opinion as you are to yours. Old math trick: two wrongs have never made a right. I don't know buhler and in my time in this life I've learned that no matter how great or terrible the individual may be, you can always find people who can say both good and bad things about them. Once again, freedom of opinion.

I don't know why I even bother with anonymous posters. But I said that in jest. I know all too well that many of this board's readers aren't going to agree with me. Yes everyone's entitled to their opinion and I've never said otherwise. But I believe making outlandish, and unfounded accusations towards another in a public forum crosses the line. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone did it to you. Oh, but you're anonymous, you don't have to worry about that. And your math equation is irrevalant here.

I didn't read anywhere on this thread that #8 was questioning Buhler's integrity

Seems like everybody couldn't wait to jack Buhler off on this thread...how about lettin Dan do his own talking...he doesn't need anybody else cheerleading for him.......just an observation is all

Tommy, show me ONE spot in this ENTIRE thread that personally attacks Buhler. You felt the need to jump on here to defend someone over what exactly? Font take this as an attack on you, I'm honestly curious what has been stated that is so insinuary that you felt the need to come on here defend his honor?

Honestly Dan doesn't have to defend himself. The game was won or lost between two teams. The refs had nothing to do with outcome. Period.

Over the last 10 years I have coached a lot of games, little league, high school, and rmfl. I have lost more than I have won. I have seen amazing officiating(i know that is oxy moron) and I have seen horrific officiating. One thing I have never seen is an officiating crew winning or losing a game. They can influence a game, they may even make a back breaking call. But typically, when the emotions are gone, the rhetoric ends and it is put to film and review you will see that there were 48 minutes, over 100 plays where 22 men have an opportunity to win or lose a game. It is said that one play will never win a game but we always feel that only one will lose it.

I am not on here to defend Dan, I don't know him from adam. supposedly he officiated our game the week before. If so, he didn't do any worse than any other official typically did. Our game was down to the wire, 48 minutes of two teams being seperated by 3 points and yet there was never any more bias than a typical home team official. Losing sucks!!! But calling out people sucks worse.

I have a ton of respect for Wayne and for Todd. It sucks to see this becoming something on here. This is when we just have to hope that Saturday gets here soon so we can argue and moan about another game, another should of would of...

I will say this, we played the Spartans and there is definitely no shame in losing to them. And If I were a betting man I would say that the Rebels will get another shot this year. So, lets put this to bed and move on towards this week cause there is a lot of good football to be played.

SO I started this thread and the point of the thread was solely targeted at those that in the past have failed to recognize the MAJOR difference in the two divisions MOSTLY the Gladiators. All anyone that has been around the league for the past few years has heard is how GREAT the Gladiators were/are. Countless times all of you have stated "They would hold their own in AAA" "2nd best team in all the RMFL" BLAH BLAH BLAH. Coutnless times I've read posts about the gap between AA and AAA being a player or two. Got a kick out of the dude in this post (That already got lit up BTW) that said the only difference is TALENT........PSSSHHHHH REALLY I thought we were talking about unifrom color schemes. 

 

The comparison of the Bulldawgs and Rebels was absurd. ARE YOU SERIOUS? The Rebels??? Two time defending AAA Champs? Top 10 National Ranking? Those Rebels? The Bulldawgs probably aren't AAA material HOWEVER I've never seen a single post from a single Bulldawg stating how great they were. I respect them for playing up with the big boys, and they would be in the mix every year in the AA ship. But the Rebels??? C'mon man.

 

I also don't know how this got on a Dan Buhler officitaing rant. I'll make an unbiased opinion on that. Dan has always been a stand up guy in the league, HOWEVER I can see the potential issue the Rebels would have in the situation. I wasn't at the game, I can't say wether it did or did not have an impact on the game, BUT with that being said I also don't believe this game was won or lost on the shoulders on Dan. 

 

Bottom line here is this a solid league. A place for players young and old to get together for a few months a year and mix things up. I've met a lot of great people in the league and appreciate those friendships. BUT the difference in AA to AAA is significant. Talent, Roster, Depth TOP to BOTTOM BETTER. Is there players in AA that could thrive in AAA? Absolutely. PLAYERS NOT TEAMS. This is not meant to be a knock on AA it is just the perfect time based off last weeks game to point out the REALITY that there are two divisions for a reason.

Just to comment on this threads original context. And while Old man Tom is writing his book long response to my response, because he has to have the last word or it will never end.

I will say this. I am guilty of this as well, wether it be through some of my indirect or direct quotes or comments. But I believe that this bashing of teams who move up and are going to move up, or AA in general needs to stop. We all know that their is a difference between AA & AAA. Anyone who denies that is just, well I guess just that "in denial"! But I truly hope that the Gladiators and any team that moves up is able to be successful and thrive in AAA.

Wether we AAA guys wanna believe it or not, because maybe we are too prideful or "in denial" as well, we need the AA as much as they need us. We are one league. We have a common goal of making the RMFL the best it can be on many levels. Do we have common opinions of how that is to be accomplished? NO! Thats where we need a leader to get us in the right direction. Do I think Travis and his staff have accomplished some of that? Yes! Is their a lot more to do. HECK YES.

Hopefully the future is bright and fruitful for the RMFL. I know I dont like to get complacent and stay mediocre. Thats when it starts to fade. Gotta keep moving forward with a purpose to create longevity and sustainability. Just my opinions.

Tom Bennett,

Well, now we all know what type of person you are. Or maybe just me. Appears everyone else already knew. Thats what I get for giving people the benefit of the doubt!

You always complain about others coming on here or responding to your posts with no relevant arguement or really no meat to it. Well, my friend it appears that you have done the same. Horrible come back TOM! I expected more.

Hope I have been somewhat of a "high" for you and your addiction of arguing. Trust me I know for a fact you will never play AAA.

Please have your wife forward me the obituary. Take care.
