Biggest conspiracies' on your team or best inside jokes...

We had a old coach named Jeff Pierce...he used to say every time there was a low flying plane near our practice field...which was a lot since we are located in the middle of a corn field(crop duster and a airport fairly close).  He would say Linton spy...lol...we would be like what?  In that plane...there are Linton people watching our practice...lol.  We would always say...no way Coach Pierce...they dont need spies to beat us...lol  Now every time a plane comes over we yell...Linton Spy!

Anyway...I would love to hear stories like this...fun times!  I miss Coach Pierce...he made everyone laugh...he was a great guy!

The only 2 that I can think of that can be said in a public forum would be:

Does Your Back Hurt Sandy??? (In a very whiny, high pitch voice)

and

TACO MEAT!!!

Please do not ask for an explanation for either.

In the youth program at LCC, there was a running joke that, under the equipment shed, were the bones of a 3rd grade player who forgot to bring his helmet to practice one day.  Typically in the first couple of weeks of a season, the 4th graders would play that prank on a new 3rd grader who had forgotten some piece of equipment.  Always "nice" to walk up to the shed early in the season before practice and see some poor 3rd grader crying and worrying, with a bunch of 4th graders in the background snickering, that the coaches would bury him under the shed.

I recall coach Pierce... I think I played against him in high school.. not sure....

the conspiracy I recall is that NK would water the grass when we came to town... lol

This conspiracy theory is from a fan perspective.

From 2015-2018, Columbus East played in one of the very few five-team sectionals in 5A. That means three teams got a first round bye and two teams didn’t. Therefore, you had a 60% chance of getting a bye each year. In those four years, Columbus East never got a bye. If you do the math, the probability of never getting a bye in that four-year period is 2.56%. 

Bob Gaddis was the coach of Columbus East at that time and if you knew him well enough or played for him you knew how much he hated for his players to get out of a routine. He felt like it could affect the team mentally. So once the season started, the routine was that you had a game every Friday night. If you had a bye, that threw the routine off. Because of this, some of his former players and I would joke around that he used his influence as a key member of the coaches association to ensure Columbus East didn’t get a bye so that the routine didn’t get thrown off.

Let me be clear. We have zero evidence that this happened. We just thought it was quite the coincidence that the routine never got thrown off in those four years despite the 2.56% chance of never getting a bye.

Sounds more like hazing to me.

I consider it a badge of honor to this day.    That's a win for the Bombers, just not on the scoreboard that night
