Wow...this an embarrassment. Not sure there are words for this one...
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - No helmets. No pads. No game.
Two days before St. Paul's College was supposed to open the 2009 football season, the Tigers canceled Saturday's contest with West Virginia Wesleyan. The reason, West Virginia Wesleyan athletic director Ken Tyler said Friday, was a lack of equipment.
In an instant, the thrill and anticipation of finally playing fell flat.
"I'm flabbergasted and disappointed for our players," Tyler said. "They've been working really hard. They've been peaking and looking forward to kick off the season. It's a real punch in the gut. Beyond that, I feel it was very unprofessional. We would never, ever even consider doing that."
