Coach Jim Schlossnagle:
Loved your post-game interview. Especially your comment about the home crowd energy that you wished you could get that type of energy at every game. CHEERS to that!
We have a great crowd, and while even some of them can get a little nasty and personal with the opposing teams, in moments where the “golf clappers” go silent, someone is picking up the slack. Love the Ole’ Ole’ Ole’ after an opposing team error, and these loud crowders give blue a piece of their mind on bad calls, and the best donut shops in town. They also tend to be the ones to turn around and get the 3000+ stomping and clapping at the right points on key plays.
Bring it again tonight!
Cheers Coach! Thanks for enjoying and regularly the rowdy crowd. We try and make Lupton a bad place for competitors to want to come to.
Cheers to the Heckling Students –
Who regularly show up and hurl some of the most creative heckling out, which I have seen on the NCAA circuit. I’d enter us right up there with Duke students in Basketball…

Coach Lopez: Your post-game was as funny as Parcells or Sqaq….
From my seats in my lower level reserved seats, my wife and I observed one of the worse leadership things we had seen since her old COO cleared about a bunch of his low level troops to get better seats for he and his family at a Lyle Lovett concert in Austin….
Fast Forward to 2010, and my witness of something that made me more uncomfortable from a leadership and class perspective than I have ever seen from a high level administrator.
During the later innings of the game, A/AD Davis Babb, a Super Class Act, appeared to be forced to do dirty work for his classless boss, Emperor Chris Del Conte, who seemingly invoked the emperor’s right of eminent domain when looking for seats outside the AD suite for he, his wife, and 2 daughters (who appeared very cordial and nice BTW). DB, uncomfortably, asked for the four seats to be vacated since they “belonged” to someone else.
Who did those seats, about to be grabbed by eminent domain, so that Emperor DC could sit there, belong to? We may never know, other than I know for certain that EDC did not sit in those seats ALL SEASON. But the four members of a family that looked like they were there about 8 strong on two rows were clearly, all Alums or spouse Fans, ranging in age from the mid 20s – mid60s…
What’s more unbelievable – EDC + family, got up 2 innings later, left and apologized to no one, other than saying when passing the family on the concourse “hey you can have those seats back now….”
What’s downright classless – that all around class act, Asst AD Babb returns, either from embarrassment at his boss or at the direction of EDC, to apologize to the family once they had sat back down in disbelief...
Now maybe the seats were not theirs to begin with, but there were a lot of lower bowl, season ticket holder seats empty, and as long as they get filled with yelling fans, then I am fine with squatters taking vacant seats. But even squatters know that the code of squatters is don’t unsquat previously squatted on seats….
I guess EDC missed the class I got as a 2LT - on “leaders eat last, get the worse seats, and always take care of troops, fans, supporters, staff, first”.
You stay Classy, Emperor Del Conte… Next time ask someone in a Frog Cap to get a round of drinks and wash your car while your cruising around the Country Club Pool circuit you love doing so well that you get anointed with your contract.
