Seems like some crazy shite went on with highschool football fans and Gus.

At the end of the day that is what it pretty much boils down to as the root cause.

I know a lot of people in NWA that despise him to this day because he recruited a lot of the best talent away from the small schools in the area and then turned around and beat the shite out of all of us with those guys.

We were 2A when I was a senior and Shiloh was 1A. They were forced to play up at our level because the teams in their conference refused to play them anymore. They played our entire conference for their "conference games" but their record went to their 1A conference. It was a really odd setup because they won their 1A conference by beating everyone in our 2A conference.
