The EVSC Has No Sense of Humor

Dan “Rudy” Engler has been running ReitzFootball.com, the “unofficial” forum for discussing Reitz football since 1996. It wasn’t until April Fools Day that he caught the eye of the EVSC who was none too pleased with his April 1 joke.

Drew Bruno writing for the Courier & Press:

As a spoof, Engler, a Reitz graduate who now lives at Nashville, Tenn., had posted a story on the Web site and distributed it by e-mail that made it seem as though the company installing artificial turf at three EVSC football fields, including Reitz, was going out of business.

School officials were not amused, and on Saturday, Engler posted that his site would, therefore, “come to an end,” and its regular features, including a message board, were taken offline.

You can check out the letter he received from EVSC here. It sounds like the EVSC is overly sensitive to me. I’m fairly certain there are more pressing issues to be concerned with than one alum’s bad April Fools joke.

Update: Looks like EVSC and Engler have made peace.
