As a long-time Amherst alum and fan, I hate that my first post on these boards has to come under these circumstances. It's become clear that the men's soccer team culture has been nothing but trouble over the past few years. Whether that stems from Serpone or the players themselves, I can't say—but it's certainly different from when I was there, and it pains me to admit it.

Jose, I understand the instinct to defend Amherst, but there was no need for name-calling or insults. I've followed the boards for a few years now, and I almost feel accountable for the young Amherst supporter who has spoiled the friendly nature of this thread. We need more voices like EnmoreCat representing us here.

I hope this is the last post on the subject—it doesn't need or deserve any more stage time.
