Why would you want to work with anyone who is obviously VERY anal? Someone who puts this out there is no one I’d want to work for. Is this kinda demeanor the exact reason why Sam is leaving?

Very small and very young here. Lost 8 starters on defense and 9 on offense.

I'm pretty sure both are federally funded schools.

It might to their fanbases. I dunno. It didn't mean much to the Brandon fans who were at our place last year and we were at their place this year. Most said they weren't driving to the coast for a game they really didnt care about. That being said, they probably still had over 1,000 fans go. We had the same sentiment from our own fans about Gulfport. It was a good game but it's not any kind of rivalry any of our fans care to see. I have my own personal list of who I'd like to play but I don't get a vote.

Let me phrase it a different way so you don't take it personally. Just because Long Beach and Desoto Central have the same off week. It's not feasible for them to play. There are over 200 schools to choose from. Pick a decent opponent that will give both teams a good gate and be profitable.

Seems like your feelings got hurt. Again, that wasn't directed at any school in particular so I'm not sure why you've got your panties in a wad. But feel free to keep lashing out if you need to.

At probably 75-80% of schools in Mississippi, profits from football funds every other sport. You not only lose money for Football you lose it for the other 20 - 25 sports that use those funds. If you think it's worth wasting money for your coach to stroke his ego, Go for it. "Experience" isnt paying for referees, uniforms, food, fuel, workers, electricity, maintainance, stipends, and everything else these schools have to pay for. It's easy to sit here and criticize when as a fan, you don't have to worry about how every sport gets funded.

I know we are changing our non-district opponents next year because while they were interesting matchups.. they had an awful gate for both schools. The cost of the away game, food, buses, and fuel wasn't covered by the gate of the next year at home.

That wasn't actually directed at anyone.. My whole point was that just because people have open dates, it doesn't make a matchup feasible.

Schools not only have to consider the matchup.. but also the gate. You could schedule a West Point versus a Picayune type of game... but how many people are going to travel each way to watch it in the age of live streams?

So.... Numbers don't matter.. except when they matter. Got it.

Brandon might need a 5 man front to stop that run. No average linebacker is stopping #0 short of a 5 yard gain per carry.

I'm hoping the players take them more serious this time around. That last matchup was too close for comfort. This might be just another game for most of the MC fans but a chance to beat MC in the playoffs is EVERYTHING to Germantown.

Thats the arrangement I heard of..
