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.

Madison Central 2025 Pearl Brandon at Brookhaven at Northwest Rankin Warren Central Oxford Bye Week at Murrah at Germantown at Starkville Clinton

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..

Trying to figure out which rule applies here that wouldn't apply to the ridicule we see of coaches on a weekly basis.

I could see 100 predictions with MC over Starkville and it doesn't make me any less concerned. Starkville always gets better this time of the year.

There's excuses.. then there's outright awful officiating. I have no problem with them being publicly shamed when they make blatantly biased calls. Perhaps some public ridicule will prompt them to do better. Same as the public ridicule of coaches. They get paid to do a job just like the coaches. They aren't above scrutiny.

The coaches get called out week to week for boneheaded decisions. Why don't we see the officials names in the news when they screw up? We should make a thread listing the worst officials in each region. Make them as relevant as they try to be.

The bottom of 6A being half the size of the top of 6A was the issue. The gap in student population between the bottom and top of 6A was the bigger than the size gap between top of 1A and the bottom of 6A. Teams were in regions with schools twice their size. Olive Branch with 849 students was in the region with Desoto Central with 1553 students. Thats a 704 student gap in the same region. The top of 1A is 156 students.. The gap from 1A to 6A would be 693 students.

Doesn't the State Department still send out people for head counts? Is this used at all? I know they used do it to verify the # because it determines funding.

Murrah's decision to go independent was after an 0-11 season. This year they've only played schools smaller than them and are 4-0. Murrah has 995 students.... Port Gibson has 278, Jefferson County has 246, Perry Central has 222, Kosciusko has 442. If it's the coach's decision, I guess I can understand him wanting to play tiny schools for a winning record for his job security but even if they go undefeated they CAN'T make the playoffs. It just seems a bit cowardly to not even try to compete in your own class.

When teams film ODK, they should let it run during the handshake.

Is there more ridiculous region travel than Clinton to Tupelo and visa versa? They should swap Tupelo and Oxford. Not like Oxford is a short trip either but it's better than Tupelo.

You can look at the MHSAA reclassification list to see who has submitted. Right off the bat I see PCS.
