If that’s true, then that explains it. It also means that nothing‘s gonna change. Their next move will be 3 team regions with eight classifications.

You might want to tone it down a little bit coach. When the right people complain they gonna come for you and they will shut you down again. I don’t know if you was around for that, but it did stop it. I think Vance had already been involved in some shenanigans that involved the good oh boy network stepping in and reeling him back in. So he kept a lid on it at HHS. Lacey is about to get a lesson on the hierarchy. With him not coaching in this state before he probably just thinks that’s the way business is done.

That loser wrecks everything he touches and he’s never been held accountable for the destruction he has left in his wake. I have heard the increased revenue angle brought up before. It’s my belief that any uptick in revenue is more than lost by decreased attendance in the regular season. Do they get a larger share of the gate for playoff games than regular season?

We get it by now. You are heavily invested in that jug.Maybe you could offer a suggestion on a solution or maybe you have some knowledge on why the regular season was neutered. There are other threads we can go back-and-forth in and believe me there’s some stuff in them that I could dig into. I want to keep this discussion about the failure now that we all have. Let’s save the trip back to win cheerleaders skirts, went past their ankles for another discussion.. thanks

Dang Bert that’s the most I ever seen you write. It could be fixed. If like I said every game is a region game. What these people that came up with the system that is in place now. have done is to make the regular season irrelevant. Now the question becomes is why? Did someone in that room point out what it would do? Is it done for money? Is it done unfairly I might add to nudge certain school districts into the playoffs where they couldn’t do it much before? This is a move.Bubba Hathorne would have proposed. Was it done this way because someone suggested let’s try to save the districts a little gas money? A thought only the most simplest of minds would make. My thought there is a disconnect in the way they view football for school districts then what the kids the parents and people that follow it like we do. They approach it as just another extra curricular activity and aren’t really concerned with the best team winning. Whatever their thought process is it’s too secretive and clandestine for my taste.. Having to hide things is a red flag that they know what they are doing is not beneficial to the public.

I know a game over a bottle of cheap brown liquor is fitting for the two teams, cutting competition off at the knees for everyone else.is not worth it.

I should have clarified I I was just tossing 5A out as a example. 5,6 and 7 A all three need to follow this format. Seed them after the season based on record and tee it up.

This crap now is so stupid and not thought out. If 7 classes were needed fine but don't destroy making it competitive. Make every game a playoff game.If you make the playoffs you will meet someone you already played. Twenty years ago this was the norm and it was awesome. Often the loser of the first would win in the tournament.

Going to 7 classes and four sorry district games was a stupid idea . I would like to know the mush brain that proposed the district setup. East Central Northeast Jones Purvis Stone VanCleave Wayne County Sumrall South Jones North Pike Natchez Laurel Brookhaven That's South 5A. 12 teams .11 games that are all district . Make it mean something again. Brookhaven may have to go to East Central twice. So be it . Get on the dam bus and ride. What's wrong with doing it ?

I still enjoy a ride on Friday as much as I ever have . I will do it now once or twice a year and as you said soak it in all the way there. Npw let me be more frank , this watered down nonregion thing has killed most of my trips I used to take. It feels different when you are traveling to a game that is the equivalent to a piece of folded light bread and a hot diet coke as a meal. Yes, the clock runs and somebody wins but that's all I see is stats for the records. This needs to be fixed. More region games.

Kat so much m more polished and comfortable speaking to the public now. He can go as high as he wants as an administrator. Matter of fact he better. I’m going to stay on him about. He’s a home grown asset for Wayne County.

I get what you are saying man and maybe the thread kind of veer away from the thread title but i think it went in the right direction. If the post season in our state were a half trashy wedding, Tupelo would have been the chubby ring bearer with a flat top mullet haircut from noxapeter. Then after people who would know, said they were recruiting they suddenly get a new position in the hierarchy. It has already resulted in one recent title and almost got another. They got scolded by I really don’t know who up there in Clinton but judging by the team of junior college size players from last year, they are laughing at your reprimand. Gulfport was being mentioned along with Hattiesburg but judging by some people in the Pine belt, Hattiesburg seems to be more brazen. There was some confusion maybe on purpose about what’s allowed or not allowed by the fine people that make those calls. That’s where the threads at. Here is the truth of the matter . There are some of the states especially the bigger schools that are starting to skirt the rules. These schools are contenders. It’s wrong. It’s not fair to the teams kids that they play. It creates an advantage that other teams cannot exploit. Where is the right in any of that ? In my gut, I don’t think there is a governing body in place that is capable of handling this problem.

I'm not sure I follow what you are saying, Are you guys under the impression that all that needs to happen is for the parents to sign something and the new #11 just trots out to practice ? Or do you mean something different ?

See I have to differ with you on this because there does seem to be a hierarchy of who can do this and who can’t. I’m not picking on you guys with this but once about every 10 or 15 years, they have to slap you guys hands in one form or another for doing this kind of thing. Meanwhile, you hear whispers of others doing it, but nothing really official ever comes out. It also seems that the association looks the other way as long as the schools doing the recruiting are pulling from the down trodden . Example everyone knows what was going on with petal and Anthony Alford but it was all just a wink and a nod. But when they started messingng with Poplarville it became public and they scolded Petal. Look at how Poplarville came up after that.. The cold hard fact of the matter is that it is all being run by a bunch of good old boys who cite very ambiguous policies to enforce their so-called fairness. There needs to be new rules adopted to meet the demands of modern times. If they don’t that association is just living on very borrowed time.

That's the word I got too. They are cocky as hell. They are about to get hit some with that schedule though.
