My exact thoughts.

Hope so. Who wins that game then?

Admins... Please get rid of every other post, and just leave this one - pretty much sums it all up... +1000

What an asinine comment...

100% agree

All that may be true. Still, you have to keep within the Constitution and the tenets of our democracy. Find a way.

Neither I nor our democracy supports this...

Nah. Just cuz there are stupid rules on the books doesn’t mean we have to add more.

Because it would be a stupid rule.

Thx @Reagan Merry Christmas!

They are.

No, don’t do it. That is a complete undermining of democracy and our constitution. Just because Colorado has seen fit to break the rules of the Constitution, doesn’t mean that we should all go down that road to be spiteful.

Exactly. I mean, I don’t think there was a resulting problem overall, but you can’t blame that mid county ref calling the PNG game on a shortage.

I seriously doubt that was the case. I don’t think that’s the reason that official was chosen.

Amen.

Lumberton graduating a whole bunch of all district starters. May not be as good a game as you’re hoping for.

No ma’am. It’s smart strategy. Just like an O Lineman grabbing up under a D Lineman’s pads and holding him til he pulls away. Part of the strategy and game. And holding is actually illegal whereas the same color gloves aren’t.

1..While I don’t disagree with your coaches vs athletes statement, I’m saying why settle for one or the other. It’s not a choice you have to make. Have both. 2. I think the markers make prettier pictures. I’m sticking with the markers. Plus they’re scented.

No reason for insults. I didn’t miss the point. I’m saying it takes all 3 to be the best. Besides, I’ve graduated to washable markers.

Give me a team with great players and a great coach and a great community, and I’ll beat your well coached average players every time though.

Agreed 100%

More of a combination. Community has just as much to do with it as anything; For instance, PNG's community spirit is what allowed them to spend thousands of dollars to hire Dodge to even go find a great coach. Without the right school board and community, that ain't happening in the first place... And I'm not a PNG guy, but I recognize one of the finest football communities in the nation when I see it.

Agreed, but what if they DO match your uniform and the other team's uniform too? Still got a problem...

Field a team with a good coach but the kids are slow, all Freshmen, unintelligent and possibly mentally disadvantaged. How much winning will that coach do? Now I understand that’s a stupid example, but it’s just to serve as an exploded view. You gotta have a combination of coaching, kids & community which includes parents and administration. It takes all 3.

Gonna take more than an inspirational passage for Beaumont to “Get it figured out”.
