KFDM COOP Posted September 6, 2007 Author Report Posted September 6, 2007 I think it will be good for Schools that are on the bubble right now of moving down in classification.
Tiger90 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 I guess that each district committee should go down to the local trophy shop and get each team a little trophy for being "good sports" at the end of each season. Hey it worked in little league, maybe we can get an ice cream at the Dairy Queen after the game as well.
eaba26 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 I BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE A GREAT PLAN AND HELP THE SMALLER SCHOOLS. ESPECIALLY THE ONES IN 1A - 3A. WHERE THE DIFFERENCE IN NUMBERS IS THE GREATEST. JUST SOUNDS TO ME THAT ALL THE SCHOOLS WITH LARGE NUMBERS WILL MISS BEATING UP ON ALL THE SMALLER SCHOOLS IN THEIR DISTRICTS.
HORNSFAN86 Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 that what it sounds like to meYeah, you can tell who the big school fans are, by their responses. They have been living the high life since dropping to 3A and now that "GRAVY TRAIN" might come to an end and their not happy.
Guest Indian Chief Posted September 6, 2007 Report Posted September 6, 2007 I like the idea. You have to travel for the playoffs anyway.
dav-joel Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Yeah, you can tell who the big school fans are, by their responses. They have been living the high life since dropping to 3A and now that "GRAVY TRAIN" might come to an end and their not happy. Yea you right! They know who they are.
Campee Posted September 7, 2007 Report Posted September 7, 2007 Yea you right! They know who they are.Yeah, WOS beats their chests preseason and during district...the worm is about to turn.
KFDM COOP Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Posted September 12, 2007 Longhorns want to vote for this one..... I bet.
eaba26 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Posted September 12, 2007 take a look at 1ATexasFootball.com you will see that many schools have to travel. but its better to travel 100 miles or more and have a chance to win than go down the road and get your butt kicked. sounds great to me.
KFDM COOP Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Posted September 12, 2007 The 6 man coaches in the State hated it at first and now they love it!!
Guest maverick24 Posted September 12, 2007 Report Posted September 12, 2007 Being a Lumberton Raider fan I see this in our District Lumberton is the small school in the District and usually is and we have to hear how we have never made the playoffs Not saying that realignment would do that for us but it would be nice to play teams with close to the same enrolment as us. we are around 1,000 and play teams with about 500 more kids than we have. I like it and will drive extra to watch our boys play ball given a chance to compete better.
KFDM COOP Posted September 12, 2007 Author Report Posted September 12, 2007 This will really help the smaller Schools.
swampdude Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 Anytime the UIL gets into changing anything.............follow the money :. One way to reduce the number difference in classifications is to add the 6A division. Playoffs have been watered down since the expansion from the top two teams advancing. The only place everyone should be a winner is the Special Olympics. The UIL continues to cheapen the accomplishment of the playoffs.
underarmor Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 the UIL better worry about shortening travel distance for small schools that are already feeling the money crunch. dont want to end up with soccer instead of football.
NorthoftheBorder Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 I think that Lumbertons enrollment is much closer to 1100 this year. Last I heard was about 1075 unless we has some more late enrollees. Does anyone know what the date the enrollment figure will be taken from for the UIL realignment.
Guest b-a-g fan Posted October 4, 2007 Report Posted October 4, 2007 What is realy stupid is the diffrence in number enrolment in some schools in one division to the next is as low as 30 and people in the same division as much as 100 . Just because a school is smaller doesnt always give them a disadvantage some schools have huge enrolments but fewer kids with football interest . For those talking trash on WOS they have been competitive in every classification they have been in .. I went to PNG and they still were on top back then, I promise Hooks will have his kids ready for what evere comes there way . The key is for schools to quit hireing good old boys just because they went to school there.
