Old Football Fan

Here's the deal....Your 0-7 or 0-8 until your not. Do you want to play all these games on paper? If losing is such a big deal why in basketball does the district runner-up (a loser) get to compete in the region games? Why does a 4-16 or an 0-16 soccer team get to participate in the playoffs? You are correct that most of these teams are going to lose and many lose by a wide margin but who cares. It's another Friday night where 80-160 kids are not doing drugs for 3 hours. For the financial argument the home team takes care of the travel and eating for the visiting team. This almost always results in neither team going in the hole. For all of you that say that the top 2 teams should be the only teams that should go to the playoffs would have cost thousands of fans, thousands of players and hundreds of communities a chance to see good football last night. Is this what we want for football? That only half of our teams get to participate the first week of the playoffs. I always notice who says we only need two teams and its almost always a fan of a program that always has success. The statement that "Maybe ___________ Co. should just get better" is one of the craziest things I have ever heard. Look if it was so easy then everyone would be great and we would all be 5-5. That's the beauty of football. It takes 1000 moving parts working together to be a great programs. What only taking 2 teams does is discourage kids, programs who are not consistently good and reinforces the bluebloods of ky football. I believe that recruiting would be worse, and a lot of programs would drop out. You think a 1-4 matchup is bad try watching a district game and resulting non-district game (wk 11) after one of those teams are eliminated from the playoffs in the regular season. Is this what we want our football in this state to be? You would never see a rags to riches story like my school Wayne County who for years was a 3-4 seed. All those years they would have been going home, adding more negativity to a program, not getting an extra game to practice for etc. The one fix i would make is that all districts must have 5 teams. This would mean that everyone in the playoffs would have to win at least 1 game. I would NEVER ever eliminate 3 and 4 seeds. Also, who gives a crap if the playoffs take 5 weeks. That is a non issue.

Football is a coed sport so that's not a factor. Everything else that would be on the field has both boys and girls sports so I doubt it was title 9.

UMM...you threw the ball an average of 7 times a game last year. I think they will manage. Moving the ball on the ground against Rockcastle will prove to be very difficult.

I'm telling you....they will not move the ball on Rockcastle on the ground.

Rockcastle will beat Garrard pretty handedly. Garrard doesn't have the horses to move the ball on Rockcastle.

Didn't they go two years in middle school with 0 wins. That never is a good thing.

Bell lost a lot on defense but returns their playmakers on offense. They did lose their two monster TE's that were difference makers at the end of the year. Better do it this year otherwise its all down hill from here.

Who would they get to play at this point? I'm sure Highlands needs a game. There isn't anybody better to schedule out there.

I don't know. You started out the season pretty rough with the press box incident. Maybe it was a sign of things to come.

Don't count on it.

Who ever he can get the most money out of.

Yes but Dudley won't be at Taylor next year. You can write it down.

Only beat Wayne 14 to 7. Don't think they would.

Trinity, Saint X, Male, Manuel are on the GREATER LOUISVILLE team. Bowling Green would have had some on but have injuries. Highlands didn't submit players from what I have been told.

Doan is no longer at Somerset. He will be at Southwestern.
