In 7 years or less they'd be ordering rings.

Depends on who you’re asking I guess.

Several “elite” coaches on that list have had seasons AFTER reaching his elite status where they not only didn’t win it all, but didn’t get close. If it was only about coaching then that wouldn’t be the case. Coaches don’t get worse over time.. they have different players.

I can't even get him to explain to me why Bill Belichick is sub .500 without Tom Brady.. or hasn't won a playoff game since Brady left NE. Or why some is his elite coaches (by his definition) didn't win another state title after reaching elite status (according to his definition). So.. again. You're wasting your time. Might as well just let him believe that any coach could go to any team and win it all eventually. Wait.. I think 7 years is his timeframe.

You're wasting your time trying to convince him of this. I've tried time and time again.

That would be true if rankings were an accurate measuring stick to how teams can/will actually do. But it never matters as much as most think. I'm not suggesting that this will turn out better/worse despite/because of said rankings for either team.. just that rankings matter very little at times. Rankings of teenage kids matter even less.

55% and 38% sounds like a potential improvement over in BC.

Score more points than the other team. That's usually the offensive game plan.

It's speculation at best right now. I just think it'd be hilarious if several of the schools opted up. Not just Liberty/HJ.

It's obviously allowed because districts have been and are doing it. This is what I'd call a legitimate reason. "Extreme" distances could have an impact on stretched budgets or class time for students.. I would think that UIL could come up with a list of qualifying situations for playing in a different district than UIL assigned. What would be the reason for Liberty or HJ to opt up? They're certainly not "100+ miles away from every school that would be in the District".. so what's the reason? And then, hypothetically, should a school or more from the previous district decide to opt up to avoid a 5 team district.. is that not as good of a reason? See what I'm saying? A fraction of the public school in Texas that live in the middle of nowhere are saving money and school time, but it's applying statewide. I don't agree. Not that it matters.. the UIL has never done several opinions of mine so why would they start now? They wouldn't.

I didn't say it was a real issue.. I implied that it's potentially an issue. Then I gave an opinion of which I'm allowed. You don't have to like or agree with it.

Who decides the “right reasons”? Like I said.. just NO across the board. If you think your school district can’t cover travel expenses, just forfeit your playoff spot and schedule schools within a whatever mile radius.

This is why I say that none of them should be allowed to do it. It opens up the potential for all kinds of crazy stuff.

What if El Paso five 6A schools, and one more 3A team.

I’m not a huge fan of any school opting up. I personally believe that whatever UIL determines is the cutoff, your enrollment places you. I do understand wanting to for financial reasons.. but.. wouldn’t that also be true about just being in district with the 6 closest schools? If travel is truly the issue, just go independent and stay in a 30 mile radius. Disclaimer: I wholeheartedly disagree with several things UIL does.

I’m sure it’s relatively low.. what difference does it make how often it happens?

Every year.

I’ve said before and will continue saying.. anytime a 4 beats a 1, sending 4 teams to the playoffs is justified.

Nice

101 high school enrollment.. imagine having 4% of the entire high school being horsemen. That's pretty significant.

Livingston?

The hypothetical here is that IF Newton drops another classification.. which is what I thought I saw earlier. At that point, Newton could play any of the 3ad2 schools or wide variety of 3ad1 schools and would still be playing up in the preseason. If Newton were to drop then it would probably more likely that a 4A teams stops scheduling them.

What I'm saying is that there is so much time between Week 2 and Round 4 that it doesn't matter. That's literally 12 straight weeks of probably blowing somebody out.. 12 weeks of starters not going in past halftime.. 12 weeks of playing zero situations that are gonna be seen deep into the playoffs. Does it matter that a close game was played several months before? In my opinion, no. So who cares if WOS drops the game going forward..
