Not up on the competition level of all these teams but, if Deweyville has a better chance at the playoffs I bet they won't mind traveling.

Where did Dayton and Livingston go?????? ???

In Division II District 11

Crosby (68 Miles)                             

Dayton (55 Miles)

Houston Forest Brook/Smiley (68 Miles)

Livingston

Barbers Hill (69 Miles)

Waller (105 Miles)

What's crazy is that it would be closer to all of those schools than what we currently have now.  All those trips would be right at an hour and we travel closer to an hour and a half for everything now.

Anyone who thinks this is a good thing needs to have their sanity checked. Some of the travel time for some schools like Central, Orangefield, Deweyville, WB and PAM and Hamshire-Fannett is down right dumb. Travel time alone is going to be the biggest issue, you will have hardly have any fans at away games, especially for sports like baseball and basketball which play on Tuesday nights. Football will be hit hard also, I mean what parent who works shift work or gets off at 6 is going to travel 2 hours for a 7:30 game, they won't get to the game until half-time, maybe a little earlier.  Wednesday mornings after a long road trip is bound to breed low attendance for kids.   Which will hurt the kids grades and performance in class which may cause failures to go up. Having these types of road trips on a weekly basis may also affect Test scores down the road, I mean you are almost guaranteed one day a week where it will be almost impossible for a kid to pay attention in class due to exhaustion. Teachers already have a hard enough job and high enough expectations on them as it is.  Also looking at this from a coaches point of view the UIL is not taking into consideration a coach working a 12-15 day and the coach also being a zombie the next day like the kids. All coaches teach as well.  Especially for coaches who are at schools where they have to drive a bus, that would be a big time safety hazard, which is to no fault of the coach they are just doing their job.  Next, you have the parents.  How do you expect their to be any kind of following from the parents to come see their kids play 2 hours away and then get up the next day to go to work. Talk about robbing parents of the joy of watching their kids games. Then how about the regular fan who has no kids but enjoys games or families who have kids in school but they don't play sports, well you can forget them going to support their teams which will have kids showing up to a stadium with virtually no support.

Deweyville probably has a better shot at playoffs in our current district as it is! That's what so maddening about it. Nothing gained, but a whole lot of trouble!

I could be wrong, but I think this is just for football only.  Other sports like volleyball, basketball, baseball and softball will have different districts than football.  These other sports would remain in districts like the current setup.  If this is just for football only, then I don't have a problem with it.  Bring it on!!

Look at the travel time Midland and San Angelo would have.  4 hours one way, That is really putting a lot of extra expense on the school and the fans.  Most West Texas schools play at 8 p.m. but you would still have to leave before 4 to get to the game on time.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
