Class 1 Catch All

Because I have the utmost respect and admiration for those who serve, I'll apologize for the "safe place" comment. I just surprises me that someone with a military background would have that mentality. You are suggesting that if one can't compete, eliminate the stronger competitors. You tell me, with all honesty that you believe that. You are the one who started with the confrontational language. "It sounds to me like you are ok sitting in a smaller class, building up as many trophies as you can, the easiest way possible. Notice it's always the dominate ones that bitch when this is brought up." This concept of schools "choosing" to sit in a small class... what the heck? We don't choose to "sit' anywhere. We compete within the confines of the class we are positioned in. What's it to you that you have to bash on a team that you obviously know nothing about? All because of the success that they've achieved? How do you justify what you are proposing?
I was in the military and his using it as a defense if BS. Don't get caught up in this dribble. There are countless members of our military who are wastes of air everyone gets a trophy losers. I was in the military as well, however I don't wield it like a sword. Your military service and being corrections officer won't influence everyone, and certainly doesn't make you a high school football expert.
 
Man, reading comprehension on this board sucks. You guys are making way to big of a deal of this. If staying in your class is that big of deal to you where you will attack others, then that's on you. Like I have said multiple times now, it should be on the AD and HC of the school. They know what they have. Moving up doesn't lower the bar and is the lamest excuse I have heard. "We don't want to move up because it will water it down for everyone else" is pathetic. I personally want to achieve the highest level I possibly can and screw what everyone else thinks. Mshsaa should allow teams to advance as many classes as they want.
Backpeddling, however in a stupid sense. If you're a parent who has been involved with other parents since flag football and are of like mentality and have mentored, driven, worked, supported, and encouraged your kid and their friends to become a powerhouse in their grade as they progress in football each year...what moron would sit complacently by and let an AD or HC decide to take their kids chance of winning a state title away from them by moving up a class when it is not required. Dumb...just a really dumb idea, concept, thought, whatever you want to call it. In fact everyone in this thread is dumber from having read the concept of it.

Explain how it is BS? I am not going to have someone to tell me to go to my safe place. My response had nothing to do Highschool football. FYI you stated not once, but twice you were in the military yet tell me not to wield it like a sword. Did ya eat a big ole bowl of hypocrite soup?

And that's your opinion. Whether my kids win state or not, I want to them to reach to level possible. Sometimes failure motivates more. But hey, if trying to reach farther is such a dumb idea, enjoy being average. I have goals.

That is great. If you want an excellent program to copy for success you can always use Lamar's. Enjoy being average...lol, you're a hoot.

I am talking about your way of thinking. If you think a class 2 state championship is the pinnacle of life, then that's average. Lol.

There are 326 other schools who didn't win a championship. It IS impressive, why should they be forced to do it against larger competition? I could understand if they were a private school and cherry picking athletes from other schools, but Lamar does it from the confines of their district lines. If you don't think winning a championship, regardless of Class, is impressive, it just shows you haven't and have no clue how to win it all.

Jealousy isn't becoming of you.

Everyone seems to forget when Lamar was the underdog. How about a little refresher course in that prior to 2011 Lamar didn't have a state title in any sport. How about he fact that we often were beat in the class 3 and 4 dominant Big 8 to the point that it was considered to leave the conference for injury sake. I am so tired of the everyone wins liberal/progressive whimps who constantly cry foul due to not being able to develop a program that is successful. There are countless programs in Class 2 that could develop, however you have to push weights, condition, practice in the environments, and let the coaches COACH. I have watched every type of parent there is who complain their kid isn't getting played enough, or who get on their school boards to screw things up, or complain that their kid has bruises, or threw up from being pushed to hard. I can attest that a large number of the boys playing for Lamar (who already have a conditioning and weight program enviable by some colleges) return home and run more, hit the weights more, concern over proper nutrition and take care of their bodies, and to top that off many are 4.0 students as well. However, in the greater scheme of things, have your way and make your changes...it will only ensure that Lamar holds the title for 6 consecutive state football titles for the rest of eternity. That is good enough for me, however it takes away from other generations of kids who might want to challenge this title. Some of the people on here are truly wastes of air. Stop living through your kids, start living for your kids and do not purposefully stack the deck against future classes to protect your kids who maybe should consider chess club anyway. :)
Thanks for distinguishing between the liberal/progressive whimps and the conservative/anti-progress whimps like yourself. Do us all a favor, delicate snowflake, get back in your safe space and let the adults continue talking.

Don't spin this that direction, as I never stated such. You are the one who
