I’ll admit it... I thought that hire was going to be an absolute disaster. While I never questioned how passionate Herm was, I thought his persona was really cheesy. Not in a bad way, more like in a “he means well” way.
100% agree. Couldn't listen to him on tv or radio. Too much preacher man, too many cliches, too much shtick. Apparently it's real. Trey Wingo was crying in Herm's send off on ESPN. He's getting ASU to play. I was wrong.
I’ve been lucky enough to cheer on my Ducks at two National Championship games and five Rose Bowls now. Of course I’d rather (finally) win the championship, but ### #### is the Rose Bowl on Jan 1 the greatest setting in college football.
IMO you could've guessed that. No one calls a press conference to say they're coming back for one more year.
It was really based on his health/draft forecast....which has been up in the air. He got a great update from Drs on Friday to help everyone feel better about the draft.
I don’t really find this too surprising. Outside of the big bowl games, who’s going? I doubt many are paying for travel, lodging, and tickets just to see their team play in Shrieveport or something like that.
Sizes of schools vary alot. As to why there are divisions, probably a political board topic.
Probably broken into 6 divisions based on school size, to create regions. Then because of the disparity in sizes within the divisions, they are broken by size again for the playoffs.
But, why? It's supposed to be a STATE championship. How can you have TWO class 6A state champions?
He won't bust out. I promise you that. I also promise you that he will win games he shouldn't, lose games he definitely shouldn't and will be appointment TV when he holds a press conference. Saban will hate him if he doesn't already. Kiffin vs Leach will be tremendous fun for all of us everywhere.
Maybe because Texas is so big? I would be curious as to how many state champions there are in other big states, say California.
Having been to Starkville, if Pullman is anywhere close I’ll pass on joining that club.
Because there is a 6A DI and a 6A DII. It's basically just twelve different classes if you will, but they organize it 6A DI, 6A DII, 5A DI, 5A DII, etc. Within each class the teams are grouped by Region and then District, but each class will contain schools from all over the state based on size.
Any chance you can put this in a spreadsheet for me like you do with World Cup Qualification?
eta - did some looking around on maxpreps.
Excluding 6, 8 and 9 man football, and what looked like private leagues, for the 50 states plus DC, it looks like a total of 350 State titles.
Ranging from 2 (Alaska, Delaware, DC) to 69 in California. Looks like California breaks up into multiple regional areas and just has championships there.
