Answer this then: would this yrs Oakland team have beat these recent 6A teams: 2012 maryville, Siegel, mount Juliet whitehaven

2013: Blackman, maryville, Oakland, whitehaven 

2014: ravenwood, Blackman, Oakland, Whitehaven, centennial, maryville  

The answer is no they couldn’t. If you say so you are fooling your self. There wasn’t one 6A team this year that could beat any one of those teams 

 

Again, using your opinion as fact and acting like all others couldn't possibly have a valid reason for believing otherwise.

Fact is, they didn't play those teams and there's no way to know the answer. I know you THINK you know, but you don't.

Hard to have any type of debate with someone who believes what they are saying is fact, when, in fact, it is opinion.

Acting like you have all the answers when you have no possible way of knowing how they would fare is just as foolish. But go ahead, keep on living in fantasy land. Both of those Oakland teams you just mentioned we're just as run heavy with a defense that didn't have nearly the kind of depth that 2018 did

MTF, you can't debate with a crystal ball!

You and I are WAY closer to Oakland football than he could even begin to comprehend and WE have no idea how those games would turn out. 

Pretty sure no one thought Oakland would blank Maryville or Whitehaven, either. 

No way to know what he claims to know.

I guess we're just fooling ourselves. Pretty sure he would've said the same thing if either of us had come on here saying Oakland wouldn't let Maryville or Whitehaven cross the 50 the entire game, too!!

Discussing anything with you is pointless because it’s never a discussion. 

Now you know my thoughts, too. Not just the winner of all of your Imaginary Football League games?

Need to change your screen name to Football Gypsy

Reminds me of the Lewis Grizzard story......  When an old southerner was asked about the Civil War, he replied, "We could have whipped the Yankees with cornstalks, but the sons-a-_______  wouldn't fight that way!!"

    • That was after the 2nd year of a 4 year cycle.  Since Covid we have been on a 2 year cycle.  So, there really isn't a "mid cycle" reclassification this time.   Idk if there's anything in place to address the issue of a school closing.  My guess is, nothing can be done.  This would be akin to the 1st year of a 4 year cycle, where a school has the 20% +/- but not allowed or even have the option to move up or down.
    • No reasonable lawyer would take up this case. I am not a lawyer, but I know school law in and out.  Similar situations just like this play out thousands of times each year across the country, even at the college level (i.e. Ole Miss)  The Plaintiff's never win...ever.  If I am wrong, please provide a legal precedent for me. I will be waiting.  https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39431892/judge-drops-ole-miss-player-lawsuit-lane-kiffin  
    • Yes Justin Cruse was named head coach
    • It used to be, I think it still is, a change of 20% +/- gives reason to reclassify. Schools can choose to play up classifications but not down. Here is the mid cycle reclassification info on TSSAA.org When Memphis East changed from a regular public school to an "all-optional" school in 2017 the would've dropped to A but chose to stay in AAA in basketball (baseball, and softball) Penny was still coaching there and with the players they had they would've beaten A teams by 40 and slept walked to the championship. Other Memphis schools stayed in their classifications (mostly in basketball) until the next reclassification cycle. Of course this is the same time that a 4th class was added basketball.
