Definitely not a hater. Im too old to hate. Lets just face it. SMC, i repeat is a good conference. Thats it to me. What you guys dont want to admit is there is more that seperates you guys historically from the rest of 1a/1aa than it does at this present day and time. Your conference, just like others is severely top heavy. Theres Murphy and then there is everybody else in your conference. I can admit that a good SMC team has the ability to mess up a high school playoff bracket and may provide for some upsets. What yall need to admit is that your bottom level schools are just as terrible as any other conferences bottom level schools. Andrews or Hayesville is not beating any top 3 schools in the MVAC or the NWC this year. Again, Im not a hater..the past is a place to hang ya hat and rest on your laurels..i get that...I guess it's kind of like no one that will ever be born will ever have the capability to be better than Michael Jordan. Ever. Maybe that's a poor analogy. Michael's great. It's just a matter of opinion as to him being the greatest. Heck, Bill Russell has 11 rings but he isnt mentioned with Michael. SMC has great tradition and is the 1a conference that has set the Gold Standard for small ball. Im not a hater like ya boy ole rich..but at some point and time..its ok to have some opposition..not hate..just opposition. Somethings, i can agree to disagree and move on amicably..I mean it's just a messageboard...very few of us are actually playing on these teams...We are fans that choose to live vicariously through our neighborhood highschool athletes and cheer for them. NC nole..take it light playa!!
