Why don't we just give every school a state championship trophy in every sport, every year? That would keep these poor kids from having to face the agony of defeat. They would also have lots of extra free time to go smoke dope and get drunk, cause they really wouldn't have to practice. And we would only have to keep a few of them eligible, at least enough to field a team anyway. That would be where I would draw the line, in order for you to get your trophy, your football team has to have at least 11 kids eligible, Bball 5 kids, etc.

I can't wait to tell my kids they WILL be state champs when they get to HS. My oldest daughter will be upset that she and her teammates had to actually work to earn their softball state title.

Don't know what we're gonna do with the good coaches we have here at Andale. Wait, I think I just solved the budget crisis. Let the kids coach themselves, and take away all of the supplemental contract money we spend on them.
