Just like graduating from a D-1 school isn't neccasarily a measure of your intelligence.

I find this argument tiresome. Every year it comes around, and every year no one's vote is swayed. But I will say that Manhattan has at least four possible state placers (as well as one who has already placed) on its junior varsity right now. I won't be as dense as to argue that our regionals are easier, but by the Big Dance it all evens out.

How about this: instead of 4a splitting from 5a and 6a for state, why don't we all just tell Nigel that 4a state will be held in Salina from this year on, so we can be left alone?
