Shutting down the entire school system early, for a football game. We know where their priorities are, even in a so-called "good" school district.
Oh well. Good luck to Clinton. Take out the trash.
Talk to the MHSAA, they are the one's requiring schools to travel to a remote corner of the state. Schools in the south half of the state should be po'd.
Since Kingfish only published the CLINTON info Here's Pearl's:
They will do their walk through at 5pm ALL PIRATES are invited to attend.
Approximately 9:30 the PIRATES will hoist the 6A trophy in the air as the 6A State Champions.
I can understand the high school closing, but the entire school system? That's ridiculous. That will be a wasted half day for most people, that will need to be made up.
If you want to go to the game, take a day off and pull your kid out of school that day.
11:49--it's going to take a perfect game by Pearl to beat Clinton. The Arrows have a Senior QB that has thrown for 29 TD and run for 29 TD this year. The previous record was 25.
That QB isn't going to let the Arrows lose tonight. However, congratulations to both teams on making the state final game.
I'm sure Coach Mullins will be there so all the kids who want to play for him next year can meet him. #HAILSTATE #TSUNSUCKS
"Coach Mullins." That's a good one. It's Mullen, you idiot. Must hot have actually attended that school you seem to be so proud of. At least I hope you didn't. #doublewidemuch
A lot of ignorant arrogance going on in this thread. Maybe it's just rival talk.
11:49. This is 1:30. Wasn't my prediction spot-on???
PittPanter you either don't have children or don't care about children? Did it dawn on you that maybe many of the families have high school and lower school aged children? And maybe some of the teachers in lower school have children on the team? This isn't China. We can have more than one child in the USA.
The championship games are rotated among the three division 1 campi in this state, for the goob who thinks this is a chance for 'mullins' to recruit unfairly. Meanwhile, Freezus has not been seen at all this week.
The clear-bag policy is idiotic for a high school game, regardless of venue. Bet there were some pissed off fans last night.
Why would 'fans in the south half of the state be pissed off'? Jackson is no longer a safe or attractive venue for these contests. It makes perfect sense to have them in Starkville, Oxford and Hattiesburg in alternating years. Fans love to bundle up and travel to a game like this. Motels are in abundance for this type of game, folks can eat out safely and, more importantly, the kids get to experience a football field venue in which they have never played.
Congratulations to The Arrows and also the runner up for a good season.
10:46pm, because I don't think schools should be closed due to a football game implies I don't have kids or care about kids? What a stupid statement, and you're wrong on both counts.
If I didn't care about kids I would do exactly what Clinton did; close the schools. That seems the message that nothing is more important than football. Not academics, not any other extracurriculars.
You can look at my username and tell I love football, and I kiss the ground walked on by Tony Dorsett, Dan Marino, and Larry Fitzgerald. But my priorities are in the proper order, and don't include closing schools due to a game, no matter how important the game.
When Clinton closes schools due to the debate team finals, or the academic bowl finals, or for a band or symphony performance, then I'll believe they have correct priorities.
PittPanther: I'm from Johnstown PA--and when our Hockey team played for the AAA State Championship in 1994, the school cancelled class in order for the students to go down to Hershey for the finals. that's only about 75 miles from your oakland paradise..and a big bucket of "O" fries
K-12 shouldn't be all about academics--this was a chance for the students to come together and to have an experience that they will remember all their lives--and they will remember it more than some formula or practice a few more diagrammed sentences on a december friday afternoon....
@pitpuma - Clinton will be making up that day later in the year, so de-wad your panties and take your yankee ass back north.
4:11pm, Yankee? I'm not from New England...
Funny. The word you use to try to insult me, Yankee, is used by people outside of USA to insult any American, regardless of home state. But I'm pretty sure that 4:11pm hasn't set foot out of the south, let alone out of the country. Heaven forbid he try to broaden his horizons.
@pityankee - Bet you a nickel my work experience has taken me to more foreign countries than you'll ever see, let alone my military background. Nice try, dipstick.
It's now been confirmed. Pitt-Panties was on the high-school debate team, played cornet in the symphony and was a large fan of the aroma of dressing room jock-straps. Plus he got to take names in ninth grade, another highlight of his resume.
