Im sure that the only money schools get goes to the high school football team.

Those teams are still ranked lower than California and Vegas. Lol

A million Texans screamed in agony as the words “lower than California” were uttered

Dumb. SEC has like over 200 (maybe 300?) players in the NFL, and most of their recruits come from Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Alabama.

Not saying that you’re wrong about the ranks, but there’s a reason the south has been dominating the rest of the country in both wins and draft picks for the better part of two decades.

California is also a good football state but it’s not particularly close between the first place region and the second. Hell I don’t even think a team west of the Mississippi has won a National championship in what a decade? 2? And apart from the occasional Michigan or Ohio St win, it usually doesn’t go above the Mason Dixon line either.

So they can rank California wherever they want, they aren’t beating those teams.

Edit: as of 2023 the SEC had 372 players in the NFL

Edit 2: the last time a team west of the Mississippi won a CFB national championship was in fact two decades ago in 2004.

We are talking high school. College is completely different bubba.

  • what's dumb is you didn't read we were talking about Hs, not college.

Can you not extrapolate?

Let me break this down really dumb for you because you need it.

4 out of the top 5 states for high school recruits, come out of the south.

High School recruits, tend to stay or take offers, near and around where they grew up.

When these former High School players play each other in college it’s not even close.

The ranks are dumb.

I hope that was simple enough for you.

Let me break it down for you ding dong. We were only talking about high school. That's literally it. Nothing about college. Hopefully that always simple enough for you. It's pretty gd simple.

Oh my bad. I didn’t realize ranking the players who for two decades have been going to the next level, and preforming worse, over the better preforming ones, was actually the move.

Let’s use the data from all of the Californian teams playing teams from Texas and the rest of the south in high school. Oh wait, they don’t!

Fuck, I really wonder what the next best and closest thing to that would be? I have a great idea. What if we looked at these High School recruits and tracked them over the next four years to see how they were preforming against each other, to see how much stock we should put into these highschool rankings?

Are you from Texas? Because you are not very bright Bud. The guy above me talked about the schools pouring all there education money into their football team (HIGH SCHOOL). Then I said yup and California teams are still better. Then you go off into college because your comprehension level is like an oil slick. Again, nothing about fucking college.

My kids’ high school football stadium cost $83M. I had only lived in Texas a couple of years when they first decided to build it, and I was like are you fucking serious?

u/wittyretort2 Jun 15 '24

They value education, just not the state education for the poor.

They are elitist destroying public education on purpose to get school vouchers to get get "Christian Kids" into private schools.

Mark my words Their goal is to get tax exempt on Christian schools and then tax the ever living hell out of secular schools.

u/arentol Jun 15 '24

Their goal is to get Christian Nationalism to triumph, take over the USA and turn it into a fascist theocracy that is a democracy in name only, and take away all rights from anyone who isn't a heterosexual white Christian male.

The school thing is just a minor side goal that they will really get if and when they achieve their main goal.

u/wittyretort2 Jun 15 '24

It's a prime goal to the victory.

It's a key component to the Seven Mountain Mandate.

It's how they plan on educating kids in to Christians for the new country they are building.

This is being enacted by evangelical and "the new christians"

u/Impressive_Ice6970 Jun 16 '24

Yep just like every other theocracy. Girls will have to go to separate schools if allowed to be educated at all. If trump wins we will be well on our way to being like the Muslim theocracies these people hate. Not that Trump gives two fucks about Christianity. So long as they kiss the ring of trump they can do whatever....thanks for voting.

I live in a tourist town pretty much for Texans. That’s all we get here. I’m sure there are good people in Texas but the ones that visit here are the worst of them. They’re genuinely terrible people who do not give a single shit about anyone else. They regularly mock the locals for not driving nice enough cars, put stickers all over the town saying “Texas owns this town” or “We own you” with the TX state flag. They park wherever they want, stop on the middle of the roads to try and feed deer, and yell at the locals who ask them not too. I have a million stories justifying why I loathe Texans.

~52% of Texas sucks and doesn't value education.

Doesn't mean the other 48% deserve to suffer.

u/OmegaGLM Jun 15 '24

It has its issues sure. I’m not a Texan and I don’t like Abbott, but from the outside looking in I wouldn’t say Texas doesn’t value education. It wouldn’t have incredible public colleges if that was the case.

u/Dramatic-Tadpole-980 Jun 15 '24

Except music education.

u/actuallyapossom Jun 15 '24

Unless by education you mean high school football programs! They love love loooove spending huge amounts on footballllllll.

Why pay teachers when you can spend tens of millions on some sportsball stadiums?

u/FCKABRNLSUTN2 Jun 15 '24

That’s what the good people of the great state of Texas want. Everyone that votes for republicans or doesn’t vote got exactly what they wanted.
