Varsity Kansas - The Blog

Sadly, I have nothing better to do than look through some of your comments on a Saturday night. Of course, if you’re looking through my posts tonight, you’re in the same boat. Let’s commiserate together.

Anyway. Here are a couple I latched onto.

From Jim, regarding Carroll’s football CL title:

“Ok maybe BC did win the city leage title, but tell me how a 5A school can make into the playoff playing the likes of Ark City and Winfield. Is BC part of the AVL or the City leage or both? I have always thought it funny that BC and KMC are 5A and in the AVL and can still win the City Leage title. Both KMC and BC should be 6A and not play schools that don’t have a chance of winning, the same goes for Derby, all of these schools should be 6A. Just a thought on my part, but way to go BC.”

 Thanks to Fanatic for the following response to that post:

“Uh Jim………What?”

This is from Rikrok regarding how we do things. (A refresher — I gave him an idea of how we usually treat postgame interviews because the point had been made that we only talk to the Browns when they win, not when they lose.)

“Talk to more players and fewer coaches, period.

Coaches give the same tired quotes. I’d rather hear what the actual participants on both sides have to say.

And dump the template for postgame interviews. That’s stupid.”

 Thanks for your response.

From Wildcat Fan regarding the story on Mulvane’s football team: 

“This team is awesome - and yes, these kids deserve to have some Thunder after all of the heartache they have felt with the loss of Sam, Emmy Sue, Kyle and Lyndsey. It is a way to bring some closure to the tragedy and build friendships that these kids will remember long after they graduate. My son is a Senior and he is having the time of his life - and that is what High School is supposed to be all about. This is the stuff that movies are made about.”

This story seemed to resonate with quite a few people, judging by the comments made following the story — click here.

That’s all I’ve got, folks. Thanks for all the comments and keep me up-to-date on what’s on your mind. You can do that here or at joanna@varsitykansas.com.
