• Question:-What is the difference between 5a division 1 and 2 in texas high school football?
  Texas only goes up to 5a, how do you get 2 champs from same class? On several team sites i only saw 5a and a district, but no division. did they stop it this year, because in 2010 there was a 5a division 1 and 2 champ. but the teams dont list a division this year. thanks for the answers.
  
  Answer:-Texas does high school football in a quirky way when it comes to the playoffs. Classes 4A and 5A don't have Division 1 and Division 2 alignments until the playoff brackets are determined.
  
  For 5A, the top 4 teams in each district qualify for the playoffs. Of those 4, the 2 schools with the largest student enrollment are placed into the 5A Division 1 bracket and the 2 schools with the lowest student enrollments are placed into the 5A Division 2 bracket.
  
  For 4A, the top 3 teams in each district qualify for the playoffs with the school with the highest enrollment going into 4A Division 1 bracket and the other 2 going into the 4A Division 2 bracket.
  
  Having the best record doesn't matter. Depending on enrollment, the district winner can end up in Division 2 if they have a lower enrollment than the other schools.
  
  Yes, it's screwy. For one, 4 teams qualifying for the playoffs is way too many. In some districts, teams with 3 or 4 wins can get a playoff spot. And, a school can be put into the Division 1 bracket one year, and the next put into division 2, depending on which other schools in their district qualify for the playoffs.
  
  i didn't follow it all that close but I remember the debate when the Texas UIL switched to the 2 division bracket alignments for the playoffs. Supposedly, it was done this way to avoid adding a 6A classification for the larger schools.
  
  Texas certainly has enough high enrollment schools to justify a 6A class. It might work okay in the larger population centers with a lot of schools but it would be a problem for north and west Texas schools. For example, a proposed district included an El Paso school, an Amarillo school, a Lubbock school, an Odessa school, and 2 Dallas schools.
  
  It was determined that the cost of travel would be way to high to put districts like that together. The cost could probably be justified for district football games, but all the other sports would have to travel the same distances... basketball, volleyball, softball, etc, etc, etc.
  
  So, I can understand why they chose not to add a 6A classification but going to the 2 division playoff system seems like a strange alternative.
  
  The like below has links to the 2010 playoff brackets and to the UIL home page for more information about the playoff formats.

• Question:-Why are there two 5A divisions in Texas High School Football?
  Last year Allen won the 5A Division I title and Katy won the 5A Division II title. Why are there two divisions, and why don't they play each other at the end to determine an undisputed State Champion?
  
  Answer:-There are two divisions because there are so many schools that meet the conditions to be classified as class 5A. The larger class 5A schools are division I and the smaller 5A schools are division II. They don't play each other because they would have to wait another week plus one or both teams would have to make extra travel arrangements that are not accounted for in the schools' budgets. Also the UIL (University Interscholastic League) only has a certain number of weeks set aside for the football season. Adding that extra game would exceed that number of weeks. Plus, all classifications (and divisions if applicable) are required to play the same number of games (regular season and playoff) and because all classifications are not separated into divisions there would be an unequal number of games in the higher classifications.
  
  You are correct about California, RBackBalla13.
• Question:-Texas high school football, why is it so popular yet the players so average?
  Texas high school football, why is it so popular yet the players so average?
  I went to my first Texas high school football game this weekend and didnt think they were that good. the team i was on and the teams we played in New Mexico were just as fast, strong, and agressive. EVERYBODY in town went to the game but I expected the players performance to truly surpass NM 1A football but really fell short. They seem pretty even. Why is the hype and enthusiasm there for texas football when they are just as good as football teams everwherein the nation?
  There are also alot of players. in ratio to state size, Every other state has had just as many.
  
  Read my question before blurting out answers.
  
  Answer:-check how many pro players come from Texas. The only states that even compete are california and florida, with a respectable showing from ohio, michigan and pennsylvania.

• Question:-What are the chances that the Florida Marlins make the playoffs in your opinion?
  The Marlins are .500 and currently third in the NL East and 6th in the wild card race. Basically our only chance of the playoffs is miraculously winning the NL east.
  
  So what chances do you give my Florida Marlins in making the playoffs?
  
  Answer:-slim, but not impossible. i agree that they'll have to win the division. i think the marlins can be compared to the rockies from a couple yrs back. young, talented, but untested. i think josh johnson is the second best pitcher in the nl behind jiminez. and of course hanley, cantu, and gaby sanchez are great too. i think if anibal sanchez and chris volstad can both start throwing like they are capable of, and a offensive player (coghlan/maybin) heats up then look out nl. they would be tough to beat in the playoffs with johnson and a hot volstad and sanchez.
• Question:-Florida Marlins?
  Do you think the Marlins make the playoffs this year? What will their record be (w,l)???
  
  Answer:-The biggest concern is starting pitching.
  
  Josh Johnson is coming off the DL soon, Anibal Sanchez (Threw a no-hitter rookie year), and Sergio Mitre are also coming back by the end of the year, probably around the All-Star break.
  
  Andrew Miller has had some great outtings, and others that were struggling. If Andrew throws like he can in all of his starts then he will without a doubt be a great pitcher.
  
  Scott Olsen has the talent to pitch great, he just needs to stay calm and work quick out on the mound.
  
  Ricky Nolasco, who pitched yesterday and went 8.2/3 innings striking out 12, allowing only 2 runs against a red-hot Devil Rays team, is becoming the ACE. That is a bit scary, but if he keeps doing what he is doing then how can you argue with it?
  
  The bullpen is in a bit of a slump right now, but as we saw early in the year they were absolutely dominate. They also have some injuries out of the pen.
  
  The line-up is solid.
  
  Hanley obviously is a great player, needs some defensive work, but all in all, an All Star SS.
  
  Uggla went on a tear in May, Jacobs has serious pop, Jorge Cantu has played outstanding as of late, Cody Ross is clutch with homers. With Willingham injured, Gonzo has stepped up and played consistently, which is pretty impressive since he is 40.
  
  Once the Hammer (Willingham) comes back into the line-up, and they get the starting pitching back.... well... the doubters will still say it cant be done.. but i'm pretty confident it will be done.
  
  I AM a Marlins fan, but honestly didnt think they had a very good shot the past few years... this year feels different, and I think that it will happen.
  
  Idk about the record though.
• Question:-How much cash could the Florida Marlins get for giving Miguel Cabrera and Hanley Ramirez to another team?
  The reason I am asking this is because the Marlins could definitely use some money to fund the financing gap for a stadium in South Florida. As much as I admire these guys, there is no way the Marlins could sign them long term anyways, so if we could get a stadium deal done as a result of this trade, I think it would be worth it.
  
  Cabrera and Ramirez, who are undoubtedly two of the best players in the world, should get a pretty high price. If this could be done, what do you think these guys would fetch, given their current contract status? And I'm not talking about trading for another player and some cash--I'm talking just a cash deal only.
  
  Or can this even be done? I don't remember seeing any deals like this recently.
  
  Answer:-They would get a couple million, but they'd also get amzing young players if they made that trade.
• Question:-What do you guys think about the florida marlins for the 2011 season?
  Do you guys think that the florida marlins will be a playoff contending team for the 2011/2012 season? I think what they needed most was relievers. But let me see what you guys think.
  
  Answer:-they'll have loads of young talent, but i don't see them competing with the braves and phillies

• Question:-Why should the Florida Marlins even be in Major League Baseball when they dont spend money to improve themselv?

• Question:-What do I do with my Florida Marlins paraphernalia when they become the Miami Marlins?
  When the Florida Marlins move to their new stadium in 2012 their name will change to the Miami Marlins.
  
  Answer:-Keep it, frame it, build a shrine to it. I'm keeping all of mine and am definitely still wearing the clothes that I have. The posters, plaques, and anything else you might have will surely be worth something one day. Either of sentimental value or perhaps even monetary value.
• Question:-Why does Florida Marlins had the largest attendance in the playoff and World Series?
  Florida Marlins are the lowest payroll team as have the smallest attendance during the regular seasons as average more than 20,000. Florida had more than 67,000 people attend a game in the playoff and World Series in 1997 and 2003.
  
  Dolphin Stadium has 75,000 seats for football but Marlins has more than 67,000 people to attended the playoff and World Series.
  
  Answer:-They have the largest stadium capacity of any other MLB team's ballpark...so obviously they would have the highest attendence in the WS.
