I may have misunderstood, but has PC taken a headline game??

You essentially just said it should be looked into in the post I responded to?

Other than having a rich history, why should pikeville be considered in this, unless they were playing belfry.. If you want a real bowl type game then let the team from pike county who went the farthest in the playofs be the host to a team in a different class but of equal strengths.

Now, you either meant that Pikeville, Belfry, +1 other Pike County team gets games (Which honestly, I wouldn't hate but heat would be a huge issue) or that Belfry gets one and the other is whoever had the best previous season (Which could kick Pikeville out of a bowl that was started for the school along with Belfry).

My point is the Pike County Bowl started out for Belfry and for Pikeville. So let's just say it is their bowl. Then you kept giving and giving to the other Pike County schools so now they just keep wanting more and more until one of the schools that started the damn thing is out of it. And that is absurd, and why I wish that the other schools would have just been told when trying to be a part of the bowl, you are getting free money, shut up and live with it.

The Pike County Bowl is such a huge part of the Pikeville Football tradition. Pike Central, Shelby Valley, East Ridge, or Phelps cannot understand what it means to the people that bleed maroon. And to see it on the edge of obliteration is scary and very emotional. It is like a football holiday for all those associated with the program. If the other county schools do not like the format, just go start your own bowl or just take the free money with which it provides you. Don't ruin the PCB for those that truly love it for what it represents and the history behind it.
