[Hoot Gibson]

Welcome to six-class football, boys and girls. Everyone gets a playoff game and an ice cream cone.

Go ahead and eat it rather quickly, though, because it will likely melt on that 150-plus mile bus ride home after you get your arses handed to ya.

The fact that Kentucky has too many classes is a separate issue from making the playoffs more "exclusive." Early round playoff games should not involve a 150+ mile trip. Indiana has six classes but Kentucky does not have enough schools to support so many classes. 4 or 5 were plenty.

I really don't understand why so many people think that letting more teams in the playoffs is the equivalent of handing them a trophy. I would not be proud of a 60-0 first round loss to end a winless season. Would you?
