9 man is the way to go no question about it
8 man is such a horrible brand of football

Hmmmm
Sounds like we should consider consolidation!!!!

I think it would be more likely to change 11 man football into flag football before they eliminate 8 man football in this state.

Be a cold day in hell before Nebraska HS's vote to eliminate 8 man IMO

I'd be fine with eliminating 8 man and using 9 man for smaller C2 schools and 6 man for the small Class D schools. That would grow C1 back to where it was. Nebraska needs to look forward and 8 man may have some history, but with so many schools on the cusp of being too small for C2, but too big for 6 man, I think its a fit.

A, B C, D9, D8, D6 Pretty Simple. At some point 8 man needs to fade away and go from 9 man to 6 man. Play 9 man on a regular field, drop the tackles and play. The A/B thing is ridiculous. Let teams like Benson opt down like teams do in other classes. This state is a majority sub-11 man state. That's the reality, and saying teams should consolidate is not the answer.

I see this passed overwhelmingly in the western district yesterday. Anyone seen any of the votes from the others? To me this was probably the most interesting proposal being voted on this year.

In class C1 and C2, similar to volleyball this year, each class will be divided into four regions, based on geography. The westernmost region will consist of one sub-district with 5 or 6 teams. The other three regions will have 15-18 teams each. Each of those three regions will serpentine into three sub-districts of 4 to 6 teams, based on wildcard points through Tuesday, February 11. The 10 sub-district winners and six wildcards will then qualify for district finals.

The thing that needs to be proposed is the NSAA only sets your district schedule and each school's AD sets the rest of their own schedule. Let the school's have some say in who they play every two years. Team's can schedule other teams who they can compete with rather than the NSAA putting the likes of...let's say Omaha Benson against Omaha Westside. Let Omaha Benson schedule team's they can compete with. And team's like Omaha Westside and Millard South can go out of state and play the big boys like a Bishop Gorman if they want.

You know they did this prior to the late 90s. Guess what…no one would play the good teams. Thats why it went to this model. Teams couldn’t fill their schedule. There have always been butt kickings but now it shows up in Class A and people are up in arms. Someone will win, and someone will lose. There will be a biggest school, and unfortunately a smallest in each class.

The hardest part about football is you can be great one year, and no so much the next…at least in every class other than A and outside the metro. Pierce was a state champion 2 years ago, Centennial 6, and so on. In small schools there are ebs and flows. It’s what happens. Never mind that an injury can decimate a team in a hurry.
