shanetx1969 Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 I really got tired of finding not enough about the football in small towns across the United States. So I decided to build a site with the focus being on small town high school football. Here where I live in Texas, we have so many big time players from small town teams. Anyway, the site is fairly new and lots of articles will be added. If interested, you can find it at http://www.smalltownfootball.com/ 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because small towns are mostly irrelevant. Hence why nobody lives there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of small towns that have pretty cool football histories and tradition, regardless of success levels. Then there are a good few that have all of that and great success as well. Don't be afraid to hang out on here and discuss some of them with us aside from plugging the small town site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as histories and traditions, there are tons and tons of them here in Texas. I am very interested in hearing about the small town football traditions in other states. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it could prove out to be a useful site for sure. Most of us appreciate sites like that where we can find additional information on schools that may not necessarily be household names per se'. I dig it. I hope it gets populated with a lot of schools and information about them both historical and current. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CCBlackhatter Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 Cool idea indeed! I'll venture over and check it out. If you dig into individuals state's historical sites you'll be able to find a lot of info that would be useful to you and your site. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gospeeder Posted June 10, 2018 Report Share Posted June 10, 2018 The recruiting wars and resulting super teams are starting to get old. (at least from my point of view). Your endeavor will definitely add to the board and be most welcome. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I will choose to ignore you. It's perfectly fine to disagree. But when it turns into a pattern, you lose all creditability with other members of a board. By the way, Small towns are what makes America great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's what small town people say to make themselves feel better. I'm actually embarrassed for you. If small towns are what makes America great, then why are they dying and why doesn't anybody actually live in them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they don't. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanization_in_the_United_States In 1790, only about one out of every twenty Americans (on average) lived in urban areas (cities), but this ratio had dramatically changed to one out of four by 1870, one out of two by 1920, two out of three in the 1960s, and four out of five in the 2000s. Urban population as percentage of U.S. population 1900: 39.6% 1910: 45.6% 1920: 51.2% 1930: 56.1% 1940: 56.5% 1950: 64.0% 1960: 69.9% 1970: 73.6% 1980: 73.7% 1990: 78.0% 2000: 79.0% 2010: 80.7% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
