Whether or not six-man is ever recognized by the big city sportswriters for the game that it is, at least the small town folks know where the "real football" is played.
And by the way, whether it happens or not, IT DOES MATTER!

What he is saying is that yes it would be a great accomplishment but other than us within the sixman comminuties, who would truly give it recognition? sure there will be media coverage of a 9th title. But when it's said and done, to most everyone else outside sixman football it will be a record with an asterisk...not to say it's fair to the teams, school, parents or community, but it's just plain ol truth...
Little history....1984 DCTFM includes sixman for first time...they ranked May #1.. from that we did get a little more exposure than usual..Fort Worth star telegram did a front page story. May and Jayton both were on tv out of Abilene about the state game..Houston paper did big piece as well. Oh and we lost to Jayton so they got it wrong...
Now compare that (as cool as we thought it was) to what has happened in past few years with the media coverage and I say the game has come a long long way....however it's still at this time just not given the respect that an 11 man team gets...
I can agree with that but I can’t seem to find the “jealousy” and “participation trophy” aspect.

Sorry but I think you might have missed the point of this, simply using the possible record setting season for RS as a catalyst to explain the games reception to those outside the six-man world.
As to always picking against RS the only two inseason games I made picks for a RS game were week 1 and week 6 and in both I did pick RS to win. Here is a link incase you missed that

I did say a few weeks ago I felt RS would lose in the playoffs and still feel that way, but the East is stacked and anything can happen
Anyway this piece this isn't about RS
And I can not argue with one point you made which was on topic "Whether or not six-man is ever recognized by the big city sportswriters for the game that it is, at least the small town folks know where the "real football" is played." That is a valid take on this subject.
