Gordon vs Richland Springs - 52-6

That's lame. At least say what school so the local sixman detectives can check it out. If it is true hope its close enough all the Burkhart fanboys can still go visit.

There’s enough opining and rumor swapping here already without me adding to it. If what I heard is true, it will be obvious in the next couple of weeks since the 3 year suspension is now over as of last week (I believe).
 
There is talk going around that Burkhart took a job at another school. I will not pass the specifics of what I heard along until I am convinced there is something to it. But it would not surprise me. He’s a good coach and his record speaks for itself. RS had a chance to get him back but those in positions of power chose another route despite the wishes of much of the community.
Complacency. Never stop caring about your school board. Just like it says, “ A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will creep upon you like a thief in the night”. If you let people take over that don’t know “Come here” from “Sic’em”, that’s what happens.
 
So what will the toy do to Gordon if they lose tonight ?
I'm going to have to do something with The Toy when I get home Sunday, before I process the rankings, to make sure Gordon doesn't drop out of the top 10 for not beating Thorndale by 45+. As it stands now, they'd drop a LOT because they didn't 45 a team that was, basically, a 0 rated team.
 
Gordon IMO should have been a slight favorite vs Thorndale (say 14 points) so winning by 33 should give them a boost...just my opinion on it

Thorndale doesn't have a rating here on the site, though, being an 11-man school. So I'll just have to either fabricate one, based on this game's final score, or just set the site to completely ignore this game for the purpose of rating the teams. It'd, effectively, be like Gordon had another bye week. I'm not a fan of that, though, because they have another 11-man game and an actual bye week and I worry about them staying stagnant for too many weeks and what that might do to their rating. Option A is the most likely best solution.
 
How do you handle forfeits, in particular the Ira vs. Jayton game? As far Gordon being stagnant, their rating probably isn't going to change much since they are 45 pt favorites over every 6 man team on their schedule. Their rating has changed by less than 1/2 pt since preseaon.
