I'm not saying B titles are meaningless. I'm saying B TITLES WON BY A SCHOOLS MASQUERADING AS B SCHOOLS are meaningless.
If Minot Ryan fans think their program can compete for WDA titles, their B state titles are meaningless.

FACT: It is the choice of every Class B school in the state to compete at the A level. For decades, people pick their Class B Darling of the Year and say, "Yep, they're better than the A teams," with absolutely no level of comparison.
It must be nice to live a complete fantasy, where you can beat your chest about how good you are, then stow away from the top level and rack up another 20 wins.
Put your money where your mouth is. Schedule a Class A team. If Minot Ryan is that good, then I want to see them play Minot and Bismarck in the regular season. Otherwise, the claim that they would compete for a WDA title is worthless.
How many A teams did MPCG play to establish validity as the "best in the state"?

Not one time has a B champ played a 19-game schedule and endured the grind of an A schedule. Yet, every time a team looks good, they are either the best team in the state, period, or the best team ever.
B champs love to run their mouth about how they WOULD beat the best in A every year. Walk that walk. Make the calls and ask for the games.
Otherwise, take your title, and lock the jaw.

I now remember why I stopped giving credence to your posts long ago. "Run their mouths...", "...they would beat the best in A every year.". Nonsense. I brought up what I believe to be a "generational" boys B team, MPCG from 96-97. I brought this up as a counter to your statement about the Ryan titles as being "meaningless". More nonsense. I believe that the current Ryan girls team is also a "generational" team. Is there talk about the top end Class B teams competing with A? Of course there is, it's competitive sports. This type of comparative trash talking has been going on at every level of athletics for years. Why does it grate at you so? The Milnor boys know they wouldn't have won the State A title last year. The Oak Grove boys know they wouldn't have won the State A title this year. I doubt either cares. Why do you?
