DI 2A, 4A, 6A BlueCross Bowl ................................... Dec. 1, 2017

DII BlueCross Bowl .................................................... Dec. 2, 2017

Dead Period ............................................... June 24 – July 7, 2018 

 

Here are some important dates but you prolly already know.

 

I thought the TSSAA was gonna rotate (forward) the Blue Cross Bowls for each class starting this year. According to these dates I found on their website they moved 1A, 3A, 5A to Thursday.  Moved Class 2A, 4A and 6A to the Friday game slots this year and gave DII the Saturday games. 

 

That means the 4 year cycle will look like this:

 

Class 1,3,5A will get  Thursday,  Friday,  Saturday then another Thursday Blue Cross Bowl date.

 

Class 2,4,6A will get Friday, Saturday, Thursday then another Friday date.

 

DII will get Saturday, Thursday, Friday then another Saturday date.

 

***Also, it's showing DI having to play their quarterfinals on Nov. 18, 2016. I assume that should be Nov. 17, 2017.

 

Just something to chat about maybe.... I'm bored.

Here is an excerpt from their special called meeting minutes in July 2016.

 

The Board voted to rotate which football championship games are played on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday – three games each day.
Division II will be on Thursday in 2016, Friday in 2017, etc. . .

Does this mean 1A still gets the first game on Thursday? They should rotate it where all divisions get a chance to play under the lights at least every other year.

 

1A will always get the shaft.   According to the TSSAA minutes DII was to be on Friday this year. That means 1A, 3A, and 5A would have been on Saturday.  Instead they rotate the games in the opposite direction.

Your original post had DII on Saturday.   I assuming this post meant to say DII will be on Friday [NEXT] year.

 

Let me see if I can explain myself a bit more clearly.

 

My original post is the football sports calendar for this year (2017).   It has DII scheduled to play the BlueCross Bowl on Saturday Dec 2, 2017.

 

My 2nd post is a copy and paste from the special called meeting minutes back in July of 2016.    It states that DII will play on Friday 2017 (This Year).

 

My point is: the calendar above and the minutes taken in the meeting don't say the same thing.

The calendar says Saturday, the minutes say Friday.

 

Hope I haven't confused anyone more than I already am.  :)

    • TSSAA restrictions for hiring non-faculty coaches have been removed for over a year at this point. In the past a non-faculty person had to be "grandfathered" by being an assistant coach for five years, being fingerprinted, and having a background check run per TSSAA rules... since those were rescinded, the board of directors for the school district are responsible for any/all restrictions on hiring non-faculty personnel. I guess what I'm saying to you is that if you really wanted what you posted, it's already possible as long as your local BOE will allow for it.
    • stop it, rlh. you’re gonna get me all misty eyed and sentimental.    i see seven fairly regularly. ….but slim shady, that’s like spotting bigfoot on main street. you just hope he doesn’t spot you. 
    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
