I post the below out of complete respect for The Big Red. Your athletic program is beyond compare. Your constant contribution to big time Division 1 football programs is very, very impressive.
I implied nothing what you have clearly inferred. I am correct as to from where we start. And that is at the sole judgement of the TSSAA. After that, a realistic assessment of our position size and depth must be taken into consideration. It makes for difficult football if you play every week teams that dwarf you in both categories. I guess Sugar Ray Leonard (welter weight boxing champion) could have boxed Muhammad Ali or Big John Tate, but does that make SRL less of a champion?
Again, nothing but respect for MBA. I have too many friends and kinfolk from there to consider otherwise. If I lived in Nashville, that would be the school of choice.
