Just curious on your thoughts. He has a different style of offense than what Tennessee has ever had. Do you think that will give some of the smaller schools a chance to get players recruited? I've seen a lot of fast skilled offensive players in 1-A and 2-A that just don't get the stars because they are a small school.
They don’t get stars because they don’t have the physical measurements to play at the DI power 5 level. Genetics plays a large role in recruitment.

Will tickets be made available for these tournaments?
-
Anyone know what A/AA looks like? I feel like they have some quality teams that could computer with these AAA teams.

How do they seed the 8 teams?
I believe it is based off last years finishes at state, correct?

Actually...we are AMERICANs. BTW, are you old enough to remember the Flu? It is a virus that makes you sick for a few days and can also kill people that have underlying risk factors. It should be taken seriously, much like COVID. It should not control your life however.
You can rant on all you want, call names, and live in fear. I for one am going to continue on with life, taking precautions but NOT going to let it stop me.
BTW I had COVID at Christmas...and guess what. I AM STILL ALIVE.
Well we have the Jackass of the year award already awarded in 2021. Congratulations.

It will be 1/4 or 1/3 capacity is what was said in the article with TSSAA guidelines of social distancing and masks. Why would TSSAA change from a venue that will allow money to be made to a college venue that don’t allow fans or is worse than a HS venue?? Last meeting they said that Rutherford County’s HS gyms was a strong plan B to Murphy Center and after each game the crowds will leave the gym and the next games crowds would reenter. Straight from the meeting. Pull it up.
You are the one that asked why would there be limited ticket sales not me.

Why would there be limited ticket sales?? They did away with restrictions. You saying Tennessee Tech would have restrictions?? TSSAA surely wouldn’t do that and lose all the ticket sales. Be better to play it in HS gyms in Rutherford County if they restrict fans.
The state of Tennessee may of lifted the executive order but the TSSAA still has their guidelines in place and add on top of that local orders and tickets will be limited for all events this winter at the TSSAA championships.
-
TSSAA still has to abide by the guidelines of the host venues and local authorities where those venues are located. It is not feasible to have the traditional amount of teams and wrestlers as previous years.

There is no way they allow the general public in for the duals. The gyms are not big enough to hold that kind of crowd. I think they give each school a certain number of tickets and that’s it. Nothing will be sold at the door I imagine.
Agreed. The duals are taking place in Williamson County Schools which I believe was still limiting capacity before Gov. Lee’s orders. No way it is a packed gym.

Says a fan of 12AA who hasn’t been competitive or to the state tournaments in the last couple of years that I remember....
Well we don’t shy away from competition and moan about geography. The realization is the change of districts had to be made to balance out districts across the state.
-
Plenty of logic in why this was done. The West Tennessee crybabies want to run from competition in Middle Tennessee.

Gonna be a whole lotta forfeits if they don't push all these regions back a few weeks. tons of families and schools with covid positive numbers and putting these coaches in a big lawsuit dilema if God forbid some family member dies and its tied back to a coach protecting kids for regions or state Need to hit the pause button for a few weeks till these numbers die down and vaccines can take effect
You can’t keep pushing it back. It is what it is. Wrestle with who you have eligible, no matter when you hold the tournaments it will be an issue.

One year at Bama as the DC Following the guy coaching at Georgia. I call that riding the coat tails.
Do you realize he was the 2013 Broyles Award winner for top assistant in college football? For being Defensive Coordinator for the National Champion Florida State Seminoles who only returned 3 defensive starters when he took the job. He goes to Georgia as DC for two years and then to Bama after Smart get the UGA job.
Like I said before he can coach football however he is not a HC/CEO type.

With all to respect, this is not an accurate description of the Franklin High School zone. Franklin High School consists of mostly upper class white kids. There are very few "blue collar" kids and even middle class kids. There is some talent, but nothing like Murfreesboro or even some of the other schools in Williamson County. Your description sounds more like Summit or Independence.
This is accurate. A coaching friend of mine calls it Grassland High. The zoning is horrendous in that county.

Executive Order extended through Feb. 27th
Good news for grandparents, bad news for cheerleaders and dance team members.

Silence so far. It was through the 19th, if nothing is said then I think I'd be correct in saying that it expires today and fans would be allowed back in starting tomorrow.
That is what I am thinking as well. Nothing from TSSAA either.
-
Today Gov. Lee’s executive order is set to expire limiting attendance at HS events. Has anyone seen if this order will be extended?
We are about to get into tournament time.

The rumor is that Blair is being forced to wrestle a schedule that stays within the borders of New Jersey and only a handful of NJ teams are willing to schedule Blair. Most of the Blair wrestlers returned to their home states but they will be back at Blair next season. The question that I have is how is he eligible at Cleveland High School after he just competed is an "All-Star" match against the kid from Oklahoma. The TSSAA does not allow baseball, basketball or football players to do this until the official high school season is over. Not trying to stir the pot but asking a legitimate question.
I have been wondering the same thing myself. To me it seems like he would not be eligible but who knows in times like these?

This is how it ends up when you hire a mediocre high school coach, one who mainly gained his reputation by being part of an MTV reality tv show, working for another shady coach, and give him the keys to an SEC program. You reap what you sow.
How many high school coaches have constructed national championship level defenses at multiple schools? Mediocre SEC HC? Absolutely. But to act like the man is not a quality football coach is ludicrous. Some coaches are made to be coordinators and Pruitt is one of them.
Also no one remembers him from Two-A-Days on MTB.

GA girls soccer season is in the Spring? TN would have to play opposite girls soccer.
Why?
Plenty of girls available to play still in the fall.

The Atlanta Falcons played a significant role in getting girls flag football started in Atlanta and then it spread throughout the state. It is a great way to promote and protect the sport of football. Many of those young ladies will have sons one day and hopefully their experience will encourage them to allow their kids to play football.
Really wish the TSSAA would jump on this bandwagon. Seems very low cost to schools and a great opportunity like you said to grow the sport in a different way.

What does it take to be a true living legend like myself? My once proud alma mater at Marion County High School is where I became a legend myself. It was a long time ago, but the dividends from that experience can be seen all over the Sequatchie Valley today. I played for a living legend coach and in turn became a living legend myself. We will need to do a better job moving forward on awarding legend status for the young lads that lay it on the line each Friday night in the Sequatchie Valley, but also the state as a whole. Many young lads can achieve legend status if they have the right backing behind them. In saying that, I will be putting a committee together to accomplish this goal going into the 2021 season. My speaking engagements will be back in full swing during the fall seasons so I am going to appoint a representative from the west, middle, and east quadrants of the state. As always anytime, I visit you people's stadium I will have my police escort that will get me to and from the home team's press box. Remember that the press box will always need to be 72 degrees and not one degree warmer or cooler, regardless of the time of the season. The representatives I mentioned previously will report back to me on which young lads we should be looking at to achieve legend status. It will be good for several of them to be able to be around me at various locations to simply breathe some of the same air a legend like myself emits. Once the Covid season is under control you will see more of the one true living legend. In the eastern half of the state I will be appointing @pujo to report back to me and keep me up to date on any young lads or living legend coaches walking the sidelines. Pujo has been a staple in eastern Tennessee football for quite some time. I can't think of a better advocate for the living legend other than him. Pujo has indeed breathed some of the same air a legend like myself emits on more than one occasion. It is no coincidence that he understands exactly what we are looking for in young lads and living legend coaches. The middle half of the state will be @Southtowner. He will be responsible for keeping me informed on the possibilities of young lads achieving legend status. Southtowner travels around the mid state and although he has never met a living legend like myself, he seems very well informed in the mid state. The west half of the state will be assigned to @BIGPURPLEMACHINE He seems to be well informed of the happenings and the young lads in west Tennessee. He will report directly to me during the upcoming season to assure that we get all young lads the legend status they want, desire, and in some cases deserve. Simply breathing some of the same air a legend like myself emits will pay immediate dividends to this young lad in much the same way it had an effect on Pujo many moons ago. It is simply an honor that can be earned and bestowed upon a young lad by countless hours of dedication. A true living legend like myself will be the only one to award the legend status. All young lads should always remember that achieving legend status is a choice.
Do you still wear your lettermen jackets on Friday Night and get standing ovations when you enter the stadium?

State duals will be held at different venues most likely in high schools in Williamson county. The field for each tournament will be cut in half with a sectional round put in there so that AAA will be an 8 team bracket A/AA 4 teams and so on. Two sites for AAA with four teams one mat and very little if any overlap of teams in the venue. The TSSAA is doing their homework and I guarantee they are working tirelessly to make a dual event and traditional event take place. There will be tournaments unless Gov. Lee shuts schools down again like he did last March.
There are still a lot of details that have to be sured up in order for things to be finalized and that is why TSSAA has not put out any information yet.
Unfortunately there will probably contact tracing that takes a toll on some teams/individuals in-between the regionals and states. I hope that doesn't come into play but the traditional tournament will be smaller for AAA it will likely be a 16 man bracket. With the top two from each region going. I just hope that all AAA regions wrestle for a true 2nd and that they are able to substitute a state qualifier if a top two finisher was to be quarantined and unable to go to state give the true 3rd place finisher the ability to represent that region at state. Lots of logistical issues that the TSSAA is trying to figure out. I was extremely impressed when listening to Mark Reeves talk about all the work the TSSAA has done in order to ensure we have post season events for wrestling.
Love to hear work is happening behind the scenes to make it happen

I really think we need to admit we need to give up on the dual team tournament this year. Multi team event is going to be impossible to hold without it becoming a super spreader event and shutting down the sport.
Have the regional individual tourney on single day, then take a week off then hold the Individual state tourney. Hold no events during this break, so this will give kids 14 days in case they are exposed at a region. Limit the size of individual state to top 16 and hold each division in separate place to keep size small and allow you to run it in a single day.
You can hold the girls during the off weekend and the week after for coaches.I see this as is the only way we are going to have a tourney this year. Especially now that UT had to pull out of their bowl game because they just had another big outbreak on their football team and staff.
Your logic doesn’t make any sense. It would be a more controlled setting for a dual state tournament than the individual state tournament.

State Dual Predictions
in Wrestling Mat
Posted
Highest finish in AAA for Wilco since then. Nolensville and Fairview have both had runner up finishes the last two seasons in A/AA and Fairview won A/AA this year. Some quality wrestling in Williamson County these days.
