The only other broadcast team to be in the same class with them would be Pat Summerall and John Madden.
I'll give Keith Jackson credit... he's one of only two commentators to ever have the ability to make me want to kick out the screen on my TV (the other being Gary Danielson). Jackson was often biased and obnoxious... Danielson just plain stupid.
One of my favorite Vol memories... Powell broke through the line and had Bennie Blades to beat to the endzone... Blades grasping for Powell's shirttail and Jackson yelling "goodbye...touchdown!!! Then had to listen to Frank Broyles for two minutes wondering how Powell outran Blades for about 50 yards when Blades "has world class speed" and "set the 400 meter record for the state of Florida". According to both of them, Tennessee was lucky to be on the same field with Miami, and the only question was would Miami beat Tennessee bad enough to jump from #2 in the poll to the #1 ranking and win the national championship. The Vols smoked Miami 35-7, and Miami had to pull off a fake punt to score at all.
The best part of that Sugar bowl is when Keith Jackson ran into John Ward before the game and asked Ward if he thinks his boys can make it enough of a game to keep the audience till halftime. Ward said Jackson didn’t have too much to say afterwards

Definitely understand that a lot of times name has more value than it should. But without a horse in the race it would be neat to see this thread try and build a better all state team.
I get it. You can’t please everyone and certain names are going to b left off but it is glaring the amount that has been listed that can’t come close to comparing to one’s left off. I admit I write sports for our hometown paper but not a member of the association as we are a very small town. Just like to see a non partial list

What made it comical was there an obvious snub or something?
Yes there were several. The thing about it the tswa used to b good at this stuff but the last several years has been a joke. They have their darlings and are very political. Embarrassing

Has these teams been identified yet? If so I can't seem to find it. Can someone please post a link.
It hasn’t been released yet. Was supposed to around new year but not yet for some reason

Where all is Desmond Thomas looking at playing at the next level? Kid played his butt off and showed who the best RB on the field was. Funny I was ridiculed for saying if Isiah Groves went for 150 plus ER would win and so many chirped in saying he was going to do that win or lose and likely would get 250. Great performance by Riverside defense holding him under 120 yards. ER cost theirselves in the end on the last drive when it was 3rd and short with the chop block but most that have watched them were holding their breath because it has been a common theme all year. ER will have great chance to be back though. Congratulations again to Riverside! Great season but tell Coach Frost thought to keep his hat on next time on TV. I am just keeping it real
Haha. But Thomas has received a few offers from a few d2 and naia schools for linebacker. Him and a few others have been courted. But yeah I thought dline play was huge for Riverside holding him just over a 100. But that whole defense been doing it holding every team in the playoffs to just one score. Says a lot about this team

South Pittsburg 31 McKenzie 14 McKenzie will not be able to stop the Pirates
East Robertson 35 Riverside 7 Don’t know a lot about Riverside but do know Groves is the best RB around. He will go for 250 and ER wins easy
Well at least Groves had half that and fifty came from one run. Not as easy as some thought it would b but oh well

hes a little quirky for CH. forrest fans are surprisingly shallow. id love to have the guy. but a short, sort of eccentric guy who twirls his long hair on camera. he actually hopped into the arms of an assistant when the clock ran out in what was a very strange look. i dont see CH lions club goign for that. i personally have zero issue with it.
I admit he isn’t like any of the other head coaches we had here but look at the end result. He knows the game and the kids play for him. Definitely not trying to sell him to u though would hate to see him leave much less to ya lol. Btw that assistant was one of his son’s

If a South Pitt coordinator applied and didn't receive an interview that's very disappointing. If you're in a region battling Marion why wouldn't you consider a Pirate that doesn't know how to lose to the Warriors?
We have been questioning the coaching and administration for years. No school has accomplished less with more in 2A than Forrest over the last 6 years. Some of same guys in charge of Cornersville's bungled 2022 selection have input in our search. I talk a lot in the community but haven't heard any names being interviewed so far. People are starting to get antsy. They're either interviewing off site or after hours. I was expecting an announcement by December 1st. That tells me they have their guy in mind that they couldn't announce (maybe he was on a staff playing this weekend), they have someone who doesn't have to move to start right away, or they have no idea what they are doing. I don't see how they can't have a hire by December 15 at the absolute latest.
As much as I would hate to see it I’m surprised ya don’t go after Frost. He isn’t being rewarded here for his huge contributions to our program here and couldn’t blame him if he went somewhere else where he would b appreciated

Waited for this moment for over 25 years, the chance to post after a Riverside state championship win. Congratulations to coach Frost and the team. A well deserved win.
When you write for a small town newspaper you’re not only a writer you become a fan and I’m very proud to b a part of this program and community. Great season Panthers and best of luck to the most heralded senior class in Riverside history

Seems like an all-time bad idea to interview players before a game. They don’t do that college or the NFL, let alone high school kids.
Yeah it hasn’t worked good for us all year. Always next year right

Riverside is going have success running the ball at them. Riverside is going to come out and smack them right in the mouth. ER will more than likely lose their composure and start with the penalties. ER hasn’t played a fundamentally sound team like Riverside all year. If I’m wrong then I’m wrong and will gladly eat my crow.
GOOD LUCK RIVERSIDE REPRESENT THE WEST AND BEAT THE BRAKES OFF ER!
I like the way you think lol

Yeah York had some success running the ball straight at them. I wouldn’t be surprised if you guys ran Thomas straight at them over and over
Yeah they might get a big dose

What’s your thoughts on this match up ? Have you been able to watch any of East Robertson games ?
Naw I haven’t watched any but heard a lot about them by players and coaches. Sounds like they are a very talented team. I feel like we have did well against a lot of good running teams but yes Groves is a different animal.
offensively I think we can move the ball either running or passing. Pretty balanced offense. I do like the experience we have but still think the Indians will b ready. Should b a good game

Desmond Thomas looks like one player ER has seen before but it was about 3 years ago. A little blast from the past, Cameron Rankins.
Ya watch the Johnnie Frost show Thursday and see what Desmond has to say about the matchup this Saturday at TNL today on Facebook

This is an indictment of TSSAA. Why would officiating not be consistent? Why do they get to play at Chatt? Watch the Huntingdon-Riverside game where everything is called and the game had no continuity. And then watch Riverside-Fairley and mouthing is rampant with no calls. We had games this season where guys in the huddle were flagged for mouthing and then the next game where players could jaw over every play with no call. Some crews call chop blocks every game and some never make that call. The teams blocking style doesn't change but they can't move the ball because off the crew. Inconsistency is not a good look and these playoff all star crews have been lacking.
What I don’t like about it is adding two more to the crew. Just more eyes to look for something to flag

Can’t see any team that would just roll over in a state championship game. East won’t and they will shock everyone, just like they did with Smith. Not a team has stopped Groves and this team wont either.
Don’t see the shock factor playing in. Riverside knows they are a very talented team. Obviously Groves is a very outstanding player just like his brothers and teammates. Hoping we can keep it competitive

Game day, pretty nervous. Was feeling pretty good about it till vandyfan1 put his two cents in. Anyway good luck and safe travels. If you can’t make it to a game tonight watch our livestream on Facebook at TNL today

Mackenzie's powder puff schedule after the Lion game, including Moore Co. will cost them Dresden's defense is much better and they are going to pound the rebels. The best two teams in the west played in Dresden last week. Just being real.
You sound like one of the Huntingdon posters last week lol

You can’t win if you fumble 7 times. Riverside is going to get absolutely ripped by Huntingdon
Yep looks that way

McConnell will do well like u say offensively but for him to come back he must have got a no contact order from a couple of people lol
