I think he has a different definition of fair than most people.

i wrote this down a little while ago, but i had decided not to post it because i didn't wanna cause any drama. but i saw someone blaming dna for a team reason which is just incorrect on so many levels. dna has nothing to do with it. local population does. while i dont think we need to unify state champs or have a bowl system, i do think doing classifications based on enrollment is stupid. a 2A or 3A in a large and well developed metro has better access to talent than a 4A-6A in the middle of nowhere let alone a 2A or 3A in the middle of nowhere. should have some kind of promotion relegation system. u already realign pointlessly every two years. might as well give it a point. promote the region champ, demote the region bottom dweller for both years. promote the state champ and runner up regardless of whether they won their region. heck even to incentivize the t$$aa you could let them add an extra division or two. by metro: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville-Davidson-Murfreesboro,_TN_CSA: 2,382,408 people https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knoxville-Morristown-Sevierville,_TN_CSA 1,189,808 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memphis,_TN-MS-AR_MSA 1,385,491 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chattanooga-Cleveland-Athens,_TN-GA_CSA 967,447 vs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson_City-Kingsport-Bristol,_TN-VA_CSA 592,913 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin-Union_City,_TN_CSA 63,457 by county: shelby: 916,371 davidson: 708,144 vs knox 494,574 hamilton 374,682 rutherford 360,619 vs williamson 260,815 montgomery 235,201 sumner 203,858 sullivan 160,820 wilson blount washington bradley maury madison sevier 98,789 the most populated 5 counties are massive compared to the rest. 17 Putnam County 82,382 18 Anderson County 78,913 19 Robertson County 75,470 20 Greene County 71,405 21 Hamblen County 65,168 22 Cumberland County 63,522 23 Tipton County 61,656 24 Coffee County 59,728 25 Loudon County 58,181 26 Hawkins County 58,043 27 Jefferson County 56,727 28 Carter County 56,410 29 Dickson County 55,761 30 Roane County 55,082 31 McMinn County 54,719 32 Bedford County 51,950 33 Gibson County 50,837 34 Monroe County 47,740 35 Lawrence County 45,415 36 Franklin County 43,942 37 Fayette County 43,630 38 Warren County 42,026 39 Cheatham County 41,830 40 Campbell County 39,584 41 Cocke County 36,879 42 Dyer County 36,410 43 Lincoln County 36,004 44 Marshall County 35,878 45 Rhea County 33,730 46 Weakley County 33,063 47 Claiborne County 32,431 48 Henry County 32,379 49 Giles County 30,554 50 Obion County 30,394 51 Marion County 29,094 52 Carroll County 28,458 53 White County 28,064 54 Henderson County 27,929 55 Hardin County 27,077 56 Macon County 26,229 57 McNairy County 25,988 58 Hardeman County 25,529 59 Hickman County 25,455 60 Lauderdale County 24,793 61 Grainger County 24,277 62 Overton County 23,044 63 Scott County 22,035 64 Morgan County 21,224 65 DeKalb County 21,003 66 Smith County 20,489 67 Union County 20,452 68 Fentress County 19,332 69 Humphreys County 19,106 70 Johnson County 18,086 71 Polk County 17,863 72 Unicoi County 17,674 73 Chester County 17,609 74 Haywood County 17,550 75 Sequatchie County 16,909 76 Wayne County 16,308 77 Benton County 16,002 78 Bledsoe County 14,798 79 Cannon County 14,788 80 Stewart County 14,035 81 Crockett County 13,888 82 Grundy County 13,783 83 Meigs County 13,272 84 Lewis County 12,957 85 Trousdale County 12,111 86 Jackson County 11,989 87 Decatur County 11,564 88 Perry County 8,685 89 Houston County 8,219 90 Clay County 7,620 91 Hancock County 6,845 92 Moore County 6,742 93 Lake County 6,507 94 Van Buren County 6,429 95 Pickett County 5,107 United States Census Bureau.

again knox does have like 4 times the gdp and population of them combined though so. too lazy to make any more analysis, especially for the western side of the state which I never really go to but feel free to make your own. rank in state by gdp: Davidson Shelby Knox Hamilton Williamson Rutherford Sullivan Sumner Washington all info is from us census bureau and BEA if u wanna go look yourself. also a note for Alcoa fans: I know you're sitting there in the retirement home or your kid's house seething with a bunch of dorito and skid marks in ya diapers. Get over yourselves and please dont leave any stupid comments for the sake of everyone else's brain cells. as for everyone else cant see u having a reason to be mad although im interested to hear your thoughts.

dna has nothing to do with it. they have 5 or 6(or even more when you get further outside washington-sullivan area) times the population nearby as a whole, so they have more athletes to pull from. you also have the fact Maryville won state championships for years with a bunch of "small unathletic white dudes"
