I see the thread got moved to a lesser used board which supresses the amount of people that see it who may have interest in the subject. My I ask the moderators why? This thread is about DII State Championships being played on TUESDAY!!! It is not about what the other board is about, which it is affectionately called being sent to the little known board "Public-Private Debate"......THIS IS NOT A DEBATE!

 

The post is found here... http://tennessee.coacht.com/boards/index.p...howtopic=185025

 

 

 

THIS IS ABOUT KIDS BEING SHAFTED FOR PLAYING IN DII!!!

 

THIS BOARD IS NAMED "4A-5A-DII" SO IT IS RELEVANT!!!

 

As much irrelevant stuff I have seen posted on this board over the years, this topic deserves discussion. /mad.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":angry:" border="0" alt="mad.gif" /> It should not be put in a little used area of CoachT.

 

The game is in two days, and it appears a great topic right now on what the parents, players and fans think of this treatment. It would also be interesting to hear how DII folks are dealing with the logistics.

 

This IS a DII Subject!!!

I don't see how they are getting so shafted, they still get to play for a state championship, that's what it's about. Not the size of the crowd or the time they are playing, or that they have to miss school, because the kids certainly aren't worried about how many days they have to miss.

 

My final football game was a 9th grade championship game, played on a Saturday night, with a high school stadium filled to capacity. The atmosphere is a great deal of what I remember from the game; it is something I relish.

 

The young men playing in the middle of a work day are missing much of the atmosphere that they have earned and deserved. They're kids; they're not stupid. They know that they got a garbage time slot: most of them didn't even play at such an inconvenient time when they were in middle school. "Shafted" is probably not the right word, but the right one would get us banned from CoachT, so let's just go with that one.

 

Put another way, if it matters so little, why not play all the championships in the middle of the week?

My kid loves school and do worry about missing school.I'm sorry that yours doesn't.

It is not just about the kids missing school and that they have earned the right to get that atmosphere mentioned in a previous post. What about the parents who have earned the right to see their kid play in the state championship? Think of all the time they spent carting their kid back and forth to practice.... the years they spent on the sideline cheering their kid on while they move up through the ranks. Then come to find out that their son makes it to the state championship game only to find that it is in the middle of the day on a weekday. Some people can't afford to take the time off from work or don't have the days left to take off. I'm sure that it would mean as much to the student athlete to have their parents there cheering them on.

 

Another poster mentioned that the game would be televised. Is that true? I know the semi-finals were not televised and they could not get a live feed to watch it while being played.

The TSSAA has not carried the game on any broadcast in YEARS....ever since the DII division was formed. The DII championships have NEVER been on TV, so I don't think they would start now. If so....I am literally shocked.

WOW....and I guess all that matters in sports is having fun... /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" /> It DOES matter....it matters to every family who has a kid that is playing in the game....it matters to the ability of the student bodies of the Memphis teams especially going to the game....it matters that these schools administrations MAY not think it is in the best interest of the students to shut down to attend the game during a school day......it matters that the cheerleaders and their families may not be able to go.....it matters alot!!! /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" />

B100 I understand the point you making but most schools across the state are OUT on Wednesday. Gallatin used to get out early for away games that went past the mid state. I do however wish TSSAA would at least broadcast the games so people like me who enjoy High School Football could at least view the game without having to go to the Boro.

      Farragut Blue VS Grey game… oh boy

      By MissHawking · Posted

      Never in my life have I seen a team in a scrimmage against their own defense look so lost and confused. The defense didn’t look much better, the coaching staff can’t keep their anger together, not only with the players but also with their other coaches. I feel awful for those players. None of them look like they wanted or should’ve been out there, but for the grown men on the sidelines acting like fools, it's just embarrassing to the Farragut name and reputation. I now see why they chose not to live stream this on their YouTube channel.

      We could sure use some math teachers country wide. Ever go into a store or restaurant and the bill comes to $9.97 and you give them a ten dollar bill and 2 pennies because you wanted a nickle back and then the meltdown starts and the next thing two more people have to come and help figure it out and the place comes to a complete halt. I see this everyday and it's a sad representation of all these schools allowing these kids out the door to get shortchanged the rest of their life.

      Stars, I heard we were searching far and wide for some math teachers. Any chance their kids bench press or 40 times are getting checked? LOL I’ve heard good things from 825.

      I think it was expected. “Bad” luck I guess to get a couple difference maker QBs in the same class. I thought the decision was made a little early myself, but they were struggling offensively last year.  I assume the running quarterback alco had last year would be a senior this fall, and the transfer would start the following two years in addition to getting a ton of playing time this year. Maybe he waits two yrs, but I doubt it. The kid is good. So is the one who stayed.
