Most of the team sports seem to generally have some of the best teams play the first round games against each other. Happens in hoops, baseball and soccer a lot due to the blind draws. Isn't the idea to have the best two teams play in the finals or at least the best two at that time. I agree with splitting the regions up into different brackets but shouldn't they also consider some type of rankings. I do understand rankings is not part of the TSSAA's job.

Same thread over in basketball back when Humboldt and Manassas drew each other in the first round. Blind draw is the fairest way to to do it. Does it work as far as putting the "best" two teams opposite so they can meet in the finals, not everytime. But it is the best way that they have come up with.

After seeing some of the "polls" by coaches, etc., Im not sure how you could "rank" teams. Some of these teams rankings is a joke. Schedule 30 middle school teams and you'll be in the top 2 or 3 in the state.

 

I think the blind draw is the best. Id only prefer that the draw be made BEFORE the teams are announced ( Winner of Subsection Game 1 vs Subsection game 5 for example). This way you'd know the Friday before the state which two teams you'd be playing the winner of and it would eliminate any thoughts that the brackets get stacked for one team or the other.

I agree.

The "Blind Draw" is the only way to go. TSSAA needs to work on the price gouging issue, not rankings.

There is no way the "people" would except seeding. The luck of the draw removes all doubts. Just my humble opinion. /rolleyes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":rolleyes:" border="0" alt="rolleyes.gif" />

After a team suffers a loss, they should be thrown over into the other half of the bracket to fight their way back to the finals. They shouldn't have to face the team they were defeated by again until the finals. So if the top 2 teams were to meet in the first round, because of the blind draw, they wouldn't meet again until the championship game.

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
