Tssaa and the Army All American bowl

[thekidd0086]

TSSAA messes up again.....George Quarles may not be able to Coach in the all american bowl and Matthew Pyke may not be able to play in the 8th grade all american bowl. Matthew Pyke is a Clinton Middle School O lineman that was accepted to the Junior All american bowl and has been named one of the top three O lineman coming out of Middle school in the nation. George Quarles is one of the best coaches in the nation and has been nominated as one of the head coaches for the High school all american game. Nither of these guys may not be able to enjoy the all american bowl because the Tssaa is behind the times compared to other states. If Pyke was to play he may have to sit out a season if the Tssaa doesnt approve them going. I know that Coach Quarles is meeting with the TSSAA on thrusday to try to get this approved. This would be a shame for a outstanding Coach and one of the best middle school lineman in America was not able to participate in this game. What are your thoughts?

Coach Quarles SHOULD be allowed and ENCOURAGED to Coach in this game.

 

I encourage EVERYONE to call the TSSAA and ask them to allow this and to allow the lineman to play in his game!

[thekidd0086]

Yeah everone needs to speak up on this so we can get some Tennessee product in this game.

I read about GQ months ago. Why is it now that they are asking for the OK to coach in the game. This ought to have been dune months ago, IMHO!

Well no one knew that it would be a promblem and now all of a sudden it came up as being one.

it's funny that everyone is in an uproar over this. We have had high school seniors who have not been able to play in the AFLAC senior baseball game for several years now. Now they are not being selected for this prestigious honor because AFLAC does not want to fly them to California when TSSAA says they can't play or have to miss their senior year of baseball. We have screamed for a couple of years now on the baseball site about this.

This is garbage. For TN to be seen as even close to other states in terms of football strength then we must have representatives at these prestigious events. Coach Quarles being selected to coach here is huge and for TSSAA to stand in the way is completely out of order. They are like the Soviets keeping their best gymnist out of the olympics just because. I live in Hermitage maybe I should go speak to TSSAA.

I thought they already apporved Coach Quarles but now they have to approve Coach Ellis

[thekidd0086]

I thought they still have to approve Quarles also. It helps Pyke that Coach quarles is going to this meeting cause if he can go its only fair that pyke can go...

Somebody needs to remind the T$$AA reps and board they can be FIRED just like any politician!

 

This game does nothing but promote the State of Tn and its football programs and provides more scholarships than the T$$AA does for kids. Same goes for the Aflac game in Baseball.

 

Can we all tell I am about FED UP with the T$$AA!?!?

[NETFan]

Problem is they turned down baseball last year for Sonny Gray even with a lawyer present so I don't think they will overrule it, too close to lawsuit if they made exception.

 

I hope they do because we have several baseball players who should be AFLAC if they change it. If not, they will be honorable mention and can only watch it on tv.

The T$$AA....Plan Z, this, what's next? A few villages are missing various idiots.
