What moron decided to move the Championship Games from the Center of the State? Really a disadvantage to the West Tennessee Teams by doing this.

 

I guess Independence was at a disadvantage when they traveled to west TN to play Arlington. On wait, Indy won that game.

Yeah they won. This still means nothing, as far as the distance/time traveled. It is a disadvantage, and this is a fact. I do however agree: 1) that if you make it be happy to be there, and make the most of the opportunity, and 2) if you don't want it somewhere do not attend, then they make less and might move it.

Hey mafia, congrat to you and wilco on a great season, but I can't say I'm sorry wilco got beat at home. Especially by a much more inferior WEST TN football team, from an area of inferior football. Somethings are simply priceless.

 

Let me know how it's "such a fact" that another 45-60 minutes is a disadvantage.

So you think it is not a disadvantage to travel hours to a game? Or are you saying that adding only 45-60 minutes, does not make it "anymore of" a disadvantage? How about 75-90? Or 110-125? or 135-150? and on and on. It makes a difference, be logical. Sitting on a bus for hours at a time is not where you want your team to be before a game, however being on a bus traveling to play for a state title is.

I would assume that the team would drive up on Friday and spend the night.....most teams do.....

when I first read this thread I thought it kind of silly but now i think its a sorry attempt at an early excuse. Just go play, I'll bet you could find a ton of west Tennessee teams that will trade with you.

If anyone thinks it's too much travel to play for a State Championship, just forfeit the game.

Stay home and save your money.

Im going to enjoy this trip no matter where it is

Well said my friend, all cry babies feel free to stay home.

AGREED!! And wasn't softball in N Mississippi? Not Fair!

Where ever the game is played doesn't matter. At least in Cookville all teams travel.

I'm pretty sure most kids are happy to get to travel a longer distance. Most of the southwind players really enjoyed the trip to Brentwood, as did the Melrose players when they went to Jackson, MS. Unless you drive to city/field the day of the game then there should be no complaints about the venue. Unless the stadium is in poor condition or something.

I'm looking forward to it....I think it's part of the spectacle of a championship game. You get to travel to a neutral site and join in the festivities of the moment!
