ftblLVR557360 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 This is great timing because this is the last year of the contract with TT. I hope that T$$AA gives sensible and thorough thought to a safer venue for these high school championship games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnfootball1234 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I think it should rotate east and west.. Knoxville when east year to be home and either vandy or Titan stadium when it's west year.Nashville is not west lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orngnblk Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Just don't know if natural grass can handle that many games.It will never be an option because of this.Has to be on turf.No one in their right mind would let their grass field be used for that many games.Turf may not be the ideal surface for injuries and such but could you imagine what that field would look like on Sat night and it wouldn't provide a fair venue for all teams.When I played it was at Vanderbilt and that was a fun stadium to play in.Fans loved it too.

willie2888 Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 I agree about Trez. They win on pure athleticism. Coaching was awful. But I also think the Whitehaven and Oakland was they same way. Win on talent alone with very little coaching. WH looked like they have never seen a weightroom. You sound crazy if you think Teli wasn't coaching that is three state appearances in a row with two wins. How could he not be coaching?

ReitzFan Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 He didn't want to say MEMPHIS for sure Having them in Memphis would be just as wrong as having the games in Knoxville. Games need to be in a smaller venue, not a larger one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooWhoWiseMan Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 You sound crazy if you think Teli wasn't coaching that is three state appearances in a row with two wins. How could he not be coaching?Just saying with those kind of athletes how much coaching does he have to do. he is playing 2A ball with 5A talent. All they did was hand the ball off left or right and let their athletes run. Option 2 was drop back and let QB take off. Team with better athletes won.Haven and Oakland wasn't much better. The reason many say you can't win a state championship running wingt (at least at higher levels) is because other teams have the speed to run down an east to west offense.

beerman Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Memphis would be a Good spot.. nothing in Memphis scares me friend.. I don't like tennessee tech. The fact it has 4 locker rooms helps. But the venue is not suited for the traffic the state games bring. Parking is a nightmare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerman Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 The reason I said Titan stadium.. that would be a treat for those kids. Play on an NFL field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
