my take on the double A game

[ftblLVR557360]

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!

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

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.

you right

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?

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.

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.

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.

The reason I said Titan stadium.. that would be a treat for those kids. Play on an NFL field.

way too big a venue for the crowd that will attend.
