Every fan I have talked to wish they would have played last night regardless of time.  I agree with it! Play the game!! Around 10:00 they had a storm move through and after that it was all clear...could have started around 11 or a little after. People would have rather stayed and got their moneys worth than to not get anything out of it! Several people didn't really have the money to go any way but found a way to go and now they didnt get to see a ball game and out the money!!

That is a pretty raw deal, those criticizing whose game went on as planned is bush league, fans of both teams last night have every right to be upset.....

Gallatin played a game against Collierville back in 2003 that was delayed for hours.  Due to the long drive for Collierville and the chances of rescheduling was almost nil, they opted to play the game after an all clear.  They started about 11:30 at night and it was a great atmosphere.  Collierville won that night and everyone was appreciative that is was played and not held over nor rescheduled.  It would have been late but I think because of the long drive, that would have been a much better option.

I just hope all efforts to stream this game isn't like they were on NFHS this past week. I watched the games on TV but I enjoy setting at my desk watching on the computer also but it never failed every game I watched the signal would get lost and there we have to go into the other room where the TV is. I cancelled that crap Friday Night because you can never plan on seeing a game. That company needs to get their act together and figure out all these bugs before charging people to watch something they can't deliver. They know the problem areas through enough broadcast to know if there will be problems or not. Just be honest and say the chances of this game coming through tonight will be the chances you'll find a plugin for your electrical devices in an outhouse so I can prepare to go to the game or not.

Of course they are waiving parking fees after they already got their money yesterday with no refund!! Dont know what Central's fans, band etc did but HC's fan bus and band had to come all the way back home with no plans of coming back. This is the WORST I have ever seen by the TSSAA!! On top of that now its not on tv for those who had to come back home!! Getting the RAW end of the deal any way you look at it!!! 

What would you have liked them to do? Safety is the first priority. Some say start the game at 11 at night when players haven't had a meal in over 6 hours? Then having people on the road driving home at 2 or 3 in the morning. Is it the best solution in terms of convenienance? No, was it the right call for safety? Yes.

The TSSAA has now taken the free stream off the table.  If you want to watch it, you have to pay for the NHFS subscription. 

Given the circumstances, this is a sham.  The TSSAA has once again proved that they aren't not about the kids, but about the dollars.  They should be ashamed of themselves.

Looks like the TSSAA has relented.  Tweet from Packer this morning:

Its the fact people spent hard earned money to ride the fan bus. People carried their kids on the fan bus and do you realize how many kids are heartbroken this morning because they can't see the game?? I wouldnt expect some people to understand this but its the truth. I have personally talked to several fans that was there and everyone said they wanted to stay no matter how long it took to get the game in. People that have money and are rich wouldnt understand this at all. People who are barely scraping by and spend what little extra money they had to watch the Patriots play in the State Championship game are flat out screwed and that's just not right and I do NOT agree with this outcome

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
