I won't criticize the meeting. The board is trying to do the best thing possible. The proposals are reasonable. I would put all of this on the Governor. TSSAA seemed surprised by his extended order. Did anyone from the governor's office contact TSSAA about possible ramifications? If no, that's inexcusable.

That is par for the course in government at the moment.

You have school systems making decisions and telling parents without even running it by faculty.

Things change as well. Last week health officials got a memo ahead of time about the order. The memo said that the order was gonna apply to churches as well. Well that wasn't the case.

People in these positions are hired to make decisions and that is what they are doing. If they didn't make decisions they would be criticized for that. They get information and then decide. Just like a head coach, he may ask what other coaches think but he makes the call and rightfully so. Can't please everyone anyway, so why ask sometimes.

It's obvious that you have something to lose in this as does every kid, parent, coach, and even fans. If it's that important to your family as a whole I honestly wouldnt wait, as Tennessee seems to be

Its hard to argue that they are getting information when they don't even talk to groups directly involved in the decision. IE the governor not even talking to the TSSAA and the BOE not even talking to teachers/covid response teams.

See, they didn't talk to who you thought they should.

It isn't too much to ask for transparency from elected officials.

 

That is why they were elected. They get information from their sources and make decisions. Just so you know they have staffs that help them with decisions.

The Options Are:

7 Game Season; 32 Team Playoff (this is what the TSSAA prefers for $$$ reasons)

8 Game Season; 16 Team Playoff

9 Game Season; 8 Team Playoff

10 Game Season; No Playoffs

 

Re-Classification was tabled until a later date.  They couldn't decide whether to just use the numbers from February or to use the jacked up numbers from this upcoming fall that will be insanely inaccurate.  The argument made against using February's numbers was that it impacts "new schools" that are opening in the fall (i.e. Green Hill High School in Wilson County and the kids that it will take away from other schools in the county).  

They should have used February numbers for most schools, then added in the new schools' or ones affected by new schools when they were able to do so. It's going to put off and you'll have same alignments with no chance of going to four classes in basketball, softball, baseball even though it's needed.

We've finally found something that we agree 100% on. I've been vocal about my displeasure with TSSAA for ducking their responsibility, so I'll be just as vocal in support... there's no way to forsee the upcoming changes, but barring that, I think that they have put together a reasonable set of propositions for football to be played. I personally like the even number of regular season games with playoffs proposal, but at this point, I'd be happy with just playing the greatest amount of games that will fit into the timeframe allowable. 

  For your take on the political side, you are absolutely correct again. We are a Republic, not a "true" democracy... the masses select someone trustworthy to make informed decisions for/in their best interest, and should support the process or select someone else to represent the public interest.

As of yesterday, Georgia has 84, 337 confirmed cases and 2,827 deaths. Tennessee has 43, 905 confirmed cases and 604 deaths. 

 

Thank you, that tells me one of us doesnt know what we are doing though as well. Not sure which end of the spectrum we fall however I like our statistics much better.

      Groves got the ball over 20+ times. His son arguably played the best for East in that game. 3rd and long multiple times and he came up big to continue a couple drives. Please shut up for the 3rd year in a row

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.
