Just a question, but why have All-State teams selected by division?  The athletes are either good enough to be on one combined All-State team or they are not.  Congratulations to some really good athletes but to have multiple All-State teams is just another way to “WATER DOWN” football in Tennessee and try to make everyone feel good.

Well, we do live in an "everybody gets a trophy" society.  

I believe there are still one or two all state teams that select irregardless of classification.

Do you really think other states do it anyway different?  If giving out All-State teams per division is "Watering it Down" then i guess GA,FL, Al,TX, etc have "water down" teams then too.  Heck Florida even has 1st, 2nd, and 3rd teams per Classification.

Here is the problem with your first comment, you made it sound like it’s ONLY Tennessee that does it that way and not every other state also. (Even powerhouse football states).

 

Here is a question for you, do you believe that there should be 1 All-American team in College Football?

I guess we should get rid of all the D3, D2, NAIA, and Championship Subdivision too and every Bowl game thats not the Final 4 :rolleyes:.  Heck lets get rid of everything thats not the NFL since those would be the best teams and then you can have your One True Champion each year with the Super Bowl

    • TSSAA restrictions for hiring non-faculty coaches have been removed for over a year at this point. In the past a non-faculty person had to be "grandfathered" by being an assistant coach for five years, being fingerprinted, and having a background check run per TSSAA rules... since those were rescinded, the board of directors for the school district are responsible for any/all restrictions on hiring non-faculty personnel. I guess what I'm saying to you is that if you really wanted what you posted, it's already possible as long as your local BOE will allow for it.
    • stop it, rlh. you’re gonna get me all misty eyed and sentimental.    i see seven fairly regularly. ….but slim shady, that’s like spotting bigfoot on main street. you just hope he doesn’t spot you. 
    • Are you trying to say you didn't find Seven and ShadySlim going at it?
    • hey goat! how’s monterey looking this year?! 
    • several people actually. they said “snoball, do you know who railbird81 is on coacht?” I said, “never heard of her.” they said, “you ought to check it out they’re getting fired up on there like the old days.” well, you can imagine my disappointment when I came here expecting sharp, witty banter and all i found was more akin to toddlers slap fighting. and what looks like 1 guy/gal talking to themselves with multiple accounts.
