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?

Yes

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

    • He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.
    • Dylan's Dad, I'm glad you replied. I wanted to reply but wasnt willing to take the bait. There were 20 wrestlers on the team. I may be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 5 of the 20 attend McCallie right now and one will next year. At most, there are/were 6 kids on that team who attend McC. That leaves 14 other team members who have ZERO affiliation with McC (outside of maybe some friends) who represented our state to the best of their ability and wrestled their butts off that weekend. That weekend was a first for Tennessee and obviously a small step in the right direction for us as a state. Congratulations TEAM TN BLACK!
    • Danny Wilson is the only one that come's to mind but I don't know where he is at now.
    • I am pro coach all day long but there are some knucklehead hires for sure. 
    • This is a great question. The retirement seemed a little premature. I do not know the coach personally, but I hope he has found what he is looking for. He is a fine Christian man with a lot of principle and morals about him. I wish him nothing but the best. There are some players in the box for the next coach. This is going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
