Young Buck, I have been asked to and have sent in a nomination ballot every year since the late 90s.  

And although I haven't been one of the selection committee members, I am friends with a couple who are part of that process.  Just because I am retired from active media doesn't mean that I don't still have friends in media and coaching.  

But whatever floats your boat, YB.  

My apologies

Mr. Football is an award based on the regular season and is selected before the playoffs begin.  Bishop was absolutely deserving. He didn't steal anything.

Not that anyone cares - but Latham averaged over 200 yards a game in most of the games that didn’t feature a running clock.  I would be curious how many yards he could have had in games if we fed him

I can assure you votes are in and counted before playoffs start

OK, so explain to me how Mr. Football is selected.  

I am aware of how it is done.  Don't believe that most people, are, however.  

 

 

First off have no dog in the fight but I watched this one bc of kid from White Co amazing stats and team making 1st playoff run. Kid from Karns is D1 talent. Spears responded to a lady on Twitter with factual info, she said based on lack of coverage and Spears put the link up showing Tennessean did a big piece on White Co RB which is how I learned of his accomplishments. I would appreciate more of your knowledge on like committee of media( how many, locations region. Where would confirmation of academics and character come? Nominee coach wouldn't suggest his player if he lacked these qualities. Or are nominations not made by players coach/school?

That is correct.  Contrary to popular belief it's not an award given to those who receive the most "votes".  Media and coaches nominate individuals, and those nominations are tabulated and then the semi-finalists selected. From there an independent committee makes the selection, and none of those can have any ties to schools or nominees.    

It's not a popular vote.  

Independent committee is TSSAA? Thanks again for your insite.

No, not TSSAA personnel.  

And I will add that in all of my years when I have done a nomination ballot I took it seriously, as do those I know who also have a nomination ballot.  I took time to do research and talk to people who saw a potential nominee play and had interaction with them.  And I didn't make nominations in classifications that I wasn't familiar with, in my case the lower D1s and D2s, given that I didn't have much opportunity to see them play.

Let me tell all of you this. You wont find a better kid. A more respectable kid then Malaki Dowell. He makes really good grades.  Some of you should be ashamed of yourselves trying to say him not getting award because of character or grades. He is not a hood rat. 

This seems a bit misread. I don’t think folks were making fun of the kid but simply asking/stating what may be used as judging criteria. Just cause he didn’t get it doesn’t mean he’s a “hood rat”. I may try to avoid the term “hood rat” in the future

wth.  We don't know him either.  And no one called him names.  We are trying to figure out why he didn't get it.

Man I bet you're a huge hit at parties and whatnot.  I love a good oneUpper. 

 

When you get a chance can you describe how an atom is split? And what's the oxygen/hydrogen mix on Mercury?  Let me know when you get in touch with your friends that have been to Mercury and have splitted them atoms.

      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.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
