Memphis site for State Tournament???

The move of the DII State Championships to David Lipscomb is official, and it's happening next season. This is a smart move, as the arena is better sized for the smaller crowds, and it allows the games to be played two weeks earlier, avoiding the long layoff that happened previously. Two more weeks of practice for Spring sports, and a chance for the players to actually go on Spring Break!!

Thank God for a little common sense from the T$$AA...location does mean more than money for once...

 

Let's all hope that Nashville gets in gear and tries to get all of the state championships in their back yard...otherwise everyone will be driving to Memphis for everything.

Doesn't take 7 hours to get from Knoxville to Memphis.

 

I live in East Memphis, in the fall I live on the UT campus...fraternity park anyway.

 

Knoxville is mile marker 386 and Cordova/ East Memphis is mile marker 16 so thats 360 miles at 70 miles an hour (probably do more, 70 is just the speed limit and everyone goes atleast 74/75)

 

It takes about 5 hours non stop or less...and really I've seen it done in 4 and a half hours.

I still say Memphis is better suited for the Mississippi state championships.......no one outside of Memphis wants to go there!!!!!!

Blah blah blah...nobody outside of Martin wants to go there, so what's your point? Is Martin better suited for the Kentucky state championships?

Anyone reading some of the comments from the Commercial Appeal articles posted on CoachT may gain some insigts as to why the Memphis bid was not chosen.

 

Susan Brown, the Executive Director of the Memphis Sports Authority, had this to offer:

 

"The state tournaments," she said, "are really played in Memphis anyway."

 

Wow!! I guess she is focused solely on 3A boys. Even the TSSAA would have to be amazed and appalled at that attitude! So much for their next bid!!

I'm glad your not hauling kids to games. B) Take another look at your post and redo the math. B)

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
