DO AWAY WITH THE TSSAA

****
WELL,NOT THE ENTIRE TSSAA , JUST THE TSSAA FOOTBALL PLAYOFF SYSTEM .

THE TENNESSEE SECONDARY SCHOOLS ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION HAS TOTALLY MESSED UP THE PLAY - OFF SYSTEM .THE TSSAA PROBLEM CAN BE STATED IN TWO WORDS : TOO MANY !!!

YES, TOO MANY !! TWO MANY CHAMPIONS - TOO MANY TEAMS - TOO MANY GAMES .

1 TOO MANY CHAMPIONS .
TENNESSEE WILL CROWN EIGHT TEAMS AS STATE CHAMPS . 25 YEARS AGO ONLY 3 TEAMS WERE CHAMPS . THAT IS A 267 % INCREASE IN CHAMPIONSHIPS .

YEARS AGO LESS THAN 1% OF TEAMS WERE CHAMPS TODAY ALMOST 3 % ARE CHAMPS .

THIS DE-VALUES YOUR TITLE . IT IS ONLY ABOUT ONE THIRD AS MEANINGFUL AS BEFORE

2. TOO MANY TEAMS
YEARS AGO ONLY 48 TEAMS MADE THE PLAYOFFS . TODAY 200 TEAMS QUALIFY .

ABOUT 14 % IN THE PAST , 60 % IN THE PRESENT , OVER FOUR TIMES AS MANY TEAMS MAKE IT NOW .

THERE IS NOT A SINGLE CLASSIFICATION WHERE LESS THAN 55 % OF THE TEAMS MAKE THE PLAY-OFFS . THE RANGE EXTENDS TO DIVISION 2 AA WHERE 100 % GO TO THE BIG SHOW .

IN FACT 45 OF THE 200 TEAMS IN THE PLAYOFFS DO NOT HAVE A WINNING RECORD . ALMOST A FOURTH !!! THAT IS PITIFUL !!!!

IN DAYS OF OLD, MAKING THE PLAYOFFS MEANT COACH KEPT HIS JOB . IN YESTERDAY'S RULES THOSE DUDES IN D2AA WOULD HAVE IT MADE .

3. TOO MANY GAMES
YOU MUST WIN 5 GAMES TO WIN THE STATE . THAT IS ANOTHER HALF A SEASON .

ANOTHER CONSIDERATION ; MANY SCHOOLS LOSE MONEY IN THESE GAMES . EXPENSES TOO GREAT , TOO FEW TICKET SALES .

THE MEDINA MYSTIC SAYS REDUCE REDUCE REDUCE !!!!

REDUCE THE NUMBER OF CHAMPIONS

REDUCE THE NUMBER OF QUALIFIERS

REDUCE THE NUMBERS OF GAMES .

****
HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM . TOLD YOU BEFORE THE SEASON THIS WOULD BE THE FINAL SONG IN NUTT VALLEY .

OLE MISS HAS SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS AS THEY FACE THE FUTURE . IT IS SUPER HARD TO GET OFF THE BOTTOM IN THE SEC .

*****
ACCORDING TO EDWIN EDWARDS { FORMER LA.GOV} HERMAN CAIN DOESN'T HAVE A PROBLEM .

EDWARDS SAYS IT IS ONLY A PROBLEM IF YOU ARE CAUGHT IN BED WITH A DEAD GIRL OR A LIVE BOY .

SO FAR , HERMAN IS IN THE CLEAR !
