Maybe I say things to just see grown adults like you get all worked up over nothing. Have your seen comments by others, why attack me? They say nothing about anything, bashing others about their opinion, yet you dig on me? Maybe you get a hobby, or maybe a life......This thread was about whether we agree the All "A" should call themselves state champions. The opinion is by some, not the ALL "A" cronies, that it's not regulated by KHSAA, so its false pretense, its not a state championship, period. get your t-shirts, rings, banners all you want, it's a lie. If I want to put pics of whimsical dialect to make my point, so be it, others put far more damaging things on here than I do, I titillate with tongue in cheek. Get over yourself. I don't need to fix anything that has no bearing on anything like the ALL "A" tournament. take pride in what you accomplish, but don't undermine what the organizations already have in place by calling yourself something your not.

 

I am not worked up at all, you keep saying the same thing over and over. Sounds to me your the one worked up over what they call. I have posted anything in a couple days if you haven't noticed so who is the one with the life. ALL A STATE CHAMPIONS

It is done exactly like the KHSAA would do it. It has a set criteria for which teams can compete in it, just like the KHSAA does for it classes that gives State Championships out in other sports. The KHSAA probably definitely has classes now if it wasn't for this. It's really not complicated to figure this out. As I said before the only time someone could or should have a problem with this is if people just call the winner the state champion and leaves out the All A in front of it. However the majority of the time people clearly say the All A State Champion, so it takes nothing away at all from the KHSAA State Tournament. So seriously what is the problem? You said in your previous post you like to see grown adults get all worked up. Well what do you think you are doing getting all worked up about this subject? Its the All A State Champion, and it doesn't take away from the KHSAA State Champion or hurt anyone, well besides apparently the people like you who have made such a big deal out of them calling it the All A State Championship.

 

Can't explain it any better than that, so everyone read it very carefully so you can understand it.

Not when you post, you post off of my comment, you must have "thread envy" or something? If you've noticed CAP, I don't comment a ton either, just a jab here or there, so why are you attacking me? You haven't answered that have you? I said my peace, you made my point, I have been consistent on it every time, so quit beating a dead horse. You support it, I don't, so congrats on your false banners and rings.

"Its' done exactly like the KHSAA would do it" thanks you for clarifying that it is NOT KHSAA, which governs all coaches, refs, and athletes, therefore the All "A" is NOT a state championship. Thank you for clarifying........Job well done CAP!!

I did check your posts, and I do not see citings "often" as you stated, your opinion, yes, but we know what that is because you have pounded your opinion on this thread through 275 posts…so we get it, your angry about the All A…get over it.

 

Why would the Bishop of the Diocese of Covington go to the winner of the LIT ? Wouldn't that be Bishop Kurtz' responsibility ?

 

Traditional Bank has and will continue to be a showcase tournament for teams, not an all state invitational for classified schools.

 

And yes, someone, somewhere, decided that they would put the time, effort, energy and dollars into putting on a tournament for the A schools, regardless of reason, and they did and continue to do so. Just because the larger schools don't have a Stan Steidel who is as committed to his cause doesn't mean the tournament is a bad thing, it's just a thing…..

 

Why are you so hung up on a tournament that obviously doesn't affect you at all ? That, my friend, is what's perplexing about your stance. Good luck tilting at the windmills….

 

Go check all of LB's posts, or go check the HC website and FB pages. U think the winner of the LIT had a school assembly? Everyone says it not treated like a "State Championship". Sure seems to be.

LMAO!!! "Its' done exactly like the KHSAA would do it" thanks you for clarifying that it is NOT KHSAA, which governs all coaches, refs, and athletes, therefore the All "A" is NOT a state championship. Thank you for clarifying........Job well done CAP!!

 

still an All A State championship.

Schools can do what ever they like and treat it however they like. Why does that bother anyone.

 

There is a local BIG school that had ESPN on TV patches made for their letterman jackets because they played on TV. Why would anyone outside the school care?

Only the catholic schools have the big assemblies, banners made, rings purchased, & days off for being State Champs, I mean All "A" State Champs. ;)

Good lord, this thread has turned into a train wreck........again I blame RCC9 for this "fiasco". :no: :facepalm: :lol2:

Then answer this - if the All-A meets all the criteria as a State Championship, then why are all the teams that participate in the All-A also playing in the KHSAA tournament in Feb-March? This is Kentucky, we're supposed to only have 1 champion. And if we had classes, then you would either be in one tournament or the other - not both.

Because they can participate in both.
