Comments on: Bryce Brown: On the Road Again http://blogs.varsitykansas.com/blog/2008/07/17/bryce-brown-on-the-road-again/ The inside scoop on Kansas high school sports. Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:52:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: jackporter http://blogs.varsitykansas.com/blog/2008/07/17/bryce-brown-on-the-road-again/#comment-5401 jackporter Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:10:31 +0000 http://blogs.varsitykansas.com/blog/2008/07/17/bryce-brown-on-the-road-again/#comment-5401 the main problem with kansas is that athletes dont have enough school spirit and pride. this became obvious the second day in my new school (blackman high school). the pep rally on the second day left you with ringing ears and goose bumps because of the sheer intensity of pride and spirit. it is this way with all schools in tennessee. when i stepped out onto the track at state, it was not only for me, but more importantly for my school and county. they ACTUALLY care about their athletes, and in turn, the athletes care about winning for their schools more. a good example being the state title that me and fellow Rutherford County student Terr won at state. the county commissioner invited us to be honored at the semiannual county commission meeting. it was an honor that would not have been experienced in kansas because they dont care about their athletes as much there. everytime an athlete is out there competing, its not only for themselves, but for their school and county. the point: kansas athletes and coaches are too selfish. period. the main problem with kansas is that athletes dont have enough school spirit and pride. this became obvious the second day in my new school (blackman high school). the pep rally on the second day left you with ringing ears and goose bumps because of the sheer intensity of pride and spirit. it is this way with all schools in tennessee. when i stepped out onto the track at state, it was not only for me, but more importantly for my school and county. they ACTUALLY care about their athletes, and in turn, the athletes care about winning for their schools more.

Being the state record holder of Tennessee, and the state champion of the 110 meter high hurdles, I very well know what it feels like. If I didn't get a D1 scholarship (I obviously will) I would be fine with it. The state record and the multiple state titles will last forever, even if the record is broken. So anybody that thinks they know shit about how success feels, you most likely know nothing, because if you did, you know its all about the titles. and for me, the records. you can always go to college, walk-on, work you ass off, and end up making the team and earning a scholarship. you arrogant idiots that say scholarships over titles are full of crap! i have both, and i would take the titles over the scholarships any day. and i did used to live in mcpherson kansas, so i do know what you are talking about. i know of all the teams and coaches and athletes you speak of and none of them (excluding the Brown brothers) can match Tennessee. the teams are better, the athletes are better, and the atmosphere is WAY better.

I agree with Mominthestands that this has become a bore and the point wasnt intendednot to go more than one comment really.With that being said you will never convince me that a team (ficticious as it is) of the cats from Potential Players wouldnt completly destroy any High School team. Like i have said before i dont think people realize the pure talent,speed,and power advantage they would have even with out being "coached" its not even a fair comparision. voice of reason i watch pretty close on here and havnt read to many missinformed from this side my friend and this "money" issue is laughable really,i promise you people spend more going out to dinner in a month than is spent to train a kid at Potential Players. Im not sure where the idea came from that Brian is stealing peoples money believe me this dude is "real" and one of the best things to happen for football players in this aera ever! Take the time to gather information people on what is really going on. yoman you can think what you will and voice it all you want that is what this site is for but know this those “stars” work harder than ANY kids in this state.

We all promote our own brand of elitism depending on our value systems. Potential Players addresses the needs of individual athletes. It isn't intended for "average Joe". Suspect we should be way less suspect of Mr. Butler's agenda and be less bothered by his sometimes grating ways. It's a distraction from the good that can come from what is trying to be accomplished. For those in communities where entire towns are behind one team, or private schools whose families practice commitment and participation in order to support their institutions, have clear advantage over the team concept. The quality of the programs is a direct result of the investments made. Your pride is surely earned. It does not, however, lessen the worth of schools who do not enjoy these benefits. Our family is every bit as proud and invested in our USD259 public school football program. While the team struggles, and often falters and fails, they deserve respect. On the flip side of prestige and privilege is the significance of being bold enough to play the game without automatic glory or with particular greatness. For this I believe our kids are the absolute best! Let's just salute all and move on. This whole subject has become such a bore.
