No Kidding

Coach 27 said: ↑

just for once can we congratulate the guys that did make it? Can we leave out all the conspiracy theorys and this kid should have , this kid got screwed etc? Every time something like this is announced the thread immediately turns into a pissing contest about who should have over who did and who got left off instead of focusing on who did make it and the actual event.

This year is no different from last year or the year before. Some can attend that are invited. Some have to decline for many reasons and they are not all going to come on here and explain why.

And before you say anything about this post just go back and read every thread about - State Games - All Conf selections - All State - etc. It never fails. So maybe we need to have two different threads on these topics. One for the people that want to congratulate the guys and talk about the positives and another for the people that want to bitch and moan every frickin time one of these threads pop up.

Congrats to all the kids that will represent NC. Have a great time and make us proud.

Congratulations!!

This is a great group of talent and they should represent North Carolina well. In particular, I'd like to congratulate Ben Fish and Brian Goodwin. Ben was such a great mentor to our son during these last two years, and we will be forever grateful to him for his leadership on the field and behind the plate. Brian always had his back in the outfield, and we were always thankful to know he was trolling centerfield. We will miss them both next year and wish them all the best in this event and going forward. Great job boys!

Nick is actually out of town on vacation and not available... I know you guys will find it hard to believe, but, he actually wanted to stay home or leave his vacation to drive the 6+ hours to attend if selected...

And the scary part is, I was willing to let him but his mother stepped in and put a halt to that in a hurry!!

Like Nick said, it was a temendous honor to be invited and would have been a privilege to have played with the talent that is on this team.

Speaking for him, I know he is sorry he didn't get the opportunity but the team will represent NC very well!

Hugh

Good luck to everyone involved! We will see a lot of you guys at the East/West game.

Thanks. I wondered. I really felt he deserved it. But knowing the vacation you have planned I don't blame him. I have to admit, the team looks very good. Dawgwood makes a good point.

I must totally miss the point of message board. I thought it was to inform and discuss, and maybe throw in a little harmless trash talking from time to time. Everybody here has the highest praise for every guy that does great things in High School sports, otherwise we wouldn't be on here reading about it. If the threads were filled with post after post of "Congratulations, you guys are great" it would get boring in a hurry.

I think if everybody would do as you say, and go back and read every other thread, what they would find is that everytime somebody offers an opinion on an "all-star" team, somebody else will make a post saying you shouldn't mention guys that aren't on it and you should just be complimentary towards the guys that are.

If there were 2 threads, one for the complaining posts and one for the congrats posts, which one would yours fall into Coach 27?

I feet the same way. Ask a simple question (or state a simple opinion), don't complain, and don't mention a player in a negative manner and some think its a conspiracy. It's a baseball board where we know to keep it clean. It's not a psychiatrist's office. Stick to baseball.

To answer that, it would fall into "I call it as I see it" category.

Congratulations to those who earned this honor!! To those that were worthy and havent had the opportunity yet, know there were some tough choices to make!!
