the All MIAA Football Team has been released. I don't see anything to question with the selections. Congrats to all for being recognized for their hard work.

Well my friend Guru informed me that the coaches of each school pick their own players. Have to give Gilman and Poggi much kudos for being classy and only picking seniors. Just an outright classy thing to do.

So your saying a deserving underclassmen should be snubbed? I don't know that I see the logic in your statement.

Are you saying those coaches that nominated underclassmen are classless?

Also, I believe the coaches vote on the nominated players but cannot vote for their own players. I'm not sure how many votes are required to make the team. Anyone out there have an insight as to how the process works?

No that's not what I'm saying at all. I personally hate the whole process. I think the coaches pick their own players but I could be wrong. If you are asking me if I think there players that shouldn't be on the list, absolutely and I mean from every team.

I have no clue. It's almost like little league, where everybody gets a trophy!

Adds ammunition for those who like to describe the league and its playoff structure and championship as hokey

Normally how picking an All-Whatever team works is the conference commissioner asks head coaches to give them their all-league nominations (usually around Weeks 9, 10, or 11), O/D player of the year and coach of the year. You can nominate your own players, but cannot vote for your own player for player of the year or yourself for coach of the year.

Usually the coach sits down with his staff and they come to a consensus of the players they're nominating.That list of players and your vote for player and coach of the year are emailed to the commissioner. At the end of season meeting or conference call, the coaches debate the names and chose the all-league teams.

I don't know if the MIAA does this last step. They may just get lists from the coaches and put them all on the all-conference team.

I'm pretty sure that all the teams picked their players and they all make the team. I am fully against this process. Don't think it's fair to the kids. I think kids want to feel the pride of making 1st, 2nd, 3rd team. And for the underclassmen who come back next year, you want to strive to get to that next level. I remember being in high school and making 2nd team All Met(not in football) my junior year and being disappointed but having that drive to proven the voters wrong and making sure I made first team the next. The way the process is now is just silly.

Must have been dodge ball. You're pretty good at avoiding all the incomming shells fired your way. I'm surprised you were only second team.

You always keep me laughing OC. I don't care what anybody says about you, you're alright in my book!

I usually don't like your brand of sarcasm. Even though GA and I are cool, that is some funny ****!

MIAA Coaches select their own players and send the list in. That's the way it has always worked from my recollection.

There use to be teams though. Now it's just a list. But you're right, the coaches select their own players.
