If you are saying play in Memphis in The Mid South Coliseum I say yea that would be good...Why put 8 or 9,000 people in an arena that holds what 19 or 20,000 people...Put em in The Coliseum...As to Mempho being dangerous...I have been to games at Kingsbury and Treadwell...They were great atmospheres for high school basketball and never once had a problem with the fans....If your scared say your scared.... :lol:

 

Also Chattanooga would be a good place to hold the state tourney at the Roundhouse....

The Coliseum is an absolute dump. You're missing my whole point.

 

What would mean more to you 50 years from now talking to your grandkids? "I played in the state tournament at MTSU" or "I played in the state tournament where the (Grizzlies/Tigers/Vols/Preds) play"?

 

The bigger arenas can curtain off the upstairs levels if they don't expect to sell enough tickets to need them.

Your standards for pretty good shape are very, very different than mine, then. The Coliseum certainly had its days, but they've passed.

The way things are going, there's a good chance there won't be any hockey in Nashville. Might be saying, "I played where they play arena football."

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
