If you haven't seen Wartburg play then you can't say that they aren't better without Adam Vespie. Honestly, I think we are better without Adam. I'm not saying anything about Adam, he's a great basketball player, he really is, but his style of basketball and Jeremy's style of basketball clash. Their styles clashed last year. Without Adam it opens up another spot for someone to step in and play without clashing with Jeremy's style. I'm not saying that it gives Jeremy a chance to be a ball hog either. That's not what I mean. Jeremy's a team player, but he is a scorer. Adam is also a scorer. If you have two scorers on one team then other people aren't going to get a chance to do they're job. With Adam gone, more people have a chance to become factors. I'm not calling Adam a ball hog either. The main point is Wartburg IS better without Adam Vespie.

Wartburg/AC played 3-20 minute halves with the varsity last night. Wartburg was very impressive. They dominated the first 20 and were up 10. AC won the second 20 by 5 and squeaked out the last 20 by 2. If you're keeping score the Bulldogs came out on top by 3. The thick post player was the difference early for Wartburg. They were a very physical team and it took AC awhile to adjust, but they did and it was fairly even for the most part. That's a big step for Wartburg, who used to play AC every year and it was never really close with AC winning easily. Wartburg will be very strong in single A this year and have a great chance to win their region.... AC has a lot of work ahead still finding out who's going to step up with the loss of 5 seniors....

What I meant was Adam was a scorer. Before people knew, stop Adam Vespie and stop Jeremy Shannon. Now, since Adam isn't a main scorer, you have to watch out for everybody, because all those times that Adam would have had the ball, two or three other people are going to have the ball and be a threat now. That's what I was saying.

Adam Vespie can be a factor at some schools but he wasn't one at Wartburg last season!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But who knows he MIGHT be one at Temple. Just remember Vespie there is no "I" in TEAM!

The scrimmage was very impressive by Wartburg. I thought it would be a good match, but I thought that AC would come out on top. Nice job, Bulldogs, and Coach Layne. However, if I know Eldridge, and the rest of the AC boys, they will not let this get them down. They will learn from this, and get better. Watch out for them by tournament time.

Adam is a great player and did open things up for Shannon last year. Shannon was a good player then but Adam helped him because he was a Vespie so he was the main target of D's, But all those points last year gave Shannon the confidence he needed for this year and will now get a chance to show that Vespie was not the reason he was so good last year. We will get the chance if he delivers with flying colors is unknown but I do know he will get the job done at all cost. It would be awsome for Temple and THE BURG to end up in the Championship. Mr. Shannon good luck and same to Adam.

PS: All who despise Vespie do you not want him to succeed at Temple so Shannon has his shot at him in THE BIG GAME?

    • Had what I believed would’ve been a good one hired but he showed up and smelled the cooking going on and said no thanks. 
    • Yeah.  Kids only transfer in and out of Bearden these days, you know.   That particular poster evidentially has a personal vendetta with Josh Jones.   Consider the source.  And the kid transferring to McCallie is a terrific talent, but an opportunity to go to McCallie on scholarship (and I am assuming that is the case) is one that is very much beneficial both athletically and academically.  McCallie is a great school for both.   Bearden will be fine.  And so will both of those kids who decided with their parents/advisors to go elsewhere.  
    • I think we are conducting interviews now since we have so many wanting to come to school here and play for a real team with a chance to play in front of lot's of fan's and have a chance to win a championship every year.  
    • Esteemed colleagues, On this auspicious Saturday morning, I fortuitously encountered Dr. Satterfield at the Early Bird Cafe, whereupon we engaged in a discourse concerning the pool of candidates vying for a coveted position. Dr. Satterfield, possessing a discerning eye, has graciously shared insights into the contenders, which I shall now relay to you in a structured manner. Eric Vetetoe, though initially absent from my considerations, ascended to the zenith of Clint's roster, poised atop his discerning clipboard as a preeminent candidate. Kyle Gregory, with a coaching demeanor reminiscent of a bygone era, has captivated Clint's admiration. His interview performance, I am informed, left an indelible impression, aligning seamlessly with Clint's nostalgic sentiments. Davy Cothron's cerebral approach to offense, notwithstanding a past championship game setback, garners high praise from Dr. Satterfield. His strategic acumen, it appears, remains unblemished despite previous trials. Brandon Eden's steadfast allegiance to the team, evidenced by his tenure on the creekbank, earns him considerable favor in Clint's estimation. Anticipation lingers as to whether an offer may be extended in recognition of his unwavering dedication. Wesley Satterfield emerges as a compelling candidate following a favorable assessment by Mr. Satterfield himself. The prospect of a Satterfield succession holds a certain allure, embodying continuity and tradition in equal measure. Kyle Shoulders, a surprising entrant in the applicant pool, impresses Clint with his football intellect, potentially positioning him as a contender for the role. Josh Hackett's defensive prowess, particularly in encounters against Trousdale over recent years, earns commendation from Coach Satterfield, underscoring his proficiency in the strategic aspects of the game. John McNeal's track record of success across multiple sports affords him undeniable merit, though the prospect of his acceptance, if offered, remains uncertain. Chad Evitts, a former NFL luminary, presents a unique opportunity, recognized keenly by Mr. Satterfield, to infuse our program with elite expertise and experience. Matt Dyer, revered for his contributions during the regular season, faces scrutiny for his playoff performances, a dichotomy that weighs upon Clint's evaluation. Chuck Gentry, endorsed by Dr. Satterfield, embodies the promise of transformative leadership, drawing parallels to his past triumphs in revitalizing programs akin to ours. Clint extols BJ West's astute management at the middle school echelon, where his strategic maneuver of strategically calibrating the team's schedule to optimize performance stands as a testament to his sagacity and acumen in navigating competitive dynamics. In conclusion, the deliberations surrounding our prospective leadership remain nuanced and multifaceted, underscoring the significance of this decision in shaping the future trajectory of our esteemed institution.
