DEL, if you think that announcer is stupid, you should see what a sports editor wrote in our county paper. BOY YOU TALK ABOUT SOMEONE STUPID!!! This editor did not even get all the facts before he started writing, but this is just his style!!!

 

 

<_< And to think it took you 7yrs to figure out who I was!!!! :o TKS to co-workers and one broadcaster for the insight to coacht, this was my very first post!!! :P TKS Del for all the coverage you give to the young men and women in our county (Grundy), but also the surrounding counties as well. Hope I didn't get the BP up. Gee's this thing has been around since 2002, you have to get legend status for this thread, heck it what made you famous!!!

 

Again THANKS for all you do for the young men and women!!!!!! I know you don't get told that enough!!!! :flower:

Someone please tell me where Boyd Christian School found the two loons in the back of that pickup with the PA equipment?

 

They did not shut up the entire game. The umps were totally out of line for not calming them down.

 

They talked while we were trying to pitch. They talked while we were trying to hit. And they were the most redundant announcers I've ever heard.

 

They tried to do a radio type broadcast over PA.

 

You don't do radio announcing for PA. You don't call the count and outs and score between every pitch. And the folks at Boyd can say they're just having fun all they want but it's just out of line. Our coaches couldn't call plays many times for their constant jabber.

 

Those guys need to get on the radio and off the PA. Then I can tune them out.

 

But rest assured, we'll be glad to return the favor next year.

 

2003 at Grundy while the Boyd pitcher is trying to hear herself think, you'll hear from the PA.....

 

"Now at the plate Susie Smith. On deck is Becky Jones. In the hole is April Meeks. Gone to the bathroom Mandy Stevens and Carrie Nunley is picking her nose in the corner of the dugout. There's one out, two balls, one strike and three bulbs out on the scoreboard. There's a wasp buzzing my head here in the pressbox. And for the love of God don't forget the concession stand. They've got Goobers, Moon Pies, Beef Jerky and Jolt Cola. We also have the phone numbers of several dentists posted in case you lose a filling on the goobers or rot a tooth with the Jolt Cola....Oh wait a minute, we've had a pitch...and I think she swung so the count is now two and two, there's one out and nobody's fixed those bulbs in the scoreboard. It's the bottom of the second, the score is now 3-2 but I'm not sure who's in the lead because I can't shut up. Come on Grundy we need those outs so we can have a win here on this lovely day...oh wait we're batting. Get a hit. We need some runs. Hey I think I'll play some music. What about it girls? Can we dance and shake it a little in the dugouts in between innings? I'm old and don't get excited over much any more but that will help me some. What song is it you wanna hear? (Crowd chants - Freebird! Freebird!) I heard it then. (Freebird begins to play.) Hey, you can't dance to that....wait....Have we had another pitch? Yeah we did. The count is now full. There's one out and is it still 3-2? Yup that's what I think the scoreboard says so that must be it. But I'm not sure because nobody fixed those bulbs in between pitches. Whew! My throat is getting dry. Can somebody get me a beer? Oh, wait. Did I say that out loud? Sorry moms, dads and all church going folks. With all this talking I just kinda got lost. Hey there's been another pitch and it looks like the girl struck out. Which one was she again? Hey have you been to the concession stand between pitches yet? I've just been informed they've got live bait you can take with when you go and head strait to the pond. That's where my boy and I'll be going as soon as we get done with this ballgame that's in the bottom of the second, with two away and the score is 3-2. Becky Jones is now up, April Meeks is on deck and someone please tell Carrie Nunley to wipe her hands cause she's in the hole and we don't want any of those boogers on the bat. Hey, there comes Mandy Stevens out of the bathroom. Mandy honey will you bring Carrie something to wipe her hands with? She's been digging in that big honker of hers again and we don't want none of that on the bats. Oh and you did remember to wash your hands right? Hey there goes another pitch and it was a ball.....yada, yada, yada, babble, babble, babble, on and on to infinity and beyond!!!"

 

Del (who's a little frustrated with those guys if you couldn't tell.)

 

[Additional note- No players names were used in the above post. All names above were thrown together. There is no intent to say any real player actually picks their nose, has a big honker or goes to the bathroom.]<P>[Edited by DelTavian on 4/6/02 11:00P]

LMBO, I brought this one up. This is hilarious. DelTavian is correct, this is the greatest all time thread.

      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.
