Apologize? You guys are misinterpretting me.

 

I recognize this day as a national tragedy day (I think Bush called it Freedom Day?). But you gotta remember, there are ton of national tragedies in American history - December 7th 1941, April 14 1865. Kennedy and MLKjr. To not respect those would be selfish as well, wouldnt it? People face even greater tragedies, such as the ones brought on by this event (i.e. families who have lost their relatives in the war int he Middle East, or deaths period). To recognize ONE event and ignore others is quite selfish. I AM IN NO WAY demissing 9/11 - I am sad for what happened that day and sypmhasize for those who lost loved ones. Why do I say it shouldnt be in a football forum? This is just not the place where a nation can pay their respects to what happened. Think of other peolples with tragedies of their own. Maybe they dont wanna think about it, dont wanna remember it - they shouldnt be reminded of it on a high school football forum. So, to summarize, I was also affected by 9/11, but coacht is no place for a topic like this, which will get buried under new topics in the coming week.

 

Thats my opinion. I wont apologize for it. I have not offended anyone who was personally affected by 9/11, but rather stood up for a larger group - people who deal with other tragedies. If you think that is offensive in anyway, then I am sorry you feel that way.

This is a place where the members of this board can collectively remember 9/11 together. You seem to be the only one so far to think otherwise. My tip to you is to stop posting on this topic. You have added no thoughtful insight and have only angered members of this board. You don't like it, we get it, move on. Again I would like to send out my thoughts in prayers for those affected by the events of 9/11.

Thank you to who ever started this post. 9/11 attacked out country and everything it stands for. the last time I checked high school football was important to this country. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who died during those attacks and for those who have served since then. I remember that week, That Friday night i saw two schools ( Oak Ridge and Heritage) come together to show our respect for our country. God Bless America and God Bless high school football.

 

thank you ...

mostly just to ###### you off

 

the fact is, none of us would be talking about this great sport if it werent for the heroic actions of our armed forces. so next time you get on your computer and talk about some football, volleyball, basketball or whatever. remember, some people dont have that option cause they are too busy protecting your ###### hadouken

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
