Jake was the best. If I had a real live teddy bear it would be Jake Logue. What a blessing to spend every morning the entire summer teaching yoga to my boys. Jake came to my house for Rebel Yoga with the team for classes during dead week. We had yoga on our farm down by the creek in a shady, flat area. I have a few tiny game hens that follow me around like dogs and several of them joined the yoga class. One hen in particular liked Jake and really wanted to help him on the mat. He waited until I turned around to throw rocks at it! He later told me that he hated chickens but didn't want to hurt my feelings. I have the sweetest picture of Jake and his chicken doing yoga. Thus, Jake's Guruji name became "Sri Chicken." All the boys got a yoga nickname from BobbyMama.

 

At the end of each yoga class I always ask the boys to think of one person (besides themselves!) that they are grateful for. We have quiet prayer then say 'Namaste...'

 

After yoga we had a big pasta feed at the house for all the boys. Jake was on his second plate and I was pouring drinks round the dinner table full of giants. I felt his big ole arm hug my waist and then he said "I namasted you tonight, yoga mama." I was so shocked and delighted. He said THAT to me in front of his friends? His players? His brothers of bad? Then I looked into his big puppy dog eyes and said "I namaste you too, Jake" and gave him a bear hug.

 

Jake was THAT kind of kid. I hit my knees in prayer when he went down on that field. I felt like I had been in training for years to focus on prayer that hard and I tried and stayed and prayed and prayed and yelled at others to pray. My pastor reminded me yesterday that I was praying for MY will- not God's. This time last year (nearly to the exact date) I sent my son to drug rehab and hit my knees in prayer day after day for 45 days until he returned home--- then for the rest of the 365 plus. I felt like I 'prayed him through rehab' but I didn't. I just prayed and God's will brought him home to us and will keep him there until the day he decides not to. That's the deal. We gotta give this world back to God.

 

Love,

The BobbyMama &

Jake's Friend

 

If you have not heard this song by Randy Houser, it's worth downloading. Lyrics are below:

 

Have you looked around, have you heard the sound

Mama's cryin'?

Or do you turn away when you see the face

Of the innocent dyin'?

 

In these darkest days are you not afraid

That it's too late?

 

You gotta get down on your knees, believe

Fold your hands and beg and plead

You gotta keep on praying

 

You gotta cry, rain tears of pain

Pound the floor and scream His name

'Cause we're still worth saving

 

We can't go on like this and live like this

We can't love like this

We gotta give this world back to God

 

Have you lost a love? Do you feel like giving' up?

Has your heart been broken?

Are your kids okay? Will they come home safe?

And do you he there hoping?

 

You can make a wish, you knock on wood

It won't do no good

 

You gotta get down on your knees, believe

Fold your hands and beg and plead

You gotta keep on praying

 

You gotta cry, rain tears of pain

Pound the floor and scream His name

'Cause we're still worth saving

 

Can't go on like this and live like this

We can't love like this

Gotta give this world back to God

 

You gotta get down on your knees, believe

Fold your hands and beg and plead

You gotta keep on praying

 

You gotta cry, rain tears of pain

Pound the floor and scream His name

'Cause we're still worth saving

 

Can't go on like this and live like this

We can't love like this

You can hope the best, make a wish, the only answer is

We give this world back to God

 

Gotta give this world back to God

Give this world back to God

    • 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.
