Didn't think this would be much of a game, but now it looks like it could be a nailbiter. Not sure, but Cloudland may have lost one of their best lineman and got another player suspended for the game. Unaka probably knows they have a chance and Cloudland don't look nearly as good as alot of people thought they would be. I really don't get it, I actually thought they would be pretty good. After last nights game,it looks pretty bleak. With Hampton playing NG ,nothing but a total beatdown ,guess I might get to watch it.Could be an exciting game. Go LANDERS.

I get it. If you'll look back at a post I made during the spring, I made a comment about the lack of discipline and that this bunch would be hard for a coach to handle. Too much hot doggin and dancin' around, cheap shots, taunting, throwing tantrums and helmets for that matter. Thats not Cloudland football. I think we have settled for accepting things as they are instead of dealing with them. The result is no improvement from one week to the next. Its the little things that count. I guess they won't like what I have to say this week either, but you know what, I bought the keyboard I'm typing on. :lol:

You might be surprised at how many people agree with you. Alot of people were disapointed and even embarrased at what went on last night. This is not what people have grown to expect in Roan Mt. Going to take alot to right the ship.

I'd say a lot of people do agree with me. I guess I'm the only idiot crazy enough to post it on this website. I have loved this program dearly since 1988 when I first started following it. Even after my playing days were over, I had a hard time letting go. I kept stats for 4 seasons after my playing days were over. I showed up at practice more than some players. Unless someone knows how good it used to be, they can't understand where I'm coming from today.

What exactly went on Friday nite? I haven't heard. I am very surprised Cloudland lost to Avery. I really don't understand how they are playing so bad. They have some talent up there.

What went on was really sad. Cloudland played neck to neck with Avery for most of the first half. It was 10-7 late in the first half when our team was facing a 4th down inside our OWN 40 yard line. Well, we barely made it to move the chains when we were faced with another 4th down. This time, the punter takes the snap and runs right into the heart of the Avery defense and comes up short by about 6 yards. Avery takes over inside our territory and drives it down and scores right before halftime to make it 17-7 and we never recovered. I know there are times to gamble but during the second quarter and down only by 3 pts.?? It all comes down to fundamentals. You have to be able to block, tackle, and protect the football. You have to be disciplined and play with controlled violence. You have to love destruction to play this game. So much of it is mental. Most of the time if a lineman gets whipped, he was already whipped before he lined up.

    • 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.
