BC or APB - How do the Cyclones match up with you guys? I really figured you boys would be rolling with the Pics by now!! Good luck this week to both teams hope your game is injury free!!

 

Guessing Alcoa by 21

 

 

Hey BF#2............no pictures needed! There's already enough entertainment on this one! Crazy! :roflol: Very typical comments from a school Alcoa has not played yet. :roflol:

quote "Wheres a good place to go and grab some food before the game?

 

Ridgewood BBQ - located about 5 miles out of town on the old Bristol Highway. Be hungry you won't be disappointed.

 

 

I've heard good things about this place. It's the kind of place that Todd Blackledge would review if he was doing a game in the Tri-Cities.

 

If Ridgewood is too crowded, head up to Barker's. :roflol::roflol::lol:

And Alcoa BEAT Maryville(49-14) this year, and last I look Maryville is in the Semi-finals.

Good luck to Betsy players, but I believe they will come out on the short end and again get beaten by a Knoxville area team (like Maryville with the Wittens).

 

Come on EHS, the Maryville/Alcoa game was only 41-24. :roflol:

 

Also: We don't refer to it as Knoxville area teams, it's Blount County area teams. We like to think we are the center of our own universe. :roflol:

 

Technically a Cyclone could be referred to as an F5 also, since back in the dust bowl era (think wizard of OZ) alot of people referred to Tornadoes as Cyclones.

While I agree with some comments about the game, one major item is being obmitted. When was the last time a ETN team won a state championship in Football. It has been a loooooong time, and the reason is simple: Football is better in Knoxville, Middle and West TN. I am from ETN and would love to see Betsy win, but you can't argue with facts. Alcoa has won 5 consecutive championships...do you really think they will be "nervous" for this game? If anyone is nervous it will be Betsy, these current kids have never been here before. I was excitied that Betsy beat AE, but living in Knoxville and watching Alcoa and others (Maryville) year end year out you can't compare the talent.

I think we have 3 teams in the Semi-finals Sullivan South, Greeneville and Elizabethton shut out Greeneville, all that matters is the kids playing Friday. If you ask me Alcoa has the most to be nervous about, they would be the first team in 5 years not to make it to state. Our guys will just be having fun, they were not suppose to be there.

I agree no pressure on the Cyclones this week just have fun and play your butts off and show the rest of the state who we are. GO CYCLONES

    • 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.
