Pearl-Cohn at MBA

I see a very similar game as to what took place back in 1997 between these 2 teams. The Firebirds are LOADED this year and they have dominated in all of their preseason tests. I agree with the Tennessean's prediction that they are in fact Alcoa's biggest challenger in Class 3A. MBA is going to be a powerhouse as always.

 

Thoughts?????

MBA 31

Pearl Cohn 26

 

 

MBA wears them down and wins late.

 

I hear Pearl Cohn is very good this year and has 8-10 potential D1 players. I would expect them to be very athletic and MBA to be well coached. If Simonis is 100% will be a deciding factor.

 

My prediction is that Simonis will not be 100% and Pearl Cohn will have too much speed for MBA. Should be a great game. Final score:

MBA wears down that speed and sneaks away with a 24-20 win. If PC has 8-10 potential D1 athletes then MBA has about 50 potential D1 athletes. Potential being a term very open to one's own interpretation.

The Big Red will handle Pearl-Cohn! Pearl-Cohn does have one or two D1 players (well one for sure...the kid going to Duke) and they looked good at the Vandy 7-7 from what I saw. However, Pearl-Cohn's players are not discipline enough to beat the likes of MBA or other private schools nor do they have the heart or composure to do so. If I remember correctly they also lost to BGA last year as well... a team they should have beat! If If Pearl-Cohn is to have any chance of beating the Big Red they will have to play as a TEAM...an quite frankly I don't think they can on their best day! Speaking of beatings if I remember correctly Thats EXACTLY what they took from the BIG REG last year. Get ready for history to repeat itself! Pearl-Cohn is VERY OVERATED!

The hatred of MBA predates this thread (and this board, the internet, facemasks, Alsaska, Hawaii, and women's suffrage). We're used to it. But I'm really not seeing anything particularly bombastic or offensive here. Maybe Bopper's, but he's even newer than you, so I wouldn't give that one a world of credence. "Shakinthefat" made a predicition he defends, and offered some historical background, but there's nothing hateful in that. And beyond that, he (or she) tends to post objectively enough that I haven't divined his (or her) allegiances and connections.

 

I'm just not seeing anything here to take offensive over. Put another way, if this thread tramples your sensibilities, you probably want to avoid the board in the two weeks prior to and after the MBA-Ensworth game. You'll need the paramedics.

    • 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.
