Non-watered down? I forgot about the football powers of Campbell County, Jefferson County and Karns who are a combined 2-6 this year. Not to mention a few more years back when South-Doyle and William Blount were in the conference. If you want to look back 10 or 15 years thats fine I choose to keep it in the present and the present says you are not the defending Big 8 champs. I hope the team overlooks the rest of the conference like the fans, then you will be 0-2 (champions) in this weak conference.

Your point is moot because every conference in the state has their own traditionally weak programs. I challenge you to find me even one exception. And many times schools that are weak in football are traditionally strong in basketball, and vice-versa. It's the same way in college athletics as well.

 

PS-I love your self portrait, but you might want to try Sugar Mamas.

We'll know for sure if his screen name doesn't show up again. But its easy enough to go to another ICP address. He has several screen names anyway. Id hate to see him go away so easly. It has been so easy making him look like a fool. No mater what screen name he uses. :)

I don't know if you read the post I was responding to but that poster said the old big east wasn't watered down like it is now. I was disagreeing and tried to point that out. You actually agree with me you just don't know it.

I agree. The only transfers South has had were Bobby Taylor and Jordan Cassell. Bobby did not have the speed to go to a high division but he had everything else. His timing was more or less good for him to come to South. But had he stayed at DB he would have shared the backfield with Chris. DB could have used him last season. Jordan may very well be a different story. Jordan fits in the mix with Chris and Swafford just fine. He brings something to the table that would have complemented the trio. Of course, that is before Canon... But I agree any athletes college asperations are enhanced playing at DB versus any other school in the region. No one can argue with that. So why did they come? Good question because they really did not get more playing time at South versus what they would have gotten at DB. I think more, and quicker playing time had to be in their thinking but Stacy was well aware of what he had coming from 2004. Many will say they weren't utilized. I think in Bobby's case that could be true. Especially during the playoffs of 2008.

 

While Bobby's 4.55 40 time is not blazing, height was more the issue for colleges.

 

He couldn't have stayed at DB because he never went to DB. Nor was he supposed to.

Bobby was in the DB system at one time and it made a huge difference from him being on the 7th grade team and not being at Robinson in the 8th.DB had another stud back that would have been a senior last year but moved off after his 9th grade year.I was wathching the HBO show about the Jets the other night and there was a 5'6" player at the camp with a good chance to make the team.In other words Bobby had an up hill battle,but had the right person seen him,who knows at the college level.

My guess is Cap is back with an innocent new name. We missed you Cap.

 

Hey Sasquatch.... how does it feel being a fan of team that's biggest Rivaly is David Crockett?

Crockett a rival? There about as big of a rival to us as south is to you guys. A team you give the beat down to year in and year out is no rival. The only thing we have in common is hunting indians.

"Sasquatch" is faking it Art. He has been here on CoachT for along time, has more than one screen name, and is not a Daniel Boone fan. He is a Dobyns Bennett "Hater" from way back. You know who he is.

Sasquatch has a good point. The Big East was an easy Conference for the Indians. DB did have very good teams during it's existance... but the fact remains that we would typically have 1 or 2 max tough conference games a year. Some years we had no tough games at all. Sevier County was the only team to have any kind of success against the Indians (4 victories in 15 years) . Bearden beat DB the last year of the Confernece for their only victory in the series. Jeff County was winless against the Indians, so was Campbell County and Science Hill. Karns beat DB 1 time.

 

I preffer playing in a Conference with the local teams... it just means more to everyone involved. It is not hard to get up for the local traditional powers. I hardly ever miss going to a DB game, but I never once made the trip to Campbell County, it was useless.

    • 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.
