not saying i agree....but the kids seem to have just the CCS game and one more left in their season....could be reason for leaving some starters in game....

With an appeal pending, leaving starters in late just exposes them to unnecessary risk of injury. What kind of outrage would there have been if that stud QB had been injured in the last few minutes of that game and SM won their appeal...I don't think the Eagles would want to head into the play-offs with that kind of hole in their roster. Unless of course, Price doesn't think they are gonna win at the hearing.

i don't see how the tssaa can change their ruling....their bylaws are very clear contrary to the posts in here that they are not.....if they had filed for a hardship with the TSSAA properly they may have had a chance at obtaining one from them through the correct channels......tssaa can not ignore the fact that their rules were not followed.....no grey area....it is a done deal....

either you haven't seen them all, or you have trouble counting birdie....

 

Have a son on the team, have attended EVERY game, And I mean EVERY game from the very beginning, you are just riding a hate train to nowhere buddy. I imagine the reason Troll and other reasonable Signal posters have stopped posting is that this thread has escalated to a new level of bull s#\t that is intolerable. You should all take a step back and check yourselves...this has gotten way out of line.

The hearing will be worse for Price. New info has come out

A lot of posting today but still haven't read anyone's justification for hanging 75 on CCS last night. Time outs in the 4th quarter, starting RB still running for a TD is last couple of minutes, hurry up offense,...anyone going to attempt to justify? Other than one poster ho wasn't comfortable with a 69-35 lead in the 4th quarter.

 

Do you really think that shows any class at all? I'm serious--can you be satisfied with that kind of leadership?

I was there,so I will try too.The QB got hit in the back and lost control of the ball.And CCS got the ball back,or it would have been 81 points............Now can SM be satisfied with that kind of leadership? I would have to say NO!!!....All of us on the hill.think they should have ran the ball :roflolk::roflolk:

i was at the game...i saw it with my own valley dwelling eyes.....

 

the rule in question is below straight from the TSSAA bylaws:

 

b. A student who transfers as a result of a change of residence is ineligible unless (1) the old residence

is outside the territory of the new school, and (2) the new residence is both outside the territory of the

old school and inside the territory of the new school;

 

It was clear that the residence was not in the signal mtn school zone.....to check the box that it was without picking up the phone and calling bernard childress and making sure the tssaa agreed with their ASSUMPTION that the residence should be considered in zone due to the HCDE allowing a hardship was just a very negligent thing to do.....all coaches and AD's know that the TSSAA view their bylaws very narrowly....they had to know that they were treading in an area that most prudent people would have asked for clarification from the TSSAA before checking the box that implied that the residence was in the signal mtn. school zone when there was no eveidence of that being the case.

    • 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.
