I hope WB puts the swords back on their helmet. I am not crazy about the cursive "Govs" script that they are using now

or better yet bring back the complete meadows era navy blue uniforms that had the swords logo on the helmet,jersey sleeves, and pants. those were sharp imo. i like simple looking uniforms and im kind of a traditionalist when it comes to that stuff, i dont like the idea of constantly changing unis. heres my view, find a sharp uniform design and leave it alone, dont keep changing.

Went to the meet and greet last night, and will have to say I was impressed with Coach Ridge. He is young, energetic, and you can tell he is very excited to be back at his home school. Several of the football players that will be seniors next year were a little bummed out knowing they were going to have another new coach for their senior year, but after meeting Coach Ridge, they seem to be really excited. Coach Ridge has not even made it to campus yet and he has already done more to reach out to his feeder programs than the previous two head coaches did in their combined seven years there.

 

This job will not be a quick or easy fix, but I feel like this was a good fit. Good luck to Coach Ridge and his staff.

I have to agree with you, 91. I loved the all-blue home uniforms that WB wore in 2005 and 2006 (and 2007 and 2008, very sparingly). Those looked really nice. The away uniforms with the blue pants were also a favorite of mine.

Good luck Coach Ridge. Here's to the Governors getting in the thick of Blount County and east Tennessee high caliber football. Get Alcoa back on the schedule, have a true Blount County round robin champion then get in the hunt for bigger prizes.I would love to see the Govs improve and bring Heritage with them.

Gotta love this. Team consistantly underperforms and all you guys can think about is uniforms ? I might dress them in burlap until they can at least get to .500

    • 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.
