Boyd vs Rockwood

Well I'm finally getting around to posting on here. It was pretty late when I got back to The Reservation last night so I just let it go for a bit. First to Boyd, great people, everyone was extremely friendly that I met & that concession stand is off the hook! I mean real pulled pork BBQ nachos & Brunswick stew at a concession stand, that's pretty good grub. Facility was nice & the "liars wall" was a great perch to watch the game. The teams, both tried very hard to give this one away, Boyd just tried a little harder. A lot of mistakes on both sides but playing a quality team will tend to force you into mistakes, I think both sides suffered from that just a bit because both squads are very good teams. Boyd's #1 is incredible at safety, we were talking he could play at the next level now, the fact he is a freshman is crazy! If he gets better he will play on TV Saturdays & to be honest maybe Sundays if he's fast enough for Sundays. Rockwood was exactly what Rockwood is. I think I'll leave any critique for later given we play them Friday, don't wanna generate any Tiger fodder with a misunderstood post. Overall I had a very good time & watched a good football game. I guess the only surprising thing about the whole game was the Boyd fans. Now I met several very passionate fans & I'm sure there were plenty more I didn't meet but overall that was the smallest & quietest (except slice lol) home side to a playoff game I remember seeing. Rockwood brought a bunch & they rocked all night. It just didn't feel like a playoff game for Boyd. I'm not trying to bash & I debated posting anything about that but I actually had a few Boyd fans ask me to, saying they couldn't because they were part of it and they would ruffle feathers but folks needed to hear it. When I think November at the swamp I was expecting a rocking venue. Like I said, I had a great time & the Boyd folks were great, I guess I was just expecting a bunch of wild, rabid bucs once they kicked off. Reaction, pleasure as always, Slice calm down dude :lol: nice to meet you also. Maybe reaction can find a nice pic of a hot air balloon to post here for ya :roflol: Great place, great folks, great game, & one insanely long paragraph. See y'all at The Reservation, I'm out.

We dropped a wide open TD pass and several that would have given us 1st downs. We make those plays we win. Rockwood deserved to win.

 

Having said that... These may be the worst refs I've ever seen. 3 times the ref walking off yardage got the yardage wrong. He didn't walk off as much as he should have. (Did this to both teams)

Tssaa should do some training because these guys need it. As I said earlier ...they were bad but unbiased.

WOW, guess some things never change! Always someone else's fault. Congrats Rockwood!!

  You can't duplicate SMALL TOWN FOOTBALL. Its a shame that the private school kids never get to play in that type of enviroment I'd hate to live in an area where you have to issolate you're kids from the real world. Us small town folks are blessed.

They must not teach reading comprehension at Friendship.

You got "always someone else's fault" from

We missed plays that could have won the game...

Rockwood deserved to win...

And the refs were bad but unbiased ....

 

Sounds to me that you, the Friendship guy, is the one with an agenda here.

Real life experience says that those small town kids that actually leave the small town have a hard time adjusting to life outside of the small town

Well..I don't know your "real life experience", but we have had kids several work in the White House and several more attend Harvard.  You can take shots at small towns...but at the end of the day you are still sitting at home and our small town football team moves on to play another great small town football team.  Losers are still Losers no matter what excuse they have, or what cheap shots they take.

    • 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.
