so whos collectin gates; helpin with parkin and deep fryin the wennies and bananas at the PUB ballgames

 

Booger just sayin  :rolleyes:

When he talks about "helping out" it refers to a paid position of some kind. That includes Sports information directors and Deans of students and assistant athletic directors and assistant coaches.

 

Keeps kids from having their tuition relieved because their dad/mom "helps out".

 

There are some schools that have come up with a lot of "helping out" positions lately.

havin a hard time comin up with an outcome for this game.....seen CPA on film and have seen the Twisters up close.....as of today; got this thing sumwhere round 2-0 CPA or 7-0 Alcoee....cant wait to see it

 

Booger just sayin :mrgreen:

Both are great teams, but I think Alcoa is on a different level. Unless there is / are undisclosed injuries that come into play, I see 21-7 Alcoa.

 

Speaking of injuries, what is the injury situation for both of these teams?

Boog, I think it is more like Secretary, Administrative Assistant, Cafeteria workers, Librarians, Janitors, etc. Lot's of private schools hire parents at lower than market rates and give them a break on tuition. So if a private school doesn't want or can't afford to go D2, those students will have to quit sports or transfer (and maybe sit out a year).

I don't doubt that a lot of those kids have been there. I don't coach anymore so I'm going strictly off of what other coaches/friends have told me. On another forum someone said that kids that went to East Hickman now play for NCS. I'm sure that CPA has a few freshman and sophomores that came from other middle schools. Even if kids that come from other schools to CPA or NCS don't actually start they do help with overall player depth. Which helps with injuries. Things schools like East Hickman have troubles with. CPA has a great coaching staff that could help with any young player. So I see why a kid would want to go there. I've enjoyed watching CPA play during the playoffs. They play hard and don't make many mistakes. I'd like to see #45 have a good game this weekend. Really tough kid! But I still think Alcoa will be too much

CPA and 45# know a two yard gain against that line is a good run. Especially after he met a few of those giants at the Mr Football banquet. CPA had some size last year to do it. This year they are very small. Look for rollouts, screens, with some bombs sprinkled in to try and move the ball.

Alcoa is exactly the kind of team that I thought CPA could have a difficult time lining up against. Alcoa should be favored in this one, but they were last year as well. CPA is either going to need some turnovers to bounce their way or make more than a couple of big plays. They can't give up any TOs or big plays to Alcoa.

All great and accurate points. I think the issue most MidTn people have with CPA or NCS is that they take alot of the good talent from the area and then beat up those teams with their own kids. If those teams were in DII nobody would care. Its tough to build a good support system if the privates take your best players, put them in a great off season program and then destroy you in a region or playoff game.

In the end theres nothing you can do about it but strap up and play ball. I'll be rooting for an Alcoa blowout. I think they have a great football community and anybody that schedules Maryville every year gets my respect. After watching 3 of CPA's playoff games I don't think they win anyway.

I guess in some sense all private students are zoned for somewhere else. But what I find ironic is that when all the privates are forced into D2 and then have the ability to give tuition, you could see even more public student leave for private schools. Edited by coachrus

    • 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.
    • 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.
