For a program that has never been to a state title game, ya'll act like you're tripping over gold balls and hit a slump recently. Nobody in DII-AA is worried about GCA or Rusty Bradley. You're not playing Rockwood and the Barney Fife schools anymore.

Geez you sound awful mean for a guy with kicking balls in his screen name.:rolleyes: Edited by orngnblk

I haven't seen anyone talking about winning a state championship or anything pertaining to a state championship. I think you're off base in your assessment of the true GCA fan base. But, yes, we are very excited about our new coach and look forward to competing in the new division.

90% of fans who are excited about the upcoming season fall into the not "tripping over gold balls" category. Looking forward to improvement shouldn't be mocked. Get some perspective...

So I take it your suggesting I need to cancel my room reservations in Cookeville November 30th.

I love it when people respond to a post and type faster in their response than their brains can comprehend what they've just read. Pride stated Rams are preparing for August, not November. The preparation leading up to August will dictate if the Rams will be around in November. There's nothing wrong with being excited for a new era to begin in our program, and no one is predicting a title run that I've seen. I'm also so glad to hear in your vast knowledge of DII-AA football that you have polled the coaches and nobody is worried about us or Rusty Bradley. The coaching staff was just saying the other day that they were hoping that nobody in DII-AA would be intimidated by our size, speed and athletic prowess not to mention our bronze Ram statue. What I'd suggest is you go practice kicking your balls, and we'll focus on throwing and running ours.

Bottom line: People at GCA are excited about the Rusty Bradley system being implemented from the youth program up to the HS program. Let us be happy, for shortly we will be playing good competition (Non-Barney Fife schools) in a new division. Good luck to all the DII-AA teams.

    • 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.
