When this game got scheduled my first thoughts were the 91-7 game  between Alcoa and Gatlinburg Pittman in 2005.  I believed that was somebody's going away present that shouldn't have been at the controls at the time.  As time passed and all the fumbling around for a coach turned into a living nightmare for some of us that enjoy Ram Football.  I knew as time passed and I seen Alcoa in three scrimmages and the big turn around I witnessed in the Hampton  game a few weeks ago we could at least make this a respectable ballgame.  I'll take a 30-14 loss against Alcoa  in a heartbeat considering we were a 6-6 2A team 10 months ago playing the defending 3A champion tonight with a new coach that has been on board less than 5 months. RB has done a great job so far and look forward to the future.

CRB will make the Rams Winners fast!

Great Coach, great offensive system!

Hey BC...long time no talkie.  My first time back on the "T" in about 5 years!  I will try and find you at the game tonight if you are coming.  

 

I was great to see my `ol buddy FootballDad! :D 

CRB picked some fine young men to help with the Ram program!

Best of luck to them!

I was looking forward to watching the replay last night when I got home from the game because I couldn't see some of the stuff from where I was at but after watching that I'm sure glad I went now. Not sure what happened but when it got dark you could barely see anything until the last play of the third quarter.  I feel sorry for anyone that had to watch from home last night. The only person I know of that wouldn't have been disappointed watching that would have been Stevie Wonder.  My goodness you work out the bugs the night before the game on audio equipment, not during the game itself.

Great to see you too BC...kind of felt like old times.  I will pass along the "fine young men" compliments to the two former Warriors helping CRB.  They are acclimating to having the "G" on their gear, but excited to still be involved in football and hopefully having a positive influence on other young men.  Good luck to your Tornadoes this year, they have a long and proud tradition to uphold.  Good to see that the Alcoa faithful still travel well to support their team.

    • 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.
