I know for a fact that when Bobby Bentley was coaching those great Byrnes teams in South Carolina he tried to get a home and away with Maryville but was told they had zero interest.  The response was that between the region games and the rivalry games they played there was no room on the schedule.

I know all about Byrnes. I got a former Byrnes all state QB sitting right next to me at my house watching USC vs Coastal.

Talk about beating on a dead horse. This one is so dead, all of it's flesh has totally decayed, and all that is left is a bleached white skeleton. And folks are still taking a whack at it.

SMH.

As long as Maryville is winning, in the fashion to which they are accustomed to doing, they should continue to schedule like they do. If it ain't broke ...

The HATERS that keep bringing this up are just that.

HATERS.

HATERS, do us all a favor.

Put a sock in it.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

OK my little take on it.  There is NO upside for Maryville to do this.  Most folks have NO idea how expensive a game like this is.

My son played for R'dale when Rankin was the HC.  He scheduled a team in Ohio that was 'supposed' to be really good.  This trip required EVERY player to contribute or have contributed $500 EACH for the trip.  I was lucky in that the owner of a Liquor Store sponsored my son.  This was because the owner is a R'dale alum and an ex football player.  This did not include the walking around money I handed him for walking around or for a bus ticket home if he had to.  He and Rankin did NOT get along and Rankin has been known to leave players places if the team lost.  IE 4 players after the loss to Dickson in the playoffs.

Long story short, the expense total for the trip was OVER $100,000.00.  R'dale went there and beat the Ohio team like a rented mule and came home after a stop at a theme park for the team for the win. 

It got R'dale exactly NOTHING as the Ohio team did NOT honor their home and away promise.  They paid a measly $500 forfeit fee and did not have to make the trip here and it left R'dale a game short and scrambling to fill their 10 game regular season.

I like a lot USED to harass Maryville about this.  No MORE as they have repeatedly stepped up and BEAT teams that are tough.  Proof is their total record dominating Rutherford County teams as well as their Gold and Silver Ball collection!

    • 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.
