Hard to believe I haven't see a thread about this game. So here it goes.

This is arguably the oldest rivalry game in the state of TN. the two teams have played 94 times with Bradley leading the series 52-39-3.

This year should be an interesting game with both teams being similar to one another on both sides of the ball. They both operate out of the shotgun in the "spread" offense. On defense McMinn is primarily a 4-3 and Bradley is a 3-4.

McMinn last won at Bradley in 2013 on an extremely muddy field as nasty weather suspended the game from Friday night to Saturday evening.

Coach Cagle is 7-5 against the Bears and Coach Floyd is 6-6 against the Cherokees.

This is the type of game where you throw our the record book and sometimes the rule book. Its Black & Gold against Black & Gold....

GO TRIBE!

Field will be a quagmire even if rain stopped today.  It has never drained well.

A couple of corrections to your post. The record is 53-39-3 and Coach Floyd is 6-7 in 13 seasons vs the Cherokees. Both teams have played continuously since 1927.

Rockwood and Harriman have played continuously since 1924. They first met in 1921 but skipped 1922 and 1923. 58-41-4 for Rockwood. 

South Pittsburg and Marion County have played continuously since 1924. 50-40-4 for SP.

Baylor and McCallie first played in 1905 but due to the hatred between the two schools they did not play from 1940-1970. Baylor leads 47-40-4.

Best of luck to the Bears and Cherokees and bring your galoshes. You'll need them.

It was a great rivalry when you were in high school.  The 1987 game (your Jr. year) was certainly a classic with McMinn winning a close game at Bradley.  The Cherokee's all-state punter Mark Plaster blasted a couple of coffin corners inside Bradley's 5 yard line.  Bradley came into that game with an 8-0 record and McMinn was 7-1, the best I remember.  Each team had a future SEC commit on their roster.

McMinn coaches and fans have to feel good about the improvement they've seen this year since the first game, since they have about 55 freshmen and sophomores on the team, with many staring and in the two-deep.

 Tonights game at Bradley after all the rain from this week will be interesting. Their field drains poorly and typically turns into mud. Good footing will be hard to come by as the game progresses and could play a pivotal role in the outcome of the game.

I like McMinn in this one.

McMinn 28

Bradley 20

      Who vandalized Maryville's Football Field?

      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.
