The turnovers did the young Pirate team in last week. IF they don’t lose the turnover battle 3-0 that is a one score game either way at the end.  I know I know...  If ifs and buts we’re candy and nuts, wouldn’t it be a Merry Christmas. LMBO.. I’m anxious to see how this young team responds this week.  I was looking at Goodpasture schedule and some highlights. I would say they would be 6-2 right now if they had played the Pirates schedule. Lipscomb and Whitwell might be the only teams better

Lipscomb has proven that they are better this year, but yes, they would have a good record with our schedule.  Sequatchie would be a toss up, I would probably give the nod to the Indians though.  Goodpasture will be a good matchup to get things straightened up though.

I also agree with you about the turnovers.  We were moving the ball well each time that we fumbled and could possibly have scored (one was going to be a definite score).  At the same time though, they weren't just gifts that we gave Whitwell.  On 2 of the fumbles Whitwell took it out of our hands.  In the end, they were the better team but I still like our chances in the next matchup.

All three of them were huge plays. One was going to be a definite score. Another one gave them the ball inside the 40 didn’t it? Another one SP had driven to inside the 30 I believe and was moving it well. Credit Whitwell for making some big plays though.  SP needs to tackle better. You can’t beat good teams with great RBs when you don’t tackle well.

Agree. Fumbles hurt but missed tackles at line of scrimmage hurt as much. Can’t take down big trees with arm swipes up high. Got to put that saw blade down low. Too many yards after contact between tackles that night give up by SP. I do think it could be a wake up call. You will see what kind of team you have after Friday night. Best of luck to Pirate Mikes boys

Some things I want to see the Pirates do in the game this week. Come out with a purpose, give 100% effort, pound the rock more with #9 and set up 7 and 4 for the big gains, stop making the mental mistakes from week one, play tackle football instead of touch football, and just be that Pirate football player we all know you can be.

Old Pirate says SP folkes often are blinded by success over a on time. The Pirates were unable to defeat a more seasoned team loaded with size & speed while playing disciplined. Dad Burnit, some of these SP posts sound like the kinfolkes round the jailhouse. OP ain’t joking neither. 

Old pirate what kind of mess is this? I sent that durn goat down to Bridgeport to try and get Grider another one of them boys from that Google mans place.  I rode him down to save a lot and told that man what we needed.  You think im joking but im not.

Sportman what kind of mess is this? If our boys were playing touch football that Bouldin mans team would have scored every time they got the ball.  You are full of mess.

    • 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.
