12AA, I think wolfchase is ok to something with his theories of special teams and field position being an important part of the game.  I don’t necessarily share his enthusiasm about Fairview’s players but that’s neither here nor there.   

I am just waiting for him to throw in the annexation of Puerto Rico.

In all seriousness, he acts like Stratford has no idea how bad their special teams are, the reality is inner city schools do not have the specialist to be successful consistently on special teams. Lack of kickers and long snappers are detrimental. Pretty sure if their coach had a kicker he would put him out there. 

 

If he would have done his research he would know the Stratford HC took over midway through the season so expanding the playbook is not a big option at this point. I appreciate the Stratford students as we played them twice and both were physical battles.

I'm seeing 100% chance of rain from 6-9pm. I think all these score totals are too high except possibly Joyce. I'm thinking more like a 16-12 type game.

Local TV forecast predicted 0.32" of rain in the Friday / Saturday timeframe. That may mean pretty light showers during the 2 hours of the game. I still plan to wear my full rain gear, though.

Happy Thanksgiving Football people, that's really what's it's all about, Thanks & Gratitude, serving others, our neighbors, friends & enemies and of course our creator & genesis of all beings & things Jesus Christ. It's ultimately not about W's or L's, tfl's or completion %, oops (what was his name? 12aa) :D don't wanna go over his head. 

Anyway to step away from the banter & analysis for a minute "Happy Thanksgiving to All Win Lose or Draw"

I'll get back to the analysis soon(only compelled to do it during Playoff Football so about a 2-3 weeks max)

Happy thanksgiving everyone!  I know I don't really have a dog in the race, but I have picked against Stratford twice in a row now and have been burned. Their playing great football at the right time.  I'm not really sure about this game, although I think Stratford is a mission and it's going to be tough to stop their momentum.  I think the Chargers are on a mission as well and it sounds like they are solid and balanced all around!  This should be one heck of a game!   Best of luck to both teams and a injury free game!

    • 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.
