Does the game start eastern time or central time wasn't sure where the time zone is down there? 

That's an excellent question because East Tennessee consists of 33 counties, 30 located within the Eastern Time Zone and three counties in the Central Time Zone (Bledsoe, Cumberland, and Marion).

This concludes our TED Talk for today. 

Go 'Kees!

are you meaning counties located in regions 1-4?  Because if so there are a lot more than that in central time zone

Coming down from 75 then to 24 is a nightmare when you hit the Hamilton County line, so I would advise to leave early or go the back way on 40 to Crossville  and take 127 that turns to 28 once you get out of Dunlap to Whitwell. 24 is one of the worst interstates in the USA.  I hate going to Chattanooga bc of it.  Just leave early is all I'm saying and be careful bc it's going to be messy.

He’s a good LB for us but nothing like Whitwell’s. But he also has another year to get better. And WingoVFL, no we haven’t played skill players as good as Whitwell’s but in the passing game, will they be able to drop and cover the zones? Won’t be able to play straight man coverage or it’ll be a long night. But will we be able to tackle?

LOPAO, GB must establish run game! QB is very crafty & will give Tigers a fit running & passing. The same is true of #15 for Whitwell. Going to be a dandy

This LB talk got me to thinking . 

I actually thought that #55 was our leading tackler and he was for the first half of the season and is a close second.  Our DL makes a lot of tackles, 160 total to be exact compared to LB's at 104.5.  This is according to the on-line stats.  I'm no statistician but that seems like a lot of tackles for a DL.  There were a lot of games where the LB's have few tackle because the RB's weren't getting past the LOS.

I wasn't around last year so I don't have a point of reference here so I have a question.  There were two LB's last year that had 130+ tackles, why is that?  Is the line play that much better this year?  I know Gilbert was a great LB but most of the time the RB's are getting stopped before they get to the LB's.  I know #3 hasn't played as much defense this year because of the early injury but he is at only a fraction of the tackles he had last year.

DB's have made their share of tackles this year but the majority of them have been against the passing teams as they should be.

Anyway. Just curious.  Either way it works because rushing yards have been hard to come by for opposing teams since the first game.

55 might be our leading tackler now. As for the numbers that was recorded for last year, they’re not accurate.

    • 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.
