I give Peabody the edge simply for the fact that the stands at Dyersburg on both sides are rather flat to me. What I mean by that it is a low-rise. This stands on the home side at Dyersburg offer a much better view as they are a bit steeper. Your view from the top row at Peabody is a much better view than your view from the top row at Dyersburg. Plus, being in the media I believe Peabody has the best and most media-friendly Press Box for high school sports in West Tennessee.

I see your point. I guess it all depends on your perspective for watching the game.

Go cover a game at Nolensville. I know they are not west tn but we had hot food, cold drinks, private bathrooms, and a person to help us with anything that we needed......   It was unbelievable.

It was like 5 to 7 thousand that night wasn’t it 

I don’t know the exact number but it was the most I’d have ever seen it there. Now I haven’t been to a game at Peabody in quite a few years so there may have been a game top that in attendance. I know I wish I was getting a percentage of the gate for this Thursday night :mrgreen:

Do any of the Peabody folks know if fans can bring lawn chairs? I personally pace during games but having somewhere to sit would be nice. There is going to be NO ROOM. 

Also Milan is informing their fans of 3 different ways to purchase tickets in advance. Purchase at Bank of Milan, Peabody High School, or purchase online. 

BPM don’t forget about me...my post got buried quick! Lol I saw you at the game Friday night and was gonna say hey but you were in a deep discussion regarding stadium rebuild. :)

Lol!!  I hear ya. Feel free to interrupt any time. If you can’t tell I’m excited. About stadium upgrades. The kids deserve a facility they can be proud of and it’s loooooong over due.

That’s the biggest crowd I’ve seen at the new field and I have only missed like 10 games since 2012

I watched all of the games last year on the live stream & they talked about how packed out the homecoming game against GC was. I’m not sure how it compares to 2012 Milan & Peabody tho. I will go as far to say that that game is what truly turned the Tide. Cliche I know but it’s true. Peabody went on a run after the 2008 season of very average years & some below average. With the departure of Kent Scott & the arrival of Gaddis, Peabody had something to look forward to & get excited about. I’m not sure how much confidence & faith the Trenton community had in their football team at the time of that upcoming season in 2012 but they soon realized how good their football program could be after they went toe to toe with Bulldogs. Ever since then, Peabody has consistently been a top tier team in their classification. I think a small percentage of that success can be contributed to Milan too. Hear me out on this one... Milan spent quite a few years of bashing Peabody in & everyone that knows about their rivalry knows that Trenton folk knew they were going to take a butt whooping when they had to suit up against Milan. I think after quite a few years of taking some rear end smackings & at best average seasons, the community expressed their angst & the people in charge finally started to realize what was going on. Therefore a change was made & the kids that were a part of that 2012 football team helped propel Peabody football to where they are now. Should be a dandy of a game Thursday night. If it is live streamed again like they were all last year, I’ll be watching.

    • 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.
