Really you don't value SOS when evaluating a teams record? I do a lot. Beating high level competition is far more impressive and does much more to prepare teams for post season than feeding them cupcakes every Friday IMO. 

I agree with this.

I don't like the cupcakes either crow, but getting your brains beat in just to have a tuff SOS never made sense to me.....It's about match ups. If you recall, our 2015 team was gonna get destroyed by SW, GCA, AE, and on and on because of our SOS...Didn't happen. And if we'd been healthy, we would have given MC all they wanted and more in the semis.

Well I see your point. Tuner being a prime example of that I'd say. Those are very difficult games they had scheduled. Not to sound negative, but I doubt it was a positive experience but who l knows. I'd rather play a tough game with a chance of winning or barely losing than play someone who you know is gonna beat the brakes off of ya. No gain in that imo.

I agree with that...We have a few of those every year. Have to have unless we want to travel hours to play...We play who we can get. You would not believe the NO's we get when schedule time comes around

I'm not saying schedule alcoa, Maryville, Riverdale and Oakland as my 4 out of region but high level I believe teams perform better in tough games if they have experienced hard fought games already. To the other side of the beat to death scenario we've all saw players get injured in game 1 or against inferior teams a lot. I'm not sure if a team plays clean them being better increases chance of injury that much TBH.

In all honesty, GP was a much improved team over last year. Was it a positive experience you think for the kids? I mean you think they took anything from it?

Yes I would, lol. Not that everyone is afraid of us because they're not. We get the "well it'd be a good game and I'd like to but that's just to far for us to travel to your place. We can do it here both years if ya want though" response a lot lol.

GCA's SOS was brutal the last few years...I didn't see that helping them. I'm not for dodging good programs and we'd LOVE to play more here I assure everyone

If we could play a lil later in the season, I'd love the game to end back up on our schedule

I know our game is a regin game but I can assure you we are better for playing it along with the Upperman and GB games. We know a lot more about our team than if we'd scheduled oakdale, RBS and Pickett county. Not to knock those kids but those are 3 struggling programs right now. We'd likely be 9-0 instead of 6-3 but I can assure you we would not be better off.

GP isn't but 1-1/2 hour from the house...And they weren't world beaters although they beat the world out of us....We went and lost at HV so I'm not sure it helped us too much LOL

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
