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

Me to, and I certainly don't think Hampton is dodging anyone. I'm meaning in general, not comparing schedules or even referencing particular schedules. Just an overall opinion.

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. 

Very good point

I know that crow but we get the "you're soft cause your SOS is soft" a lot over the years...And sometimes that's been true, but we were soft regardless of the SOS, if you get my drift

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. 

We were sort of in the same situation as you all.Loudon beat the brakes off of us then we started off the Meigs County game in the first quarter playing the same way we did against Loudon then the kids started coming around and by the second half we were playing pretty good football but that came from playing to really good programs.I don't think we'd be where we're at right now if we'd started off with a couple of pushovers

Yeah, I'm not saying SOS will make an average team great, I do think it can be the difference sometimes between grinding out a tough win and not. Said it earlier, I honestly don't think we beat rockwood without the GB, os and upperman game (hadn't played Meigs at that point)

I wish we'd gotten one of those off nights you're talking about. Imagine how good y'all would be now if we'd beat you to! :roflolk:

We had 5-A David Crockett on the schedule in '17 & '18....Played em close in '17 and got killed in '18. Went to Rockwood and got slammed (OnB was there)

My point is, you either got "it" or you don't....SOS doesn't make a difference if you don't

This is a good point too.

The beat down from Crockett did nothing to help us last year...Would have been more beneficial for us had teams like 4-A Sull East and others not refused to schedule us....We pick those games back up, with Johnson Co and Unicoi (when they're decent) and we'd be tested enuf for post season most years

You know the game I like to see on the schedule for Hampton and it would really help both teams.

    • 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.
