Good grief, the testosterone is smothering me. I enjoy a good bantering, discussion & meeting others thru Coach T but lately it is just useless nonsense. No disrespect to Alcoa but, I would rather eat shards of glass than hear about their enrollment one more time :roll: Can you guys please find something else to talk about? Does anyone have anything useful to say about the game this thread was created for? Momma’s getting testy. 

Same. I don’t care if Alcoa recruits their entire team. We are playing Sequatchie ‘this Friday night and that’s the only team that matters this week. Who are the playmakers? What are their strengths and weaknesses?  It’s late in the season, any significant losses due to injuries?  The Bees have had some season-ending injuries that have had a big impact but have had younger kids step up and fill in the gaps.

Bees return a good player this week that has been out all season on the line. That should help with the injuries. Dunlaps hopes are very slim. But they always play tough in the valley. Upperman wont see a quality opponent this week or next.

Sounds to me like some of the Alcoa folk are a little bit too concerned with what UHS is doing. Could it be the Bees gave the Tornadoes more of a fight than any other 3A team last year and have a better defense this year? Someone sounds a little bit concerned, if you ask me.

Not even close!! Covington was the Real Deal, much like I expect Pearl Cohn will be this year. Honey Bees where never a threat last year.

You trolls cant stay on the Alcoa threads? I never thought you to be the trolling type hammer....But i guess it runs deep in Alcoa...Barely beat upperman last year. The coaches werent prepared for Alcoa in 2013... I would say the U is adapting well...And gave them a heckuva ball game last year with home GROWN talent...Something you bums have to bus to your low class operation. Obviously your scared you show up like a bunch of #### roaches on every upperman thread....I rarely read the Alcoa ones...must fascinate you what a small town team does without recruiting. 

LOL. Don't think most would consider me a troll. The only think "trollish" I posted was a funny word play on the word BUMS, which you called us.  I like Upperman, I like the upper Cumberland and as I stated before, I spent some of the best years of my life in Putnam County and still have lots of friends there.

But come on man, you can't get defensive or mad when you insult a group of people with name calling and they have a little fun turning the name you called them into something humorous.

I read some of the Upperman threads because of connections I have with the area and some of the folks.  Not because I'm scared of anything, merely interested.

Enjoyed the semifinal trip to Sequatchie a few years ago. The crowd was really into the game and the atmosphere was great!  Seq being the home team helps them a little bit but The Bees getting their coach was a huge step for Upperman.

I look for Upperman to build a solid program over the next few years and probably be the annual favorite in their region as long as the HC is there.

Not seen enough of Sequatchie the last two years to make a sound prediction, but my thoughts are Bees have advantage in Coaching and QB play while Sequatchie has home field and possible intangible of Bees looking past them.

    • 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.
