Don’t let The Goons hear you call the Black Hole Shields-Watkins lol They are dying for us to play them at Neyland. The field is actually named Jim Renfro Field. 

I tried to type Skeeter Shields field, guess auto correct got me when I wasn't paying attention...

I like the idea of playing at UT, but not 2 Blount county teams. Murvil should play the next up and coming Knoxville team at neyland. Fulton got anything this yr? That might bring a Knox crowd! Or maybe Powell next yr? Both teams should be lights out in 2021.

I’d love a game with Pal at Neyland.

Never happen. The costs in $ to play at Neyland are way too high. MHS won't absorb those costs and neither will UT. Burning those lights and security are cost prohibited.

That makes sense but still sux. It would be a memory of a lifetime for a lot of kids on both teams. I guess we got to make enough $ to power the jumbo and water the grass (so to speak). Pal might be a good pickup next yr.

A 2 p.m. game on Saturday would save on the light bill. My only negative would be the cost of 2 hot dogs would be more than an admission ticket and someone selling parking for tickets for who knows what. Might draw more outsiders but it would lose a lot of real Maryville and Alcoa fans that would go if it were in town. If I paid $13 for a can of beer I would have to drink it through a coffee straw or I would leave there a very poor man.

Agree Barn. It makes no sense to me for murvil/alco to move their very successful event to Knoxville. However, if there was a big game against the next great Knoxville team, more Knox fans might show up vs driving to Mayberry. 
it don’t matter. It’s kinda like the IFL. Murvils program is doing fine, and don’t really need fixed. I maintain the kids would enjoy it.

    • 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.
