We tried to tell him.LOL.

Nice work finding a bracket.

I was more curious of how it looked in regards of the teams back then as compared to now.  I loved the idea of only two teams from each region and then you had your bowl games.  I would suggest to the TSSAA to bring back bowl games for some of those 5-5 teams 6-4 that may not make the playoffs in today's set up.  

I would much rather go watch two 5-5 teams in a bowl game rather a 2-8 4th seed playing a 10-0 one seed.

I recall 1995 when the final 4 in I believe 2A was Lewis County, Loretto, David Lipscomb, and another Nashville team (I want to say Goodpasture but that doesnt sound right). There was a ton of talk coming out of Nashville that the southern middle Tennessee schools couldnt play with the city boys. I do not remember who won both games, but I do recall both games being extremely close and those city schools knew that they had been in a fight for sure.

I was fortunate to play for Coach Toner a long time ago. I was a waterboy for the 2 teams mentioned but know that the playoffs hadn't expanded yet and region losses were huge. I was on the field for the 1995 team and we lost to David Lipscomb in a battle that was much tougher for them than the rest of the road. We had a pretty good team the next season also. LOL. Lots of hard work but fun times I wouldn't change for much of anything!!

    • 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.
