Alright, it's been a year since the Falcons embarrassed my Tornadoes in the season opener last season. Now it's a new year and new teams both with new coaches. Hmmmmm. Me thinks them Tornadoes want some revenge. I went to the Media Day yesterday and there was one thing on those boys minds. Redemption. They would play tonight if they could. I'm really liking what I am seeing with this group this year. If I could put a word on it....Hangry. That's hungry and angry. First shots been fired. Y'all be sure and bring that stupid donkey

Can’t wait. This isn’t the same Union City team that walked off that field in Memphis at the end of last season. 

Absolutely not Rick. Lean and mean is what I am seeing. Hangry is everywhere. I talked to several of the players yesterday and without fail, they all are wanting to play them green birds. Woooo Hoooo! It's almost football time in Tornado Alley.

I took a few minutes and went to practice today. I laughed a little when Coach Markel told the team that they better not go to the OC Fair. I am starting to really like this guy.

It doesn’t matter to me lol. I didn’t know if they promoted from the Bowling tree or what. 

I know it doesn't matter to you but....it will matter to a lot of people who are on the T. Wasn't trying to be a smart mouth this time anyway. LOL

Markel used to play for Bowling. 

Markell coached with Bowling back in 2009 when we won the title. Yes he was at Munford and ran a triple option there as well. I'm excited to see what will happen this season.

    • 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.
