I expected this one to be going by now. Indians start the 100th season of football in the Stone Castle Friday night. 

I hope to see the game. TN High is not really onboard with selling tickets, or letting anyone know how to purchase tickets. Supposed to have link to purchase tickets on-line (ONLY) No tix to be sold Friday at game.

DB has most every skill position filled with veteran starters. Offense will be strong. Big line, veteran QB & RB's & WR's. Defense will be very strong even though graduating 2 top LB's. D has 6 DB's returning from a very good defensive backfield last year. Biggest challenge is finding a Kicker/Punter.

I will call a road win to start the season.

Sounds like a very solid DB team this year.Kickers and punters are game changers when everything else is fairly equal.Beating an average team by 30 points when your team missed an extra point  and had  a 10 yard punt might not get you beat that night . Against a second or third round team with field position or a game winning field goal at stake could make for a different outcome. I'm sure someone will step into those shoes if all goes well and this cloud hanging over will just move on and let the sun shine through.

No question in my mind that the Castle is a place everyone should visit atleast once to watch a football game or just to see the history and old beauty of the Stone Castle.The hardest rain that I ever sat in for a high school game was a DB vs TH game several years ago in the Castle. The coldest was a playoff game between DB and SH in JC. Both were also big wins for the home teams.Maybe it will be clear for this one ! Although I'd love to come on up after getting my ticket tomorrow online,I'll step to the side and give every parent and family member for both sides players,band and cheerleaders an equal chance to watch their sons and daughters perform.That's  something they will cherish for the rest of their lives. Oh ,the parents and family members will also enjoy being there .......

Maybe this link will work https://gofan.co/app/school/TN8201

Purchased two tickets online when the link went live.  Southwest Virginia has used GoFan for years for pre-sale tickets and it works well... except for the one time that I was in an area with no cell signal and couldn't show them my tickets!  Lol.  Luckily they let me in without paying anything extra, and good thing as it was a state quarterfinal girls basketball game.

Got our tickets. Good chance of thunderstorms though. Hope we get to see our grandson get some late PT before we head back home to Florida on Sunday. Wonder how many tickets they set the cap at?

D-B Twitter account said 250 were allotted for each school I believe as far as the general public.  I think parents and students are not part of that 250 though, cause surely they're going to allow more than 500 fans in the stadium?

I see you over on the SWVA board too man, would be great to say hello Friday night if you have time.  :)

Absolutely! We may end up standing in the end zone if they allow that because we left our seat cushions in Florida. Looks like there's a good chance for rain and thunderstorms too. Par for the course for opening night.

I got 6 tickets and most everybody that I have talked to has tickets (4-8 each). I expect there will 1,000 or more in the stadium. I don't think it rains, but if it does, it will not stop the Indian fans from coming out in mass to support this team. It has been a long time coming. 

DB Defense is looking really good and the O-Line is as good as you could ask for.

    • 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.
