I feel like metro will start on September 25 no later than October 2. I have no inside info just a feeling I have. With coaches drawing up a plan and the parents/media applying pressure, it'll happen for metro kids.

I've followed your posts for a number of years, and always found them solid in terms of both football insight and an understanding of "this is how things are" factor. Do you see any enhanced risk because the metro teams haven't hit anybody "in anger" in almost a year, and unless they play another metro team, they'll be playing teams that are literally in mid-season form?

I can't speak for everyone else, but I know PC is ready to play right now. Our kids been working extra hard for months, including our coaches. Plus for us if metro does have a season our first game will probably be against another metro team. I appreciate it, I only try to speak on situations that I know of.

metro should make a decision for the kids. as much as it will hurt to not play I think they deserve an answer. these kids have been practicing to play since early july. delaying the start of school until october 12 instead of day after labor day pretty much says it all. metro's answer to difficult decisions is to do nothing until it is to late.

It’s unconscionable what Metro has put the players and coaches through. If they have no intentions of letting them play, which seems the case, they should say it and let them move on. 

Metro athletes are being used as political pawns and its unconscionable and disgraceful. News 2 just did a story on the players. Long overdue.

Right. My son plays football at Lindsey Wilson and the NAIA came out and moved the season to spring the coach just has them doing workouts and conditioning, not hitting or practicing. I know college and high school is a bit different, but for the kids sake they should just let them know and not play the string  with them. One thing Covid has shown is officials will milk out anything they can and be totally unfair to the ones involved

    • 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.
