Achieving Legend Status

What does it take to be a true living legend like myself? My once proud alma mater at Marion County High School is where I became a legend myself. It was a long time ago, but the dividends from that experience can be seen all over the Sequatchie Valley today. I played for a living legend coach and in turn became a living legend myself. We will need to do a better job moving forward on awarding legend status for the young lads that lay it on the line each Friday night in the Sequatchie Valley, but also the state as a whole. Many young lads can achieve legend status if they have the right backing behind them. In saying that, I will be putting a committee together to accomplish this goal going into the 2021 season. My speaking engagements will be back in full swing during the fall seasons so I am going to appoint a representative from the west, middle, and east quadrants of the state. As always anytime, I visit you people's stadium I will have my police escort that will get me to and from the home team's press box. Remember that the press box will always need to be 72 degrees and not one degree warmer or cooler, regardless of the time of the season. The representatives I mentioned previously will report back to me on which young lads we should be looking at to achieve legend status. It will be good for several of them to be able to be around me at various locations to simply breathe some of the same air a legend like myself emits. Once the Covid season is under control you will see more of the one true living legend. In the eastern half of the state I will be appointing @pujo to report back to me and keep me up to date on any young lads or living legend coaches walking the sidelines. Pujo has been a staple in eastern Tennessee football for quite some time. I can't think of a better advocate for the living legend other than him. Pujo has indeed breathed some of the same air a legend like myself emits on more than one occasion. It is no coincidence that he understands exactly what we are looking for in young lads and living legend coaches. The middle half of the state will be @Southtowner. He will be responsible for keeping me informed on the possibilities of young lads achieving legend status. Southtowner travels around the mid state and although he has never met a living legend like myself, he seems very well informed in the mid state. The west half of the state will be assigned to @BIGPURPLEMACHINE He seems to be well informed of the happenings and the young lads in west Tennessee. He will report directly to me during the upcoming season to assure that we get all young lads the legend status they want, desire, and in some cases deserve. Simply breathing some of the same air a legend like myself emits will pay immediate dividends to this young lad in much the same way it had an effect on Pujo many moons ago.  It is simply an honor that can be earned and bestowed upon a young lad by countless hours of dedication. A true living legend like myself will be the only one to award the legend status. All young lads should always remember that achieving legend status is a choice.

Sure hated to see a great, great fried and great athlete at MC pass away in Randy Carson,Who was a True Warrior and although I am a True Pirate, we had a great friendship . We liked to talk about ball, but understood that ball was ball and friendships were sacred. I sure am going to miss him. Also hated to see his Dad die the next day. So sorry family for your grief. Randy was  true living legend for sure at MC!! Rest in peace my friend!!!

That was tough. I'm very close to that family and it was a devastating 24 hrs for them losing 3 members in a short amount of time. Randy was as good of a person you could ever meet.

    • 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.
