I'm hoping a few above me go for broke. Maybe I can gain a couple more spots before the regular season ends. 

Those in the top 10 aren’t there by mistake! I need about 7 people above me to fat finger a pick or forget to pick any Friday Games for me to get into the top 20! :D

Familiar names in the top 10.   It's hard to finish that high up.  It's a sweet balance of skill with a dash of luck.

ST,  I say leave it as it is.  Yeah, I took Pearl Cohn and I believe that everyone that wanted to vote did vote.

I looked at the total overall votes that were cast.  The only game that got more total votes cast was the Anderson County/Gibbs game at 133. The Marshall County/Pearl game had 130 cast.

Everybody that could vote and wanted to vote did vote!!!

Ace,  I'm sorry I made a fuss in the middle of your Big Ones contest party.

Week 8 results:

Thursday: 5-3

Friday: 9-3

Total: 14-6

*Dawgs: 1-0   (Gatlinburg-Pittman**)

Games <8:   1-3 <_<

Placement: 13 (+4)

Games back: 8 (-2)

Analysis:  Not a great week by any stretch of the imagination.  70% pick rate this week wasn't shabby but that's not nearly good enough to reel in @orangecrush as they went 16-4 or @FBGIRL @Swipes , @BigBambinos21 & @rabbitranch the 15-5 group.

I would have liked the Marshall Co/Pearl Cohn* game to have counted,  as Pearl was my other dawg, but that game was moved from Friday to Thursday,  so @CoachT made the right call in removing it from the contest. 

The biggest mover this week of the contest that I noticed was @VolFBRatings who went 18-2 moving up from 51 to 21st place. 

Also it looks like @toinemac our leader early on in this contest must have found some of those nanner peels I left lying about and slipped on one, bumped that noggin' and forgot to make a majority of their picks this week, falling from 6 to 54th. Sorry bout that tony.

** Sorry bout that @pujo.  I didn't root against your boys, I just took a chance in trying to sneak up on you.  

@dogtruth we are side by side now, so, tag, you're it.  ;-)

I've got my sight set on those with 113.  I'm coming for ya!!  Watch out for those nanner peels.  :popcorneater:

Good Luck

I would have liked to have counted the Pearl game too, that was also one of my dogs.

    • 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.
