HA. MAXPRUPS....CLASSIC.  :lol:

Alcoa would love to increase its schedule strength. They play top 6A and 5A teams in their out of region games and have for years. They tried to get Farragut, Oak Ridge, Greeneville, Elizabethton, Anderson Co. just to name a few on the schedule last year. Had Blackman and DB on the schedule the last couple of years, but they did not what to re-new.

that SOS for lipscomb is a joke.  they have hands down the best win in the state over thompson, alabama.  massey has them with the hardest schedule and alcoa's at 32nd.

thanks for all the replies.  I get where you are coming from.  lipscomb had 3 contracts broken after last season.  however, signing up for the jamborees is a good way to get better opponents.  lipscomb got thompson and milton that way.  

 

Had this same kind of discussion last year with someone from LA. I suggested he/she have their AD call AHS and request a two year deal. We’ve had some great games in the past with LA. As of now, I am not aware of the AD making any requests…Have a great night! :thumb:

One BIG win on your schedule isn’t going to get you to the number one strength of schedule. Div ll at the AA level as a whole does not have enough to maintain a top SOS, imo. I would say Alcoa at 32 is comical. Therefore, Massey seems like a joke with no credibility of ranking strength of schedules…

That was one of my favorite games. No one gave Alcoa a chance to beat Lipscomb on their own field. Standing on the field and looking at that stunned home crowd after Alcoa won was Classic.:thumb:

Well the game is tonight and havent seen many predictions. 

Ill Go Alcoa 35-14. If West can keep it close at half then it could get interesting. I would not be surprised to see a similar result as when West played Powell last year with the tv guys clowning West every chance they get. Hoping my Rebels will prove otherwise.

 

Go Rebels!

I'll go Alcoa, but much, much closer!

I always have faith in them but i just like to get the conversation started...but thats not to say they havent disappointed me in the past either.

 

Last year Alcoa fans claimed the only reason West was in that game was bc of knox county refs...now is our return trip to Alcoa and based on that theory West should have lost badly then and will do so.

Also Blount County hasnt been too kind to West as of late as they lost 35-7 to Maryville last year and havent beaten any of the blount county teams at there place since 2013!

I understand where you are coming from now

    • 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.
