I got nothing against Dilfer, but he comes off a little too much like Hugh Freeze for my liking. 

He does deserve some credit doing what he did at LA and maybe he did give TNHSFB some publicity, but not sad to see him gone. His road to a title was pretty easy, CPA was the only real competition they had 

If I was a UAB fan, I'd rather be good than interesting. They had a pretty good amount of success under the previous coach

I get your points, although I am not sure getting past CPA once much less twice in a season is ever easy, as oakland can attest.  : ).  they have been able to beat anyone in the state for the last few years.  I was as nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs playing them twice!

Well you just gotta get past them once. Not saying they couldn't win state in AAA those years but it definitely would have been more interesting. Don't think anyone gets much enjoyment out of playing CPA, they're big, physical and play smart

not a fan huh?  : )

 deion is cocky because he was the best.  dilfer has a chip on his shoulder because everyone underestimated him.  it's an important distinction I think.  can you imagine being a super bowl MVP and getting canned the next year?  I think that would sting for a while. 

love or hate dilfer, he took LA football from doormat to 2 gold balls in 4 years.  not sure anyone else has done that.  he also had a TN football team back in the news on a broader scale which I think it good for TN football.  when is the last time TN had a team ranked in the top 15 (that's an honest question because I don't know)?  he has plenty of faults but he deserves some credit for that.

you might be right but I think if nothing else, he will make UAB football more interesting than It's been for a while. 

Kevin Creasy has done more for TN football.

Never met a UAB fan personally. Rarely met anyone who roots for a non Power Five team, especially in SEC states.

My son is playing at Rhodes. It is a fun rivalry we have with Sewanee. Talk about some history.

Southwestern, southwestern, the school by the zoo, where the boy are boys and…

That does not sound right with the name change :) 

My brother played for Sewanne in the early eighties.  They were pretty good for the pond they played in under Coach Moore.

I am growing to love some small college football. I know it is not big time college sports, but there are some serious athletes on those fields every Saturday. Some of the atmospheres are pretty cool, too. I know it doesn't beat going to an SEC stadium but you can hear every hit and are just as close to the action as you would be on Friday nights.

    • 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.
    • 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.
