No offense, it's a widespread thing going on.  Everything has its ups and downs, including good football teams.  I still enjoy the game the same. 

I agree. That is a very good way to look at it especially if your team is down and still blowing folks out lol. I think y’all have a good path ahead to get into November.

Don’t look too much into that score. That was the worst Harriman team I’ve seen in quite some time. Also, they probably had 200+ yards in penalties. Wartburg was much better at not committing penalties tonight even though 1 holding call negated a touchdown. Any good team beats that Harriman team badly and Wartburg had to come from behind down 18-7 to win it late in the 4th.

The impressive thing to me was that they did come back. When was the last time you seen Wartburg come back from down two scores? I’ve been watching for a long time and haven’t seen it in forever it feels like. I’m not saying they are a great team but whatever has changed up there is positive. It’s like they’re slowly being pulled from a deep dark hole. The stadium looks cleaner, grass on the field is better, the players are up beat and play hard. Just a nice change of pace.

It is very nice to see! In the past, the team would've quit when they got down 2 scores. They've definitely taken a step in the right direction. We will see what happens in 2 weeks when they have to go to Oneida.

    • 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.
