Who are the outsiders? Serious question, not chirping, i have been covering this team the last 10 years or so and i have not seen this group of outsiders that i hear about alot in Winchester, i am genuinely curious!

I don't want to derail the thread here but why do you think Franklin Co is still struggling? Do you think with the new coach that things will improve quickly? Seems in today's day and age the leash tends to get short quickly. 

I can't remember all of the deals/details but, seems that maybe the administration was ear bended by people in the community over there. But, that was all hearsay. People over there in Winchester may be able to chime in.

Not really.  I still think it’s 11 kids on 11 kids.  2 years ago not many people thought Tullahoma would beat Pearl Cohn ,twice.   The Haywood county folks felt really good about their chances with the cats.   And Betsy after taking care of business with Greenville knew they were getting a state championship.  But in the end 11 kids showed up and got it done.   A good quarterback helps but lots of teams win without one.  This isn’t 2021 and the stars won’t align for Tullahoma like they did 2 years ago.  And after the fiasco at Shelbyville last week I have to concede this one to the Knights regardless of who takes the snaps.   I hate to see it end for a team that showed moments of greatness this season.  The second half of the Rockvale game was one we will all remember.  But the consistency to get past this Friday I’m afraid is long lost.

You are talking about the McCurry that was at FC for 4 years and never had a winning season or made the playoffs?

FC got McCurry after the Marion Co fiasco and he was never the same. Yeah Mac did some asinine things at time but it's not like he was a flash in the pan type coach with only one group of kids. He had 9 region titles at Moore along with a trip to the state title game where his team lost by a 2pt conversion falling a yard short. He then went on to have 3 region titles at Marshall Co. He also had success in Mississippi before coming back to TN. Franklin Co was his only stop in TN where he had a losing record. I'm not trying to condone some of the craziness that took place but the guy's overall record speaks for itself. (212-87) Most coaches don't have a lifetime winning percentage of 71% (and the Franklin Co years brought that down) so I could see why the Rebels gave him a shot. 

Now back on topic, I think either QB for Nolensville will be fine. The bigger question is can Tullahoma generate any offense against the Knights' defense.

I like Tullahoma's chances, especially if Sylvester plays QB for the Knights. The Wildcat defense has feasted on turnovers all season. 

No doubt Tullahoma's defense will generate some chaos and turnovers for the Knights. Really boils down to what the TulCats' offense can do with those turnovers and opportunities. 

On another note, looks like great weather for football tonight. Have a good broadcast. :thumb:

He did really well in small school FB and better players than other small school teams.  He didn't have to play anyone in the late 80s or 90s in small school football

    • 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.
