Question.... Since 2000 how many road playoff wins does DB have?

This does not seem right to me but maybe it is, can any DB fans authenticate??

This database says they won at Smyrna in 2016 before losing at Maryville in the second round. DB is 2-12 in playoff road games since 2000.

Looks like Bearden lost to Knox West + Alcoa by a combined 7 points.      Then didn't lose again until getting road-graded by Bradley Central, but then again BC has done that a lot this year.                  Going to be tough for the Indians to go into Beardenville tonight and get the W.             But history is certainly on DB's side, so it will be interesting

Teams going on the road in the playoffs tend to be underdogs which means they're most likely going up against a better team. Odds are if you go on the road, you're gonna' lose. This is especially true with first round games. I bet if you looked at results of all other teams you would see something similar with 95% of them.

It'll be interesting to see how this game plays out. I get the sense that some think that Bradley and Bearden are on equal footing above the rest of the teams in this bracket but I don't buy it. I think Bearden is closer to Maryville, Cleveland, and even Farragut than they are to Bradley. I think if the Bulldogs do happen to see the Bears again it'll be because they played lights out to beat D-B and Jeff County next week in Dumplin Valley. I could see this game being closer than most people think. D-B historically has been able to rebound from the Science Hill game better than the Hilltoppers do when it comes to opening round playoff games.

    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
