helmethead, stick with football, not peoples personal lives. I've got an idea on who you might be, he he :D As for Carter County, I was only talking about the other schools building their football programs to the level of Cloudlands. Maybe if things were more evenly matched at home, somebody from Carter County would win a gold ball. Cloudland has to prepare for state by going against junior high caliber teams. If these other teams would put half the effort that Cloudland does in building their programs, East Tennessee might have a new state champion. Krich, that is not going too far. Everyone always misinterprets my posts. If we could get our 4 county teams on equal playing ground (at the next level) Carter county might have a new state champion. Preparing against poor competition is one of the blames of Cloudland's early exit. :D

We'll see how Cloudland does next year and the year after that. The re-tooling is going to be going on up there just like it does at other schools. Wasn't it you that was complaining about the 'Landers not being dedicated to the weight room enough. People like you make it harder to be a Lander fan, but we won't take it out on the kids. Always a Carter County kid fan, A Dogman.

flossie, to be honest with you it is hard not to misinterpret your posts if your intentions were what you say they were. one minute you're bashing your hometeam for lack of heart and dedication, which i don't think anyone bought. then, you're bashing the other county schools for not providing enough competition, which i KNOW no one bought. so which is it? you can't have it both ways. by the way, i know that carter county provides school buses for away games, so if you want better competition then go get it! unaka and hampton are the only county schools you play, with unaka being the only conference game. that leaves you nine to play with. you wanna play hampton, fine. that's got a great tradition. but you don't have to play them twice like you often have done. now that leaves you eight to play with, so go get you some of whatever it is you want. i assure you that it's out there somewhere.

 

that's my solution to your little problem. but for the record, i still don't buy it. if you want to wait for someone else to help you win a title then go ahead and get comfy cause it will be a long while (never). i'm not saying the other schools won't improve,- they will. i'm saying that titles are about your determination, dedication, heart, and ability, not that of your opponent. it's just not a championship caliber argument, this idea of "it's everybody's fault". i never once heard jim kelly, thurman thomas, or marv levy say that the AFC just didn't provide them with good enough competition when they failed four times in row against four different teams to win it all.

 

sorry if this is a bit long. one last thing. i was not implying that the landers have a losing attitude, or a lacking attitude. in fact i have never heard anything like this from anyone but flossie. i don't want anyone to misunderstand what i'm saying. this is just to him.

    • 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.
