i have never understood why Wrestling ( in most wrestling minded people ) think that there should be one TRUE champion but TSSAA does not do it in any other sport. I feel the the smaller schools are penalized because they are trying to compete against heavily populated schools. it might behoove TSSAA to follow the path of some of the other states . This could help promote some schools to start a program. It is unfair for a school of 300 to compete against a school of 2500. Does not not happen in football, basketball, baseball, track, soccer and track... Just my thoughts.

With all the questions you ask, you must be writing a book. If so, you can put this in it. I have two screen names, Bayoubear and Silverbullet. I seldom use SilverBullet. Veterans of this board know Silverbullet (with the aid of a few people) published in this forum a wrestler ranking 3 or 4 times per year for the last two years. We no longer do it because it takes too much time, it is too controversial and there are other rankings being provided that serve the purpose of recognizing wrestlers and generating debate. I have NO, ZERO, NONE, NADA involvement with any current rankings and have no plans to do so in the future.

 

-I have never said I was for several divisions. If the small schools in Tennessee felt like they wanted to compete in a seperate Small School class, I would be for it.

 

-I favor the Public and Private split. The private schools have certain advantages over public schools academically and athletically.

 

-I am for enlarging the DI State Dual field to 16 schools.

 

-I am not trying to influence the landscape of wrestling. I am only expressing my opinion.

 

 

 

Now you know all I know. If there is anything I haven't covered, you know where I'll be tomorrow night.

    • 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.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
