Pikeville College Football

[panthermania]

What do you all think about the New coach and style of the Pikeville College Bears...How far do you forsee the Bears going this year? I, myself, love their offensive scheme...run em' and gun em' baby!

[BurntTires]

Did Pikeville sign Matt Maynard (RB for Belfry last year) to play Football.

[BlackcatAlum]

I think they did BT ! And I think this team will be good getting back into the Playoffs this season !

[Moose Nuck]

The bears have a rough schedule this season. They open against George Mason (1AA...the same GM that played in the final four from what I heard)....a team from Ark., then go back to St. Francis to play the #2 team in the nation. Also, they have their conference schedule with Georgetown, Cumberlands, and Campbellsville. Any team can win on a given Saturday....but I don't look for the Bears to make it back....I hope they do since I'll be at about every game....Pikeville returns for camp this Sunday, hopefully they can get their new offense clicking early and roll through their schedule.

[Sports Fanatic]

I know P-ville got in the hunt late but how many kids did they recruit and who were they; esp those from Eastern Ky.

[thetribe]

I'm not sure the names of new players but they are MANY, MANY new faces on the teams. I will ask around within the week and find out which ones are from this area. I talked to Don Paul Branham today and he said that they are looking good so far and the season should look good as well so we will see.

[Warriors23RJ]

I think Jamerson will probabily have a big season, he had some good games last season and Doug Howard could have his breakout season this year, two good local players.

[BC75]

I think Jamerson will probabily have a big season, he had some good games last season and Doug Howard could have his breakout season this year, two good local players.

Jamerson has left the bears. The second semester of this year he will be transfering to EKU to finish out his education.

[PC_U_KNOW_98]

Pikeville has 94 players (somewhere in that area) on the football team, 28 of them I believe are returning players. Word is 25-30 of the NEW players are ineligibile. Not much local talent left on the roster, I think like 13 EKY players.

And yes, Jamerson is no longer at Pikeville College, Josh and Paul Sullivan aren't playing (Josh is going to either Morehead or EKU for his education), I don't go to Pikeville anymore, Josh Hundley (started center last year for the Bears, from Whitley) was ruled ineligible, Nathan Moore is rumored to be out for a while with a hernia.

I don't see the Bears getting very much fun support from the local communities but that's not cause they didn't try. I know the new coaching staff offered ALOT of EKY boys scholarships but none wanted to play there. I wish them the best of luck, I will still go and watch my buddies play at home.

[BC75]

PC how come your not playing?

[Warriors23RJ]

Really, thanks for the news I wasn't aware of that.

Are any of you guys going to try and continue playing football somewhere else or just try and focus on academics??

[PC_U_KNOW_98]

I'm not going back to school period, college just wasn't for me. I know Nick, Josh and Paul are just going to school to focus on education, IDK about Josh Hundley, haven't talked to him since school let out. Nate will be back soon, he just has to wait for this hernia to go away or whatever, his brother told me today he thought he might have to have surgery, IDK.

[PC_U_KNOW_98]

PC how come your not playing?

I hate school man. Football was the only reason I quit working and went back to school, but I'm not going pro so there was no point in waisting money. Not only that Blackcat, after I totalled my Jeep at the beginning of April and missed all that school before finals I ended up failing all 4 of my classes.

[Moose Nuck]

Have heard that the secondary and linebacker position is looking questionable and shakey at times. The def. line is performing well as expected, which is anchored in part by Paintsville's Ryan Brown. The offense has got the hang of the offense early in the season and have dominated most of the scrimmage time in practice. Jake Hundley from Breathitt Co. is out with a heart condition but will be allowed to return on Aug. 16....I look for him to get the starting nod, great arm and he's a big boy too. Jamerson will be at Pikeville this fall, I spoke to his family and they said he will go there this fall but will more than likely transfer out after this semester. He was a great addition last season, and will be missed. There are some starters from last season that were thought to be eligible but are having difficulty, best of luck to them so they can return to the team and practice. Good luck bears....season starts Sept. 2 at home against George Mason (who is indeed a club team, but have some talent)....will be interesting this season.

[TheBrahmaBull]

Pikeville will play hard, but will not challange for the Conference title IMO.

[t-cat50]

isn't Derick timberlake from russel playing for them.

[M.V.P.]

i think Pikeville will have a good season this year. they seem to have a strong offense and they have got alot of talented incoming players that seem to be very experienced and focused.


GO BEARS:Cheerlead

[Moose Nuck]

A lot of the talent they brought in this season are ineligible for some reason or another. However, they have recently lost several starters from last seasons defense due to academic reasons. The secondary has to improve for the Bears or it won't be pretty. Good luck to the team and all the local kids playing this season.

[TheBrahmaBull]

It does no good to recruit good players if they are not going to be eligable to play. A player should be looked at for his/her academics as well as his his/her athletic skill, it speaks for his/her character.

[I was the greatest]

nathan moore is out with a hernia and will probably take a medical redshirt...or so a little bird told me...

[THUNDERCHILD]

Hope they do well, you have to keep in mind they are still, a young program.

[rainout]

I wish the bears all the luck in the world but look for them to struggle. Conference is loaded! But it'll take coach bryan a cpl of yrs to get his players, and offense going. They will be fun to watch I promise u that.

[Moose Nuck]

Pikeville looked shakey at times today. I look for English to turn the starting QB spot over to Brethitt Co.'s Jacob Hundley. He was very impressive today and the team just seemed to gel a lot better when he was in the game....the Bears won 40-30 by the way

[PLAYBOY5]

Hundley looked the best by far!!! Needs to drop some pounds!!

[centralgurl79]

Frankly I think that Pikeville college is doing great... i went to the game last week and they played excellent... my boyfriend plays for that team and he says that the pratices are intense... but i think that their gonna be good this weekend and the whole year.:Cheerlead

[JARYDCRUMS#1FAN]

Is Nathan moore still playin for pikeville? If so hes a dominant threat and last i heard he was praticin in the saftey postion buts its been a yr ago

[t-cat50]

pikeville is looking at a few boys from our school.

[Old school Dawg]

Go Pikeville!!1

Nathan's not playing anymore.

[PC_U_KNOW_98]

Pikeville got hammered 63-0 at St.Francis yesterday.

[BC75]

Heard they had a big game in about two weeks? You know anything about it PC98??? lol

No idea man, I don't have a schedule handy to look at. Could it be Union :thumpsup: .

I know they play at Shorter on the 8th of October.

[PC_U_KNOW_98]

From the looks of it, the Bears might not win a game. As bad as I hate to say it considerin I got a whole bunch of buddies playin, it just doesn't look too good as of right now.

I am gonna make an early prediction about the conference. Shorter College in only it's second year of having a football program, will win the conference. And yes that means they will beat Georgetown and everyone else in the conference if they keep playing the way they have these first few games, they knocked off Univ. of Cumberlands yesterday fairly easy.

When you say Shorter College, who are you talking about? Because if they have to be in Georgetown's conference, they have to be in Unions, and I don't see them on our schedule.

[Moose Nuck]

Shorter College is a rather new school, they just started their program I think 2 years ago. They are out of Rome GA, they are 4-0 on the season and just manhandled University of the Cumberlands yesterday at Cumberland.

This is Shorters second season having a football team, last year was their first and was pretty impressive. BC75, Shorter is in the same division, but they split their games between the two. They played UC this past week, they play Campbellsville, Pikeville and UVA Wise, then they are playing Lambuth, Bethel and someone else. They don't play G-Town this year so disregaurd my comment about that. IDK what the deal is, I know they were in Pikeville's last year.

I asked someone about this today and someone said they went into the other mid south conference this year and we picked up west virgina tech to replace them or something like that.

That sounds right to me, IDK why a team from Georgia would be in the North division anyways, lol. They should still win the South division though.

Didn't Bethel win the South last year.

IDK I'd say.

There is no North and South divisions...they are West and East.

Hmm, that's kinda wierd, you would think that it would be North and South. Thanks for the correction fox sports.

[millertime]

i heard that the new head coach ,didnt want Howard this year

[Moose Nuck]

i heard that the new head coach ,didnt want Howard this year

Wouldn't suprise me none, he really doesn't care too much about the local talent just like every other coach up there. Howard had to sit last year due to a back injury, but the first couple of games up there he played solid.

[gish]

i heard that the new head coach ,didnt want Howard this year

Not true....

[Old Timer]

i heard that the new head coach ,didnt want Howard this yearThis is untrue.
I talked to the coach myself, He wanted Doug Howard Very Badly.
Doug Howard would have been the premiere back for Coach Bryan.

[BC75]

Shew I'm glad they don't have him. lol

[Mr. Right]

This is untrue.
I talked to the coach myself, He wanted Doug Howard Very Badly.
Doug Howard would have been the premiere back for Coach Bryan.

I spoke with Doug's father, Doug Sr., and Mr. Howard told me that Coach Bryan called their house and talked to both Doug and himself.

Mr. Howard asked Coach Bryan if Doug could have the same financial liberties he had as a freshman and Coach Bryan told him he would get back to him on that. A couple of weeks later he called back and told Mr. Howard that Doug Howard Jr. wouldn't receive even half of what he got as a freshman.

Needless to say they told Coach Bryan to take a hike, and Coach Bryan told you a lie.

[millertime]

Not true....

doug said "that the coach ,didnt want to give him that much money for school"

Then that is ridiculous. Why waste money on kids who are nowhere near as good as Doug who won't even make it 2 semesters. That's the problem up there, they give these out of state boys all this money that turns out to be a waste of time and money.

I'm starting to feel like the administration at PC is to blame.

The football coaches they hire choose to do nothing but recruit, or give scholarships to players whose eligibility has run out elsewhere. Or their grades have faltered at a bigger school.

And it seems all of them are from S.C. Now, I'm no Rocker Scientist, but lets do some math. South Carolina is much more populated than Kentcuky, and I'd be willing to bet they have more NAIA schools competing in football. Now, why in the **** would these kids be coming to school in EKY if they were good enough to play at even the same level in S.C.?

Either they are trouble, or they aren't that good anyway.

Let me get to the point.......Pikeville College would have about the same record they have had since their existence if they just recruited in a 100 mile radius. Point blank, bottom line. And the sad part is, if they do this they would have a much better fan base, the school would make more money, and I wouldn't have to read about bozos from S.C. getting second and third offense arrests.

I could care less about Pikeville College, their past & former coaches, and those that hired the coaches. Until they get somebody in there with common sense to go with football knowledge they will continue to be a less than a mediocre program.

Why not Hillard Howard, Jim Matney or Mike Holcomb??? There are so many great high school coaches in the area that could do so much better IMO. If Pikeville recruited within a 100 mile radius they would be just as good, I agree Mr.Right. Look at last year and this year, the best reciever on the team both years is from EKY. Nick Jamerson (Pburg) last year and Justin Lamb (Breathitt County) this year, not to mention Lamb had a better season than the "thugs" last year too. The O-line was mostly EKY boys, Jesse Peck (JC), Brad Allen (Breathitt County), Josh Hundley (Whitley County), Ryan Jarrell (Paintsville). Brad Allen is the ONLY EKY boy on the O-line this year. Matt Brown (Paintsville) and Nathan Moore (Sheldon Clark) both started at LB. Josh Cullop (Belfry) got ALOT of playing time at DL, Matt Slone (Grundy) started DE. Now Pikeville has Ryan Brown (Paintsville) starting DL, Jake Hundley (Breathitt County) starting QB, (tore ACL or MCL thsi past weekend). Pikeville could have a solid program with players in a 100 mile radius.

[Moose Nuck]

If Pikeville would just keep a promise about money to many of the local boys I'm sure a lot of them would've stayed. They do give it to the bozos from out of state, and I'm not trying to be racist by any means, but a lot of the coaches up there think that only black players can rule the roost. EKY has just as good athletes for this level as any part of NC or SC or wherever the Suge Knights come from. The mountain boys is why the program was established, other than their innagural year, they have faded away from that.

[millertime]

Change the name to "The Pikeville Thugs" what is this years record??

[Redneck]

Change the name to "The Pikeville Thugs" what is this years record??

0-4

Got beat by Henderson State by a few TD's, St. Francis beat them 63-0, Campbellsville beat them by 10, and Union beat them this past weekend. Things aren't looking much better this coming weekend when they travel to Univ. of Cumberlands.

[millertime]

You can recruit around here for QB's and Lineman. But there is no speed around here like there is in SC, Georgia, and Florida. Coach Bryan's offense is a throwing offense, not a wishbone where you can use 4.8 forty, strong kids. You need guys that can run. Name me 10 guys here in eastern kentucky (receivers) that can run a LEGIT 4.7 forty. Not many. I have said this before. Eastern Kentucky boys do get recruited but they don't stay because they see they will not get to play as much as they did in high school. If you want to play college football you may have to pay for some of your school and redshirt a year, as does most of the kids at Pikeville College, and I know Georgetown College. So you guys can sit on here and complain all you want about how they need to recruit just Eastern Kentucky, but the truth is they do, the kids just don't make it. I played college ball and coached it, and trust me money has to be distributed throughout the team in NAIA cause you aren't given enough full scholarships. That is why I am still paying back loans that I owe.

[IRISH4]

I've heard that the new coach brought in a bunch of kids he coached last season and apparently gave a bunch of them quite a bit of scholarship money...a lot of the kids are ineligible. So why give money to ineligible kids? It's just taking away from other kids that you know will get to class and make the grade. Pikeville has been natorious for recruiting kids and they are there one semester because they treat it as if it's a big party and flunk out. I have also heard that the last coach cut a bunch of kids money to give it to one player that no one else in the conference wanted to fool with. I may not be the smartest person in the world but it sounds to me that they are recruiting all wrong. There is plenty of talent within a 100 mile radius of Pikeville to put up a competitive team year in and year out. Look at Georgetown, Campbellsville, Cumberland...they all recruit kids in a local proximity. They do pretty good too, but why can't Pikeville???? Just blows my mind with some of the stuff I've heard.

I agree that there aren't many players around here that run a 4.7 forty, BUT look who Pikeville's BEST reciever is, Justin Lamb from Breathitt County. He is nowhere near as fast as the other recievers nor does he have the agility as the others but he gets open and he catches the ball. That is Pikeville's biggest problem in the recieving corps, none of them can catch a cold but Lamb. Last year Nick Jamerson from Prestonsburg was the best reciever and they hardly ever threw him the ball, but when they did he made big plays out of it. He took 2 screen passes for 60+ yard TD's in one game, he left about 10 jocks laying on the ground. It's not that the EKY boys aren't good enough to play, most of the time it's because they don't get a chance.

Agreed. Last years QB, from the games I saw, looked directly at the receiver he was going to throw to after the ball was snapped. What does that mean? He already had his mind made up on who was getting the ball regardless of the defensive coverage. That's why he had around 15 interceptions for the season and they didn't win games against Cumberlands and Georgetown.

At the college level the talent around here for RB is way above QB.

BTW.....You go 0-4 with the so-called fast, thug athletes from South Carolina and I'd go at least 2-2 with slow, corn-bred fed country boys from the 100 mile raidus.

That's about all I care to say on the matter, except I would like to know where you played and coached. Please don't tell me Pikeville. Anybody could coach there. As a matter of fact, most of the thugs who play there end up coaching because they are too sorry to work. So anyone could land that gig.

I'm not knocking the QBs around here at all, I'm just saying there have probably been more NAIA level RBs around here than QBs.

[crazytaxidriver]

a really good qb and reciever are hard to come by in eastern ky. mainly because of speed. But most college qb's are well over 6'0. and you don't see very many plaryers around here over 6'0, and if they are they usually make it to a lineman pos.

[Redneck]

I for one was SHOCKED to learn that Pikeville beat Shorter AT Shorter yesterday in 3 OT's 27-24. Shorter is pretty solid, they beat the Cumberlands a couple of weeks ago. Congrats Bears on the victory, maybe that was the turnaround you needed to get rolling, IDK, I guess we will fing out this Saturday. I believe they play Cumberland University (Tenn) who they barely beat last year in OT at CU. I believe it's Homecoming week also in Pikeville.

is georgetown any good this year?

They got thumped by the defending MSC West champion Bethel this past Saturday like 49-21.

At the college level the talent around here for RB is way above QB.

BTW.....You go 0-4 with the so-called fast, thug athletes from South Carolina and I'd go at least 2-2 with slow, corn-bred fed country boys from the 100 mile raidus.

That's about all I care to say on the matter, except I would like to know where you played and coached. Please don't tell me Pikeville. Anybody could coach there. As a matter of fact, most of the thugs who play there end up coaching because they are too sorry to work. So anyone could land that gig.

Maybe you should start a team with slow, corn fed boys. You won't go 2 - 2, I promise you that. Not in the mid-south anyway. I will say this one more time and that's it. Eastern Kentucky kids are recruited, they just don't stay. Ex. Jamerson, Howard, Sullivans, Moore, the big tackle that played with Cullop from Belfry, the d-end who got defensive player of the year from Belfry. Bottom line is the coaching staff gets paid to win games, not to please you guys on here who think you know what is going on when you don't

They don't stay because coaches lie to them about the financial situations, or even worse, they give them a decent offer until they enroll and then take it away.

But lets talk about wins and losses. Pikeville **** sure isn't winning with the thugs they have on the team now, are they?

As Mr. Right said the kids are flat out lied to, and who in their right mind would want to be associated with the stuff that goes on over there?

They promise this money and that and then they say well if you red shirt we have to cut this amount.......

Very true happened to a buddy of mine.

Well my senior year 3 of our players went to play at P-ville. 2 quit and 1 was lied to about his payment for college. Joe Wyatt praciticed then quit said "it was a joke". Jermiah Damron said the same. And I don't wanna hear that well they just couldn't take it. Both are now proud members of the USMC.

Aren't you one of those big corn fed slow boys from eastern, Ky.?

They could take it, they were not good enough. They were told from the beginning that they were walk ons, I know this cause I know the guy that coached them in high school real well pillsbury. Yes I am one of those slow, corn fed white boys. My point is these guys that play will tell you every excuse in the world why they quit. " I got lied to, my knee is hurt, etc." It is hard for kids to come from being a superstar to being a scout teamer.

[IRISH4]

I played college ball for several years and I did have to hang them up due to a knee injury. I don't think it's a problem with kids not being a superstar it's whether or not they can get adjusted to college life(i.e. going to class and not flunking out). I do know kids that played there personally that did have money cut from them or wasn't given to at all. Sure they go down south and bring up kids and that's fine, but until they do heavy recruiting in-state and around WV, VA, TN they will not have a large crowd basis and will continue to have a bad reputation. I would much rather see local boys get compete at the next level...win or lose.... than a group from GA or SC.

I agree 100%.

[Redneck]

Justin Lamb broke the school record for recieving yards in a game with 159 yards yesterday in the loss to UVA-Wise, 2 TD's and a 2 point conversion to go along with those yards. How about that, the slowest reciever on the team who is from Breathitt County (Eastern Kentucky) leading the team in yards and receptions, not to mention going into last week he was like 5th in the NATION in receptions per game. Congrats Lamb, you deserve it.

Not so much of a group of down south boys..more like a group of D-1 flunks..

I'm really glad to hear that. Congrats to Justin Lamb.:thumpsup:

[IRISH4]

I looked at the roster yesterday and I believe that only 11 players are from the state of Kentucky and I believe 23 players were from South Carolina. The rest of the kids coming from NC, GA, FL, and even a few from Califorina. How in the world do kids hear of little ole Pikeville from California??? Doesn't make sense. Wise had a big roster and atleast 95% of their players came from in-state.

However, congrats to Lamb...he deserves everything he gets.

[Redneck]

After yesterdays loss, Lamb is currently 10th in the nation in rec/game and 25th in recyards/game. BUT, the Bears first game of the season against George Mason didn't count, Justin had 8 catches for 158 yards that game.

Don't forget about Alabama. BUT, those kids are good students and good kids. Brad Pounds starts on the O-Line and Sean McKinnley starts LB (averaging double figure tackles per game).

[IRISH4]

Pounds from what I saw did a good job blocking and it seemed like every time I turned around McKinnley's name was being called on a tackle. Both are good football players.

That's what I am saying, I don't care if they bring in out-of-state kids as long as they aren't thugs who are nothin but trouble makers and can't get it done in the classroom. Pounds and McKinnley both are great kids, niether one gets in ANY kind of trouble off the field and both are good students.

[IRISH4]

Agreed, I believe McKinnley is a few tackles away from the season single tackle record for Pikeville College. I think he has 9 fewer solo tackles than the #1 tackle leader in the nation.

And he didn't even hardly get any PT against Henderson State, why IDK, I guess they finally realized that the playing favorites wasn't gonna work. I don't understand how a coach couldn't like Sean, he is an EXTREMELY hard worker and he NEVER runs his mouth about anything, doesn't complain. I have heard from quite a few players that this coaching staff likes to play favorites, that crap aint gonna work if they wanna win. The best returning DL who was all-conference last year is out for the season, he told me saturday he was kinda glad cause he didn't wanna be part of this, didn't want anything to do with this coaching staff.

[Redneck]

I just checked the stats, McKinnley is 3rd in the conference in tackles per game and 1st in the conference in tackles for loss. 8th in the nation in tackles per game and 7th in the nation in tackles for loss. Pretty salty, McKinnley is what IRISH, about 6'0"-6'1" 220 pounds.

[IRISH4]

I knew his stats were up there...and didn't get any PT for the first 3 games of the season. I'd say you're about right on his Height/Weight. He's very good and aggressive for his size. I'm impressed by his play here of late.

[Redneck]

They beat University of the Cumberlands 31-6 AT UC yesterday.

[15thRegionSlamaBamma]

yeah UC played terrible 3 ints in the 4th lol

[IRISH4]

The Bears have Georgetown at home this week. I'll be there and hopefully they'll keep it respectable.
