hey david you can count me in

Rankin Alvin Duke Fernando Bryant Coppins Locke

hey op..... told you coach wouldn't be gone for long....

doubt it will be filled by someone currently on staff....I think it will be an outsider...Look what hiring outside the "family" did for football. possibly Couey.

You are right no riverdale supporters paid for unis.....they would be called former riverdale supporters.. and yes the donated pretty nicely!!! and if you call that indoor facility deplorable...then yes you are correct. Go Coach Mac 2p, and OP can back me on this...I've been on board since day one with him!!!!

Man you are right!!!!!!!!!!! You know Franklin is better and so do the polls!!!!!! I think Oakland should give up the state title. BUT.....I guess you forgot to tell Franklin that they were better and you also forgot to tell Oakland not to get off the bus!!! way to go!! You cost franklin its state title!!!! Its all your fault!!!!! How could you do that to your team??? do you even sleep at night? Oh well Oakland won!!! they played four quarters...not 5 thats good for oakland right buddy? Maybe you should petition the TSSAA for one more quarter for both of franklin's losses this year..that way you can be undefeated!!! Oh and maybe the finals should be best of 3. Does all this make your little heart feel better??? I'm sorry you didn't get your way little boy!!!!

Smyrna better lock down its players!!!!!!!! I know several are not happy with the HC there. They are in big trouble IF Middleton leaves.

Your right 2p!!!! Like i said winning breeds jealousy!!!!!!!!!!! People want us to be the lovable losers. again...I say to that......STATE CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!

WOW someone peed in his Cheerios!!!!!!!!! WINNING BREEDS JEALOUSY!!!!!! Oakland had a ton of class when we were losing thats funny...... we win and we are classless.....to that I say......STATE CHAMPS!!!!!!!!!!!

you're quite the ohs historian yourself, 2p!!!!

Leo won a national title under switzer there i believe

Who is this guy???? calling out OP?? man you're crazy he's been a FAN for a long time!!! I've heard nothing but great thing about Mac from the players i've talked to. Hey buddy you need to get over your complex!!!!! I've been a pats fan for forever, I just haven't had a dog in the hunt this year like i have the past 5. Plus I was around for the 98 team. You, on the other hand, sound like some punk who just wants to get heard. grow up buddy

hope your coach applying at smyrna doesn't foreshadow any lack of talent this year

Hey oland!!!!! we can agree on this one buddy!!!!!

you're crazy if you think that ferg didn't get support from the administration!!!! I will give you the asst. thing but you know as well as i do how hard it is to get asst. coaches especially with limited openings. Also you can't make up openings so a diversity in subjects taught is needed as well. I just don't understand why you won't back this new guy. do you know him???? What is wrong with taking a chance with a young coach???? every coach in history has had to have a start somewhere. There is no rule saying that a coach has to be an asst. for so many years before they are qualified.... I f this doesn't work out i will want change. does this make you happy??? Remember though that I never said it would be in one year. I think it is only fair to give him at least 4 years just like ferg got....do you not think that this is fair????

We know you don't like this hire.....You think that the only coaches who qualify are from the "marty's army" lineage.

tell me what has been promised or given to our new coach that the old one never got????? I can tell you this.....The old staff was told to ask for help if it was needed...guess what...no one ever asked for more help.....

By results I mean consistant winning.....there were flashes of success i'll be the first to give credit where it is due...but I due feel that the coaches and the players were a little....how do I put this...handcuffed... the players could play with emotion the coaches didn't show alot of emotion...change had to happen....I believe moose was part of riverdale at one time. I don't mean to offend anyone....but at the same time don't offend me with this I want it like it used to be crap!!!! I think that everything will be fine!!!! I'm the one being positive and jumping blindly on board....Isn't that what we should do??? Remain positive...stick by this school??? I am!!! I am also moving forward!!!!! you all should try it

sorry...we are retaining 3 possibly 4....I haven't heard the final on coach moose..that will make 4. Trust me.....there wasn't a whole lotta smooth in that locker room to begin with!!!!!!! Loyal or not they NEVER got results....and loved that staff but as a whole as a coaching "team" they couldn't put it together. thats all I'm saying. I don't care where any of these guys come from. BTW I think there were already some riverdale guys on you beloved Oakland staff before the change

Cheshire, Clark, wilson, barrett

Who is the favorite????? Well I'll start it like I did last year.....until someone can prove that they are better than Oakland.....its Oakland. just like Riverdale was last year. Sure they lost 7 seniors and I know thats hard to do and duplicate last year's success....but it can be done. I have been part of it before!!!! Oakland's strength will be pitching. I think there are 4 legit starters that will see district action. Look out for willie dodd...yeah there is another dodd out there between the dodds and the parsleys I bet the rest of the district hates this family /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> The young guys should step up and the returning players know what it feels like to come one game short.......

I don't understand why everyone is scared of riverdale?? I'll say it...riverdale, riverdale, riverdale!!!! yeah they have been better than us....alot better over the years. thing is though these "riverdale people" aren't at riverdale anymore!!!!!!! This is sports you want the best players coaches, etc.!!!!!!!!! I don't care who coaches what sport its still Oakland!!!!!!! Riverdale has come close to getting former Oakland people to coach different sports over the years...so what!!!!!!!!! As long as we are the patriots and we wear red white and blue guess what...we are OAKLAND!!!!! I hope the coaches show off there rings to the players too!!!! they should!!!!! I just don't see why people won't jump on board with this new staff!!!! Just because he has riverdale ties???? That's pathetic!!!!! This goes for anyone.......If you don't like it we don't need you!!!!!!!!!!!! No more Building houses metaphors!!!!! FINALLY after the past four years Ooakland can build a heck of a basement!!!!! New blood in the program, young hungry, enthusiastic.......WHAT ELSE DO YOU PEOPLE WANT????????????????????

Spring Practice in May!!!!!

Sounds to me like someone didn't get the job they wanted or someone they know got passed up. Go Pats!!!!! I'm PUMPED

To all Oakland fans, students and players, Those of you who are upset about this hire have no reason to fret!!!! I personally know Mr. Vaughn and Coach Collins, as well as their families. I also know what these men stand for as well. The football team is in great hands!!!! The players are going to be WORKED HARD from know untill the season starts, and probably during he season. They will also be required to succeed on and off the field. No one should worry about the character of this coach or staff!!! Like i said earlier the two men who selected our new coach will not let this program be lead in he wrong direction!!!!
