Not since Jeremy Woods was here .

Yeah - because holding never happens in football. I think he was meaning just how convenient it is to only call it inside the 10yd line... Yeah I know what he meant - just funny he can honestly criticize the refs when only hearing the play from Farragut radio announcers.

You wanna post a link?

Where are you getting updates?

That's a final I believe. 56-0 Owls.

Brady Reed has a great game - good to hear finally. 14-19 for 150+ yards.. and I think 2 TDs. He also led the team in rushing with around 60ish yards.

Ooltewah - 19 Franklin - 3 Wow - and I thought our offense was bad.

9-0 Owls at the half.

Always good to get a win over Sawwdy Daisy.

yeah 21-14 final.

Closest game would be McMinn County I believe. Also play @ Cleveland - not very close though. Bradley Central, Franklin, Maplewood, Rhea County, Walker Valley are at home. Btw, 21-14 Ooltewah now. Sawdy scored on a long TD pass then we ran for an 80 yard TD on the first play of the next drive.

Still 14-7 with about 10 left in the game... not good - Owls still apparently have no offense and that's against a team with less speed and possibly talent than last week Smith is tearing it up though.

14-7 Ooltewah in the 2nd.

does anyone know if you can get WTZO "The Zone" - fm 105.1 online and listen live? No luck finding it so far for me. Can't even find their website..

I think Bubba was a senior last year - but don't know for sure since I'm not a Trojan fan. Hopefully he was - because running him on a slant every single play was their only offense against us in that regular season game.

But how does he rank since we actually had a good/competitive program? Because we've some baaad teams in 25+ years. I'm not sure what decision making you're speaking of - I do think he makes good decisions to run at times - but haven't seen much when he's in the pocket. That zero in the second column will not stay there very long if we continue to have such poor play in the passing game. Our running game isn't as good this year - and we definitely won't be going far in the playoffs without some improvement. I am not partial at all to the wins/losses arguments since its so early in the season. Looks at our first two opponents. Our schedule is fairly easy overall this year though. We will get embarrassed just like last year in the playoffs without some changes when we actually run into a legit big program. But hey - if we can scrape by every game and march through the playoffs with that type of strategy - then so be it - I don't see that happening though.

He only had the chance to throw it on 3rd and 20 last year because Monroe knew we had no passing threat. If Reed can complete over 55% of his passes in a game this year and throw for 125-200ish yards then I will become his biggest fan. You act like I don't want him to succeed - I'd love for him to play well - but I don't see any reason why he would start now if he hasn't yet.

Uh - pretty sure he's had quite a few. I do not recall any good or great games off the top of my head - most have either been average/fair (when he just managed the game well) or underwhelming. And to the bolded part - give me a break - the defense and our RBs have done what they've needed to do to win the games the past few years. Our passing game has not been a threat - don't be so naive. I'm proud of what they've accomplished since Gatewood took over - but take off the goggles man. You may think we're stupid or bad fans for questioning things - but atleast we aren't blind to the situation which I think is dumb - it's a message board - why should we need to pretend we're cheerleaders 24/7 on here? I'd rather discuss football than come on here and only post "Go Owls! Hootie Hoo! - You'll get em next time!" - how boring would that be? I love the Owls - and loved my time there - but it's laughable you question my fan-hood just because I don't choose to look at the glass half-full 100% of the time like some people.

You sir - are dumb. How many of those points were due to our bad offense (or Oakland's great defense) and our horrific special teams in that game? Oh wait - you didn't watch the game - so you probably wouldn't know. I'll answer it for you though - most. If you honestly are questioning Ooltewahs defense then your opinion is worth crap dealing with any subject - even outside football. Offense is bad though. Bad probably doesn't even describe it at this point - terrible would better suit it. We'll surely do a bit better on offense this week going against SD - but they'll be able to score if we give them the same opportunities like we did AE since they have a kicker. I was there watching the game. Is your special team not the same a defense come on. I went to the game before the Oakland game also. You people kill me. Lol - so you are an idiot - saying special teams is our defense.

Because that's blind homerism - if a player has had like 20 bad games in his short career - what makes you think it will get much better next week?

Helps? No. But neither would blind homerism and pretending things are all peachy and awesome. It's a message board. Shouldn't and doesn't matter either way. And if every player reads it then something is wrong there too. We're hear to discuss football not hold a pep rally imo - we don't attack kids - but if someone doesn't play well I don't see why we would just ignore that fact. It's not like they're a bad person if they have a bad game, or career.

AE probably has more talent/speed than ole Sawdy Daisy - so not sure what you're trying to say there.

Good one - I'm pretty sure I don't have a kid - well atleast I would hope not. I'm still a fairly recent graduate of Ooltewah and a UT student. But - I'm not blind or oblivious to our QB problem which hasn't improved - yes the line may not be good - but this is likely the 3rd straight year Reed has performed fairly poor if the trend of the first two games continue the rest of the year. I've got nothing against Brady Reed. And as the poster above me said - I'm for anyone who can get it done back there. I've got no agenda or bias towards any of the QBs - no connection to any of their families, etc.
