  1. Yeah true but I get the draw of 45 minutes or less for a road non-region game also. We’ve done home/away with Hampton a couple of times and played them either here or there a bunch in the playoffs an I understand why teams are reluctant to travel there and why they’re reluctant to travel to far outside the area. It’s a big logistical challenge and an expensive one to boot.
  2. Hampton played Johnson county twice a year for a while also. Finding games is tough without a lot of very long travel up in that area sometimes.
  3. I haven’t heard anything, but then again I’ve stopped listening to be honest.
  4. The commute is being blown out of proportion here. I commute from Oneida to Knoxville every day. 140 mile round trip. I know dozens of folks that do a similar thing. The drive is only a big deal to those that don’t do it or have never done it before.
  5. Well if you don’t have a teaching position and the coach you hire teaches for a living the what other choice is there? I agree it’s a disaster in the making. I’m not defending the decision, quite the contrary, I think this is just another example of how little priority the football program holds with the admin at HHS and more evidence of how they didn’t take this seriously. Might even be some sour grapes and some sabotage from the inside. Ya just never know.
  6. I thought one of the restrictions of hiring the HC position at HHS was that there wasn’t an opening for a teacher? If I remember correctly then teaching at HHS isn’t an option.
  7. Like numerous folks here have said already. HHS did not take this search seriously for whatever reason. The names that were sniffing around the field house door wanting in and they took that long to hire was very telling. Like I said I don’t know the new HC and he may turn out to be a home run, and honestly I hope he does but some of the interested parties were proven. Oh well, such is life, and football unfortunately.
  8. Maybe so, we should be playing every year and then we wouldn’t have to speculate. It’s a huge gate 8 miles from each other.
  9. CY I don’t disagree with most of what you said and I’ll be 💯 clear I believe they should play and no reason not to except the powers that be at Oneida will not do it. That said the only thing that I disagree with is that it’s a rivalry important to the community and a tradition. It only happened 9 years and hasn’t happened in 40 years now. I think the tradition has in fact been lost at this point. I agree it should be restarted and sadly it is Oneida’s fault that it has not happened and will not happen anywhere in the foreseeable future unfortunately. Also while I think the community overall would like to see it rekindled I’m not sure it is really of any importance to them. There is a segment of the population that it is extremely important to but that group mostly is the same group that obsesses about all things Oneida while hating them at the same time. You know the same group that cheer when an Oneida score is announced and Oneida is losing or boos at a winning score announcement. That group has an obsession that honestly borders on a mental illness concerning anything good happening for or to Oneida schools and athletics in general. Example is my step son was playing during the 2008 season and I ran into one of my former middle school football coaches. Scott was not in the post season and I invited him to come to a game and watch my step son play. His whole demeanor changed instantly and he said some of the most hateful things about an in county high school program and how he would never be caught at an Oneida game unless it was on the visitors side of a Game Scott was playing them. That sort of crowd is the same crowd that compares the Scott score to the score of a common opponents common opponent when Scott played them vs when Oneida did. That sort of thing. Sad really and honestly that mentality of more than a few Scott supporters probably doesn’t help the situation either. For the record he was an employee of the county system and a coach acting and speaking like that in public to a “friend” with a kid in the team. He has not spoken to me since then and that is approaching 17 years ago now.
  10. Well I think everyone has clearly expressed their thoughts at this point. May be a good idea to let this one just fade away from page 1. I can’t see much good coming from continuing to talk trash and air out dirty laundry publicly although I’m sure several programs are truly enjoying the show. Just my thoughts on the matter and something for each to consider. Carry on as you see fit of course though gentlemen.
  11. I said seems like about 1/3 lol. Point being there’s a lot of crossover nowadays 😁
  12. Surprised that anyone knew about what? Some transferring to CF? What you think you’re the only one that knows players/parents 😂. I said I’d have to see it to believe it but considering how buddy buddy Oneida and CF students are nowadays I don’t think it’s as much of a stretch as in years past. I mean it seems like about 1/3 of the Oneida student body are dating students from CF anymore 😁
