  1. I really think that this is oaklands year. If they dont get hit by the injury bug, then i think this is the year.
  2. hey falcon...how many starters does Linclon CO have commin baCK? oakland has all but about 5....and some other ppl who got some PT last year. I cant wait for Oakland in the Pit. I played for oakland last year, and i was actually the one who jumped on the 1st play of overtime....i had to make a check and didnt think to remember the play was on one...and i moved...but, its in the past...but i tell u i have tremendous respect for linclon county. i know they have a really good running QB and always have good coaching and players. so i am not counting them out...i am just naturally in favor of oakland, but i do think they will go all the way if they dont have injuries. they have alot of experience...and that helps. almost all of the starters have started before, and those who havent have had good PT. good luck to yall falcons this year.
  3. Its a 2 year i think...i am almost 100% sure. but other than the scrimmage last year when else have they come? they havent played oakland since before 98. i know cuz i have followed every oakland game and scrimmage since then. unless i am mistaken, last year was the 1st in a while for them to even play.
  4. also, jpats, listen to what jeffcountypatriot, and the rest of us have been saying...middle school football is different than high school. its a big difference in middle school and Freshman football, then its an even bigger difference in freshman and Varsity....this kid will be playin against 17-18 year olds who are much stronger, and faster than he is used to, and he wont be able to juke like he is used to. cuz i know he isnt a power runner if he got 800 yards in one game, even if he was, he wouldnt be in h.s, not as a freshman any way. bottom line, on paper....with no injuries.....Oakland vs. Franklin/Gallatin
  5. thank you, like i said. but i guess that jpats dont realize that probably 6 outta the 8 teams could finish above .500 in region 4, but i guess that dont matter. but i mean jeff co could schedule some tougher opponents....how bout maryville, i know they are 4a, but supposedly could beat oakland and riverdale...
  6. jpats, i seriously dont understand how u can just come outta nowhere and say that jeff co would be favored by 2-3, when oakland is considered one of the best teams in the state right now(preseason). and let me get something clear, they dont lack tons of depth like i may have come across saying earlier, just in what i think is the key position, the offensive and defensive lines....and the only reason i say that is b/c there are several ppl going both ways right there. however, having said that, oakland is very rarely hit with injuries(knock on wood) b/c the coaches do a great job of what kind of practice they do, and we have the greatest trainers in tennessee there.
  7. My take is this, if Oakland can stay healthy, then i believe they will win the state. They have a very tough schedule and i think this will benefit them, espically with the early contests against franklin and brentwood academy. those few youg people they do have playing, will mature quickly under one of the greatest coaching staffs in the state. Here is my pick Oakland Riverdale Blackman Lebanon Smyrna Lavergne Seigle Wilson Central
  8. dont ever call me son, i aint ur son,...talkin to me like u know me..if i really wanted to put an accent mark i would have worried about it, but since u dont type in capital letters, i dont use accent marks....got it. oh and FACT: MIDDLE TENNESSEE FOOTBALL IS BETTER THAN EAST TENNESSEE, ESPICALLY 5A. Look at the past State championships...2002: Brentwood vs Riverdale..hmmm, both from middle tennessee...2001: Riverdale vs Hendersonville...hmmm, both from middle tennessee....2000: Red Bank vs Riverdale....riverdale is from mid ten., and i dont consider Chat. to be east tenn., 1999: Sevier County(wow east tenn pops up) vs Glencliff...mmmmm middle tennessee there....1998: Oakland vs Hendersonville...wow, both from middle tennessee....i think u will find a similar trend if u continue...have facts to back up ur supposed facts...AND WOW, IN EVERY STATE CHAMPIONSHIP SINCE 98(thats as far back as i am looking right now, then you look at years 94-97 when riverdale was pretty dominant too) ACCEPT IN 99 HAS HAD A TEAM FROM REGION 4 IN IT...INTERESTING SINCE EAST TENN IS SO MUCH BETTER
  9. i tell you, after scrimmaging ba last year, they were very good. i dont know if they have as much talent returning b/c i dont know anything about them. i know that oakland should be very strong....they have almost all their returning starters....its gonna be a GREAT contest and i cant wait to see it. he ownyou, is it at BA or OHS?
  10. no, its touche, but the e is supposed to have an accent mark, but i cant put it on there ...not touchy....touche is pronounced Too Shay, please, dont try to correct me....u make urself look like an idiot
  11. This year look for the book to be out in mid to the end of july..maybe early august. the past couple of years he has sent his book to a new york publisher, but this year he has taken back control of it so it will be out much earlier
  12. smitty is about 6'3 330ish....maybe a lil less, maybe a lil more...last i heard anyway thats what he weighed...he plays off. tackle and def. tackle
  13. Bob your wrong....at oakland, i would say their oline is one of their strong points....they have a lot of strong, good players there.
  14. last year we had 13 seniors, of those, 6 were starters, with a few more seeing playing time. other than that, and the loss of maurice crawford being academically, the rest of the team returns starters. On offense, they lose 3 o line men and a receiver, on devense, they lose 2 d-lineman and a LB, and some db's who didnt start, but played in a nickle type defense. but like region4fan said, they lack some depth, and if they have injuries, it could pose a problem. but if not, i wouldnt be surprised if we(i say we cuz i played last year and have since graduated) made a run and are playin in the Blue Cross Bowl in week 15.
  15. I know wardell Alsup is playing at MTSU, ummm, Roland Ogletree went to UT-Martin, but i think he quit/got kicked off, and he joined the marines or some military branch, Dewone Hathaway is playing at Maryville....and, thats all i can think of....i am pretty sure those are the only ones who played football
  16. My understanding is they are treating this openin like that of Blackman. If you are not an upcomming jr. or sr., then you have the option of staying. if not, then you can not get a waiver. atleast not the first year.
  17. thats the bigges mess of what we at oakland call H.C(horse crap) i have ever heard. i bet u know nothing about riverdale football, aside from their record. the only game i have ever heard u metion as seeing was the DB game last year, and thats not enough to make ur presumptions. that would be like me saying that Jeff Co is gonna win it all. I know its not gonna happen, but to u it sounds good, just like u saying riverdale is beginnin to decrease in talent. Both of them sound good to u, but saying it doesnt make it so. I think riverdale has proven they are just as good in recent years as in the "glory days". they may not be as talented, but they are still winning like they used to. thats all that matters. they are winning. and this is comming from me, a huge oakland fan, and some1 who isnt really fond of RHS.
  18. I know they havent done it in 2 years at oakland. the last time they did it, a guy broke several bones in his foot when he landed on it wrong. but i know that wrestling does it.
  19. Riverdale also had a devensive lineman in the game. City Lawrence,if im not mistaken. also, didn taron hurt his foot agai when he fumbled the punt? it looked like some kid jumped on him and got his foot. he was limping off the field, and later i saw him on the sidelines with no pads on.
  20. there it is. That was an awesome play. was he playing DE or OLB? i dont remember.
  21. Is he honoring his commitment to ETSU? he seems like he could be very goo some day.
  22. So u think that Volek can beat Gesser for the #3 spot. i think gesser is a great qb, and the coaches are gonna realize that. i dont know much about volek, but i know that Gesser threw more yards in, i think the pape said his senior year, maybe his jr. and sr. year, than watts did his whole career at U of Ala. What do u think will be come of watts when/if he gets released? picked up by another team, then on to NFLE?
  23. I was wondering who the beast was on the east team. Number 8. i beleive i saw he is going to ETSU next year. Where did he play ball? he looked like an animal. That play in the 1st half when he got to the RB in the backfield down near the goal line was NICE
