  1. Being from middle tennessee and a huge, HUGE, titans fan, i was wondering what yall see happening for several of their rookies, mainly a few of their undrafted free agents. For starters, the position of Quarterback. I know that during and right after the draft, they hadn't resigned Neil O'Donnel. They went and picked up Tyler Watts from Alabama, and Jason Gesser from Washington St. Their website says they still have Billy Volek too. Now they have O'Donnel back. What are they thinking? Are they going to see which one of the 2(Gesser or Watts) is better and keep one of them, or do you see them getting rid of both and keeping Volek. 5 Qb's is to many to have, and i am surprised that they havent released somebody already...or have they let volek go?My guess would be they are keeping Gesser, but thats just because i think he is the more capeable quarterback. Now at runningback. They have Eddie, and i know they have John Simon, and dont they have another veteran or 2. Anyway, they drafted Chris Brown, the supposed heir apparent to George, then picked up MTSU's Dewone Hicks. I just was wondering your thoughts on Hicks making it for the Titans, and if not for them, somewhere else in the NFL.
  2. oakland is actually hurting at depth. well, i dont wanna say hurting, but, they dont have alot of quality depth, or experienced depth. most of the depth they have is young, very young. they have several players goin both ways. this is the first time in several years that they have had more than like 2 people going both ways. that could be the only thing to slow them down. if one of the starters gets hurt, like i said, they dont have great depth at every position. i think that is the only thing that has a possibility of stoppin OHS.They have everything necessary to go all the way, and barring injury, i think they will
  3. dude jpats.....oakland has just as many guys with those 40 speeds. the only thing is, oakland, along with alot of region 4 teams, always have that kinda speed, so its not THAT bigga deal to us.
  4. Hey jpats, u realize that the major reason those 2 jeff county kids are in that stupid magazine is b/c the coach filled out he prospect card. most coaches dont have the time to. You tell me what having a name in that book means, what i gets u. NOTHING, its just that, a name in a book. I know for sure that oakland has some big time college prospects. how do i know? b/c i have been in the field house when recruiters were there. I have seen what schools have requested film on more than a few players. I have 2 points here. the first and most importat, FOOTBALL IS A TEAM SPORT, nd the 2nd, just b/c u dont have a name in a book dont mean that you dont have any stars, or outstanding players. (Carlos crawford from oakland- 1200+ yards rushin last year, had a 100 yard game every week accpt 2..and a few where it was almost 200, and played devense, and every special team team. he was on the field everysnap.)
  5. JPATS, just to let u know, just b/c a team returns starters, dont mean anything. I know this for a fact. Oakland, in 2000, returned almost all their starters, including all state running back alvin Mcdermott, and all stater Brett Trott. Everybody picked them to win it all, they were the team to beat, all that hoopla. well, they finished 6-5, losing to Red Bank in the 1st round. This past year, my senior year at oakland we returned all but like 5-8 starters. again, we were supposed to be a big dogg in 5a. we ended up 7-5 losing to riverdale in the 2nd round. Bottom line is, just b/c players have experience,doesnt mean that they will destroy everybody, win all their games,and the like. Your gettin on here and pretty much gauranteeing that jeff co. will beat DB by 4 or more TD's. Ok, i may not know alot about east tn football, but i know that DB isnt a push over. i dont care if your the best team in the state, 4 touchdowns is a lot to win by...and i dont think that DB will let that happen. I mean, if everybody at jeff co. has this same mentality as u, then yall are gonna be in for a rude awakening b/c yall will get beat time and time again if you think u can just walk out on the field and win b/c yall have speed and experience. win just b/c yall are JEFF. Co. and yall have been the best for the past 5 years....o, wait, thats not right, yall havent done crap as of late
  6. yea, he is a great guy. so is his brother. they are both amazing athletes. but ya, we wil have to for the game of the week in week 3.
  7. as far as i know, he is still the coach, and will still be the coach. i havent seen anything to say otherwise
  8. Hey andre are u talking bout the legal trouble he was in?
  9. i dont see how jpats can sit back and say that they will kill riverdale/oakland/blackman/whoever. They say riverdale was lucky to contain DB's speed. Who's to say it was luck? even if it was, every team has some luck. Besides, i would say that Oakland/Blackman(dont know about this years team)/Riverdale have had tremendous team speed in the years past...and i know oakland has tremendous team speed this year. I dont know if you know him jpats, but Carlos Crawford is a beast. he rushed for over 100 yards in every game accept 2. He almost had 200 rushing yards in several games, and would have if coach euverard hadn't taken him out and put in some younger guys. Bottom line is, Oakland blackman and riverdale have proven themselves in recent years. the past 2 years, THE ONLY TEAM TO KNOCK OUT OAKLAND OR BLACKMAN OF THE PLAYOFFS IS RIVERDALE. You dont know what its like to play football in middle tennessee...the level of competition is so much higher.
  10. Hey, mine is [email protected]. that will be the one u'll be able to reach me at. i dont think i'll be on aol much next year. hey bhsol, did u have fun at orientation? it was weird cuz i saw u and was like, i know him...who is that....and then when u said something, it clicked.lol. what are u majoring in? i know i asked u earlier...but i forgot how many hours ur takin...also, whats ur schedule? maybe we have the same class....if u tell me ur schedule...put what building and room number u got. mine looks like this(17 total hours), and i am majoring in criminal justice administration: Monday/Wed./Friday Intro to criminal justice 10:15-11:05AM Peck Hall 103B University 1010 11:20-12:10 KOM 122 Fundamentals of Comm. 12:25-1:15 BDA 216 Tues./Thurs. Prevention and Control of Crime 9:30-10:45 Peck Hall 312 Expository Writing 12:30-1:45 Wednesday Night Scuba Diving 8:00-10:00 Class meets at murphy center, then moves to rec center to dive.
  11. yes, i will give him credit, he has loosened off of it, but i think its b/c he doesnt have the talent to run up the score like he used to...thats part of it anyway.when say the other team couldnt stop them, probably not the 1st team. but whe ur up by like 4-5-6 touchdowns goin in to he 4th quarter, then come on, put some 2nd teamers in. he would leave the starters in until like 2 minutes left in the game. this is where he earned his nickname.
  12. well, at oaktown, he played sam linebacker, walked up on the line of scrimmage. i think he will prolly play outside linebacker up there. his twin brother, jason, also a heck of a line backer, is goin. he started for us his sophomore and jr year, but last year he coulnt play b/c he had problem with his neck, and if he got hit the wrong way, he would be paralyzed, so that ended his career, but i tell u, he was good....but yea, his bro, john, also a GREAT linebacker...would have gone D-1 if he had a little more size, and a little more speed.
  13. wow, western ky. thats a good school. and they won the national championship last year, so u may get a national championhip this year, if they can do it again. a dude on my team is goin to play up there this year. johnathan carter, he is a "preferred walk-on". hes a good guy and a great player.
  14. exacty my thought, mynameis, exactly. u just worded it. this years schedule isnt a hard one, and thats what iwas tryin to say. that maybe last year they didnt do well in the playoffs b/c they were outmatched by somebody who had played in big games, against great teams....i couldnt say it any better than u did though, it dont seem like anybody at cumberland county is preparing for the playoffs
  15. Yea, thats good. and i apologize if my other remark came off a bit.....smart assy...didnt mean for it to. just stating how i felt...sorry if yall took it the wrong way.
  16. back to the top for the interested people
  17. yea, if u dont pass 5 classes on the year, u cant participate in sports th next year....
  18. yall got a weak schedule...maybe thats why last year yall went 8-2 and got whipped by oakland in the 1st round
  19. you can make the credits up in summer school....if u dont pass summer school though, u still dont get to play.
  20. i am telling u my freshman year, 4 years ago, 5 football seasons ago, if u count this year, its true. we had a guy transfer and he told me. i really dont like gary rankin. he tries to run the score up. i dont know if ur talkin about the mentally challenged kid when iplayed a few years back, but i now thats not true. the year rico played on their freshman squad, they left thei starters in till the last 2 minutes
  21. Hey BHSOl,iknow one of those guys.His name was Troy Broughton, he went with my family to the beach in 98...anyway, that point is moot. He moved, and was transferring, and apparently(this is what troy said, dont know if its true, probably not, but....), troy had signed a contract saying if he transferred, then he wouldnt get his ring or jacket. anyway, he had to move, so coach rankin was gonna keep the ring and jacket he had earned...needless to say he got it, came to oakland, and started on the 98 state championship team. any way, tdcman, i know what ur saying. but rankin leaves his starters in if hes up by like 4 touchdowns until like 1 min. left in the game. Another thing i heard, dont know if its true, was my freshman year, when riverdale beat us 58-0(and it was as ugly as it sounds)..anyway, i heard rankin told the freshman coach not to take out the starters until the final 2 minutes....and he didnt....also, in 97, after riverdale had won, his team walked past the oakland bus bad mouthing our coaches, our players, our whole program, with rankin right there, and he did NOTHING about it.
  22. Bob, a.k.a eric, a.k.a oakland2001, has brought up a great idea, and i am gonna help run it. We are wanting to start a website directed at Region 4, 5a football. we will need people to help us follow other teams in the region. we can follow oakland, and one other m'boro team, but we will need help with other region teams. if u want to help us try to get this thing goin, then email me at [email protected], you can pm me here on coacht if ur a plus member, or Im eric on AOL or Aim at oaklandbball
  23. oh, well its my understanding that he was invited, and is one of only 12. thats what the paper said, and what i have been told by several other people, including a few coaches. but, that doesnt mean they are right..
