Holy Cow 7-3 at the half. Answers my question about playing such a weak schedule. I would rather be 7-3 and actually played soneone during the regular season.

I have read a few comments which leads me to wonder. Do you think it is better to be a 10-0 team with weak regular season teams or an 8-2 team that has played a tough schedule. I am smart enough to know the regular season and W-L record doesn't mean anything if you have the gold ball at the end of the playoffs.

Oh well

I count four undefeated teams South Doyle Oak Ridge Owls ( lol I have to learn how to spell one day) Rhea County No doubt this will be the best game in the state next Friday night. Whoever wins wil have had a tough row to hoe cause most likely they will face another undefeated team the very next week. If South Doyle wins into the semis which I personally think they will, there will be another un defeated team waiting. What if Hillsboro makes it to the Championship game. I am just curious does anyone know if anyone has ever had to play 4 undefeated teams to win the state title.

I wasn't able to make it to the game and had limited radio reception. I caught the score at halftime. The best way I can describe my thoughts was concerned but confident. The very next thing I was able to hear was that OR gets called for holding which led to a 3rd and 15 that could in my mind have led to SD taking the lead if OR doesn't get the first down. Then WHAM BAM OR cranks it up and throws a TD. Now that's what I mean when I say ROLL CATS ROLL !!!!!!!

Picked the winner of every game .... Except two out of three anderson county teams. AC looses a coin toss that I really thought would go their way and Clinton looses a game to a 5-5 team. Well that's the reason they take the time to play the game. AC and Clinton leaves a little premature. I always hate it for the seniors when a team that should be playing next week ends up instead turning in their equipment. I hope they just keep their heads high and take the time to really enjoy the good times they had during the season. I will be 50 this year and played on a 6-5 team but to this day remember Friday nights under the lights as some of the very best times I have ever had.

Roll Wildcats Roll. I hope the Cats are able to get on the board early and often. A team that can throw the ball as good as I have heard SD can are coming into a game with nothing to loose have to be taken seriously. After their game last Friday the only thing they had left to do was turn in their pads, now here they are a week later In the playoffs they have to be thinking beating OR is possible. Crazier things have happened. They are still playing. Roll Cats

There are several great places to play. I guess I was referring to places, geographical locations that have a lot of personality in and of themselves. I have been to Blankenship when there wasn't another person there and the place seems to talk to you. And I'll be happy to see all those nice young men in their clean white coats.... ( not a football reference just dry... very dry attempt at humor. But seriously how many places have the personality that Blankenship field has for their players and fans.

Pltayoff time is so exciting. The atmosphere at the Ship cannot be beat anywhere. I am sure there are better fields, better stands but there is no better place than Blankenship Field to experience everything that makes high school football great. Roll Wildcats Roll

Owls or Rhea Co. ?

It may be a little premature for this post but I have learned to deal with being premature before. I just think about my mother-in-law...naked!! Come playoff time does a good team start putting in new plays and schemes or do you go full tilt back to the basics, technique and responsibilities. Is OR good enough to be predictable? With the fact that most likely in the third round OR will be facing another team that hasn't lost a game, can they really afford to ignore that fact until the game is only 6 days and really 3 practices away? Does anyone have any insight into the Owls and Rhea Co. game should that game happen. I am an OR fan not a player or coach so I can afford to look ahead. Lastly does it bother any one but me that OR doesn't have to beat Murville to win a state championship?

Again since the topic of past players being at the game I was curious about the years 2002-2003 2003-2004, 2004-2005. Those were the Cory Booker and spencer Gulmire years. Does anyone agree with me that Oak Ridge should have played in the state championship game all three of those years? If not all three the last two for sure. They made it there in 2005 as any real fan knows.I am in no way wanting to start a coach bashing conversation. I just am wondering if any one agrees Riverdale ended the run both of those years we didn't go. I will never forget the snow storm of the 03-04 school year. The end of that game was without doubt one of the most exciting high school football I remember ever seeing. And the state championship game was so close and the rain kinda shut down the passing game I have always wondered if the had put the Coffee kid in at QB if things might have turned out different. That is certainly not a knock on the Gulmire QB he had a great year but with the passing game not in play they pretty much shut Spencer down with that hoss linebacker they had. I think with Coffee in at QB There would have been two dangerous ball carriers with access to the ball if that might have been enough. Oh well we will never know will we lol. Just giving a bit of praise for that era. .Roll Cats Roll

Since some middle school conversation broke out I was wondering about Jefferson. Do they still have the same coaching staff they had 2 years ago? I guess I am asking about school year 2011-2012.

Just trying to find out what the expecations are in cambell county this year. I noticed they have won their first two games by a large margin.Who are the playmakers on the team. I have a friend that lives here but is from there. Any info would be appreciated.

Are you kiddin? That was a huge win for Clinton. Oh wait they didn't win did they? I have never seen a happier bunch to Almost win a game. Show me a good looser and I will show you a looser. Oak Ridge came out un- motivated and Clinton probably had the game of their lives. The calle were terrible aganist the home team. I dont really understand that but there were some very questionable calls. I did however loose some confidence in the Cats. Lets hope this was their bad game for this season. If they had played like they did tonight aganist a decent team the W could have easily been a L. The Stone Kid needs to get out of Clinton. If had some help he could lead a team with a coach to some post season play.
