  1. Never said Oakland wouldn't lose but certainly won't back down from a challenge. Oakland scrimmages McCallie every year and holds their own so yet again I say I don't see any volunteers
  2. I don't see anybody from II-AAA volunteering. Oakland has scrimmaged multiple II-AAA teams just about every pre-season. Oakland has entered spring 4 years in a row with just 9 games so you want some, come get some
  3. 2024 is the biggest salary of his deal at 55M, after that it steadily drops down into the mid 40s for the rest of the deal. So yes, Burrow took a page from Brady and left a significant amount of money on the table in the hopes his team can't put it to good use elsewhere
  4. No offense to Higgins, but they should. Burrow took a team friendly deal so I think keeping both isn't that crazy but if Tee wants WR1 money, I don't think it will be in Cincy.
  5. Kind of surprised Cincy tagged him. Hopefully they're committed to keeping him there and not just trying to string him along bc they haven't extended Chase yet. If you saw Higgins play in person at OR, this doesn't surprise you at all
  6. Something to be said for the schedule Oakland plays as well, which included a regular season loss to Cookeville. Always love playing the old 7-AAA teams
  7. In the past that was probably a legitimate concern but if a kid/parent is motivated to move their kid to Oakland or whoever, that's not gonna stop them. Most of Oakland’s big transfers have come from a private school. Always found it curious that even at the height of their dominance, Maryville never had a problem filling out their schedule. Made me a little jealous that they were able to maintain old rivalries while still playing at a very high level
  8. Not helped by the fact that Oakland is only in a 6 team region. Finding 5 games when there are 6 classes isn't easy and forces them to sometimes schedule games against smaller schools. Don't remember the last time Oakland went into the spring with a full 10 game schedule. Central was the school for all of Murfreesboro until 1972. Great article on the 1970 championship team on the tssaa website : Murfreesboro Central
  9. Well more like everything runs in cycles and there are no guarantees. Riverdale dominated for the better part of 15 years in the 90s and 00s and hasn't been back to the title game since.
  10. Last year was probably the first season I would def agree with that. All the growth in Middle and East TN is starting to show when it comes to parity. 6A has never been stronger Oakland is blessed with a great coaching staff but is also blessed with a great feeder system. MS, Fresh and JV have lost very few games the last 5 years Nothing lasts forever. 6A is more balanced than ever and while Oakland may continue to win alot of games, it's my belief we are near the end of the Creasy era. 88 and 89 were the first meetings bewteen the 2 and there have only been 6 meetings total. If it wasn't for Oakland and Riverdale, Gaddis might have a few more titles to his name. I'd much rather have a home and home with a program steeped in tradition like OR than travel out of state
  11. I'd argue that 5A is just as tough in ET as 6A is, if not more so. Don't think it'll be a big jump in competition for OR
  12. Even the best football coaches in the country (at all levels) struggle with clock management. Easy to judge a play after its over. Your not doubting that he isn't a great coach, yet you advocate for firing a guy that has gone 63-17 the last 6 seasons, you can't have it both ways
  13. Maybe I'm the minority, but I don't get this logic at all. Outside of a few good years with Jackie Benett, the history of Page football prior to Rathbone has been a whole lot of nothing. In 21 and 22 they were big underdogs and it showed. Last year they graduated alot of talent on offense from the previous team, if anything they provably overachieved. Don't think anyone is going to put more pressure to win than Page puts on themselves. If you play 15 games, you had a great season. To fire Rathbone for not winning the last one (regardless of how this season goes) is just crazy when he doesn't have an advantage in talent
  14. Hopefully this a lesson for all school systems to actually take care of your facilities after they've been built
  15. Hard to see Caine leaving Upperman for somewhere that isn't a clear step up
