tank doesnt believe in oak ridge?

[rigger101]

atleast you dont deny saying it.....i commend you for that.....I just find it funny that the guy that watches them week in and week out DOUBTS them. As an outsider and lifelong ORHS fan it just doesnt make sense.

You have heard of "Being Objective" haven't you?

Tank,

Keep up the good work. You're doing a great job and are a true asset to the Oak Ridger and ORHS is fortunate to have you as the local sports reporter. There are several schools that could give The Cats a run for their money. That doesn't mean they don't have the talent and team to win all of their games but very few teams have made it all the way through undefeated, high school or college. You are correct in the fact that their are some dangerous games ahead. I always have thought you have to be really good to win it all, AND you most likely win one you should have lost. That's why they actually play the games instead of letting a bunch of old farts like us decide who should win. Go Cats!

I have a tape, would love to sit down and review it with you.

 

I did say Ooltewah was a very dangerous team, felt like they had the best chance of beating Oak Ridge in the regular season. At the beginning of the year, I could have added Soddy as well.

 

I did NOT make that statement recently.

 

And Oak Ridge can't just show up and beat Farragut either, they will need to play well, like they are very capable of. If you think I am Oak Ridge bashing, I am very sorry. You should hear those guys that do the Friday night show!

 

If I ever pick Oak Ridge to lose in the paper, and they don't, then you can bash away. I can say many things, I said I thought WB was a dangerous team, but who did I pick to win? Saying a team has the potential to do something and believing they will actually do it, are two entirely different things.

 

I honestly doubt I will pick OR to lose a regular season game, but who knows, if it stirs the nest, I have always enjoyed doing that.

Most fans of their teams do not have the word objective in their vocabulary. Unless, of course they are a TN VOOL fan and most of them are either front runners or pessimists. If they win, all they talk about is how much they screwed up and if they lose, they say I told you they would lose.

Tank is one of the great ones on the T and he doesn't doubt Oak Ridge. They have talent, but they have to be prepare each week, especially come the playoffs.

Are you in middle school? I'm suprised you know how to type.

[BDURHAM]

Where is the "doubt" coming from? Is Tank supposed to say Oak Ridge will never lose again? What will he look like as a reporter when Oak Ridge loses?

 

How do you feel about the guys who write about UT every day? Should they say UT didn't lose the game against Georgia?

 

Being a fan and reporter are two different things, even for a hometown reporter.

Tank,

 

They need to get someone on the Friday night show who can comment on the Oak Ridge game and players, I'm not talking about someone who will toot and root for Oak Ridge, just someone who has knowledge of the team, The guys do a great job, but, by there own admission, they can't answer questions or address many comments concerning the wildcats

[OllieShaggnasty]

I dont believe in o.r. either.

[TankTalk]

I am sure they would love to have someone like that. I just can't be consistent now, covering the 'Cats and all. It will just take someone who finds it intriguing to be on TV until 1 a.m. for nothing more than free pizza.

 

I wish I could think of someone who could comment better on this year's team, hopefully they will work it out. But those guys do a super job and give up a lot of free, late time to come down there, so I agree with that.

Tank, excellent job, you are right, Soddy, Ootlewah, and Farragut could be Oak Ridge, this is true. will they do it? probably not, keep up the good work.

Tank,

Your right, the guys do a super job with little if no reward, I hope they don't take my post as a knock against them, it was just an observation.
