Union City '06,what happens when the seniors leave?

I would like to chime in on the UC/OC game. I live in McKenzie and some games are just meant to be played for various reasons but probably the most important is the TRADITION they mean. I mean we play Hutingdon every year. And yes, we usually lose. But our kids, community and county expect that game b/c it is a long standing tradition. And of course, the administration knows the $$$$$ that gate alone brings in is something they can't turn away year in and year out.

 

So when you talk about tradition, you have to include the long standing rivalry games that are just a part of high school football.

 

What if TN/Alabama did not play the 3rd Saturday in October every year? I would be highly disappointed b/c that is just meant to be (win or lose). It is a tradition in both our states.

 

So if any of you are still players playing, cherish this tradition you are a part of and also honor it. Don't get on here and talk trash. Be class people on and off the field.

I disagree.....When Union City was beating OC all the time,I think it stopped being a rivalry(I mean to have a rivalry,both teams need to win some)...But,now that OC has turned the tables so to speak,it is more of a rivalry.....I know it means a great deal to the players at OC.....Even though it means NOTHING as far as the playoffs go...

 

Good Luck to the Tornadoes in your scrimmage on Friday....

 

We all care about the game, but it doesnt mean as much now as it did back in the day, thank u for the support, in my opinion we need a lot more support than we get especially in the oc game we arent expected to win anymore
