Where does Oak Ridge go from here?


Recommended Posts

Dang Ole Dad He's telling me to mind my own business that he can speak for himself and he doesn't need my help. Maybe he's mad I said it first.

 

Also The Mind says he will probably be in Memphis for the first playoff game

 

Dad and Dad we'll talk later bout the eating of Ribs in the Boro. Probably Lost Old Dad will know the best place.

Golly I hate to bring this up, but with respect to the critisism of the OR school ad ministration it seems to me that their primary responsibility is the education of our children. I can not fault them in doing that job and I assume that they will continue to keep ORHS at the level they always maintain in the state. As to sports of course we want to win as all sports are competitive but the most important thing is what the kids take from the experience. I never had a child play football in OR but they have played other varsity sports (and quite successfully as in state runner-up) and all I ever really wanted is that they will look back on it as an experience they would repeat if they could. As I told told an overly competitive mom when our kids were 10 at a soccer tournament: "These are just kids playing a game."

Ntheknow2,

 

My suggestion would be to put down the crack pipe and join the real world. By the way, what a great post! I look forward to your next informative post. :D

 

well tnbreaker, my next informative post would be to just deal with it then like everyone else here in the real world. Besides, I was just basing my "suggestion" on what I'm sure you were already considering anyway.....moving somewhere else. Eventually there's just no where else to run is there? I'm sure no one is more "informed" than you are. ha! Good luck the rest of the season though, champ.

Dang folks, I of all people know that everyone is entitled to their opinion.

 

But how productive is all of this? I say we all get together at a bar somewhere, I will buy the first round. Call me here at the paper, we will arrange something.

 

I am very surprised that this thread has been left open as long as it has. I bet if it was a coach from middle Tennessee or not Oak Ridge, it would have been closed at the first hint of coach bashing.

 

But again, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Sadly, I say that, but I am in a position to where I have to shut up a lot of the time. You Oak Ridge faithful know the proper way to go about handling in-house strife.

You are obviously clueless to this matter. Have a good life, and by the way, you would need a goon!!!!!

One of many posts from one, no doubt. Maybe since you obviously know more than everyone else, you should be coaching Oak Ridge's football team, but I guess you lack that little piece of paper that says you can. Oh well, too bad. Have a great life too, pal.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
