While the problem in the "virtual" world will never be solved, I took care of it on my end in the "real" world.

 

When someone would start bashing coach Stevens, or start rambling about booster money issues, I would pull out my recorder and simply ask: "Would you like to go on the record about this, maybe we can get something done?"

 

And the conversation would get changed ... but coach bashing is nothing new, it just shocks me knowing why some of them are actually doing the bashing.

Bounder -- my rib-making friend -- you are saying someone has to actually live here or come see firsthand to understand what is going on with the "demise" of the Oak Ridge football program? If that's the case ... I better not read one more negative post from my CoachT.com buddy from Florida. /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

This has been said many times before but maybe you just didn't see it The team that went to the State tournament was Coached by Stanton Stevens, however he assumed a team of 28 seniors that had worked their way to where they were with the help of other coaches. He brought a new offense but he still had a tailback that gained 2000 yards. And a proven quarterback,offensive and defensive line, secondaries, ect.

Probably with the team he inherited even you or I could have taken them to state. Well maybe not me cause I don't know anything about football!

 

And that's all I have to say about that!

Tank,

Your coach T buddy from Florida owns property there and actually comes there almost monthly and attends many games. So I guess I'm exempt from Bounder's comments.

Tank,

Your job is odd enough already! Ha Ha....I'll keep that in mind. Now, tell us about some sports stuff. I'm over Anna and Imus and can't bear to watch the tragedy at VT any longer. Lighten up the atmospheric pressure here a little.

LOD,

I think the plan is to bring the Rib Shack to you. I think Bounder has an eye on a cooker to borrow down your way during the next few months and an excursion will be planned. Just a rumor right now.

Works for me! I would LOVE to see another Oak Ridge vs R'dale match up in the playoffs!

Evidently Stanton's plan is working with the track team. They just won a track meet in fine style. Congratulations to all involved.

Coach Stevens idea was to require all receivers, backs defense and offense to compele on the track team and it would enhance their speed...seems to be working. Hope the team work carries over to the football field.

 

Hey Tank ole buddy how come you didn't tell us this was going on?

To be honest, I thought it was common sense. I didn't know there was any "required" participation, but I just figured that he would use this as a way to get his skill position people some work on the track, to get faster, etc. And there are some big boys throwing the shotput and discuss around as well.

 

Just to tie some things together, from my point of view.

 

After reading, talking and plain old observing, I don't think things are as bad as them may seem. However, maybe they aren't as good as I think they "could" be either. I am very anxious to see the make-up of the coaching staff for football and the numbers that will be out come Monday. I also hope we start things up with the Oklahoma drill for like an hour!

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
