ORCat14, have you ever heard of "tongue in cheek"? Tank doesn't think OR is down forever, that's ridiculous. He may not think we'll win each and every week, but he's a huge supporter and fan as well. It's just the style of writing he chose in this article to poke fun at the fans that have a gloom and doom attitude, and there are lots of them out there.

I understand, and again sorry that it hit home.

 

As a writer, you actually want to invoke emotions in a way that doesn't reflect bad upon yourself or the organization you write for. Trust me, after doing this for nearly 20 years now, I have never and would never bash young men or women who represent their schools.

 

While I enjoy stirring things up from time to time I also want to make it perfectly clear that I want nothing but success for the Oak Ridge program this season. I did NOT enjoy being off from the playoffs last year.

Tadvols, if you want to start checking facts: according to Buck Coatney in the Prep Xtra magazine, Cobb ran for 400-500 yards in a back up role last season.

 

Well I was getting my info from KnoxNews .. it may be wrong !! I went to every Fulton game and believe me Cobb did not rush for 500 yards last saeson ... I was correct though that Tank said that Cobb was a LB and hes not he is a DE ..so there now we are even ... Tank missed one and I missed one (If I did) ... anyway I just hate to see stuff written when its not accurate ...

Still think this one goes either way. Coatney and Stevens are a rivalry unto themselves. I do agree that Fulton's OL lacks experience. They do have some nice size though in Gamble @ 6-2, 240, Blasco @ 6-1, 280, and the youngster Johnson @ 6-7, 260. While big, they do move well, and I have been impressed with the early, and quick improvement of Johnson. He has the makings of being a very good OL. Certainly OR with guys like Stewart, Capshaw, Gregory, etc, will be able to match-up size wize. Both teams have speed @ LB/FB/ spots. Kids like Stokes, and Hamilton, and Cobb can play fast, hit hard, know how to get off blockers. OR has that too in Kirkpatrick, Vaughn, and Summers. I know OR has plenty of skill guys with Gibson, Rogers, Irby, etc., but I really like how Stinson is comming along. Humphrey, Tyson, and Smith are all dangerous.

 

I feel that this one could be won, or lost via special teams play or breakdown. Fulton seems to always do a nice job early in the season with punt returns. If I'm OR, I watching that very closely. On the other side, it could be an extra point issue that Fulton fails to convert on. This should be a close one, and I will roll the dice with all due respect to all concerned and, pick Fulton at home with an upset.

But what if someone from Fulton's staff told me he would be playing linebacker this year ... or what if I had one of those mysterious sources that told me he was a linebacker now ... or ... OK fine, I made a mistake. That's the first one ever!

 

Im sorry Tank ..I never thought that one of the coaches would throw off like that and tell you Cobb played LB ... your sources may not be totally honest with you ... cant blame you for what you were told !! I apologize !!

I have to say I'm not sure how we at Oak Ridge went from somewhat of a swagger this spring to the place of doubt we seem to be at now. As far as last years team, there were some very important extenuating circumstances that didn't help the team during the season. We were trying some new things(wristbands) and the new offense. Then when things were just starting to click together, we lost our QB. From my perspective, the team did as well as they could with the circumstances they were dealt. As for this season, let's not forget what a talented team we have and stop doubting ourselves and we'll do fine.. As far as Fulton, any time you play a worthy opponent you will be better for it. Good Luck!!!

      Head Coaching possible openings in Middle TN

      I was asked about this untrue speculation last night at our banquet(and several times over the last few weeks) which has been circulating on this website and through word of mouth. I am not taking the Rockvale job, nor have I even interviewed for that job or ANY other job since coming to Tullahoma. I have no desire to leave Tullahoma, my family and I love it here. We are committed to building our Lady Cats basketball program. I wanted to make sure our players, parents and stakeholders didn't get mixed messages from what I have continued  to communicate from day one and the untrue speculations of me leaving.  Coach Hibdon As stated above and I will add for clarification. This includes Blackman, we have no desire to leave Tullahoma, go back to Rutherford Co (even Blackman) or ANYWHERE else. There has been speculation from day 1 that I may be leaving for another job particularly RuCo and I have had to address the speculations many times. So I felt it necessary to make a statement for the basketball community and mostly our Ttown community to hear my commitment again amongst these constant rumors. We love this community, love living by the lake and no desire to move our 3rd grader and 6th grader from this school system. I wanted to make these statements for all those who are invested and interested in Lady Cats Basketball that my family and I are committed to being a part of Tullahoma High and the Tullahoma community for many years.

      I am betting on that one too. They will rock 4A. Many don't see it coming.

      So Reado left because Smith left? That seems like Smith just pulled the rug out from under him and left Reado hanging. Why didn't Reado just stay on and coach O-Line. I am sure he could have done a great job. He has been successful before at CAK and Grace Christian of Knoxville. Is private Christian School coaching that much different than coaching public school, and it also being BHS at that?
