Oak Ridge Wildcats are becoming a Powerhouse again

[Ole Dad]

Oak Ridge has now won its 4 games for the year. That is quite a feat when you consider that the 4 teams they have beaten have combined for 6 total wins on the season. The more sad statistic is they have squeaked by in most of those wins.

 

Remember when Stevens took over from Lussier and was publicly announcing that he had arrived with his new high powered "Run and Gun" offense? Lussier's last team averaged 45 points a game and Stevens was going to blow that away. He was going to get all the kids to come out for football that Lussier couldn't get. How is it that there are half as many players on the team now as when Lussier left?

 

Heck by the time this season is over Stevens record for the last 3 years will be 17-14. He will have lost 14 games in his last 3 years. In comparison, Lussier lost 14 games in 6 years. Emory Hale lost 23 games in 12 years and Joe Gattis lost 24 games in 11 years.

 

Food for thought.

Ole Dad, it might be a Freudian slip on my part, but did you mean juggerNOT. I played against the Emory Hale teams. They were classy and well coached. We were fortunate to have 2 wins and a loss while I played. But as a Hill Topper we use to like to take it to Emory as he was an ex Hill Topper.

I hate to get in this but what the heck. I don't think Stevens is a good fit at Oak Ridge. It should be clear to all Oak Ridgers by now that this just ain't gonna' work. Cut him loose and hire a coach that can bring Oak Ridge back to where they are supposed to be. As a DB fan first and a Oak Ridge fan second I always dreaded playing Oak Ridge. It was a game you knew that if you won you would have to have some luck on your side. Now its getting like a game we expect to win. Theres way to much talent in Oak Ridge for this to be happening. I would think it wouldn't be hard to find a great coach with the tradition and talent Oak Ridge has.

While we are harpooning sacred cows, BEEF ribs come to mind! Nothing like those foot long pieces of delight.

 

Bounder you do Beef ribs too? /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

 

Bounder remind me sometime to tell you about the time I almost got in BIG trouble in New Dehli trying to organize an improptu BBQ. The big Sikh policeman looked like one of the O-lineman from Germantown we faced in the finals of the BC Bowl! I was NOT PC there either. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

[Ole Dad]

I would like to speak on behalf of the other regional foes. We like Coach Stevens and think you all should give him a ten year extension.

 

Go Owls!

LOD usually when I cook beef it's a new york strip or a t-bone but I have cooked beef ribs and you're right lots of meat. As for trying to cook beef in India not a good idea, them folks don't take kindly to eating their past relatives.

 

As for ten years of Stanton "the knife" Stevens I don't believe the system could stand it. He has had two strikes and when he gets his third it could be ugly. I want the best for my Wildcats and I don't think he can get it done in the long run. I don't hire or fire so I just have to fuss on coachT.
