Oak Ridge vs. Farragut predictions?

[Lost Old Dad]

I keep hearing about the 'lack' of talent both at OR and R'dale. For the life of me I do NOT see it. There IS talent at both places. Just a matter of the way it is used at R'dale and the real ability to teach at OR.

 

Any way it goes it is NOT the kids fault as they just play the way their respective coaches tell them to like parents have been telling the kids for years to listen and do what the coach says.

Stanton, stop posting on here under an alias. That was the biggest crock of bull Ive ever read.

Oak Ridge is as bad as ive seen in years. For years the plants in OR kept the wildcats in talent. This isnt Coach Stevens fault just a lack of talent. I personally think Coach is a good, descent person maybe he just cant connect with these kids. I think they will improve for next year but give the coach a chance to rebuild this program if he so wants too. I have been a Fan of football for years followed my kids through some tough years at their school. They learned discipline even though they werent a very good team. They have become good people as adults. So please think before we write any bad comments about the kids or coaches. Big Win for the admirals 45 - 14

I may just go over to Farragut so at least 1 person from Oak Ridge wil be in the stands. Only if it's not raining cold, or windly.

Besides I can always go to Wild Wings before and after the game. And if it's cold or rainy or windly I can just stay at Wild Wings. Wait I could go to Smokey Mtn Brewery and forget the game.

Yeah there's plenty of talent. If they get a good coach, Oak Ridge will be dominant again when this years class of Sophmores are Seniors and the Freshmen are Juniors. There is a TON of talent. Heck OR has played a bunch of Sophmores this year.

A watering hole? Must be because they have great Iced Tea. /roflol.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":roflol:" border="0" alt="roflol.gif" />

Uh Yeah, sweet with lemon, or maybe a taste of the Rockies.

Don't forget the parents of the the OR players. You know they'll be there. Parents were probably the ones who were there Friday night. If it wasn't for the parents the stands would really be empty.

Sorry, but I respectfully disagree with you on that statement. Number 4 is as good of a player with the ball as I have seen this year. Number 11 should have been called on to run the ball more often. If you did nothing more than lined #4 in the backfield to take a direct snap, they would have done more than they did. There were more that did good things on a bad night last Friday. Play calling was not good with the talent they had on the field. I am sure OR will return to a powerhouse program in the coming years with a new coach. It really saddened me to see how far this program has fallen. I counted 12 kids in the student section on Senior night. These ball players on OR deserve more than they are getting.

 

I have been an Owl faithful for over 20 years and I do not even have a dog in the hunt nor did I go there for high school. But I follow and support these kids. They were 2-8 when I first started going to their games.

Just answer one question then. "IF" the talent is NOT there anymore then why did SS come there? For that matter continue to stay there? If he is that good of a Coach he would actually want to move on. The RAW talent IS there, they just need qa REAL Coach!

first of all you never lose the pride if you care enough about your team trust me i know i played for clinton and i always had pride in my team even when we were 1-9 or 2-8. secondly a school as large as O.R jjhas plenty of talent its just hard to get them on the field sometimes, again look at clinton, we've had plenty of talent in the school the last 5 or 6 years it just took awhile to convince them that they should come out for us. and thirdly complain about coaching as much as you want but dont take a cheapshot at the kids and tell them they dont have talent cause we all know thats not the case. wow i cant believe im actually defending the wildcats but seriously they arent a horrible team they just have to have better coaching and be more disciplined. i hope the best for them in every game except for the clinton game each year and i hope they get it turned around. this is probably going to be a rough game for them but as long as the players give it their all they can come away with their heads held high. good luck o.r!

Straw is a clown. He has never seen OR play or been to OR. Don't let him get your goat. He is telling another whopper. Heck, only a member for 30 days so he has a lot to learn.
