The same could be said for OAkland. From a 3-7 season last year to the finals, they have come pretty far also.

 

Actually, in the last 3 years prior to this one, Oakland has been 10 - 20. I'd say going 13 - 1 so far this year with a trip to the Finals is AMAZING!

 

Go Pats! You have made all of us die-hard fans proud not just with your record but with your attitude. Remember, we are all praying for you and we are all tremendously proud of the young men you have shown yourselves to be!

Well its hard to swallow that Oakland made the finals, but they have played hard and fought to get the program turned around. The best thing about this matchup for the Rebel fans is that its at Middle Tennessee and not Freedom Field. At least at the BlueCross game the PA Annoouncer will call out the names of all the players and not just Oaklands. Can any Pat fans explain this? Your guy never announced a single kids name from an opposing team at any of the games I attended. Glad to see Middle Tennessee remains the dominant force in 5A.

haha yea im sure the drive home was worse after the way we showed up for that game. hoping franklin puts up a better game than we did in '04. it was a great experience though.

 

 

Ehh, I was still proud.

 

And please, Riverdale was amazing... if you go back and look at the play-by-play, that game turned on a couple key plays. I'm not saying the game was closer than the score or anything like tehat... but I think you're selling yourselves short.

 

Anyways... someone needs to text me updates Saturday night... you, or Rebel Yell... someone. Hit me up on facebook if you don't have my number still.

Does anyone have an opinion as to whether or not playing on turf in Floyd will affect the teams? As far as I know, this will be Franklin's only time on anything but grass this year.

 

Just wondering...............

 

The Field Turf at MT is a great surface to play on. IMO it shouldn't have that much effect on the outcome. The Pats do have some advantage with having turf in the indoor facility. The Bulldogs didn't seem to be bothered by the last two years.

Thats why they call it home-field advantage. Its the PA announcers job to be completely biased to the home team. He does a pretty good job in his own way

That's classic. I think it was just the start of this season when 2P stated that he was glad SHS vs. OHS was at your place because of the announcer at SHS. I've never really thought about the PA guy winning any games, but I guess you needed more than just new uniforms to turn around THE PROGRAM! By the way we weren't that impressed by the Hotdogs. Lets just keep the Gold and Silver balls in Middle Tn no matter who wins them.

I have a feeling the "World Famous Oakland Dogs" might taste even better in the parking lot of Floyd Stadium on Saturday.

Don't mean to Say that season wasn't spectacular. Just think we couldve played better in that game. Would have taken a lot for anyone to top that years riverdale team. Here's hoping franklin brings home a gold ball to sit next to the silver we recieved in 04!!

    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through. 
    • McKenzie had no trouble with Huntingdon.  
    • Has BA landed any cornfed cowboys to block up front?
    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say ..
