FYI- on Sat night no one will be allowed on the MTSU field so it's great to have your team come to YOUR fans' side to celebrate rather than sprint to the opposing side to grab your crotches and taunt. Good luck to both teams. I am rooting for Franklin and don't see how they can be beat, but I admit I haven't seen Oakland but am hearing alot so if you do win, Pros to you, you will have earned it. Only 27 hours to go. To everyone involved, enjoy the experience, you'll always remember it...win or lose, trust me, I've been thru both.

 

 

Every team can be beaten. Just with some you have to look a little bit harder for weaknesses than others.

I completely agree and if they pull it off, I'll be impressed and the 1st to congradulate them.

 

 

I just think its a bit overblown about how Oakland really hasnt won any big games when it could not be further from the truth. Riverdale, Smyrna twice, and obviously Ooltewah, were all games where there was a big piece of doubt whether or not Oakland would be able to win.

 

Both Oakland and Franklin are similar in that they both have had big targets on their backs all year long and both of their losses were where they were in control late, only to lose the game. In terms of scheme and how they play, Oakland and Franklin are different, but they are alike more than folks know, and that is why both of them are here.

Actually, it's never really known how good each team is related to the other because they usually have no common opponents. WhiteStation appeared strong, but apparently their region was not as strong as region 6. It will be interesting to see which team can bring home the gold ball. I'm hoping for a good (close) game as the 1A and 2A games tonight are rather boring.

morning of... I'm sure many of the players are lying restlessly in bed and won't recieve too much sleep tonight. Ateast that's how it was for me four years ago. Good luck to both teams. I'm obviously pulling for FranklnliN but I honestly hope for a good hard fought close game. Each team deserves to be here. Franklin fans be careful on the 30 minute(ish) drive. It will seem much longer. Oakland fans you obviously dont have far to drive but still be safe travelng. The atmosphere should be great. Can't wait to see everyone tomorrow night!

Finally game day. Both teams have worked hard to get here and they deserve the recognition that goes with it. For some it will be the final game they play, for others it is a beginning. Reguardless what it is the main thing is relish it for the memories will last a lifetime.

 

Young Men I hope you have a safe game and that EVERYONE comes thru injury free.

 

For me I am going to admit I am pulling for Oakland to win. They have the weapons and the skills to do it.

 

For both teams, HAVE FUN and play hard.

 

Go Pats and bring home the GOLD!

    • If he wanted to play QB he should have either went to Heritage or William Blount and had a real good chance there. In stead he'll be exactly what he was going to be at Maryville. They already know who their QB is going to be in 2025 and it ain't going to be him.
    • Easier said than done. The man who ran for 250+ yards and 3TDs is gonna be back….and a lot bigger.
    • plus it removes the pressure around winning.
    • You are correct.   The teacher's pay scale is virtually the same in Knox County, now, as it is at Oak Ridge.   The coaching supplements are still higher at Oak Ridge, from what I was told, but not a huge difference.   Plus, Rusty is going from a position coach to an OC position, which is what he was at South Doyle and where his comfort zone is.  And from a special education teaching slot to a PE teaching slot.  There is a lot of positivity in that move without even considering the coaching aspect.   Anybody who sees something negative here is just looking for negativity to begin with.  But some live in that world.   Really good hire for Brent.  He now has two experienced and quality coordinators and can concentrate on being a head football coach.  
    • He was pretty darn good for a freshman, but he will have a hard time seeing the field at Oakland for a good while, I’m afraid.
