What is with the "Newless Journal" this week and it giving no love to Oakland? R'dale got two articles in two straight days and Oakland NONE. While I am pleased that R'dale is getting good press, they will NOT be alone on the field Friday night. dry.gif

 

Thats ok. We are just so lucky that Riverdale is going to let us play on their field. We know the game is just a mere formality, but were just happy to be here. I hope we do not embarass ourselves too badly

 

Oakland doesn't need any press...there to busy reading there press clippings from last year!!

Nevermind that Oakland has only given up 14 points in the last 5 games..............

 

 

and who were the power house teams they played?????Mt Juliet?.....lol :roflolk:

Correct me if i'm wrong but didn't Riverdale have trouble stopping MJ's offense in their scrimmage game this year? And MJ's offense made a huge improvement on the O as the year went on. So for Oakland's D to only allow 14 to MJ and shut out 4 others is something to get excited over. 14-10 Oakland

 

Excuse me!! I was at that scrimmage....you failed to mention how many scores Riverdale had and how many score MJ didnt have!! I know your scorned with your loss to Oakland and your hoping for an Oakland win so you can somehow think your a better team than you are but lets face it, MJ can't hold the jocks of Riverdale or Oakland!!

Just stating facts and my opinion i'm entitled to. I have earned that right. (Semper Fi) and have been to Iraq. I must have been misinformed then because the word was that MJ beat Riverdale at Wilson Central. Varsity and fresh. Didn't Hendersonville also beat you. The same Hendersonville team that lost to MJ.

I wish luck and congrats to both teams for advancing this far into the playoffs. I was only defending the rediculous statement that was made with the jockstrap which was from Larry Holmes about Rocky Marciano in the 80's. I really don't care who wins just think Oakland wins in a close one.

I just hope our skinny little guys can keep it interesting for the fans. Even scoring would be a huge moral victory. We can all hope for the best though.

 

Go Warriors!!

 

Well if it gets really bad we can always play the cheer leaders! Hopefully they still know the plays. :thumb:

 

Better yet: Oakland posters v. Riverdale posters :huh:

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
