Your grandfather is a wise man.I drive down the turnpike on the paved roads of o.r. and beyond to see all the rotting government buildings with doe cleanup crews and old rusty state championship signs.Dying so sad.

I hear you... Where do you all keep yours? State titles that is.. We looked at the trophy case up there to no avail.. We didn't even see the cow tipping or tractor pull trophys....Are these put up in another barn?

I meant you should not lose another game. Just looking at your sched, you all should take the state with ease.. No kidding.. With the coaching staff you all have plus the talent on the field you can't go wrong.

Well, you might have forgotten about the spankin they took from DB. The game should have been a 35-0 shutout. Just saying. So what do you think about the Tribe?

Coach Stevens 1-1

Coach Blade 0-1

Considering OR has played one game to date, maybe not a fair comparsion. Here's the problem I have, before the Farragut game, all I heard was how OR was going to beat Farragut because Farragut wasn't that good and lost more returning starters than OR. This was the first time I saw OR since the Austin East Scrimmage, which I thought they looked pretty good. Here's the question I must ask, where is the player development? I understand OR had some injuries, BUT if Blade is developing players at the rate some posters claim, where are those players? Bladerunner - you seem to deflect every question asked of you. I have excepted the players as a whole are not that talented, when are you? If I remember correctly, you were the one who said Blade WILL make a difference. The schedule has been put on a silver platter for him. I thought Farragut ran up and down the field on the Wildcats but couldn't finish. It's reflected in the stats. Play calling was horrible, especially in overtime. Kids techniques were awful. Maybe the players move had something to do with it, but why would anyone move players around the week of the first game considering they have been working hard since November.

Back to a last year question, Bladerunner, feel free to answer. As of now, who is the worst coach in OR history? Hint: Coaching record.

Can anyone tell me what poster made this quote? "Coach Stevens is the worst coach in Oak Ridge history, look at his record."

You are wasting your time jedave30. Bladerunner will NEVER answer a question whose answer he does not like. He loves to criticize and run his mouth, but avoids the tough questions. In fact, as I said, he avoids ALL questions unless he likes the answer. Player development is supposed to be at an all time high. I just don't see it. It's easy to sit back and bash Stevens. Bladerunner ONLY comments on the EASY things. Stevens earned some of his bashing, but what's the point? We are supposed to have the best coach in our history and he is a master player developer. If true, it's time to see some evidence of both. OR has slipped into mediocrity, and it's hard to continue blaming this on Stevens.

Jed,

I never stated we would run over Farragut.. I did not go to the game but I was told tht we lost in OT?? This is just hearsay... Did Farragut blow Oak Ridge out? According to Bounder, He stated they looked about even..According to my OR clan.. They said to same thing.. two "Ok" teams playing each other.

What did i miss?

Did Blade assault a Farragut coach?

Did the pads come up missing?

What about the Knife?

If Stevens was the Coach we would have lost by two scores JMO

 

and Jed I really don't care if you and Jethro like it or not.

 

If given the same amount of time if Blade's record is the same as Stevens I will agree with you.. You can deveolp players all day long but it needs to translate to wins at Oak Ridge. JMO

 

 

"Jed"

 

Why don't you post your real name "Coach"

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • 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.
