One thing for sure,Oneida is gonna be battle tested. CG may be pretty tough,but I'll take the Injuns. TL is stingy.

Good luck injuns. PCC

I saw what cg did to sg and the rebels must really be down this year. I look for the indians to win another close one

Cumberland Gap was another very young team last year, bringing back a boat load of kids. Another great opportunity for Oneida to go on the road and play a solid team. I expect CG to be big and strong on the line. Hope the Indians are working hard! It's nice to have a Monday off....more CoachT time!

Smash, you're up.

 

I tried to make a thread last night, but I keep posting in other threads or messages and the program wouldn't let me type anymore! It's gonna take more time to get to 1500 posts!

After what must have seem like a lackluster effort against Wartburg.....we travel up to Sneedville. I'd expect the effort has to get ramped back up or the Tribe won't appreciate this trip home this time. My guess is they understand they missed a teams best bullet and the execution will improve this week. CG is a better team and we are known to play to the level of our competition. Which is not a good habit!!!! Lambo pitched a shutout by having his kids in the right places....I expect the offense to perk up before long.

This could be tough match up. We will need all our ducks in a row.

This is a fun part of the year where you can start cross referencing each teams...not that the info really tells you anything, I just enjoy comparing how teams play each other. CG and Oneida both went to Wartburg and won close games. CG did better on offense, Oneida better on defense.

 

Now the Indians make the long drive up to the Gap, tough place to play. I think the Indians will play much better this week but cant be shooting arrow into the dirt and trees....shoot at the Panther!

 

Oneida is doing pretty good all things considered (new head coach, new routines, new defense) Getting a victory against Wartburg, ugly or not, really makes a lot of things down the road possible that a loss would have made really hard. Just got to keep getting stronger in focus.

This should be an interesting match up. In the history of this series, CG has always played Oneida tough at CG. Not so much at Oneida. Oneida has probably had the tougher schedule so far so that could serve as an advantage to them. CG has looked good so far this year however, and should be ready to prove something on Friday to the visiting Indians. I expect it to be a close game, possibly even coming down to the last possession. I'll give my nod to CG, simply for the fact that they are playing at home.

Right on Smash.....and lets not beat a dead cow but it was ugly. Most teams will have some of those games and they build your team because they put you in circumstances that otherwise would make you uncomfortable. That last ditch drive Wartburg had last week would have throttled a lesser team. That long catch that kid made was incredibly good....he had the Oneida DB all over him. This group needs to show that they are an experienced bunch....they have more kids that have been to the rodeo and new stuff or not, they need to start showing it. CG is an excellent place to start rolling!!!!!!!

I hope they wait til the following week to find that spark Kaz!! And then have it all the way to Cookeville!! Always a lot of respect for Oneida and their people. Even from the old Powell Valley/Oneida days. This is one of my favorite games of the year and I hope the two teams keep each other on the schedule for a long time. Good OOC rivalry.
