^i bet gaddis brings back the old helmet decals.

Funny you say that...There was made a Gaddis page on FB a few mos agao to help bring him back..Over a 1000 OR fans are on it..I just posted a pic of our old helmet on it and said "Bring this back too, Coach!!!!!" lol...I'm with you. I think he will, without a doubt..He is very conscious of our traditions, and that is a big one.

I love Oak Ridge football & its tradition, but those decals were very outdated. Decals on a helmet don't matter as long as you win. Great hire, I'm sure the Ridge will win a state championship in the coming years.

 

Absolutely! Walking on Blankenship still moves me after 30 years, I love the tradition, but it's just a decal, the players like it, and we need to allow them to add their own to the tradition as well.

First things first, Congratulations Oak Ridge!

 

Second, with this hire will improvements be made to the field and facilities there? A shuttle from the high side to the low for us OLD folks would be nice seeing as y'all can't install an escalator. LOL

 

Third, will this mean a return of Bounder cooking ribs?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Who’s going to lead the pirates offense this year?
    • Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.
    • I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.
    • Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.
    • Yeah, I read about their spring blue/gray scrimmage after I typed that.   Sounds like a real mess over there.  I just hate that for 'em.  Haw
