Also, when we work out some things on the defensive side of the ball and a few other things we are going to be very good come October November. I wouldn't wanna play us then if i was an opposing team. We still are going to be a good team. Just sucks to lose to Farragut again. Hopefully next year we will already have a game under our belts too when we play. Hate to make excuses and not taking anything away from Farragut, because they earned the win tonight, but it doesn't help us in the least bit.

Wow.... That's a mouthful. You're right about the snaps, but I'm sure he will get better, performed very well in the past and just needs to get comfortable at game speeds again.

 

I'm glad someone thinks the QB situation is settled, I don't. Not going to second guess the coaching staff, they make their living doing this (very well I might add)

 

We just got off to a slow start as we all were afraid of. I'm not sure about the criticism of the defense, after the 1st quarter, they held them to 10 points, and the offense gave them 7 of the 21 from quarter 1.  Of course we would all like to see every play get stuffed at the line, but they did bend some, then got turn overs.

We will be just fine, I'm darn proud of them for fighting back instead of folding up.

Also felt good to get the Joe Gaddis Era II started off right. I'm sure as a former Farragut assistant coach he really wanted this one. Maybe next year Joe.

Congratulation. Enjoy the win. Nobody in Oak Ridge really expected us to win this game. I never was very confident we would. Both middle LB's are sophomores. One of the outside backers is a soph, one at the DE position. And all the rest besides 1 of our CB's and S hadn't ever played a snap of varsity football. Played not 1, but 3 QB's during the game. No RB with any varsity experience, except for Rowe, which had about 2 carries last year in a varsity game. Most everyone else, but 2 linemen on the OL and 1 WR had never played a game. To only lose 31-24 and to even have a chance to win it @ Farragut AFTER you guys had already played a game then i think that speaks very well of our future. Like i said, congrats, great job. Still excited about the future of our program. We could've given up and laid down tonight, but in true OR fashion we buckled down and kept it tight.

Maybe it's just me .but instead of changing a helmet logo and changing the uniforms-and shaking hands and kissing babies-with the community ...maybe we can be focused on the fundamentals of football .. But what do i know I'm a just a traditionalist.

I agree. Gaddis speaking to the Rotary Club and speaking at the pep rally last Saturday cost us the game tonight. He should've pulled his players out of their noon classes and practiced them instead of going to Rotary and he should've called a Saturday night practice last week instead of attending the pep rally for the team.

      He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.

      Dylan's Dad, I'm glad you replied. I wanted to reply but wasnt willing to take the bait. There were 20 wrestlers on the team. I may be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 5 of the 20 attend McCallie right now and one will next year. At most, there are/were 6 kids on that team who attend McC. That leaves 14 other team members who have ZERO affiliation with McC (outside of maybe some friends) who represented our state to the best of their ability and wrestled their butts off that weekend. That weekend was a first for Tennessee and obviously a small step in the right direction for us as a state. Congratulations TEAM TN BLACK!

      This is a great question. The retirement seemed a little premature. I do not know the coach personally, but I hope he has found what he is looking for. He is a fine Christian man with a lot of principle and morals about him. I wish him nothing but the best. There are some players in the box for the next coach. This is going to be interesting to see how it plays out.
