I see. Well- Try complaining about it and see what happens.

That is correct. Basketball player, class president in 1971. Who knows how he might help? Not counting on it, but you never know.

 

How does "Blankenship Field at Jack Armstrong Stadium within the Dish Network Athletic Complex" sound?

I love it. I wished that he loved his school the way that the Nike guy does.

I think the Coach could change up things RE the boys club to fit our system JMO 

Great post. Look at the programs that do in Tennessee (MHS and West). But this year offensively I didn't notice an actual system.  I will take in account a staff put together late and a lot of uncertainty at QB position and inexperience players having to step in.

[bladerunner]

I don't see that in my plans. I'm not sure who I would complain to anyway. I may go to a booster meeting and voice my opinion but I rarely attend those anyway. I'll probably sit back and do nothing like you. The difference is that I'll hope our stadium isn't allowed to deteriorate without repair, while you will be hoping for the total demise of a once great stadium. And you'll chastise those of us who hope for the best. You must be a very unhappy man/woman. I hope you experience some happiness in whatever remaining remaining years that you have.

LOL!

I laughed at the last two sentences myself. LOL

Woofter won Mr. Football. He should be way higher then that. But, I will let Blackerby slide haha

[IanMackaye]

Is Blackerby's list just made up of football players, or does it include great Wildcats from all sports? A comprehensive list of great athletes from all OR sports would look pretty impressive I would think.

[bladerunner]

I agree with Ian.. I would like to see that as well. Oak Ridge is the best sports program

In the state....period

[IanMackaye]

Along the same lines, since OR has over 30 team state titles and who knows how many individual state titles, OR must have had a long list of great coaches. I know of some of them like Gaddis, Hale, Armstrong, Martin (football and track?), Prudden (girls basketball), and McNamee (track). There must be a lot more than that since OR has won titles in other sports. I would like to see a list of the OR coaching greats in all sports too.

[OR nole]

If I remember correctly, Blackerby consulted with numerous other people before putting the list out in the Oak Ridge Observer. It is just football. The list was presented as a countdown, 10 at a time, with a few sentences about each player. Published around 2006.
