Oak Ridge @ McMinn County

Gale Sayers knees were gone from two knee surgeries in three seasons. It was his last season as a starter He led the NFL in rushing in 1969 with 1,006 yards in 14 games

Ok...then I understand. All the old films of him show long runs and great speed.

That's the catswild I have been waiting for for months now......Goodnight delusional one....

After some good sleep I'm ready to resume our discussion on the lack of real speed in our running back position.  I really think it's a problem when you have NO REAL CHANCE of a long run against a good team. I'm not saying we need to depend on it, but it's good when it's at least possible!

He was the speedy Sayers from 1965-1967

OAK RIDGE IF YOU KEEP IT CLOSE...YOU ARE IN TROUBLE...UNLESS YOUR DEFENSE IS OWL LIKE  THE REFS HAVE THEIR HAND ON THE FLAG IN THEIR POCKET READY TO THROW IT....SO GO AHEAD A LAY THE HAMMER DOWN EARLY..

It is a tough place to play. You have to beat the stripes too.  I just hope they keep the cheap shots and late hits to a minimum.

Local referees always side with the home team in high school football.

Good preview article in Athens local paper.  Interesting comments by McMinn's coach; no respect at all for our running game.

He'll learn respect when his team is beaten like a red headed stepchild.

I found the article.  It said they have two defensive starters  hurt in the secondary.  It said they were the two biggest guys back there, sounds like they are going to have trouble on the outsides against T and Middleton.  It also said their defense was young and the oline is not protecting very well.  All of those things spell could spell trouble for the kees.  They have the worst PA announcer you will hear all year.  He's a cheerleader. 

 

It's another first down fer the Cheeeeeroooookeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!

 

We need to limit those first downs, I don't want to hear that mess all night long.

I read that article interesting they'll have two starters in the secondary out Fri. Thats not good for them Higgins,Bonds,Middleton ,Dunbar! RWR

[ORidgeKat]

I tell you what I would do. 1st play of game throw it out wide to T. Second play otherside to Middleton and see if they can tackle either one of those guys, kind of like we started out at Clinton.

I didn't say he "couldn't", I said he "hasn't"...nobody has. Unfortunately, my point has been proven.

So the 38 yard run Nickerson had last week isn't considered a long rushing run ??? Come on Cats give some credit where it's due !!!! Your point is useless at this time.

 

RWR !!!!
