Today was Move in Day at Clemson University. Guess who was first to arrive...that is right, # 5! I can't wait to see Tee in purple and orange on TV.

I have been meaning to post this for a month. Without ever playing a snap of football in the ACC, Tee is rated the #97 best player in the league.

A little depressing to hear about the team this year.Hopefully its not as bad as some around town think.I keep hearing 5-5 would be a good year for this team.Last couple of years seem like a huge missed chance at building mo for the future.Lets just hope for the best.Go Wildcats

What 5 teams you think will beat Oak Ridge? I see 7-3 or 8-2. Farragut should be a good game. I'm worried about us HVA (loosing so many on defense) being able to score with you guys. Fulton lost a great WR and DB (still very good) and is struggling as both of us are to find a line. West will struggle this year but will be better in the future.  DB never know but I think you play them there this year and always tough to win. The rest of the schedule Oak Ridge should win. Possible loses HVA, Farragut, Fulton, DB.

Your poor mouthing isn't fooling us. HVA went deep in the playoffs last year, you return a great runner, a lot on offense, and key players on defense. As for OR, the teams that can beat us are HVA, DB, Farragut, West, and Fulton...but I hope they all don't. Campbell County will be pretty good and Clinton talks like they could beat the NE Patriots. Powell should also be improved.

lol I hope you're right. We lost a lot defensively which was what made our team. A lot of your sophomores played varsity last year yet your JV beat us. We may have a transfer WR that may help but not the number of athletes you have on offense. It's obvious you didn't see our spring.

I think you guys are better than you think.  Give Joe Gaddis a little credit.  I've kept up with Oak Ridge since I've been back. Every Off-season it seems the expectations of Oak Ridge has hit an all time bottom.  Look back each year and some of you state valid points for the demise of Oak Ridge football.  But each year they seem to over achieve.  However I do think they should have been in 2 State Championship games in the last 3 years. Two of the teams they beat went and one won it. Remember 2 years ago when the consensus was they would go 5-5 or even 4-6. But you guys went to a new offense and was able to still throw for over 1500 yards in a flexbone. Had multiple runners to run over 800 yards (Graham (fr.) and #6) Last year no one would have thought they would been undefeated after their first 5 games.  Give them a little credit.  We are very critical of Coach Jones too but they have turned into a pretty good program at HVA.

OR had no business winning a state title recently. The QB and OL positions must be very good for that happen. Plus the OR defense was POOR last year

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
