I'm proud tonight. CAVS learned from the Riverdale game. When you have em down don't let em back up, and we didn't. Got Oaktown coming in here next week. No matter the outcome the Patriots will know they've been in a battle. 

No doubt. I think it will turn out to be much like the 2015 game, where Oakland scored late to put a close game out of reach. Offense not nearly as explosive as last yr

As long as Cookville does not have its 'home cooking' refs, Blackman should be able to get the second string in for some playing time before the playoffs.

Looks like Cookeville was the one with the second stringers in there. Guess they need some playing time before the playoffs instead of Blackmon.

Great win Cookeville...but still be careful,,a  2-8 Siegel shut Cookeville out last year...the stars start fast. They just don't finish .stars are playing  spoilers mode. If Cookeville loose to Oakland and Blackman best riverdale and Cookeville loose to Siegel..

Now guess who's in the playoff Siegel  and no one would have saw this strategy coming

So to the expert post all playoffs strategies If

If Blackman lose to riverdale and Siegel beats Cookeville,  I'm assuming Blackman is eliminated.

Dam Master Teague ,,,, we are missing you. Can you play injured..please

Last year’s Oakland team was averaging just over 49 points at this point in the season. This year’s squad is averaging just over 42 points. Minus the 17 point game against Maryville, I’m not sure the ‘not nearly as explosive’ comment is on point. Last year, they had several defensive and special teams TDs as well that they haven’t had this year. IMO, last year’s defense was a little stingier. Not so sure the offense was more explosive, by the numbers.

Oakland had a great 1-2 punch at receiver last year and could truly score at any point. Oakland has an offense that grinds it out more this year with a steady dose of Jeron Rooks. Defense may not have scored much, but theyve created alot of short fields for the offense this season

Numbers may not say it, but in my personal opinion (been watching Oakland football since the not so good early 90s) this offense isn't as good or explosive

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
