Lost Old Dad Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 22 hours ago, bounder said: Hey LOD how's it going? Still on the list? Think a lot about you my friend. Still on the list. Insurance will pay for Vanderbilt, but not St T. I told Vandy they were NOT the Gods of medicine for Tn. St T. has its rating but do not give the kickback to the insurance companies Vandy does. So basically I am on hold until the insurance folks come off the dime. I am almost as fed up with insurance companies as I am ALL politicians of every party! What was fun is when they found out I was a 'little' low on blood. Gave me three pints the first time and sent me home for a week, then had to give me 5 pints the second trip. Felt pretty good after the fill up. LOL Thank You for the thoughts Brother! Only real up side is my podiatrist knows and can talk intelligently about European 'football'. He keeps telling me I need to Coach. Told him NO way as the little darlings cannot be talked to harshly anymore. You know I call them like I see them, be it MY team or any other.

I am going out on a limb and say nothing has been done Just need to keep those stairs, so you can run kids up and down it for a reminder to pay attention and play like it. I always though having the kids climb them fast and run a circle around to climb them again would be an excellent conditioning drill.

I actually ran those stairs at the age of 35. Thought I might lose weight. Luckily, I didn't lose my life Go Warriors and Wildcats. RWR!

bounder Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I walked up those 72 steps this past football season and at 74 thought I wasn't going to be able to breath for 1/2 an hour. I hate those darn things but nobody had better try to dig them up, while I'm here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrisk Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 The surface of the moon is smoother than those steps. Maybe just resurface them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing that makes Oak Ridge so special is that the TRADITIONS started in 1943 are alive and well today thanks to guys like Papa Bounder and the rest of the Oak Ridge CoachT.com Wildcats. Also, a new honorary Wildcat fan RW87. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilleTheWildcat Posted February 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Idea! Become the first high school football facility to be equipped with an escalator. I would also like to have Star Trek's Beam Me Up Technology. While we are at it, lets go back in time and place Summers, Gulmire, Tee, Pope, Doug Martin and a motivated big Richard Howard on the same team. Let Armstrong, Gaddis and WillieTheWildcat coach them up. Of course all games will be aired on WATO 1290 by David Clary in his BOOM BIG STIICK heyday.. Replay Saturday at 12 noon with Coach's Corner Wednesday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atrisk Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Went by Blankenship today. Nothing to report. I understand there are so good decaffeinated products in the stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They better meet that date or the 2018 Class of ORHS will be denied the opportunity to walk at the Ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atrisk Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I don't remember Coach Mullin's mentioning any thing about June, but maybe. Plenty of time before the first game. Grass is fine with me. Stadium needs work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t remember if it was the first or the second playoff game, but seeing the embarrassing condition of the field, grass is NOT fine with me. I’m not really a turf guy but our field was awful after rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
