Yes they were there.  Like I said, there are other factors involved, and  you may just get what you want.  

I'll tell you what I want...I want players on the team who WANT to be on the team. I hope those two guys want to be on the team for their own sake. If they make the team better, then that's great. But I can't imagine a player making a major impact on any sports team if he isn't even sure that he wants to play...but that's just me, and according to you, I'm sure that I must be wrong.

Again, there are other factors involved.  Never said you were wrong.  You are welcome to you're opinion.  Everybody has one.  People can have differences of opinion and agree to disagree.   I'm done. It's this kind of bs that is killing the T.  

OK, you're done but I'm NOT done. I'm "killing the T" because I think a couple of middle school players should be more influenced to play high school football by the size of the crowd at ORHS football games than by the size of the crowds at their middle school games. And I'm "killing the T" because it's my opinion (that you said I was welcome to) that I prefer to have players on a sports team who actually WANT to play and be on the team.  Both positions make good sense to me and if that's "killing the T", then the "T" was in bad shape to begin with....

Two points...

CoachT.com is still alive and kicking. We all are CoachT and we all decide what direction we take the Message Boards. Sometimes I post good information and other times I post messages I wish I hadn't. 

I for one want any talented athlete to play for Oak Ridge in the 9th, 10th, 11th and/or 12th grade. Some kids may not be sure they want to play football because they love basketball, track, soccer or baseball more and feel they could get a scholarship in one of these other sports.

Some kids may want to focus on academics. Some kids like #6 wanted to focus on music during his junior year and then decided to play this year.

This really isn't a black and white issue. I feel people will have to agree to disagree about this. Except EVERYBODY should agree that I am right. KIDDING! :lol:

Well I agree with all three of you, kids should like the "roar" of a big crowd but if that's all they're coming out for they won't last long. And there are always things that we don't know in a kids life. I want them all to come out and play for the Cats but that ain't gonna happen. And I don't think any one of us will ever be able to kill the T! It'll go on in spite of what all  we say among ourselves. Or to each other for that matter.

So says PaPa Bounder as Minnie said "I'm done talking now"

    • 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.
