LOD was a good man. He loved football, more particular the Riverdale Warriors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southtowner Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 RIP LOD. My prayers and condolences to his family and friends. I've read many of his posts on here thru the years and my take on LOD is he was a straight shooter. Loved his Riverdale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounder Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Mike was a good friend, first met him when Oak Ridge played Riverdale in the playoffs, we became friends and carried it on to CoachT. MJGoldenBears LOD could and did give as good or better than he got! He was a GOOD Guy and I'm gonna miss him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very unfortunate for the Riverdale community. He was by far their biggest supporter on here. RIP brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a little confirmation saying the same thing... Interesting pick. Thought he was a good coach at MTCS curious how that will translate at this level..... Bigger question is as much misdirection and razzle dazzle as I saw on Friday, are they going get someone working with the receivers on catching a ball.... way too many dropped catchable passes...

Red Rebels Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 I hate to hear about Mike Skidmore. I liked to refer to him as Mean Ole Cuss, but that was a term of endearment. Prayers for his family. RIP Lost Old Dad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PiRaTe._.MiKe Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 Listen folks, I just had a great conversation with CCT yesterday at my best friends wedding. I think what some of you old timers are maybe taken aback by his young age, but I assure you he is very much experienced in what it will take to keep the Blaze a top contender. It’s not gonna happen overnight, but I know he will give it 1000% to try! He has ideas that will blow your mind. The keys to his success are finding the best 40 players that can sub in at any time at multiple positions if needed yet not miss a beat, also finding the right assistant coaches which from what he said he believes he now has that (at least 95% and Mathers plays a HUGE role) with maybe 1-2 more to go, and he is a firm believer that the backing by the community will help the Blaze find continued success in the win column but more importantly in developing young men. Give him a chance and believe in what he is doing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for those who root for other programs in the county (Riverdale), we look forward competing against him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
