OR and AC are having an off years, they come up every once in a while even to good programs, the combination of injuries, graduation losses, narrow losses on the field can snowball into one of those seasons,  Hopefully they are rare. OR years like that I can remember are: 1972 5-5, 1986 4-6, 1992 5-5, 2008 4-6, 2021 2-7, hopefully 3-7 by Friday. 

Strangely, 2 of those have been the year after a state championship game appearance, which I guess you can allude back to the graduation losses in those instances. The only 2 teams in Tennessee history to just continually reload year after year are Maryville and Alcoa, and Oakland, albeit in a much smaller way so far compared to those 2. Pretty unbelievable what they’ve both accomplished the past 20+ years.

Had a great trip down.  Got my large pizza with extra cheese and pepperoni at Big Ed's before the game.  Talked with several Oak Ridge fans in Big Ed's as well as in the parking lot and at the ticket booth before the game.  Oak Ridge has some great folks.  

Enjoyed the game from the top row of the visitors seats right on the 50.  

Oak Ridge will definitely NOT be making a long playoff run this season.  Both teams looked not very good at all Friday night.  D-B just happened to score a little more to come out with the win.  Going to need to play much better just to even be in the game Friday night against Johnson City, let alone win it.

    • From my understanding, Jay Graham pretty much took over HC responsibilities in that game, so you can thank him. Cute Andy didn’t need help, though. Cute Andy could’ve beaten us without any assistant coaches.
    • Tax payer dollars are paid for certified teachers to "teach" and then coach. The primary job is to teach.  There are some district that ay awesome supplements and others that don't. Dyersburg and Dyer County are pretty close if I remember correctly. I would imagine that Football and basketball are above $10,000 now.  I've heard that Milan is $20,000 for boys basketball. I would imagine that football is more than that in Milan.  Collierville has camps that coaches get paid extra for. 3 camps a year, 100 kids a camp, $30,000 right there.  There are places like Memphis-Shelby County schools where the supplements are garbage even for the head coaches. I made less than $3,000 as the head assistant at Germantown in 2015 when we were 26-4 and one of the best teams in the Southeast. As a head middle school coach next year I will make between $4-5,000 at a municipal in Shelby County.  Coaches should be compensated for the jobs that are required but lets keep in mind that they are educators first.  It's pretty frustrating to other teachers that work their tale off teaching 6-7 classes a day to watch someone roam campus, not teach (or have very minimal responsibilities), and get paid the same (more with supplements) as a person who has the some years of experience or sometimes less. 
    • This will get coaches leaving the profession very quickly if this kid wins this case. This is absurd...
