So your big plan is to throw crap out there about Oak Ridge and hope some people start to believe it? You want people to think Cummings is not doing a good job and having problems.If he wasn't a good coach you wouldn't be investing so much time into trying to bring him down.I just can't imagine being apart of such a laughing stock program but spending my time worried about anything else.You have a culture that is years of losing and beat downs to fix but continue to be infatuated with what SC is doing at Oak Ridge.You and military man need to quit worrying anybody else but Clinton.The purple pounders are coming to Clinton this yr and I wouldn't want y'all to choke on that cupcake again.Eat all your cupcakes and then you might be allowed to speak on a real program and be taken seriously.

Okay, sounds good OR cat...I mean, "Nolenation3"

Wrong YB, I got one screen name.  You know me, why would I pull the screen name thing.  Plus you know I only Coach T between 8:30 and 3:45. C'mon bruh.

OR Spring "Showcase" 5/17

Just curious, anyone attend the showcase? I heard a lot of mixed reviews but then again, it's Spring and not really a scrimmage per se.

Heard this: QBs aren't able to get the ball downfield, at all. Inaccurate and picked off repeatedly.

Offensive plays were basically jump balls and/or throw it down the field as far as you can throw it. Nothing looked tight, basically just a snap and QB standing waiting for someone to get open and massive heave down the field. Maybe a few receptions, more picks than receptions. Stale.

Lots of WRs but really only 3 that can run routes, catch and get up the field. I think we all know the 3 though heard that #17? was playing like it was real game. Smaller than usual but quick and tough.

1 punter who can absolutely boom the ball.

FG kicking wasn't anything to brag about.

Lineman were small aside from 1-2.

LBs were small and slower than usual.

DBs were tough to figure out since every pass was basically a jump ball.

That's about it.

Again, this is all second hand information but from what I gather, based on this info, going to be a very long season.

I don't know who you talked to but I don't agree with much of any of that.  I was there.  You have to remember that none of the guys that ran track were on the field.  Very few starters out there last night.  So, your source may not have known this and their expectations may have been a bit lofty.  The team we see in August will be night and day from what we saw last night.  Heyward and Rodgers were the two that stood out to me.  They both look stronger and faster.  #17 is junior Andrew Fererra.

Again, 2nd hand information.

Expectations were probably higher than normal but QBs making simple passes I guess is a normal expectation?

Track guys...that's right, but isnt that only 2 guys?

Would hope that the team in August is night and day to what I heard about the spring showcase.

Since you were there, can you provide a more accurate assessment?

Is this Cleveland High School all over again?

In all serious, it sounds like Cummings tried to do everything he will not do in the regular season.  Most of his pass game is short play action passes that catch you in the wrong spot, so deep balls seems like he either wanted to keep it vanilla as he can, or work on the things he knows his offense is the worst at... 

If you run the veer, you have to be ready and able to throw it or you get beat all the time but he will use the hundley kid as a HB slot which will be most of his pass game and he was in track.

Heard there was a blend of those short out passes however the QBs failed to deliver on those as well. I think the word is most of the passing plays resulted in the QB standing around looking for someone to get open. Wasnt there but didnt sound very pretty for a pass completion perspective.

Guess losing their returning starter at QB has hurt their progress.

    • Ouch! If he's in the scrap business maybe 
    • That's a nice story but has little to nothing to do with what we're talking about. 
    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
