Sounds like a stud RB may be hitting the transfer portal as his father calls it.  Ol man grandpa tube socks gaddis already texting around trying to see if they are going to other schools...smh 

Its sad that ol grandpa moth balls gaddis has to reach out to other coaches to see if his own athletes in his athletic department are leaving...

Ole man grandpa tube socks gaddis?  These personal attacks are petty.  You are better than this YB.  But Clinton has that affect on folks.  Hang in there YB, it only gets worse.

I don't see the real issue.  If somebody doesn't want to play at Oak Ridge, then they can take a hike.  We have running backs.  If and when somebody leaves then you have some news.  But as of right now, there's no news.    In fact, what I'm hearing is that we are getting some dudes very soon, not losing them.  Not worried about the ones that don't want to be here.  Oak Ridge will continue to be successful with or without your "stud" running back and his daddy.

I guess the issue would be for guys who actually know the sport pretty well asking themselves why a RB like the one we are speaking about, would want to leave an offense that is easily 70 % run where he could EASILY rush for 1,000 yards next season, is a state qualifier in track does not want to stay at the prestigious OR?  Is it because his dad can't get a job on staff? or is it more that the culture is off?  We have seen what happens to Cummings when he gets to a team(cleveland) with athletes that he should win with and doesn't...

 

Last time he was in this situation he had a MLB that he had to spoon feed to make sure his defense could make a tackle... 

 

Study up OR cat...you come at the king, you best not miss

Like I said king, there's no news.  If a guy leaves then I'm sure you will be the first to inform us, but until then.... If I were the king, I would be more worried about fixing my program than trying to stir up drama at Oak Ridge.   If my team had only 4 region titles in over 100 years of football, I would be concentrating on the dumpster fire that is Clinton football instead of spending all my time trying to get the scoop on Oak Ridge.  Same ole Clinton, YB.  Some things will never change.  What did your boy say, Sucks to suck?

Come on Cat, OR is a semi private school system with its own city schools that hand pick the athletes they want and send the ones they don’t to the other schools in Anderson County  and still struggle to win even after recruiting Knoxville kids to plays. Look at all the other schools around here with that set up and how much they win..Alcoa, Maryville, Greenville and then you all.. a lot has changed since ol grandpa leather helmet Gaddis played ball. I wonder if he will let us use his AARP card for a discount at large edwards next year?

YB, seriously don't understand your obsession and jealousy with Oak Ridge football.  You talk about "rent free" good grief YB. Which Knoxville kids were "recruited" to Oak Ridge?  Hand picked?  Please!  I wish you could identify one of these hand picks for me, because I'm not aware of any.  We have a kid from Central that certainly did not want to leave Central but had to because of an unfortunate family matter.   You are correct about the fact that the game has changed, hence, the coaching change.  OR football has a lifetime lease rent free in your head.  Welcome to Clinton, I realize it must suck there, but c'mon man, concentrate on improving that mess over there.  And don't forget, even in our worst season in history, we hammered the sorry ole Dragoonz.

Oh dear Cat, now you are calling kids goons? I’ve obviously hit a nerve. I just thought what is good for the goose is good for the gander.  It’s obvious name calling is a thing in OR.

Rent free YB,  Rent free.  I didn't think you would fit in with Clinton folk, but this kind of stuff makes me think it might be meant to be.  Good luck with that endeavor.  They say you will get used to all the losing after a while.  Hang in there though.  Here's what Clinton fans have to look forward to.  Those people enjoy an OR loss more than they enjoy there own team squeaking out a single cup cake victory per year against Union Co.  And we will drop some games playing the likes of Farragut, Greeneville, DB, SD etc.  So at least there's that for you.  Rent Free!

What you don't understand is that 95% (If not more) of the schools in TN are opened zoned so are they all semi private schools too?  You can take digs at OR if you have a problem with them but don't start dragging Alcoa, Maryville, or GreenEville in your drama.  Those programs have worked their tail off to get to where they are and weren't always on top.  Lifting program, same system since they started football, Work ethic, and community support will get you there.

    • I’m a middle tn guy so I understand the transferring etc and it don’t bother me. I’ve seen at least 8-10 guys transfer into AC recently. Some with stars and some without. My question is does AC have a nil thing going? Is Anderson county growing? Is this a you build it and they will come thing? Somebody help me out with the East TN thing. 
    • I think you’re referring to Corbin. That year Corbin went 14-2, losing the state championship to Boyle County. I believe Boyle County has been nationally ranked a few times so obviously they’re no trashy team. Corbin doesn’t sound like a bad football team to me, especially being how Boyle County is 12 time state champions and usually barely knocks Corbin out. That year tho I think Boyle beat them by a few but still a state appearance. I also think that Alcoa game went to OT but I’m not quite for sure. Alcoa is a legit program, just take a couple years ago for example, the 32nd best ranked team in New York came down to Alcoa (not quite sure what they were thinking) and got absolutely pummeled 44-6. Alcoa has beat good teams, they’re not playing nobodies. 
    • You haven seen much football if the Blackman vs Bowling Green game u speak of is the worst officiated game you have ever seen.  Everyone on here swears Blackman was cheated, but i just can not agree.  Rewatched it on youtube, and there are a couple Blackman fans near the camera that out to be ashamed of the crap that came out of there mouths.  I dont know much about Blackman, but i didnt get a very good impression of them having much class by there entrance to the field, and instead of running on to there sideline running to the other teams sideline to cut them off when they went to run to there sideline.  Then before much is even happened in the game fans near the camera swearing they are being cheated.  Seemed like a fairly good called game till Blackman started losing there composure.  Embarassing hearing the blacmn fans making fun of someone on the other team possibly getting hurt, and calling players on the other team a dumbass.  The reason they lost thatgame was because they gave that necarious fant kid a 5 yard cushion over, and over, and over, and everytime he would catch it and get another 7 after the catch.  3rd or 4th and 1 lets give the best player on the other team a 5 yard cusion, and let him catch it when we need a stop even though he has gotten 12 yards on that play repeatedly.  Then the last touchdown on 4th down was a completly different play, but great throw, and great route and catch by fant for the last td they did not defend it very well, and it would have been a blackman win if they make that 4th, and long stop, but they didnt cover the best player on the field very well, and he caught it with the closest player 3 yards away from him.  Just give Bowling Green credit for making the plays to win.  We look stupid constantly saying they got cheated.  They straight up got beat, but no shame,bowling Green had a heck of a team.  People just dont want to give any credit to the other team when they are beat especially when its out of state.  Ive talked alot of crap to fans of kentucky teams, but we get ridicilous too often on here.  I remember the Union City fans saying how they would run it down the other teams throat playing a kentucky team.  They claimed we will run it up the middle all night, and those early 3 yard gains will turn into 12 yard gains by the 4th quarter cause thats how we always wear other teams down, and always win.  They proceded to get there #### whooped 2 years in a row then dropped that team from there schedule, and i have to give those kentucky fans credit they called it before the first year they played.  They said we will beat Union City these 2 years, and they will not renew because Union City has done this in the past before.  Went to one of those games, and the other team ran defensive lineman in every few plays, and by the 4th quarter it was union city that was wore out, and there rushing game failed late.  Instead of giving the other team credit for stopping there run game late they cried that we was gassed after bragging that we always gas the other team out by the 4th they couldnt handle that another team smartly threw fresh bodies in most of the night, and kept there starters much fresher for late in the game.  They basically put backups in on half the plays, and settled with giving up alot of yards to keep the 1s fresh for the 4th.  Instead of giving them credit the excuses came well we where gassed if we would have played later in the season we would have won its hot, and early in the year, so thats why we lost its all just excuses.  It aint like there is a rule that says UC couldnt rotate some in on there oline, and rotate a couple running backs so there starters would b fresh for the end.  They got beat because the other team smartly used depth, plus they couldnt stop the other teams offense.  We cant give credit to the other team when we lose we must find an excuse mentality espececially if its an out of state team there is no way anyone from another state in paticular kentucky can be as good or better than us.  After just watching that Blackman game they just straight up got beat.
    • What’s sad Barney is the cards in the deck are stacked against them.  With the success the MAVS are having just down I-75, any talented players are heading that way. I always said what the Price twins did there was second to none, making the playoffs and winning a playoff game is the ceiling there. On a great year, maybe a q-final appearance but that is a big stretch.  Finding a coach there is very tough. I feel for the new coach, he’s in a very bad situation and I’m not sure he even realizes it. I understand he wants to be positive and have hope, but I don’t see them scratching a win. Maybe he will prove me wrong.  
    • I agree, 2A is the only class in thet state where the west side of the bracket is tougher, not taking anything away from Marion county at all but they should run that side for years to come
