Generally speaking I would say that I'm not sure...but last Friday night...yes

Not much more they could do with our OL against that front 7 and our top four receivers on the sideline.  My thought leaving there was that executing the 2 minute drill  at the end there gave us a chance to win. Good play call, good throw, but  the freshman didn't come down with it.  But we were in position to win the game.  I was proud of the coaches and players for that.

Other schools have added Mcdonalds ad's to their fields. Why not a face? Waiting for Oak Ridge to add a name on the field as well to pay tribute.

Old age must be getting to you, GD. It’s ok, it happens to the best of us bud.

Be careful what you wish for. Some people can still coach into their later years. Never say never.

The execution of the two minute drill at the end was very good! Every team deals with injuries so that can always be an excuse, although ours are very numerous. Even without a few of our top players, I felt like we had the superior talent and therefore should have won the game. I was very happy to see a major reduction in penalties. OR will defeat Clinton

Just wait till the cooler weather comes on and Davey starts wearing that letterman’s jacket from ‘94. If AC is unbeatable now, they most certainly will be then.

If you want it so bad then stop refusing to play us.

Oak Ridge will play next year.  Get your AD GT to call our AD JG and get it done.  Oak Ridge will play AC next year for sure, no question.

I’m not refusing to play anyone, I’m merely a fan. I couldn’t care less if the 2 teams play. Actually, I’d rather not because that moo sound gets really old after hearing it for the 6,009th time during a game.

Not trying to argue Cats, just for discussion.  question:  you thought we had superior talent on the field last friday?  (I'm talking about on the field, not on the roster) If you honestly believe that, then you and I watched two different football games.  Their front seven were huge and experienced.  Our OL has 2 freshmen and a 3rd team tackle.  More talent on the field?  No way.  

I sure hope you are right about Clinton, but seriously, it's a bad time for this matchup.  With our starting secondary on the sideline (yes all four of them) and those stud transfer receivers that Clinton has, not a good matchup for us right now.  Unfortunately there is additional attrition to our OL this week.  It's not good.  I think we can win, but it's gonna be tough.

If we beat them with half our starting lineup on the bench? Yikes. I just don’t see it happening. Honestly, I’m expecting a Clinton win. It’s just that time. Usually happens every 10 years or so. It’s past time actually. I’m already mentally preparing myself.  Haha

I remember good defensive adjustments.I remember a couple of great plays calls that should've been TDs if  executed.Considering it's a new staff, still implementing a whole new system, I think we are ahead of schedule.Not to mention we are having to adjust for key injuries every week.I don't know how anyone could not be super excited for the improvements we have made from last year already.

Oh yeah, he’ll be the next Mayor Of Clinton, no doubt. Maybe he can get Freddy as a running mate?
