I'm not sure I have ever seen worse coaching from DB in my life 

Could it be GC is up in the press box "helping out" with play calling? That game tonight had GC written all over it.

Very proud of the fight our cats showed tonight.Nobody gave them much of a shot but they have great chance to win if not for the fumble on the punt after the safety.Man those refs need to go on somewhere.Another big ups to our defense for playing big.Great game for 7.Im really hate the offense went back to being confused again.They showed a lot of growth last week and took a step back this week.People see our record and assume we are not very good but forget the sch we play.This team can play wit anybody if not getting in their own way.

What do you expect WJ?  GC trained him. But one thing seems to me to be missing though. Coach is not prone to go conservative once he gets comfortably ahead like GC always did.

I don't know that last drive before the ball went over the punters head looked pretty conservative to me. That could have easily been 6 the other way. If they had went for it on fourth down and not made it Oak Ridge would actually had worse field position. Also if the Oak Ridge receiver hadn't dropped that wide open pass with less than a minute left that most likely would have been 6. Then there was the TD in the first quarter that got called back because a block in the back by a player 20 yards behind the ball carrier. It's week 9 and we're making mistakes you wouldn't see in the pee wee leagues. There was some high spots in the game but dang. I thought both teams played like it was the first game of the season.

First time I've seen a team get a "Con Graduations" for losing a game.

Lol, no kidding. I agree, both teams looked unfocused as all get out, but that has been a recurring theme all year for OR. An extremely sloppy game by both teams. Like you said, making mistakes you see teams make in the first few games of the season.

That was one of the ugliest games I've ever watched... But a win's a win. 

Take it and move on. Hope the Wildcat faithful have a safe trip back down to the OR. 

Have to admit, a lot of focus from folks in the crowd tonight was not on the game but of the situation unfolding at the Musket Bowl once word started circulating what happened. At least where I was sitting anyway.

Oh no, what happened? Congratulations to DB, BTW. Forgot to say that.

A skydiver's parachute appeared to fail as the diver was approaching the field.  He missed the field entirely and landed on the track surrounding the field.  As of 40 minutes ago, WVLT in Knoxville is reporting he passed away.  Just a terrible tragedy.  Luckily WCYB's Friday Night Rivals TV coverage cut away from the skydiver before impact, but a video from the stands did emerge on Twitter... it was every bit as bad as you could imagine.  I understand videoing something like that as it's not every day you see skydivers at a high school football game, but posting it to social media is not cool.  Just praying for everyone there who saw it in person and of course for the family of the diver.

That’s so sad for the family and all who witnessed it. I’m really sorry.

Awful.
