Apart from the occasional beef with yours truly, it’s a pretty respectable fan base. Can’t say the same for that annoying Bradley program that wants to give us a second by second play by play about their recruits… Can't speak for all Oakland fans, but my father started taking me to Oakland games when we were pretty bad, getting our teeth kicked in by Riverdale on a annual basis. I didn't see a Oakland team in a playoff game until my 8th season as a fan , so that can humble you a little bit. I hope Oakland's dominance lasts for a long time but as we've seen with Riverdale and Maryville, no dynasty lasts forever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just enjoy seeing what others thoughts are....most of the time ! No need to ask for my pardon! I appreciate you firing a shot. Not much traffic on here for the Boro schools - Blackman and Riverdale folks have all evaporated, the others had a thin following. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol....exactly. I'm a Oakland homer big time but nothing to see here. Business as usual on Patriot Drive. And to clarify my statement. I don't really think that Oakland will cruise through the playoffs without some serious competion from other teams. It's just that so far they haven't had to play any of those. Looking forward to the Riverdale game and playoffs. I'm sure it will get more interesting then.

Maryville's run def lasted longer/better but 9 trips to the title game in 15 years is worth mentioning 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinBuck Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 The butt whooping they took in Indiana has shut them up some, but they are still the best public school team in TN this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Speaking of Oakland, I have heard that Tom Nolan (former principal of RHS) has been vocal as to what Riverdale is going to do with Oakland. I think an expletive was mentioned with a statement...."It feels like 2004." Can't wait to see this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think most fans understand how hard it us until their own team goes on a similar run. Their run of consecutive semifinal trips will be hard to match at the 5A/6A level 2 minutes ago, Augustus said: Speaking of Oakland, I have heard that Tom Nolan (former principal of RHS) has been vocal as to what Riverdale is going to do with Oakland.

I do think Riverdale is capable of beating Oakland, but their nowhere near what they were in 2004. I do think it's the best all around team they've had in at least a decade. The atmosphere in Week 11 should be electric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisburr Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Until someone dethrones them Oakland is still the Team to beat and best in the State Granted this season will be their hardest and toughest path to a title but they are still the best team in the state until otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidTennFootball Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Congrats to Safety Craig Tutt on his first FBS offer from Vanderbilt, should be the first of many. Was real glad to see Jordan James play well against Washington today (11 carries for 63 yards and TD) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
