I showed my boy tillman, graham, and stevens this board. They collectively said that the best running back list would consist of :

1. Jamie Redmond (if you put him in the I backfield with Cooper at FB and Graham at WR, he would have unreachable numbers)

2. Shawn Summers (Shawn also voted for Redmond)

3. Jacke Pope

4. Shawn Bohannon (said summers or redmond)

5. Cory Booker

6. Alfred Stevens

7. Craig Freeman

8. Doug Stewart

9. Shawn Williams

10.Eric Menefee

honorable mention; Brian Roebuck, Stan Cooper, Dean Nervous Nichols (QB), and also Dewayne Horton (who may have been the best athlete (between him and Roger Wade) to play at Oak Ridge).

I would agree with you on all accounts. I believe that Spencer Gulmire by the time his career ends will be one of the all time greats too. I would add Craig Freeman and Brian Roebuck to that list too. They along with Dean Nichols made up a great backfield during that 1975 State Championship season. Its good to have a positive Oak Ridge poster on here that understands the tradition of this great program.

Hey Jamie Redmond was a great player, and had he been given the opportunity to play In SMOKING JOE'S I formation you might be right. Tillman, Graham, and Stevens are all great friends of mine as well. Spent a great deal of time with Graham in Atlanta at a coaching clinic. When I make My "Greatest receivers" post he'll be #1. He was a Technician with the heart of a lion. The 88 team was what started Oak Ridge back on the championship path and Graham gets a great deal of respest from me for his contributions, and leadership towards the Oak Ridge football program. Oh yeah Toby scored a TD with his eyes closed against Clinton in 88, ask Graham. Lol!!!!

Great posts/Great Tradition/Great players....Any of you guys (or your grandfathers) see Chris Bond (TB) or Tim Grissel (FB) run the single xing? Supporting cast tough, big, complete ALL in 1963!!! Great looking, innovative uniforms for "The Stone Age." ...Got game films vs. DB, '63 (26-0) and '64 (0-13) if you're interested...don't even need 16mm. ...Think Cat's part of my joint pain. B)

    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching stuff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching stuff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure. 
    • This whole situation is bonkers. You don’t just kick your star player off the team just because you heard them say the F word; the coach definitely had something against the player, or somebody definitely did. Also, nobody has brought up the idea that the school blackmailed the college to get the college to withdraw the scholarship offer, not to mention that the coach who kicked her off is no longer even with the program; they were fired. I think this is a pretty easy lawsuit. I don’t know if she should deserve that much money, but I think she should get enough money for a full-ride scholarship if she cannot get one after this situation.
    • Oh yeah, I’m sure you are different people just always on the same thread for some reason, always agreeing with each other, perhaps just a bunch of dorks who would like to ###### and moan about high school football coaches do a lot of other students, so you make a football team and get a yell at them. When they do something wrong, but I’m sure you don’t like that, do you?   and I’m sure I’m aware of where you get information. A teacher who was on the coaching staff but was fired after the new coaching and staff came in and realized he actually had to start taking his assistant job a little bit more seriously than just wanting to make a little extra cash on the side, hardly even showing up to most practices, should’ve left with his buddy to go to Farragut. I’m sure he could get him a defensive coaching job, but I doubt he will be there in three years. Looking at the way Farragut is currently going.
