Got-No-Game

Evidently there is a rule in Volleyball - this happened a few years ago.

"Hauler Hopping" great!! Yes - Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

I always thought they should have done a spin-off with Jake in the Army. Kind of like a modern Gomer Pyle.

I would like to see Zimmer in the head coach role at Minnesota on Hard Knocks.

Beautiful Norris Lake or Lake Cumberland.

Mart Smith Tweeted "DA: Kevin Ward was under the influence of marijuana." and "DA says toxicology evidence shows that marijuana in Kevin Ward's system was enough to impair judgment" I think that should have been released earlier.

I have a group 6-10 people that go over and tailgate. When everyone starts into the stadium we drive to my home and watch the game on my deck outside. Fire up the grill, play cornhole, drink cheap beer (that taste exactly the same as the $9.00 beers at PBS). At my house we are even permitted to drink after the 3rd quarter and beyond! I also have 2 TV's so we can watch the Red Zone Channel to keep up with the rest of the league. I have yet to witness a fight or put up with other obnoxious fans, I don't get searched, I don't need a JERK line, I don't have to wait in line for the bathroom, my food is much better and cheaper, parking is free, we are "kid friendly" and I don't have to wait in traffic. I, for one, think that the modern stadiums are too big. With the "home experience" so much better than the "game experience" I don't understand why people go to the games.

There might be a "Sam Rule" just like the "Rooney Rule" in place.

I was also surprised by the lack of betting windows and self serve tote machines. I was told they are looking towards the future when more and more people use their tablets, cell phones etc.. to bet. That's what I do, I use an on-line account and bet on the mobile site on my phone.

I also went Saturday - had great luck with the ponies - terrible luck in the Casino. If something doesn't happen with the Casino laws in KY, Turfway is doomed! I thought the place was great!

Don't lock the doors on Turfway just yet - we are only a couple years removed from Animal Kingdom winning the Spiral and it is a popular track for bettors across the country (OTB, TVG, On-Line etc.). The facilities definitely needs some attention, specifically the restrooms, but there is still a market for a track like Turfway. The place has good crowds on the weekends and the OTB is always packed. I believe that it is inevitable that some form of expanded gambling will pass the narrow minded KY legislature eventually and if Turfway can limp along until then they will survive. On that note, the window is closing quickly.

I vote 2005-2008. The 2008 is one of the best team in NCC history. They beat a Simon Kenton team (37-15) that went to the 6A Championship game. Beat a Beechwood team (31-20) that won the 1A State Championship. Lost to CovCath on a last second “fluke” catch and lost the state finial to a very special Fort Campbell team on a last minute trick play. They were 2 plays away from an undefeated championship season with tough competition.

A friend of mine posted this on Facebook: "There is a guy standing by the the on ramp to 471 S near Moock Rd. with a sign that reads:"4 black thugs loose in Ft. Thomas" He had 2 cops talking to him so he might not be there long.

These fine upstanding citizens are from the wonderful new housing development on Mock Rd. in Wilder / Southgate. I will not allow my daughter to walk home from school from St. Therese because of this and it is not going to get better anytime soon!

That 2009 team had one of the toughest schedules that Newcath has had over the past 10 years! How I judge a coach is - has the team won a game in which ther were not supposed to win? I don't think that in coach Evistion's 3 years they did win a game that they were an underdog, I know they lost a few when they were the favorite. Not a knock on Coach Eviston, I think he did a great job and my boys are better men for having played for him, but I don't think he belongs on a pedestal either. Coach Lyons would be a huge mistake as head coach!!
