I've been wearing this out lately. Heard it on the radio a couple of times and the DJ said it had regained popularity because it was used in the final scene of Breaking Bad. Great song!

Just got in from seeing it. I liked it. Liked how he interwove the three stories. It isn't a blood and guts war movie, but it seemed to stay fairly true to the actual event. I'd recommend you see it.

Looks like this former Miss Kentucky has...gone to pot! Thank you, I'll be here all week!

I can't believe I'm just now seeing this thread. I got 48/58 (minor complaint: Muhlenberg County was spelled wrong on the quiz, which cost me one!) :lol2:

I know there are a few questions, but I think Paintsville can be really good. The biggest challenge for the Tigers is taking the next step: second round loss in 2013, regional final loss in 2014, state semifinal losses in 2015 and 2016.

It works reasonably well for 6A because the schools are almost all located in one of three areas. In the other classes the locations are just too far apart for it to be effective.

Potential first round games: Floyd Central at Central Waggener at Lawrence County Henry County at Belfry Pike County Central at Bardstown How is this better?

Those old days were tough! Lloyd Memorial (Sub-District 1) and Newport (Sub-District 2) made it, Covington Catholic and Highlands (7-4) missed out.

Loved this book. Read it a few years ago.

The "TIGERS" across the back is too busy for my taste but I like the P logo on the side.

I'd go for a slightly larger dog on the helmet (it has always been small, though), but this is a great look.

From my records, it appears they started playing football in 1972 and have had seven winning seasons during that stretch (they also had a handful of .500 records). The best season was 1984 when they went undefeated and won their sub-district before bowing to Pikeville, 46-22, in the first round of the playoffs. That was actually the closest playoff game they've ever played. To this point, the Hornets are 0-14 in the playoffs with an average...

They'll do what they've done in the past concerning cross bracketing if regional finalists are both the same seed: Odd years, the odd district hosts. If both districts are odd or even, the low numbered district would host. Even years, the even district hosts. If both districts are even or odd, the high numbered district would host.

Our high school girls team has had a mask on every infielder for some time now. I really can't imagine a situation where they wouldn't wear a mask.

Yes Yes. On the chart you'll see the regions are designated. In odd years, 2 is at 1, 4 is at 3. In even years it is reversed.

That's a rosy remembrance, but in reality there have regularly been transfers at high (and medium and low) level schools since the beginning of the sport. It has happened in eastern Kentucky, central Kentucky, northern Kentucky, Louisville, and western Kentucky. We love the thought of Carr Creek and Milan, but those have long been the exception rather than the rule.

Good point, although the dates are relevant here. They haven't played Dayton since 1977 and Bellevue since 1981, a time period in which both schools were at or near their peak, while Covington Catholic was just emerging. Similar with Lloyd Memorial, having not played since 1990. On the flip side, they've regularly played Beechwood, and while the Beechies are always good, the CovCath teams were usually bigger and better.

5A and 6A already were. 2A, 3A, and 4A are starting this season.

My guess: First, this is only going to be a two-year problem; the next alignment will fix it. Second, District 2 only has three teams (Central Hardin, Meade County, North Hardin). District 1 has five teams. Currently, the fifth place team in D1 slides into the four spot in D2. I suspect the fifth place team in D1 will take that spot one year and the fifth place team in D7 taking it the other. Each season, the opposite team will miss...

It is unreasonable to expect preseason computer ratings. That's basically an oxymoron.

I've actually never seen the movie. Book was very good (was on the bottom shelf at our public library). I plan to watch the movie now.

Wow, his sister and father had both previously been killed by gunfire. So terribly sad.
