I see here on BGP a lot of polls like 1. Top three QBs in Northern KY., 2. NKY top 10 teams....

 

Seems to me that this folks have asperations to be no. 1 in NKY only!!! If one would broaden the scope of their poll, one might get to see really where they rank. No offense to any one or any team. This type of thinking may lay the ground work for being no. 1 in NKY but no. 2 in the state??? Just sayin, sounds kinda YMCA'ish to me. I think NKY teams would be better to compare themselves to the rest of the state to know where they are and were they need to go. Any thoughts???

^Point well taken.

Good point but more often than not it's just a conversation attempt for people who know a bit about the area but don't know much about the rest of the state. Lots of members from NKY. If I know about multiple schools in the area and am familiar with many different players, it's a lot more fun for me to participate in that conversation than about someone in Western KY that I've never heard of and will probably never see play. Everyone knows by limiting it you're not getting the full picture. There is time enough for those polls at the end of the year when everyone reviews the all state teams.

Seems to me you just volunteered to go visit each area newspapers and get the information (you could go to the KHSAA scoreboard web site but a lot of schools don't post their stats) and then make up a list.

 

Seems like a lot of work and I am sure it is but since your concerned about the

YMCA's ish stuff it's for you to do!

 

Thanks and I am looking forward to reading it each and every week!

You may have missed the point. Stats are good. Rankings are good (the last week of the season). If one is going to compare, compare against all in class (A, AA, AAA etc) and not in particular region. Seems it may send the wrong message to the younger players that being no. 1 in NKY is the one and only goal. While that is a major accomplishment, I doubt that it is the ultimate goal of many programs. In general, the NKY folks give a lot of heat to the Lousiville teams (justified) and vise versa. Seems that their are a number of programs in NKY that want to be No. 1 in KY. Not sure those school hang their hats on being No. 1, 2 or 3 in NKY. Maybe I'm seeing it wrong! Just wish programs would have the vision to overachieve. Great things can happen when that is a significant part of the mental preparation for the young athletes.

I have to agree, I have often wanted to add some players to the threads posted, but saw that the topic was limited to one area. No, I don't know about every player in every school, but as far as the discussion goes, there are members of BGP from all over the state that could add some player from their area and we ALL could learn about some players we may not know much about.

Then we would be accused of thread jacking.

Just another day at the office then.

Those who wish to can always start a state wide thread.

Pure unadulterated crap.

As the poster stated, then start your own thread about your area stats leaders. Seem we in NKy have a easy way to do this, does your area? If so post them!

Yep, we can do that. ?

Sorry long day.....:isurrender:

I think it is just that BGP has more readers from NKY than anywhere else and the interest and competition among their backyard rivalries results in more localized discussions. Personally, I almost always skip over such threads since I am not in the know and they do not interest me.
