MONDAY MORNING QUARTERBACK: Fell for it like a rookie

ASHLAND — You’d think after six years of covering Kentucky high school football, I would stop making rookie mistakes.

 

But even the veterans were jolted by this one.

 

Johnson Central had disposed of every team on its schedule by 22 or more points this season. It consistently churned out two or three 100-yard rushers behind a dominant offensive line, threw in a few nice pass plays here and there and presented a rock-solid case on defense. The Golden Eagles appeared untameable.

 

But, like a Bluegrass broken record, another mighty foe from the Greater Cincinnati area prevailed in an all-too-familiar tune for teams in this part of the state.

I hope Aaron falling on his sword will suffice the CovCath posters that were just a little miffed by the Ashland sports predictions. LOL

I would hope so, he took it like a man.

Here's my favorite quote:

“We want this bad,” said senior Nevan Johnson. “It’s our time to take our regional championship and make school history.”

I like this one as well:

 

How will Raceland’s widespread experience and size up front fare against the speedy Panthers of Pikeville? Time will tell, but one thing is for sure: These Rams are motivated to become the football program’s first region winner.

That's not Manfred Mann he quotes. It's Bruce Springsteen.

I think you are mistaken.

You are wrong, my friend.

Nope, the two of you are.

Trust me on this.

You are wrong, my friend.

 

Blinded by the Light was written by Bruce Springsteen. It's been performed by several, including both parties listed. But if you quote the lyrics, you are quoting Springsteen.

If he quoted the lyrics as changed by Manfred Mann isn't he then quoting Manfred Mann?

Dont be too tough on yourself Aaron...Hey, even Pete Rose struck out once and still sprinted to first base...:thumb:

I thought that the original lyrics (Springsteen) were changed somewhat when done by Mann? If I am wrong, I stand corrected and I apologize.

This was my thought.

I am glad this thread hasn't strayed from the topic.
