Hey, this was an educational moment for all of us. Where else can you start talking about football and end with a music history lesson? We are well rounded individuals. lol

"So, I admit it. I was blinded by the light (revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night; Manfred Mann, 1976)."

 

Although originally written and performed by Springsteen, he does quote the Manfred Mann variation of the lyric. Springsteen sang "cut loose like a deuce", MM sang "revved up like a deuce."

 

"Here’s my new prediction: Highlands will roll to its seventh straight state championship.

 

According to MaxPreps, such a streak would be the longest ever in American high school football."

 

I started a thread just about a year ago that asked what the record was for most consecutive state championships for a football team. The answer, according to the National Federation of High School Associations was 22.

Not sure, but perhaps he was speaking of "active" win streaks.

I figured 7 couldn't be the record because didn't that California school win something like 150 straight games? That would have to be 10 at a minimum.

Maybe that's what he meant, but if you write "longest ever", there's only one interpretation...

Was not aware of the change in lyrics, albeit small, but even one word changes things. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Springsteen inked the original, but it appears the quoted was from Mann. SidelineDoc and Ram were correct. Note to self, don't spend too much time trying to be smarter than someone who has Doc in their username.

How on earth do you get him calling Covington Catholic a select team just by him saying "Greater Cincinnati". Everyone one I know from NKY refers to themselves as living in Cincinnati. Hell, the Cincinnati Airport is in NKY.

That is where you are wrong. You don't know me and I never tell people I'm from Cincinnati. Nothing good comes from Ohio! Lol!

BTW CVG= Covington!!! And back in the day when I happened to fly in and out of CVG a lot, every time I had a flight attendant telling everybody we are landing in Cincinnati, I would remind her that indeed we were landing in Boone County, Kentucky!

We agree on something! :dancingpa

 

I too am from Northern Kentucky and only when I am ask where that is, do I say across the River from Cincinnati! :thumb:
