If you were being sarcastic I apologize. Its just hard to sort through all the crap that's posted by people who know nothing or in 76's case someone that's blinded because he has his head stuck up the anti Johnson Central crowd's rear on here.

 

No worries! I know how stressful it is being a JC fan on here. Trust me we are on the same side.

Behind closed doors, with total anonymity, I wonder how many TCat fans would trade their coach straight up for the JC coach?

 

I wouldn't want Matney on Ashland's sidelines ever. Dude is a really good coach, but has no class.

That's not what happened. They lined up in a double tight formation the entire series and they told the Ashland defense that they will be running a regular play after the two kneel downs. There was no trick play or formation.

Here lies the problem, Czar. With the game clearly won, why not just take a knee again and turn the ball over on downs? No big deal and nothing happens. This bull about working on live kicking practice doesn't fly. He had kicked 3 successful kicks and many PAT's. You can put lipstick, dress and make-up all over it but it's still a pig! Kicking the FG and running plays are not needed. Game was clearly won, no amount of explaining will justify his actions.

Better yet, maybe they should have punted every time they got possession of the ball in the fourth instead of taking a knee? Why didn't you all do the same to Paintsville or to Fairview the past two weeks?

You're comparing

and

So is 32-0 not clearly out of hand? What about 48-6? How is it different with those two but not us in a 42-7 spread? I'd love to hear it.

The concern is not about the point difference, it is about taking a knee, making everyone assume taking a knee is going to continue, then running a play. I'm sure no one would have said a thing if running plays had continued from start to finish, but taking a knee at the end of the game, then running a regular play is poor form. Don't you see that?

What I see is a guy that took two knees trying to run out as much of the remaining clock as possible. Setting up the kicker on the next play for a 40 yard chip shot after he told the defense what play he was running and told the officials that if they broke the score to call the TD back. Simple full back dive, gets housed, refs call it back then attempt the FG. And I'm sure someone would've said something about them punching two TDs in with a running clock instead of kicking the FGs. JC is at a darned if you do, darned if you don't situation.

I know it may seem that way, but to be honest, I have not a single problem with Johnson Central. I just hate for the game to be tarnished by antics. Football gets enough bad press already.

I think it's kinda funny.

Antics? My goodness, like I said earlier we should've just kept the starters in and run it up to 50 or 60-0 and this would've been a non-issue apparently. We kicked two FGs instead of going for TDs after our JV offense was subbed in the game with a running clock and you all act like it is horrible to even try to work on something that can be beneficial. Coach Matney and Coach Love are actually good friends and he was preventing the spread from being much wider. Coach Love had no problem with it so why do you? Taking knees while trying to burn as much time off the clock as possible, telling the officials to call back any TD run, telling the opposing D what play was coming. Yeah that sounds about as classless and trying to run up the score as much as possible as it gets.

 

As for your fan base having a double standard of your team winning by a larger margin when the game is clearly out of hand but chastising others, there is class and then there's...well, it also rhymes with it. I try to be as sensible as possible, hold reasonable discussions with individuals across the state, but this is crazy. You people and your angst towards one program defies logic. Heck, CCH had a running clock on their opponent this weekend and went for two. Where is your outcry for that? If it was a new play that they installed in their repertoire and wanted to put it to use, so be it. People just choose to put JC as the whipping boy and tee off because it is for the greater good of their ego. Minus Boyle and Highlands, Matney has been fairly successful against every team that he has played. He brought a team that used to be a doormat after winning 4 games in 3 years to being in the Top 5 year in and year out in their class. Still can't win the big one everyone says. Well outside of Highlands and Collins miracle run last year, who else has won the thing in JC's class since 2007? No one. Hate away if it makes you feel like you got your big boy pants on, this has about been beat to death by individuals who were not there and have no clue what went on. I'm done with this one.

I really don't see a problem with it.

 

He was trying to get his kid a school record while at the same time essentially milking every second off the clock.

I don't see many Ashland fans actually upset about it. See lots of Raceland and NKY fans upset.

 

Matney has did some low brow stuff before, but this isn't one of them.

Guys, I'm not upset with it. I'm just stating facts. You guys are in the fire, I'm just warming my hands on it. If you want your freshmen to run plays and they score, so be it. But to take a knee is to call off the dogs. A play will run off more time than taking a knee. It doesn't matter if they told the defense what they were doing or if it were announced over the intercom. Either run plays or call off the dogs. Doing what was done is classless. If you play your young guys and you run plays and score, well, that's on the other team to stop them. I do not think the young guys should be scrutinized if they score. They work hard, too. If you can't see that, well, you've been brain washed.....LOL

And if you run plays and it's 4th down and you want to kick a FG, no big deal. It's the way the FG was set up that has everyone talking. To be honest, I really don't know why I am shocked that this was done. Typical Matney.
