Courier Journal has determined that subscriptions are down significantly throughout the Commonwealth and have taken the following measure to increase revenue in markets where they have poor visability as a publication. OK => Im joking but it all sounds good!!!!!

 

Just some quick comments about the LIT Ratings. They do not hold much value and their is a subjective element that is NOT computer generated that goes into the rankings. Of course this is no big deal but I do laugh about it several times a year. Case and point: the CJ has issued the rankings for at least ~45 years and have always given the disclaimer:"The Litratings do not factor games against out-of-state opponents." Several years ago (maybe 2, 3 or 4) the first LIT Ratings had Trinity at No. 1 and they had not played a KY opponent for the first several weeks of the season!!!! Chew on that for a while!!!!! Funny, Funny!!!

 

As it appeares in the CJ:

 

Here are the first edition of The Courier-Journal’s high school football Litkenhous Ratings. The Litratings do not factor games against out-of-state opponents.

I have seen gorillas at the zoo fling feces against the wall that made more sense than these

When was the last time Highlands was NOT in the top 20?

SK should be in front X in every poll.

Well, this isn't a poll, so...

This list does not merit discussion.

When was the last time Highlands was NOT in the top 20?

 

When was the last time Highlands played with a running clock.....and they were losing?

Appreciate seeing my class A Pikeville Panthers at the top. However, I don't by it.

T is trying to remain the underdog for the X game.

I'm surprised Mickey Mouse didn't get any respect, isn't Goofy coaching that team now?

Nice to see CovCath having a good season and in at #4 .
