Graybeard Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hey Graybeard. How does the QB situation look? I’m not ignoring you Fball – but I don’t think it is appropriate for me to comment. I’m sure that the coaches will do what is best for the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrambler Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Or anyone with an appreciation and respect for the past, and the achievements of those who worked hard. Regardless of how long ago something happened it is important to remember, recognize, and take pride in any achievement. To often in today's society achievements of previous generations are overlooked by the "what have you done for me lately" syndrome. Kentuckians take pride in 7 NCAA Men's Basketball Championships, regardless of the fact that only 2 of those have come within the last 28 years. The fact that some people are able to take pride in a long standing history of achievement is something that a lot of people in today's world could learn and benefit from. Thank you and goodnight. :thumb: :thumb: Very well stated GIAT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-CAT4LIFE Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 No, nausea was the correct word. I never said that Ashland did not "help carry that NEKY flag". I have great respect for the coaches and players at Ashland. It is some fans that give me a sour stomach. All schools have those fans. No need to single Ashland out.

oldrambler Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I do believe envy was the correct word. We all hear how Russell has dominated this series, while winning 4 of the last 7 and 20 of the 50 of the games played between these two schools. These numbers suggest to me that Ashland is helping to carry that NEKY flag as well as anybody in this area. :thumb: :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountyPride Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 All schools have those fans. No need to single Ashland out. Some teams just have more of them:thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterbob Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Now we have Raceland joining Ashland in putting the squeeze on Russell. However, Russell still has bragging rights in light of its Class AA State Championship. The right to brag comes from performance on the playing field and not with BGP posts. Advantage: Russell.

Jericho51 Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 :thumb: Very well said!! Without the past there is no future. A player today (or a fan) should respect what the players before them have accomplished, they have laid the groundwork, so to speak. I can not think of any instance where a player or fan should forget what the Pride & Tradition of their respective program means. Most that are negative toward another program are speaking with envy!!! :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewDog Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 Not to be buttin' into your thread, but where's the articulate and beautiful (when you peel the cobwebs away) Aunt Bea this year? I want to buy the lovely old hag an Ensure when you come to Paintsville this fall. If she's done passed on, could you do the Weekend At Bernie's thing?

FBALL Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 All schools have those fans. No need to single Ashland out. I never said it was only Ashland that had those fans. Every school has them. Actually that comment was directed at a fan of another school. By the way. Still looking for some info on the Tomcats QB situation. Personally I think it would be more beneficial if Mahan could handle the QB duties and allow your most experienced and best reciever to do what he does best.

Or maybe you haven't won anything in a while and that's all you got. How can you even talk about Kentucky in this, UK won 2 titles less than 10 years ago. I think I would talk about Ashland's 90' championship before I'd say anything about the 20's. Yea, take pride in it but don't act like because those titles happened back then you have a great program. You have a great program because of what you've done lately, you may not like it but that's the way it is. Tradition does not mean your program is great forever.

Your opinion on this subject has nothing to do with how I've felt, feel, or will feel about my Tomcats. Thanks for your input, but it is basically meaningless to me. :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
