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.

 

 

I believe it is Tomcat tradition. With those titles in the 20's and 30's Ashland has a title in every other decade as well with the exception of a few. Not many programs in the state can make a claim like that. Yes, the last title was in 1990, but Ashland has been very competitive over that time frame as well, just a game or two short of playing for the state title several times.

 

Some people on these forums keeps talking about how Ashland people keep bringing up the past, but it's always the outsiders that talk of how Ashland's program is down and it has not carried the NEKY flag ( as one BGP'er referred to Ashland not doing enough of). I believe the program has done as well as any around.

Very good points kick, the Tomcats are usually the first name thought of when people around the state talk about football in our part of the state along with Russell, Raceland (no state titles but I feel that they are respected) and Lawrence Co.. IMO without the past, there is no tradition. I consider Belfry, Pikeville and Paintsville as EKY rather than NEKY, if not you can add those to the list.

All schools have those fans. No need to single Ashland out.

 

True, but not every school has those fans broadcasting their games on the radio...:thumb:

Define the word tradition.

If we wanted to discuss the radio guys I am sure we could have a great debate about the ones calling the Russell games. Have you heard those guys lately?:eek: :confused:

Nobody has since last December. But that was a month after the last Ashland football radio broadcast. Also what station is it that airs Raceland football????

 

By the way, they are terrible.

I wouldn't put them in the "homer" category. They're just not very good at broadcasting HS football.

They do not even know what a homer is. Not only are they not very good, they really are horrible at what they do.

I hate to admit it, but I would rather listen to a Horrible Fair Commentator as a Arrogant Obnoxious one....:thumb:

 

But that is kinda off the subject of the forum, well I guess maybe it isnt because this is a forum of Ashland Football, and whether you like it or not, their Radio Announcer is definetly part of their "Tradition".:thumb:

Does anyone find it interesting that in another thread on this site Marty Brennaman is applauded for being arrogant and obnoxious and the Tomacat announcer is bashed for those qualities.

There could be deeper issues??????????????????????

As bad as Russell's broadcasters are they are imo just stupid and horrible. On another note there is the arrogant, obnoxious and stupid crew that calls the Fairview games . That crew has hit the trifecta.:sssh: :lol: :lol:

They are obnoxious at times and not bashful about who they want to win, but you have to give them credit, when you listen to their game, you can actually tell what is going on and they do understand the game.
