Like I said, is this not what the message board is for? To discuss things like this? Why would you not do it on here? You said you get the benefit of body language and immediate answers, reactions, etc., but isn't it like that with every debate on here?

 

 

 

So I was ignorant of the situation, so I asked questions, and that's bad? Isn't that how you cure ignorance? Please explain that to me.

 

Hard to argue with that.

Hard to argue with that.

 

Once again, so I asked questions, which no one has been able to answer besides with sarcasm, so doesn't that make them ignorant, too? At least I'm trying to become more knowledgable about the situation.

 

By the way, quick question for mods: I was suspended a long time ago because someone posted that I knew nothing about drinking and driving, which I responded was an ignorant comment, but that's legal for people to do now?

I think plenty of people have answered your questions you just don't want to hear them!!

Once again, no they haven't. Not in this thread.

 

One or two people have said that BW needs time to get make his mark, but things were already established, so I don't see that as much of a reasoning.

 

Most people have just offered sarcastic comments or just posted things to avoid the question altogether.

 

Why wouldn't I want to hear real answers to a question I asked?

Have you ever seen the movie Groundhogs Day? Lol

Your answers are on post 172. See if you like those answers better.

 

It would be real simple to just meet and discuss. I'll buy first two rounds!

 

But while I have you...since this is a discussion, you tell us what you think it is. We've given you our opinions and discussed our thoughts. (whether you like the answers or not) How about you? What do you think the issue is? You must have some opinion. You must have something to add to the discussion, right?

 

Have you defined downfall yet? You can start there.

Then, why do you care so much?

What do you think HHS needs to do to get out of their downward spiral?

Do you think they will ever get back to the top or are state championships over in the FORT?

Do you feel there are issues with the feeder program?

Do you feel everyone has just caught up?

Depth of talent through multiple classes has dropped off. Also the few games I saw the past two years there didn't seem to be the kick butt attitude on defense that was once there.

He won't believe you! LOL

I think a total downfall example would be Iroquois girl's basketball. The Highlands deal is more a blip on the radar. Simply havent had the hosses, but that wont last for long.

Maybe you missed the part where I said "only sarcastic replies have been given."

 

Why are you do afraid to answer if nothing it's so easy?

Once again, this is a message board, which discussing these topics is exactly what it is for.

 

Stop dancing around the topic and discuss. We can meet for drinks after you do.

 

By the way, why do you only do that with this topic?

 

But while I have you...since this is a discussion, you tell us what you think it is. We've given you our opinions and discussed our thoughts. (whether you like the answers or not)

Some people have given BW needing to get used to it as a reason, and Cowboy gave the no star QB as a reason, and a few people have given talent falling off (which then I'd ask how that happened when everyone boasts about the feeder system and also how Highlands two-platooned and was at least 3 quality players deep at each position), maybe a few other opinions, which I've been reading and trying to put them all together, which is why I started the thread.

 

Your reasoning was "no downfall, just two off years."

 

 

How about you? What do you think the issue is? You must have some opinion. You must have something to add to the discussion, right?

I really don't know, which is probably why I started the thread.

 

No elite quarterback could make sense, but you don't really need an elite QB in Highlands' system, just someone who can throw decently (so it seems). Also, why would you need players going both ways?

 

That lends some weight to maybe the talent drop-off theory, but I find that hard to believe when the feeder system has been praised and they have had so much depth in the past.

 

Other schools improving really doesn't make much sense because they've always dominated even the best of teams.

 

So I'm not sure, which, once again, is why I started the thread.

 

Have you defined downfall yet? You can start there.

Earlier.

Then, why do you care so much?

This forum is for discussing Highlands' football, but we're only allowed to discuss it when they're good?

 

They are CovCath's biggest rival, so obviously their football program has an impact on my interests.

What do you think HHS needs to do to get out of their downward spiral?

I have no clue, which, as you'll see below, is one reason why I started the thread.

Do you think they will ever get back to the top or are state championships over in the FORT?

Not sure. That's another reason why I asked. Not only back to state titles, but will they ever get back to blowing teams out in one-loss seasons?

Do you feel there are issues with the feeder program?

I don't know anything about it, but people always pointed to that as a reason for Highlands' success, so is that a (or the) reason for Highlands' struggles?

Do you feel everyone has just caught up?

 

I think other teams might have improved, but Highlands was always a well-oiled machine and they would have improved while other teams were improving, so I'm not sure.

 

Do you think other teams have? Are you saying Highlands is no longer in a class by themselves?

Depth of talent through multiple classes has dropped off. Also the few games I saw the past two years there didn't seem to be the kick butt attitude on defense that was once there.

Why has depth dropped-off? Just not strong classes or feeder program faltering or what?

 

Does the defense not having that attitude reflect the players more or BW more?

 

They never seemed to need much defense because the offense scored so much.

He won't believe you! LOL

 

He offered something real.

 

Take notes.

I haven't skated around any answers. I have answered all these in depth about 10 times on BGP. Others have answered you in this thread and I agree with all of them. You just don't like the answers. I'm not sure what else to say at this point. If you have things you'd really like more details, I will do what I can.

I read this entire thread and will take a couple of important things from this experience a) although it did provide a couple of lol moments, it is time that I will never get back b) Groundhog day is a very good analogy of its content but I prefer the dog analogies so here goes........in the spirit of Old Yeller, can someone please put this thread out of its misery!

The reason for talent drop off? I can't tell you for sure because I don't know it could be for various reasons such as closing outside enrollment, just a natural dip in talent... I really don't know.

 

No way do I think the defensive lack of attitude was due to BW unless he has changed how he coaches. Players used to be terrified when coach Mueller would rarely have to miss a practice and coach W would take over for the day because you never knew what kind of hell you were going to be put through. I do think Coach meadows attitude is missed on the defensive side of the ball (now coaching at Campbell County) he always could light a fire under players.

How long has meadows been gone? Did he leave on his own?
