Theoldguy Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I have a request... If you own a business in Northern Kentucky and have a message sign out front of your business, how about giving Newport Catholic, Covington Catholic and Ryle some love. If the small towns like Paintsville can do it for their team, why can't we in Northern Kentucky give some backing to the team that represent our area in the State Finals..... Go Breds, Go Colonels, Go Raiders.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theoldguy Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 OK now your pushing it.:sssh: Okay next year, if and I say if, the boys from Ft. Thomas made it this far, I will ask for the same thing....I promise......:thumb: Really, it was so neat driving into Paintsville and seeing sign after sign after sign, cheering on their Eagles... It was really, really neat, and I am sure that in our area we could do the same thing.... Even the fans from the team from Ft. Thomas want the teams from NKy to do well don't you? :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The enthusiasm grows the further they make it in the playoffs. You have to remember, The Fort is a little of the beaten path and we are kind of our own little world over here. It isn't like Cov. Cath. and Ryle folk are driving thru town every day. Now as for NC, there are plenty of NC families and businesses in town that make sure they know who they are and what they are about to accomplish. Go BREDS If The State game was played in the Fort then we may talk, but for now make your own music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry521 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 You make it sound like Jericho! I'm pretty sure that if I were to drive down Dixie Highway on my way to the 2007 State Championship football game and Highlands was in the 5A state game, there wouldn't be one sign in any store front on Dixie Highway that would say Go Birds Win State. Just a hunch but don't think it's going to happen in my life time. However, please prove me wrong.:thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2Short Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 There was a Ft Thomas state team many years ago, that noticed a big letter about every 100 yards or so on the side of 71 heading south as the team traveled to the old Fair Grounds, we could steal that idea: "G'....."O"....."C"...."O"...."L"...."O"...."N"...."E"...."L"....."S"..."W"..."I"..."N".. "S"..."T"...."A"..."T"...."E".... ...just an idea....it was pretty cool. Don't know if it's legal to place signage on the side of the interstate.....but nobody seemed to care...

benihanas Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Swing by Zimmer Hardware in Covington right off the expressway by what used to be Jillian's and you'll see a sign supporting the big blue. :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a hunch but don't think it's going to happen in my life time. However, please prove me wrong.:thumb: The Fort USED to really paint the town up when HHS was in the playoffs. Now that "everyone" is in, it isn't as "special"...unless you're playing! Even the cheerleaders and band are more into competitions...which for them is good, I guess. But it takes away from the atmosphere big time! Heck, when HHS is going to the finals, the Catholic church in town wouldn't put a "win state" message on their board...and a large % of the team was Catholic. (they do have a "Win NewCath" message on their sign...as they should!). But outside of the 'burb of FT. T, I would NEVER expect to see an "inspiration sign" for the 'Birds. Although I really did like the signs along the interstate on the way to the game, put up by HHS supporters all the way to PJS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSURock Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I would be willing to bet there aren't any "Go Rocks, take state" signs over on Poplar Level or Preston this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
