Still a tomcat, you will need more experience then 8 months and 33 posts to get an accurate read on who cries and who doesn't.

 

 

Ram, you will need more experience trying to figure out who has been around longer than you think they have. I know exactly who cries, and who doesn't, and I know exactly what sidelinedoc was trying to say with his post, and I'm certain you do to.

Wow. You think that we think you all have a home field advantage.

What is this "we" stuff? My post was directed at sidelinedoc only. I've never seen you complain about, or insinuate what he was.

After speaking with several folks who attended the Campbell Co scrimmage, it appears the general consensus is not very flattering for the Tomcats. Although Ashland does return several key skill players, they lost a group of linemen which had played together for several years. The big question mark, which could linger for several weeks, will be how effective the linemen will perform…particularly on the offensive side of the ball. Time answers all questions, and it will this one too.

 

Ashland has struggled in their opening games, going 2 -4 during the past few years. So, if you are Greenup Co, it may be a good time to catch the Tomcats

Very surprising Painter. I may have been wrong by building up the Tomcats so much. But, it still surprises me.

Blah, Blah, Blah. Does a new coach turn Greenup around that fast and how insulting is that to the coaches in the past? Were they that bad?

What if it wasn't the coaching? What are the past coaches of Greenup doing now? Will all the talk give them a chance? These Questions and more will start to be answered Friday night! I CAN'T WAIT!

Yes I said It.

Then I apologize. I thought you had Painter's broad brush out.

Greenup 15 - Ashland 8 ---> Do not underestimate this group at Greenup. A new coach breeds new attitude. Not saying the prior staff did not know their X's & O's, but I feel, and keep in mind this is my opinion, the old staff did not know how to relate to their students. The players I have talked with all respect Coach C and seem to be willing to play their hearts out. Time will tell. Best of luck to both schools. Go GCHS.

“Surprising” is an understatement. With the fresh start of a new year, hope abounds in most programs and certainly Ashland has reason to believe it will enjoy a successful season. You and I both know, however, that the true test will be administered on the playing field and not on message boards.

 

Come Friday night (Saturday for some), we will know for sure how far this Tomcat squad has come, and also, how far it needs to go.

Thanks, I just spit Diet Pepsi all over my computer, I appreciate it.

I keep doing the math, and it still shows that Ashland should be very good. But, never underestimate what a good OL can do versus a bad OL. I've said all year, if Ashland finds three good linemen they will be good, maybe they haven't found the right three yet.

After a particularly poignant wake up call last weekend, I can’t imagine any Ashland player taking GC lightly. The Tomcats have had three straight home opening losses to a team which, at least on paper, should not have won the contest. (Disclaimer: Before I incur the wrath of my Raceland friends, I’m referring to the old 1A / 5A debate).

 

For the past several years though Option V, there is always a bunch of talk about how GC has finally turned the corner and it never seems to come to fruition. Perhaps this will finally be the season which Greenup captures that success and ferocity which has eluded them in recent years. I remember the days when playing the Musketeers were not considered an automatic W for Ashland…
