You just don't get it.

NO. I fully get it. And like I said yesterday, the Mr. KY Football award is now cheapened because one of he best, If not THE best was not even nominated. It's far from a slam on the other players. It would probably mean more to the winner if he was on the ballot and they beat him out for the award. I'm not even saying he should have won it, because many other deserving nominees had excellent season, but MR. Football should go to the best Senior Football player. Period. If you folks don't think he is one of the best Senior football players in this great state.....Well, I question your football knowledge. Hurt or not, he still played against a good schedule this year and previous years and PROVED ON THE FIELD that he more than deserves to be, at the very least, on the dang ballot. I truly believe that for all the accolades that so many attribute to his last name, that it actually in fact kept him from getting a nomination. Green is an ugly color in the Bluegrass state, but it reared it's ugly head in this case.

 

I don't think you do get it. While AC is a great player and has some great potential at the next level, so do many others in the state that are not on the list. Mr. Foootbal is not about a career, it is about this year and his numbers just do not reflect the greatness you are talking about this year. The award is not cheapened by his absence in the opinion of most people, otherwise he would have been nominated and been put on the list. You may not have meant it as a slam on other players, but that is what you have done. I am sure that he has deserved all of the accolades he has recieved, but I seriously doubt his name kept him from getting a nomination. If that is the case, it could be said just as easily that the reason he got the others is because of his name and this is the only one that looked at it objectively. Although I do not believe this, as I do believe that AC is a great player and he has had some great accomplishments inhis football career thus far, and I am sure that there are many more to come his way in the future. As far as green goes, I only see it in you, which is why you are so upset about the lack of him being nominated. You are so blinded by green that you cannot see the accomplishments of these other young men.

 

Just my 2 cents.

I respect everyones opinion on here. Really I do. And I never stated that none of the other nominees were not worthy. I simply am pointing out that AC is surely one of, if not THE best 18 Senior football players. Him not being even up for the award makes the award less than what it should be. I also was simply pointing out the fact that he holds offers from a few very good football programs, some with incredible academics to boot. He was not good enough to be nominated for his states biggest football award, yet many D1 coaches want him on their roster, and nobody thinks it's a joke that he was left off the ballot?...O.k. I'm wrong:ohbrother: BTW, why in the world do they even do the nominating BEFORE the State Championships. Anyone care to mention what he did on what was aguably the biggest stage against the best opponent the state had to offer against HHS? That's right, he averaged over 7 yds a carry and had 3TD's.:clap:

GREAT reward for a young man who has worked extremely hard and deserves this honor. I guess some informed people actually know talent when it is presented to them, unlike some of the less informed voters for the Mr. Kentucky award. Anyways, AC has bigger and better things to look forward to than almost all of the other 18 candidates...State Championships, another ring, Army All American game, etc......Oh, and choosing between UK, UC, Louisville(GOD, please no!), Vandy, Stanford, Harvard. Hope he has a good pair of sunglasses. Oh well, I guess AC will quickly get over being spurned when he has to choose between some of the best academic institutions on earth or playing in the SEC. It's good to be the King.

You were slamming the other kids, end of discussion

BTW, who and where is it stated that the Mr. Football award is to go to a player that had a great Senior stat line, instead of a great CAREER. It doesn't, so your argument that his stats from this year dont make him eligible simply don't hold water. I'm not sure of the facts, but I doubt many other nominees for the award are also two time First Team ALL STATE candidates, with another ALL STATE award on the horizon. Just saying.

It's just like the Heisman, its based off that year, not career, otherwise Tebow would win this year, which he WON'T because his stats don't justify it.

Obviously, those that make the nominations say his year was not good enough and if his career was what the award was for, then he would have been nominated.

Weas, dont argue with them, I put my 2 cents in as well voicing my opionion and thats about all you can do. You made your point to the people who know, and to continue to argue with others is allowing them to twist your words and comments because most of those arguing come from the wanna be programs. Highlands captured its 19th State Championship last nite with AC at the controls and as others have said in this thread that perhaps we are making Mr Football a lot bigger of a deal than it should be. Highlands is not use to receiving this individual award yr in and yr out quit simply because it is a team sport and as we all know that is not how Highlands roll. The kids that are nominated are great athletes and they deserve their indiviual accomphishments. Highlands is just at a different level than every team in this great State with the exception of maybe 2 other programs. Those programs know who they are and they too battle this insanity every yr as well while celebrating much larger prizes. Go Birds, Number 20 in yr 10. Ewe 2010 is an interesting number now isnt it.

There's no twisting his words

Congratulations to this young man!

 

Later.

Anyone know how many kids from Kentucky have earned this honor?

Micah Johnson is the only one that comes to mind

 

Male's Justin Green played in the game last year...
