  1. Looks like their last big season (defined here as double-digit wins) was 2012, when they went 14-1 and didn't lost until falling to Trinity in the 6A championship game.....
  2. Went to PRP in 7th/8th grade (remember when you didn't go to a middle school and you went to the JUNIOR HIGH part of a high school?). They had decent teams (1974 and 1975) with the likes of Jim McDonough at QB, Orlando Hart at WR, Chuck Urevick at RB, etc. I left Louisville after '75 but kept following the Panthers....their 84 team was absolutely awesome. Even in the early 2000s, PRP was fielding strong, athletic, talented teams. I guess every program has a periodic downturn.
  3. The NFL....Where there's an automatic one year ban for betting on games and lifetime banishment for fixing a game......hmmm, doesn't sound like much of a football future to me. If he played like someone named "Manning", "Montana", "Marino" (where'd all these "M"s come from??), etc. maybe some GM takes a risk, extracts a promise from the kid in blood, and saddles him with a million contract penalties for violating the rules......but - while he may be an above average QB - I just don't see him as being such a talent that many teams will be willing to take that risk / waste that money (except maybe Cleveland, but they haven't recognized exceptional QB talent since Kosar.....😄 ) Bottom-line: The kid has a problem, and he screwed up BIG. I feel sorry for him, truly. I have a friend who has a similar problem. Unfortunately for Sorsby, it may have just cost him BIG.
  4. Looks to be a pretty aggressive schedule. Going to use a little gas those first two weeks....
  5. True! The UFL also finally seemed to figure out that massive amounts of open mics (with the coaches, assistant coaches, referees, players, ad infinitum) isn't really necessary. Watched a regular season game where almost the entire 3rd quarter only had such "open mic" audio (no announcing)....totally worthless. This was MUCH better and the announcers were good (though Brock Huard was kind of "Mr. Obvious" on the field.....)
  6. I don't think this product can compete with the Kings. Louisville is a good 70 miles away, but Arena football sputtered and failed in Louisville - but the Kings' wound up as the #2 team, attendance-wise, in the UFL, averaging about 11K per game with no game under 10,000.
  7. This has been a lot of fun so far, regardless of the title game outcome. My youngest son (adult) and I went to the first two home games, and have followed all of the others religiously on TV. It isn't quite the NFL, for sure, but it's exciting, very competitive, and frankly a lot of the UFL rules make far more sense than the NFL's. Congrats to the team for the big win over St. Louis today, avenging the regular season loss, and moving them into the championship game against D.C. If they win, they will have become 1) the first UFL team to start 0-3 and finish with a winning record, 2) the first UFL team to start 0-3 and go to the playoffs, and 3) they will have (if they beat DC) defeated both of their playoff opponents on their opponents' home field. Along the way, the Kings' kicker set a UFL record, put a defensive player in the final four finalists for league MFP..... FUN SEASON!
  8. Thanks so much for the kind words, DMC! Seeing replies like yours makes my day... Not quite extinct....I worried when I had to step aside for the last two years that maybe nobody would care (that Pegasus was gone) and that maybe "that was it." But I am so excited to be back, and so happy to bring a much more improved product to the air. Our old production was decent, but extremely simple as I was announcer/producer/director all in one.....now we have a dedicated producer, more cameramen, better software and graphics.... I am hoping everyone will like the new, Pegasus 2.0! If you get a chance, come by the press box and say "hi!" CM
  9. You will like all the changes, I think, Bobcat! Four camera operation, with replays, some exciting new graphics and effects......for the first time, PSN will have a dedicated producer of the show, instead of having me trying to produce everything while I'm announcing.... It'll be like nothing OC Football has ever had before.... And - as always - only announcers with extensive experience in Oldham County sports. I've been announcing OC sports since 1979 (and following OC sports since 1976), and color commentator Jamie Brown is a former North Oldham coach and current administrator in the school system. All the substitute announcers will have Oldham County experience. So the commentators will be able to talk about football in the county from experience. CM
  10. The 8th is always fun.....and there's something unpredictable that happens every year. And there have been many years where a decently strong team upset one of the favorites in the tournament, only to be stunned by another less-regarded team in the following round. Don't blink; you might miss something.....LOL CM
  11. Last saw Goodin two years ago....really looking forward to seeing how he's evolved since on 9/11 when Oldham County faces Collins. We'll be there with Pegasus Sports to broadcast. Should be fun! CM
