Unfortunately, living in TN I watched the entire game (while watching Bama-PSU and SC-UGA) and Bray and his WR did whatever they wanted whenever they wanted. UC goes for it in their territory twice on 4th down with what I thought was horrible play selections. I was so hoping for a UC win.

ND favored in both games and I take the money line with both underdogs....I'm so happy BK is at ND. Easy to pick against and make part of the mortgage payment.

So I'll repeat this question...what should Barnhardt do?

I guess Bear Bryant would have loved Mark Ingram wearing gloves with big the big "A" on each? Is that a slight change? Sure, but I would bet it caught kids' eyes. Some are extreme and some aren't, but they are all changing.

How many yards for Davenport last night?

I would ask if this may be the year our county finally defeats Bell...but tht is almost like UK-UT, I'll never ask or predict. Big win for BC last night as well. Will be tracking both teams all year. Good luck!

HC held the VA (Class A) Defending State Champs to 1 yd rushing while rolling up 364 on the ground. McMillan dominated on the Dline for the Black Bears.

Another dominant performance. Gate City was predicted to be better than this, just couldn't compete with HC on any level.

HC's power will be too much for Gate City. Gate City has a good program, but they aren't on HC's level this year.

Excellent point...it is to sensationalize it.

I wouldn't want that job either. I guess I think they should be able to earn money based on their name. Signings, merchandise sales, advertising, etc.

I don't like the idea of them getting paid by the schools or the NCAA, but I am all for them being able to make money by signings, merchandise, and advertising.

I agree with you 100%. All schools are closer to this situation than we would like to believe. Having said that, what kind of compensation can be paid to the student-athletes that will be enough to keep them from taking these hand outs? I don't know that it is possible.

I think Harlan Co will have a legit shot. I think they are top 2-3 in most preseason polls in 5A. They have an experienced QB and RB and a solid back 7 on D. They key will be replacing 3 OL and 3 DL starters from last year's 5A semifinalist team.

Zach Chitwood Sophmore Safety for Harlan County. Got playing time as a frosh last year at Safety and RB. Larkey really likes this kid. Was 6th man on the Harlan (Ind) Green Dragons basketball team as an 8th Grader before transferring to the county.

We are going down on Wednesday and staying about a block off of Bourbon St until Sat morning and then staying in BR after the game. I would also love to see a game in Madison. I hear it is awesome. I have some Hokie friends and I want to make it up there once too.

As an avid UK football fan, my buddies and I try to make a couple of road trips each year. This year, we will be going to @WKU (Nashville), @LSU, @USC, and @UGA. Previous years I've been to @Vandy, @IU (Couch days), @Auburn, @Bama (Tuscaloosa), @USC, @Ole Miss, @UL, @UGA, @UF, and @UT (MANY times). After this season, I'll only be missing @MSU and @Arkansas. Neither are high on my priorities. I have also been to these UK Bowl Games - Outback against PSU, Music City against Syracuse, FSU, Clemson (both), Liberty Bowl against ECU, and the Compass Bowl against Pitt. Through those bowl games I've had the 'luxury' of two of the worst stadiums still in use as well as two very nice NFL stadiums. My question is, where have you been as a visitor and how do you rate it your trip in this or other criteria: The Night Before Action, The Tailgate, The Home Fans, The GameDay Traditions - stadium noise, etc, and the game itself. Reg Season Trips - @Vandy - Night Before Action is fantastic. Love all the Nashville bars. The Tailgate leaves ALOT to be desired. The Home Fans - weren't really there. No Traditions really stood out. The games (2) that I went were very uneventful with lots of bourbon. @IU - About the same as @Vandy. Bloomington totally different than Nashville, but very fun college bars and attractive co-eds. Game was fun because Couch lit it up for 7 TDS. @Auburn - Night before was a lot of fun - as were all of the places - i'll go ahead and get that out there. Game day was awesome. Loud - energetic fans. A few jerks close to our seats, but mostly nice people. Great game thanks to Cobb and a big road victory. @Bama - loudest stadium i've visited and it wasn't close. Went twice - JLO game and then Hartline soph year. Awesome tailgate and very nice fans. Both games were good, well played games for the most part. @USC - Great all around trip, Cobb played brialliantly and had he got the ball on the 2 pt conversion and/or Hartline not got hurt we win that game IMO. Fun tailgate, had friends that own a condo at the University place where lots of alumni/former players hang out. Several current players played cornhole and hung out with us after the game. Later I found out that I was teamed up with the GM of a certain hotel that many student athletes lived at. :sssh: @Ole Miss - all except the game was the greatest road game ever. The Square, The Grove, the southern hospitality were all 2nd to none. GREAT time all around, except that HORRIBLE drive. @UL - miserable. Hot and miserable. We won, so that was good. @UGA - more bars than i've ever seen and the prettiest co-eds ever. Don't remember the game at all unfortunately. Too much fun before. @UF and @UT can both be forgotten. I was in Gainesville for Tim Couch's first start...I think we lost 627-2 if I recall. I got spit on, cursed at, laughed at, etc...was awful. Loud stadium. 2nd to Bryant Denny. @UT - I've been to games there since the 80's. First one was the last UK victory. I've been to more games than I care to remember. Some were absolute beat downs and others not so bad. Stadium is old and crappy. Walk forever to get there. I know tons of people that live in Knox so I always have a lot of fun the night before and morning/day of game, but I'd rather not discuss the games. Bowl games - Outback was special for many reasons. First bowl in my adult years...Tampa and Ybor City on New Year's eve with 50,000 UK fans around. Awesome stadium, great seats....I'll always remember the trip. First 3 Music City Bowls were very fun - the last one was misery. Cold as I've ever been. Liberty and Compass - well, those stadiums need to be condemend. I've rambled long enough...I"m just so JACKED for football i can't help it. What are your guys thoughts? Agree/disagree? Different stadiums to discuss?

Who or what is the "trouble" at the safety position i'm reading about today? It appears they have switched a TE to safety as well as stating that their highly regarded incoming frosh will see meaningful playing time at safety this year. Anyone have the scoop?

Yes they are...and it isn't even in question sadly.

Missed that...I guess I am not a great speller with his entire name. Care to comment on the others? I'm really curious how you decided on the other names.

I think this is a good list, but why is Stevens ahead of Donovan? Donovan won 2 titles...Stevens has 0. How many times has Boeheim missed the tourny? How many final fours does he have? Williams has arguably lost more NCAA tourny games with superior talent as anyone in the history of college bball. Izzo, I think is one of the top 5 along with Calhoun (although I dislike him). I just think your list proves there is so much subjectivity and no matter how hard we try, it is nearly impossible to not let our personal bias come in to the discussion. No Coach K?

Greatest talent of all time??? If a UK fan said that you would blast them...c'mon man? Greatest talent of all time is a ridiculous statement.

I am not at all disputing that he needs to win a title to be considered great, but llet's not act like just becasue you win a title you are great. In your estimation, what current coaches are more than 'average'?
