I was just looking through Manual's football webpage. If I'm reading it right, the game has been moved to Moore High School due to poor field conditions at Manual Stadium. The webpage just says "This weeks game has been moved to Moore High School due to poor field conditions". I assume it means the the Conner Game, can anyone confirm this?

Any thoughts?

To echo others the game was not as close as the score. On the positive side for Cooper, they did manage to extend a few drives and keep the Conner offense off the field but they couldn't turn it in to points.As for Conner, they seemed content to get into the bye week and wait on the playoffs.

Agian "running it up" is a non-issue to me. However, I do have to question the wisdom of risking injury. I think I read above that the SK QB was still going both ways late (I missed that) but I don't think anyone mentioned that Simpson was as well. Simpson actually made the saving tackle on what would have been a Conner touchdown mid way through the fourth quarter. I hadn't noticed him out there and did a double take when he made the tackle because it seemed like such an unnecessary risk.

It seemed to me that once Conner went down 14 in the 3rd quarter they started to panic and made some dumb turnovers deep in their own territory that let it get out of hand. As far as the "running it up" issue SK was still taking multiple deep shot when it was well over. Personally doesn't bother me, I always say if you don't like it stop it. However, I would suggest that SK keep an eye on some of their students. About 25 kids were walking through the Conner side chanting "scoreboard" and generally trying to get in peoples faces. They were lucky they didn't start a riot. Its a shame that a few idiots can make a whole school look bad.

Thought I'd share a few pictures I have of Dixie's field. Best in NKY IMO.

Hopefully this one stays on subject. Should be a great game. Go Cougs!
