I remember walking VERY fast to my car in downtown Cincinnati later that morning when we told to go home. A few of us were looking back at the Carew Tower (the biggest building in Cincinnati at that time) to see if it was going to get hit by a plane too.

I hope that it is not raining. Forecast looks good for Sunday. I'll be there.

And, I just saw that Dobbins is out of the year with an Achilles tear. Oops, I saw that @16thBBall Fanjust said that.

Gee, I wonder what the line will be? Pick 'em, maybe?

Burrow was afraid to get full out on that calf with the combination of the Browns defense, the weather and the soft tissue injury. I think he was thinking of the perspective of the entire season.

My wife came into the room to watch the game at the beginning of the 4th quarter. After Pitt got within 6 points, I told her to leave! The Bearcats hang on for the win!

Here is the stat summary for the game. http://www.turbostats.team/football/covingtonholycross/hc indians 2023_game4_box.html Once again, freshman Ulysses Porter dominates for the Indians scoring 4 more touchdowns (1 receiving followed by 3 rushing). He finished with 6 carries for 88 yards. The Indians had a balanced attack tonight with 187 total yards rushing and 182 total yards passing. This team continues to impress with its corps of talented freshmen. Holy Cross is now 3-1 and travels to Ohio to play Cincinnati College Prep Academy (OH) next Friday night.

Final

Of course, I have to give kudos to the Covington Holy Cross grad, Derrick Barnes, who had 6 tackles (5 solo and 1 TFL) for the Lions.

Here is the stat summary for the game. http://www.turbostats.team/football/covingtonholycross/hc indians 2023_game3_box.html Freshman Ulysses Porter has another big game for the Indians with 24 carries for 163 yards and a touchdown. In the 1st quarter, Donavan Ambrocio connected with Davonte Ryan for 28 yards. Grant County had 3 big plays for their touchdowns. Dakota Roaden goes 72 yards after a blocked FG, Chase Simpson runs one in from 44 yards and Cam Duncan connects with Kaleb Dionne for 84 yards. Holy Cross is now 2-1 and hosts Middletown Christian (OH) next Friday night. Grant County is also 2-1 and travels to Rockcastle County next Friday night.

It may come to that for a lot of people.

Spectrum said Disney has removed its programming. “The Walt Disney Company has removed their programming from Spectrum which creates hardship for our customers,” the company said on its DisneyESPNFairDeal.com site. This just happened tonight. No more US Open and may affect the first big weekend of College Football. This affects a lot of the channels that I personally watch. I hope Spectrum and Disney get their act together fast! https://www.beaconjournal.com/story/sports/college/football/2023/08/31/disney-spectrum-blackout-espn-contract-negotiations-thursday-college-football/70727186007/

The Bears signed Trent Taylor. He is kind of related to me as my niece's husband's cousin. 😀

The Covington Holy Cross football stadium is named after a bank - Republic Bank Field at Thomas More College. The HC practice is named John Wysong field at the Eva G Farris Sports Complex. Coach Wysong was the first coach of the Covington Holy Cross football team.

With HC dropping to 1A this year, it was a bit challenging finding enough schools of equal size in order to schedule competitive games. Hence, the match-ups with these schools in Ohio.

Here is the stat summary for the game. http://www.turbostats.team/football/covingtonholycross/hc indians 2023_game2_box.html Freshman Ulysses Porter has a big game for the Indians with 17 carries for 127 yards and 4 touchdowns. On defense, he also returned a fumble for a TD. Dohn was athletic and fast. QB Javier Shockley had a solid game. Holy Cross is now 1-1 and travels to Grant County next Friday night.

Another location for a bowl game?

That is one of the great debates on the internet. Many say mashed potatoes, an egg, a pastry or cottage cheese. Regardless, it was a funny scene.

I welcome this as it will also keep groups of individuals off the sidelines who don't belong.

Dohn Community (OH) vs. Covington Holy Cross has been moved to 8pm on Friday night.

Here is the stat summary for the game. New software this year. http://www.turbostats.team/football/covingtonholycross/hc indians 2023_game1_box.html Brock Coffman was my star of the game for the Spartans with 6 catches for 111 yards (1 TD), 1 rushing TD, a fumble recovery and 3 INTs. For the Indians, freshman Ulysses Porter starts his career with 12 carries for 144 yards.

Thanks for the updates and the kind words @CardinalsFan! I'll definitely need help next week because I'm down a spotter. Tonight was difficult due to all those HC turnovers. Sayre has a lot of nice players. I'm curious to see the numbers.

I wanted to let everyone know that there will not be a link for live stats this year from me since I needed to change my software at the last minute. I will try to provide a web page with a box score after the game if I can figure out how to make it work. I've had access to the new software since Wednesday at 3pm! 😲 Big learning curve. BGP is on my list to provide information, but I got to satisfy the coaching staff, KHSAA and the media first!

HC has lots of new speed and a huge athletic line (with depth). They will be able to get multiple looks offensively with their rotation. Of course, they are very young and everything is a bit unknown until the games are played.
