First play of the game Ryle's QB hit a receiver dead in the chest and he dropped the ball. The only thing around him was open field and the inzone.

Wow! Yes a powerhouse. If so why didn't Highlands ever show up on their schedule? Funny how that works.

Ryle would run over Middletown! I wish they had them on their schedule.

Ryle did not have a "Nicholas" playing for them????

Go to the next board meeting and ask.

agee with the loss to Highlands but that's it.

Tate Nichols wins "That's My Boy award". Great job! He earned it.

It will come down to the points earned. Who ever has the most will win. The #s will tell the story. IMO this is the purest award out there. There isn't much personal opinion that comes into play. Who ever finishes on top will have earned it on their own. It's a great award. If I were to guess, regardless who my favorite is, I think it is going to be Collinsworth or Nichols. And that's after considering all of the #s.

Its not not uncommon for a coach to come in this late in the game on a visit. They want to secure all of the committs they have. The other college coaches will continue to try and steal a recruit right up until signing day. Its a pretty cut throat business. If the kid doesn't hear from the school they have committed too it makes it easy for another school to change their mind.

BK was also at Ryle today to see Nichols.

I agree. I think Zook has been told that this is his final year to make it happen.

I read that UK already has more commits than scholorships to give.

scout.com list Nichols as a 3* OT and his national OT rank is #71. And that was without him playing OT in high school. Wonder what he would have been had he played OT. Impressive!

Understand and agree.

Not that it matters at this point!! But. I think your sats are wrong on Nichols. I think he had 26 catches for 500 yds. Plus he was ranked #9 in the state (out of all players) some considered him to be the #1 TE in the state. Ranked # 47 TE in the country by Rivals. Fugate is a very good WR but he is a true WR playing ball in an area of KY that does not typically throw the ball a whole lot. So I am guessing his stats alone did not get him over the hump. Considering they are team mates and good friends I'm sure that they support each other no matter who gets the nod. But I do think the coaches got it right in ranking Nichols higher than Fugate. I am susprised that Nichols wasn't 2nd team. But as already noted they can't make us all happy.

There is no TE position on all state. You are either voted as a receiver or OL. I would say that the Nichols vote had nothing to do with the number of receptions.

I expected to see Boone do more. I wasn't overly impressed. I think Earls serves them much better playing the post but he seems to shoot outside most of the time. His money should be inside.

Ryle has played Highlands twice and in my opinion they are better than St X. Highlands went across and beat Ohio St X. The Ryle / Highlands game was a loss for Ryle but nothing to be ashamed of. I would not expect Ryle to be caught of guard by St. X considering their experence with Highlands.

I give up, you got me there.

Then don't coach! Never said you should.:puke:

Well I guess there is nothing to worry about Friday night. I wouldn't cover him.

What was up with Conner's D line chop blocking??? They did it at least 6 times. It is only my opinion but no matter who you were pulling for that's a cheap shot that puts a player at great risk of a knee injury. If you can't move them you try to cause an injury????? I would not expected Coach T to promote that. The ref warned them or at least appeared so but never threw a flag, which he should have.:ohbrother:

The best catch was when he was going out of bounds and had to look up towards the sky and behind him to find the ball. :clap:

Per NCAA rules they can't sign until the first week of Feb. 2010.

Seems to be the big question in Union! It appears that they would rather he block for the running back or provide pass coverage. Certainly seems to be a watse of talent. But I guess it has to be a team effort. I would think he would want the ball in his hands as much as he could get it. I don't see another TE like him in the near future for Ryle. I'm sure that there are some other teams in NK that would like to have the option.
