Dan Woolley should at least get a look if he's interested.

I've heard this about dairy from several different sources over the years. It's been noted we are the only animal that regularly drinks milk from another animal (whether it's cow, goat, etc), and that dairy is the top source of saturated fat in the American diet. I suppose it's like anything else, and can effect different people in different ways, and should be consumed in moderation. I've never been a big dairy guy, outside of my school days when I had chocolate milk with every lunch. About my only dairy intake is yogurt a few times a week.

I don't disagree with any of that, and what I think we agree on, is that it's the coaching staff that is responsible for setting that tone, and creating the right atmosphere where everyone is holding each other accountable. I just think that players pointing the finger at others behind the scenes is kind of weak and just further contributes to the problem.

5 coaches in the last 7 years, 3 in the last 2 years. I wouldn't say the problem stretches back a whole decade..it only been 4 years since a trip to the region final, and less than it's only been 8 or 9 years since they were one play from beating Johnson Central and going to a state semi-final. Woolley has only been gone 6 years. But the last 3 years have been a pretty bad stretch, where they really haven't been competitive. The principal issue is on the school district, but that has been a revolving door since Sapp stepped away a few years ago, and somehow got worse with what just happened with the latest incident that just happened a couple of weeks ago. The thing is, Scott is still doing well or at least is competitive in most other sports. It's not like there aren't any athletes walking around the building.

That's pretty weak IMO. Guys that just point the finger and complain about others not working hard are part of the problem. Teammates are also responsible for holding each other accountable. Also, this is a recruiting issue. If you don't recruit the right kind of guy AND you don't have the depth to push slackers out of a job, this is the sort of thing that happens.

They did hire him...so it's kind of hard to say they missed out....the problem is he left a couple weeks into the season. I'd say they'd have been better off if we had never even heard of Jake Owens. It's hard to blame Scott for hiring him, because it's obvious the guy can coach, and no one could have predicted he would have left before the season even started. But in hindsight, that hire did some damage to the program that is going to take some time to recover from.

If so, it wasn't a very long ride. A new coach would be the 5th football coach in 4 years and 6th in the last 8.

Bengals fans better not be selling too many tickets....Eagles fans travel extremely well and you will see a bunch of Green jerseys mixed in to the White Out theme at Paycor on Sunday.

I'm down to my goal weight now, and have been hanging steady between 176-179 lbs for the last 3 weeks. Was about 230 this time last year. Sticking to a strict 2000 calorie diet and still avoiding processed foods and sugar. I go back to the doctor at the end of this month just before heading off for a cruise the first week in December...hoping to get off/lower dosage for some of my meds and hoping my kidney function has remained stable.

Not surprised. I went to Frisch's for the first time in a long time for breakfast back around Labor day. The food wasn't bad, but they had 2 waitresses working the whole dining room, and didn't have straws. And the place was a graveyard. If you can't keep straws in stock, I'm guessing it's pretty hard to pay rent.

It seems like when I played in the 80's we were required to use mouthpieces that had straps. It was easy to tell who wasn't wearing a mouthpiece cause it could be seen hanging from the facemask if it wasn't in your mouth. Without that requirement, and other pre snap checks officials have, it's just not always possible to tell if all players have a mouthpiece in or not. I don't think I've ever seen an equipment penalty related to mouthpieces called in almost 20 years of coaching in Kentucky. I know I saw that penalty called in Pennsylvania when I coached there, and they were pretty commonly called when I played.

Certainly not all. But from what I've seen, most of the top players (and most of the players period) from the Red Devils end up at NewCath. The CC Youth Camels is a newer organization open to kids enrolled in Campbell County public schools which is the primary feeder organization for Campbell County.

From what I understand and have seen over the years, the Red Devils are primarily a feeder for New Cath.

The knee pad (and all equipment rules) should be easy to enforce. Either you're wearing the equipment (and wearing it correctly) or your not. There is nothing subject to interpretation. Celebrations are different. These are all quite subjective, which is why I'm all for allowing celebrations, or at least tying it to non subjective points (ie, removing the helmet, using props, etc). Make it either you did something or didn't, not tying to a degree of how it was done.

The problem with consistency concerning flagging celebrations is where do you draw the line as to what is acceptable. Everybody probably has a slightly different opinion as to what is "excessive". I say let them celebrate. Football is an emotional game, and in the end it's supposed to be fun. Sure maybe you could have some "rules", like the helmet needs to stay on, no props, no taunting of the opponent. But if someone wants to do the Griddy or a backflip, let the kids do it.

I'm a Philly guy, and we loved Pete just as much for bringing a title in 1980. Statistically, he didn't do much, but his attitude really helped get the Phillies over the hump. Unfortunately, as an adult, I was able to meet Pete a few times, and in all of those occasions, he just wasn't a nice person, which was one of the most disappointing experiences I had, and ruined my view of who he was. Still, I'm quite sad that he's no longer with us.

In theory, yes. In reality, without some type of geographical alignment, scheduling will become very difficult for some schools. I understand the desire to only have competitive games, but the gap between the "haves" and "have-nots" is very wide, and there are a lot more of the "have nots". Let's also not forget about financial considerations...the weaker teams are still going to get drilled, and with no affiliation, will likely be forced to travel longer distances to take their beatings which will stress already stretched budgets. Bad matchups have always existed at the high school level, and still even happen regularly at the college level.

As long as the there are districts built on geography and school size, with mandates to play all the teams within your district, this issue will continue to exist. And whether you do districts, conference or whatever type of alignment you choose, you will continue to have these types of less competitive matchups.

I think this was a KCSD decision. They made a call for early dismissals and canceled all evening activities pretty early in the day. Once that decision was made, there was no game time decision to be made.

Many, if not most areas JV plays on Mondays. Northern Kentucky is the only place I've ever been that regularly plays JV games on Saturdays. Saturday was always a film/lift day for varsity/JV.

Another game played on a field with questionable footing. I like the NFL playing games in other countries, but it's not fun watching players play on fields with questionable surfaces. Lots of slipping and sliding, with potential risk of injury.

Since the Hall of Fame opened.There's plenty of guys who are in based solely on accumulating nice numbers over a long career without truly being great.

Always have as far as I know. I don’t think there’s enough room at the high school for a stadium.

He's gone from red hot to a dumpster fire. And there is a very real possibility they lose their opener to NDSU who's ranked #2 in FCS.

I think we were a bit overcautious. I've coached and played high school football in 5 states and Kentucky was the only one that didn't use the Wet Globe Method. Places in the south would never be able to play games or practice if they just used the Heat Index. I think coaches are much better educated on how to deal with heat, and there are many safeguards in place to help prevent and treat issues should they come up. I wouldn't say we don't need to worry about heat now, but I think it's fair to say we are much more knowledgeable in how to deal with it.
