Bluebird

I don't take it personally; I have watched him for a number of years and some of what you say is correct. Some is not. His happy feet as you refer to his foot movement has caused a lot of comment from the experts and some is justified. What is not is the play calling that consistently put UK in third and long. Let's see. Run on 1st, run on 2nd and then throw. Pretty much over and over again. The let's throw and hit the receiver in the hands and oops it is dropped. Over and over again. Then, on the few occasions it is caught bring it back for offensive holding. Then there is the confidence building press conferences from Coach Stoops and the OC's. Back to basics; when Patrick chose to run he showed good mobility. His passing accuracy was definitely improved but the consistent drops skewered the statistics. Yes sports fans I watched every game AND HE COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER. PATRICK WAS NOT THE PROBLEM WITH THIS UK TEAM; UNFORTUNATELY HE WASN'T THE SOLUTION EITHER.

To those of you who fail to see the talent this young man has I wish for you better judgement. It is disappointing to see this coaching staff treat this young man as they have for several years. I hope they don't do the same to Drew Barker who has demonstrated some ability but far less maturity. I have been a UK football fan for almost 60 years and I was truly hopeful when Stoops was the hire to replace Joker. That hope is gone after I have seen the way he has handled the program. Yes, we have a major league facility and the recruiting has been better but the overall program administration has been a disaster including the inability to game plan and to make in game adjustments.

Great job by Pulaski. #2 was a huge difference maker for the Maroons. Awesome performance young man. We wish you and your team success.

Really a nice comeback to form for the Birds. These kids were 1-5 and being beat down by everyone but have rallied to have a good team and a chance to go all the way again. Terrific job guys! Play hard and get'er done!!!

Go Birds. Silence the doubters. This is our time of year! Nobody gave us a chance down 42-21 at half last year. Ok we started 1-5. Let's finish with a couple of more W's.

Go Beechwood

Birds need to come out and play hard.

It was a good win. Liked the grit Highlands showed and the fact that Hergott was put in a position to succeed. I saw the earlier matchup predictions but not sure they will be as posted. If Montgomery beats Anderson they end up on the top side of the bracket and play Grant Co with the winner getting the Highlands-Woodford winner. We will see Friday. Nice thing this year is if Highlands keeps winning they keep playing in Fort Thomas right through until Bowling Green. Go Birds. (Hey coach, how about working on a screen play for Pulsfort? The kid has good wheels!)

Highlands 59-61 Teams were quarterbacked by Roger Walz and he was flat out amazing all three years. The running backs in that same period were both Burt's, Jim and John who were both all time candidates. Wide receivers Jim Biltz and Bill Bradley who both played at lonesome end as sophomores in 61 should also garner some votes. Homer Rice laid the groundwork for all of the success since the mid 50's.

Is it still 20-0

Kentucky recovers from embarrassment of second half and wins game two.

This game does not dictate the season. Get real folks. You schedule tough competition to prepare. The season does not hinge on a game when a 5A school plays a game against any other class. Do you want to win? Absolutely. Is the sky falling? Absolutely not.

2001 AND 2002. Back to back same 2 schools.

Birds were embarrassed at Cooper. Cooper was emotionally charged. Birds back on track.

60 WOW!

Pat Towles is a winner and a leader. With improved depth in protection I look for an opportunity for him to excel this year. It will be interesting to see how Reese comes back from his injury. The few plays he got in last year really were hard to watch.

Good luck Pioneers!

I have attended a lot of football games over the last sixty years; i am really looking forward to September 25th! How many times can one say that going up an opponent that has an all time record against you of 1-25? That is a testimony to the way SK has improved; I am curious as to how much.

Marty Steele is the Head Coach at Boone as of Thursday March 26th.

Cats gave me a scare last night but I admire their fortitude. UK by 7.

Let's go Racers! Show the NCAA they made a mistake!

Not today. Check their web site on their football roster for 2015; he is not listed.

Come Sep 26 SK will be 1-26 all time against Highlands. Next.

Birds are 47-17 all time against Covington Catholic. Just shaking our little wings over here. Let's get real; coaching is very important but so is tradition and our kids leave it all on the field year in and year out. Good luck to the new leaders at Covington Catholic.

Highlands has won 96.2% of the games against SK. I think that speaks volumes. But then I am not writing down a win; just planning on being there early and let it play out on the field.
