I am not a Carter fan but I think he did the right thing at that point in time. His action was against citizens of a country basically at war with the US. We are not at war with Muslims. Big difference.

Now we are getting somewhere. Yes, we have not declared war on Muslims. However, they have (at least a particular group of them) have declared war on us, and until we can differentiate between those that want us (yes you are included) DEAD, and those that have opposing values, this again is the right move. These folks do not want to overthrow our government, make us submit to their beliefs, or just intermingle with us. IT IS ABOUT ANNIHILATION of the western way of life.

As I asked in the related thread. Was President Carter's action directed toward Iranians, or Muslims?

 

Subtle but extraordinarily significant difference.

The ban, by Carter, was aimed at a particular "group" of people with a similar ideology. I am sure not all Iranians felt the same way, but eliminating (at least temporarily) any threat was the reasoning. Same with FDR. Your subtle but extraordinary differences are no different than saying dogs and animals that bark.

Let's not overthink this. Everyone knows it is illegal and unconstitutional what he proposed, this is nothing more than rabble-rousing. He is brilliant at doing it, as dangerous as it may be.

Absolutely, NOT. There is nothing illegal or unconstitutional about it. Been done before, and NEEDS to be done now.

1. Our representatives may never figure anything out. Talk about inaction: why didn't we declare war on ISIS today?

 

2. Doesn't this resemble some of the fascist European leaders of the 20th century's?

Or maybe Jimmy Carter?

I'll take a stab at that one.

 

You and me.

Nice try, mcpapa. But in reality, where we all happen to be, Americans are fed up with the political bull. It is time to take a stand or there may not be anything to stand for.

^ Trump not a racist, fascist? His rhetoric says otherwise. And you have many republicans who are fed up with Trumps bigot comments and dangerous comments, even Cheney, CHENEY! There is NO reason to even have a temporary ban on people of one religion over another! Want to do a better job of keeping the bad guys out? Fine! But you can't make a blanket law keeping all people of one religion out, it's as insane as his comment about making all Muslims wear some type of ID.

Let's not forget that Carter did the same thing during the Iran war. Oops, the Lame Stream Lying Media didn't remind you of that little fact did they. Not only did he ban them from coming to this country, he also DEPORTED approximately 15,000 Iranians that were already here.

I'm someone with common sense. Trump is the most dangerous candidate out there.

The question is "Dangerous for who?"

hehehe. Caught I nerve I see. Stay calm. I have been told that the world does revolve around NKY. So keep your drawers on. Only thing to do now is let President Obama know so he can get the word out.

I'm NCC folk. I got up today at 6:40, sun rose after that. I don't think that that is a coincidence, Bro.

I can't stand it. You guys kill me.

OKAY. I have a question, and someone please answer it for me. Those with first hand knowledge please. i understand that in the Louisville area there is school of choice. Is that the same for Mayfield/ Graves County, Paducah Tilghman/ McCracken County, Belfry/ Pike County, and other like areas. I believe that in Hopkinsville/ Christian County this is not applicable.

Pretty sure it does. Just ask Highlands fans.

HEHEHE. I love it. So true. So true. Some of these NCC folks are not far behind.

The Mayfield fans have not put up a very good showing in this thread, at all....

ONLY A FEW. Don't lump them all together. There are some really good folks over in Mayfield. Don't judge the few by the many.

Thanks? I did not say it was only specific to Ky I was giving an explanation when and why it came into effect. Atleast as far as I can remember. I am not sure what point you are trying to make?

I think the point may be that the whole world DOES NOT revolve around NKY. I doubt an incident in an obscure game in Kentucky set a standard for the whole country. LOL

EVERY other level of football "grades" officials, and has a set way of determining each officials score. This is a tough process with so many games on a given Friday night throughout the state. However, i am sure there are plenty of qualified individuals to handle the observation portion of grading officials in the state. Probably need use regional "all star" crews at the regional title games, and allow them to stay together throughout the rest of the playoffs. Ensuring that no regional crew refs their own regions teams from there on. Just another reason to centralize the semi finals. 24 crews, then cut to six, then to 2 or three depending on how the state finals work out. This year would have been three. I do not think that doing it on an individual basis would work out, as crews seem to work better as a whole. Deciding who gets the white hat, and their own crew would be based on performance and ability also. If a ref doesn't make the cut, it is up to them to improve their performance, as pay will work accordingly.

@ATLCat Don't get me wrong, I too realize that this type of dominance is cyclical. Caldwell (my home team) has had a great run the past 4 or 5 years. No titles, but for Caldwell County a great run nevertheless. I believe EVERYONE here was pleasantly surprised as to the level they played at this season. After losing Mr Football last year, along with several other very talented players, hopes were not very high at the beginning of the season for this squad across the state. BUT, yet again this team not only competed well, but was in the mix again for a run to BG. I expect next year to be another successful campaign.

The first three would be great. Throw in Mayfield and Lex Catholic. That would be my fourth match-up. Mayfield for the win.

After watching the championship game, Lex Cath was a terrible match-up for a dominate Belfry team. I think Central was a better "match-up" as far as style of play (don't think they possessed the fire power), but doubt the outcome would have been much different. Belfry was clicking on all cylinders this past weekend. They did have a cakewalk to the title game, there is no doubting that. The west was definitely a "gauntlet" of teams desperately fighting for a shot a Belfry. Tough to argue that point with E'town, LexCath, Central, Boyle, and Caldwell making for some GREAT games. It is a shame that there is not more games like those on the east side or a mixture of east/west games to improve the competitive field. Having said all of that, hats off to Belfry. Very dominating performance in 3A this season, and by seeing their youth, I look for more of the same coming next year and beyond. Belfry IS one of the best teams in the state regardless of class, if not the best. The questions should be: "Is Belfry in a class too low for their abilities?", "Is the 6 class system working with these types of games in title match-ups?", " What can be done to level the playing field further?".

4) not any of the 6 games were won by single digits. Does this signify too many classes.

5) Should the Semi finals be seeded to insure the best 2 teams make the finals.

4.) I, for one, like a 6 class system in Kentucky. Maybe instead of showing the lack of parity in each class. it shows the schools that should be moved up a class or 2.

5.) YES. The semis should be seeded. i do not think it would have a made a difference this year, and maybe any year. But, it would be a step in the right direction. The logistic stuff is a line a crap.

I plan to attend on Sunday. Lets see how my weekend goes. The only more central place would be in Elizabethtown. Now, all those that want it moved to there need to find sponsors for the event, and i am sure that KHSAA would look at moving the venue. Other than that, they have made an excellent choice of venues and location in my opinion, and I seldom agree with very much that they do but this one is spot on.

I think macdon covered the longevity thing pretty well. Very nice work. Not quite my point though. My point was the lack of parity or depth of talent. Take any class in Kentucky that you want, does not matter. There a few (an average of 5 I would say) that could be considered the "haves", and the rest are the "have-nots". A couple of those in each class are perennially there, and the rest seem to come and go. The depth of quality teams just isn't present in Kentucky like it is in some other states (i.e. Florida, Texas, California, etc.).

Isn't this list just as much about the lack of parity in football in Kentucky as it is about longevity? By looking at a list of the top 50 dated Sept. 2, 2015 Kentucky has 6 schools listed (Highlands = #2 1,111 games - 868 wins - 78.13%, Male = #4 1,215 games - 844 wins - 69.47%, Mayfield = #5 1,116 games - 833 wins - 74.64%, Paducah Tighman = #25 1,096 games - 757 wins - 69.07%, Danville = #35T 1,018 games - 742 wins - 72.89%, and Saint X = #42 1,036 games - 731 wins - 70.56%). That is three schools in the top 5. Traditional powerhouse states like California ( 2 teams with the best being Long Beach Poly = # 21T 1,091 games - 756 wins), Texas ( 4 teams with the best being Amarillo = #26 1,112 games - 754 wins), and Florida ( no one in the top 50) listed in the top 50. Now, I am not trying to downplay the accomplishments of these teams, what they have done is nothing short of being dominate.

Correct Guru. But, great way to get the Bred faithful riled up.

I hope EKU gets to host in the near future. Perfect Stadium when it gets done, a lot of hotels, restaurants and better travel for MOST teams.

This would be the end of football.

And at this point, I will open the can of worms. If you are going to the trouble of having neutral locations host semis, then wouldn't it be logical to seed them at the same time?

#1 - I LOVE the idea of neutral sites.

#2 - These sites should be in the center of the state (E'town, Louisville, Lex, B G, Owensboro, e.g.) and as centralized as possible for participants.

#3 - Type of field is an issue only because of playing 4 games at one location (2 on Friday and 2 on Saturday) so turf would be a huge plus.

#4 - Sites should be picked before the season starts, although participants at each location would be determined the Saturday prior. ( should have at least 6 sites chosen, this could serve as back up plan, and rotate every year) This throws scheduling conflicts out the window. Miss your turn, too bad.

#5 - Seeding teams should be done by KHSAA. I do not care how. Polls would be the best answer.

#6 - Home field advantage is lost through this process, and should be at this point of the playoffs. At least theoretically.
