I personally think his interviews are great! Being forced to talk to media shouldn't be a thing. I can understand why he does what he does. The media has misinterpreted many things and that, at least I think, is what he is trying to avoid. However, the NFL is looking in to fine him anyways after his latest "I'm just here so I won't get fined" interview due to "promoting" his own brand (he was wearing his Beast Mode hat).

What # was he @ Newport?

#54

Newport offensive lineman has commited to the University of the Cumberlands to play football! Congrats Ben!!

Thoughts and predictions on this one? Should be another dandy with Louisville looking to get a little payback from the L in Chapel Hill.

then whats the point of even playing right now? To me, thats taking away from all the players and coaches. All the hard work they put in only to be told they can't do anything with it. IF they make it to their conference championship, whoever they play can go in with the mindset that regardless we're in, so lets not get hurt and realistically doesn't even have to try. When will they become NCAA eligible?

So are the Norse eligible for post season play now?

The production from Meeks and Johnson in the paint recently has been the key. It's been opening those outside shots for Paige and Britt and even at times Tokoto. Hicks has been good off the bench. Jackson is starting to play his game. Once Pinson and Berry are back I think they'll get even better. Should be interesting in March.

Wonder if this is the same Steve Hamilton I played softball with back in the day?

Possibly, he did say he used to pay a lot years ago.

Was at Campbell County for a while I believe. The previous coach was let go in the fall I believe as well.

Another win for the Heels! That is now 6 in a row. This team is starting to get some help from Nate Britt from the outside. Next up for the Heels will be the Cardinals at the YUM Center.

Steve Hamilton has been hired to take over the Newport baseball program.

I've seen two Newport games. Against Holmes and Dayton Ponitz. Against Holmes they looked really good until they went ice cold in the 3rd quarter and allowed Holmes to come back. Against Dayton Ponitz, they looked off the entire game. I've not seen St Henry but from what I'm told they aren't a bad bunch. Seems like it may be an interesting game.

They should just combine Dayton, Bellevue and Newport and create a RiverCity High School.

This is something that has been considered numerous times over the years. At one point they even had a name for the combined school, which was Campbell North. However, from my understanding which of course could be very little, the issue that was ran into was a location. Finding a central location that would allow these kids to make it there. Newport, I believe was the biggest issue with them asking about a lot of the kids from the west side. Although a bus system would surely be in effect. But I've heard nothing about this in a few years, so my guess is IF they combined, it wouldn't be anytime soon.

At some point, little Johnny has to grow up. My mom would have never done this, however my dad used to try when I was younger and I would tell him to get away, which lots of times resulted in arguing. :no:

Who wins and why?

I would take a shot in the dark and say that 85% of high school athletes and below wear Nike. Adidas is a last option and UA is only the option when the kid that wants Nike but his size isnt available and has to have it right now, is around.

Talk about getting a quality starter.....

Carolina wins its 4th straight in convincing fashion while shooting an astounding 60% from the field. Had 50 points in the paint which is every bit of impressive. Heels are now 5-1 in the ACC. Next up for the Heels is FSU in the Dean Dome.

WOO HOO!!!!! :banana: I am 100% ok with this hire. I think JDR will be just fine. Yes its been tough for about 12 years BUT there is a chance for a change. I'm ecstatic. Hopefully this plays out well for JDR and DA RAIDERS (in my best Chris Berman voice).

Why did UK agree to the game in the first place? Surely all these points came up at the time of discussion. So if their backing out now gives me the feel that someone put pressure on them to drop it.

The pressure is coming from those old folks who are still emotionally hurt by that loss. They don't want to revisit the pain again from the terrible day (Good day if you ask me).

UNC is a 3 point shooter away from being better than the Sweet 16. Aside from Paige, they dont have a real threat from 3. Tokoto hits them occasionally as does Britt. Jackson would probably be the next best 3 point shooter. Berry, I dont even know if he can shoot em. Their bigs play well and rebound well (offensively, but struggle defensively). Meeks, Johnson and Hicks are pretty dadgum good interior guys. Pinson is a spark off the bench with his energy. They have the potential to be dangerous, but will they play to their potential is to be determined.

The Cats will play host to Dogs tonight. What are some thoughts on this one? I'm strongly considering making it to this one. Do that Cats have a shot tonight?

Art is my worst category and it reminds me every time that dadgum wheel stops on it!
