Normally, we don't announce our guests more than a week in advance. But, we are putting this here because the BGPreps crowd is great providing content, even when you don't know it. Soon, we will be all over @DevilMayCare 's Mr. Football info. He is just one example, but maybe the best of all. If you have suggestions for guests, tough topics, or games of the week, please share those here. Hope everyone has a great Friday night! https://www.youtube.com/@T.C.O.P/videos 1 Brian Landis (St. X)-Terry Brown(NewCath)- Jordan Amis(Hazard)-Dustin Lopez(Christian Co.) 8/20 2 Oakley Watkins- LCA 8/27 3 William Harris-Taylor Co. 9/3 4 Melvin Cunningham- Murray 9/10 5 Chad Tackett- Ashland 9/17 6 Tim Mattingly - Bethlehem 9/24 7 Josh Roberts - Pulaski 10/1 8 Todd Adler- Logan Co. 10/8 9 Scott Marsh - West Jessamine 10/15 10 Jesse Herbst- Dayton 10/22 11 Keith Eckloff (Manua) & Chase Porter (Male) 10/29 12 Jerry Lucas - Collins 11/5 13 DaMarcus Ganaway- Owensboro 11/12

In Georgia, they have something similar called PSR. Lately, the Georgia HS Football Coaches have said they want to move in different direction from PSR. Some want to go back to the old way of setting the playoff bracket. Some want larger regions. Most states are dealing with similar issues in regard to classification, playoffs, forfeits, etc. There doesn't seem to be alot that is in just one state.

Coach Herbst was our podcast guest this week and it airs Thursday, 7:30 pm. He was very complimentary of his administration and their investment in the program. Jesse and I have crossed paths the past 3 decades. Dan Ridder's Dayton team in 1996 was awful good.

Agree. It was one of our podcast games of the week as well.

Yes. On this particular donation, I agree. But, I do think it is only a matter of time. Ultimately, there just don't seem to be "rules' anymore to stop it. Yes, this is insane... but is there a Harvard-Princeton Rose Bowl on the horizon? I mean, why not? They have the money, access to the power brokers (college athletics, courts, media, corporations) , and the legal team to build a great football roster.

Does the Keeneland schedule still push most October games to evening or is that old news?

Centre College got a donation today for $225 million. NIL is legal for D3 & Ivy League Football. What is to keep one of these schools with rich donors from building an elite roster?

Centre has Homecoming this weekend. Reminded me... when Steele Harmon was the head football coach at Centre, he told me all the alums that came back would say, " I threw the block that sprung Bo (McMillin) for the TD (to beat Harvard 6-0). " Steele said, "I finally realized, no wonder Bo scored. He had 40 guys on the field blocking for him. " "I threw the block that sprung Bo!"

Walter Brugh. This was one of our games of the week. Paintsville is really good this year, like the old days. Chris McNamee with a hungry football team is a dangerous combination. This was one of our games of the week on TCOP. Best of luck to both teams!

Little irritated with Jerry. Our first game(1995) against each other, we could play a 5-2 Shade defensive front with a Monster 3 deep behind it. Now he has a Mr. Football candidate @ QB, really good WRs and a solid Oline. We better put 11 DBs on the field in 2026. 😎 Times have changed!

Fall break, got to watch a little Finebaum yesterday. Had Peter King on. Will be a collection of his stories, covering the NFL the past 30 plus years. Sounded like it will be good!

Good for the TSSAA, responding in a cooperative manner. The Gulf States Independent Athletic Association (GSIAA) is getting started in Alabama but has said they will be open to including schools from other states. I would think it would be best for state associations to keep all of their schools under their operation, even if the model changes. Would most of you agree or disagree with that?

I am encouraged that you believe that Carter County HS is better for the kids than having East or West. I sure hope you are correct.
