That One Guy

Kiffin still carries some significant baggage and I guess Houston wasn't convinced that he would stick around long enough or that his past wouldn't come into play.

he's got a good chunk of guys coming back at Bracken. with what Nicholas and Brossart is losing, he's got a good shot at a district championship.

I've seen a few reports that Strong wants to take a season off

PJ Fleck's representatives told Cincinnati that he's only interested in Power 5 conference teams and that they will not talk to anyone not in a Power 5 school. Cincinnati has removed him from the search. Luke Fickell's interest in the job has rocketed http://http://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/college/university-of-cincinnati/2016/12/06/uc-football-search-down-2-3-candidates/95048084/

I think there's just not as much interest in high school sports lately.

Love the Cov

13,700 in attendance to watch that game.

UC's athletic director said that they will take their time finding a good fit and that the search is wide open. I don't know if they'll have enough to go get Fleck from WMU. Candle from Toledo has only been there 1 year, don't know if they take a chance there. Kerry Combs is a heck of a recruiter, but I don't think he wants to leave Ohio State. Charlie Strong loved recruiting in Cincinnati when he was at Louisville. Brown won't leave WKU for UC. When the dust settles, I wouldn't be surprised if Bo Pelini is the next head coach

What I think it will be: 1. Alabama 2. Washington 3. Clemson 4. Ohio State What it should be: 1. Alabama 2. Western Michigan 3. Clemson 4. Washington

Congratulations Trinity on another state championship. Congratulations Lafayette on another great season. Obviously a lot to be made of the no hand shaking after the game. Based on the way things were going, probably a better decision then having a fight break out during an extremely emotional time. Unfortunate, but not horrible.

If game is at Cintas, Xavier wins. Because the game is at Baylor, I think they'll have the slight edge.

I loved watching these Crossbacks tonight. They left their hearts on the field. Very proud of how they represented NKY Officials missed on a few calls, but at the end of the day, you can't pin the whole game on stripes

There are a few small school players that didn't make it that surprised me some. Aiden Justice at Beechwood and Justin Blackburn at Ludlow had a strong year offensively, Jake Martin at Brossart and Owen Finke at Holy Cross did some damage defensively.

Congratulations to all the selections, in particular Derrick Barnes, Sander Roksvag and Trent Wrobleski who made 1st team offense and defense.

There are a lot of helmet holders at places like St. X and Trinity, but a lot of those guys work their butts off in practice giving the starters a great look. So when their team wins state, they know they had a big hand in it

NKY was shut out last season

This game embodied what high school football is all about. Great game between 2 great teams.

I'm curious as to how Russellville travels for this game. Do they come the night before or same day? That long bus ride could lead to a sluggish start

Derrick Barnes had himself a great game. In the 3 times HC has beaten NCC, they had a player or 2 just play possessed. Great game Indians

There's nothing wrong with going to a JUCO, getting used to the pace of college life and basketball, then getting a 2nd chance at a D1 school. Congratulations

Is HC as good as CCH? No, but with their depth, are they capable of some serious upsets this year? Absolutely

he's done a great job, and it looks like they'll have a solid amount returning next year. he's poised to have a few more good seasons

they don't need a big name guy though. They need someone who knows how to recruit, especially in Ohio. Dantonio, Kelly and Jones were getting great players out of southwest Ohio that were turning down mid tier Power 5 schools, and they had less to work with. Tuberville looks like all he's doing is showing up and making sure the assistants have everything under control. He's barely invested

Very happy for Coach Hawkins and the Doss Dragons. He was a classmate of mine at one of Kentucky's finest establishments
