Larry Linville

We can only hope

Gotta be honest, my patience with Bobby is running thin. Against the teams he's now playing every week he's not able to just outscore people. I'm very concerned about the state of the offense with LJ leaving. He had a good DC in Grantham but by all accounts made his life unbearable. I won't even talk about the apparent nepotism on his staff.

Would be interesting to see how the hardcore X folks accept a former Trinity coach to lead the program.

Those teams don't vote on the winner. Part of your strategy has to be who's on the jury. It's an integral part of the game and part of the reason I like Survivor so much. For your analogy to be valid there would be no jury, just a series of challenges until there is a last person standing. That's not the game as it was devised, the social aspect and the ability to make people who have just lost a chance at a million dollars reward you with the money.

The social game and bitter jury are part of the game. You've got to get rid of people, but you have to do it in a way that they will still be willing to reward you for it. There's a reason why Russell was the first booted the 3rd time he played.

It does get pretty old hearing the whining every year. How is it that surrounding states public schools are able to compete with private schools? Maybe instead of demanding that the private schools do something different to accommodate the public schools, the public schools should take a look at themselves and ask what can they do to become more competitive.

Because they're from Kentucky. How about if the public schools step up their game? The large public schools in the states you mentioned don't have a problem being competitive with their private school counterparts. But I guess it's easier to lower the bar then to raise it.

He was tried as an adult wasn't he?

If you don't then as a 15 year old the maximum sentence would only be 3 years. Way to light.

Trinity's last loss was to Male in the regional championship 2015. They lost on a missed extra point after scoring a TD to get within 1 in the waning seconds of the game. That was Male's undefeated championship team.

Do you have any suggestions to close the gap?

Any audible profanity is supposed to be penalized in every sport across the board. I would definitely count racial slurs as profanity.

If officials penalized every verbal jab they could then people would complain that they are ruining the game. For the record I hate the lack of common decency that players display when they are playing and wish officials in all sports would clamp down on it.

I always laugh when I see comments that say anyone can win at . Completely untrue, ask St. X. It's like coaches at successful programs get no credit for what they are able to accomplish. I'm not saying that Beatty is the ONLY coach who could have won 13 titles in 18 seasons, but I'd love to know who else could have.

Doss is the best of the 6th.

Yes some do, or at least did. Many years ago I saw a team being presented rings and a banner being hung in their gym declaring them state champions after winning the girls All A. The coach was an acquaintance so when I asked him about it he justified it by saying it's a state tournament, they won it therefore they are state champions.

Even though Trinity would benefit from this more times then not I'm still opposed to it unless a way can be determined to do the seeding that takes all the variables of KY footfall into account. Out of state opponents have to be factored in. Does a win by Trinity over Champagnat Catholic carry the same or more weight then a Simon Kenton win over CAL? How quickly was a running clock achieved in a game and did the winning coach immediately sub out his top players?

What is an offer? An overblown and over hyped expression from a school that they will give a player a scholarship to play for them, that just like a commitment from a player is non-binding and can be withdrawn if a better option comes along.

Trinity's schedule will mirror last years reversing home/away. The only exception is the game with Champagnat Catholic. That was a one off game. No idea who they will be replaced with.

Everyone knows that if the Jags D even looks at Brady the wrong way they will be flagged so they're already 2 scores down.

The casual person watches the commercials and visits the buffet/bar during the game.

I for one hope not. Scheduling is already tricky enough.

In looking at your 6A prediction I tried my best to find something I didn't like about it but I couldn't. I like going back to 3 4 team districts for Metro Louisville and I like that the "power" is spread out. I really like Male and Manual being in different districts. They could now go back to what used to be the traditional last game of their seasons.

That has to be just a plot of where the schools are located. Look at 6A. There are 2 2 team districts in NKY, 2 3 team districts (Lex and Central KY), 1 4 team district (Lex), a 5 teamer (east Louisville), a 6 teamer (west KY) and 1 with 7 teams (west Louisville).

Over-reaction? The first time in the 71 year history of the event that it has been canceled due to weather.
