I have HORRIBLE luck, but I'm trying to stay realistic and there hasn't been any cases in Northern Kentucky. The weather changing always messes with my allergies and yesterday it was in the 60s when it had been 30 or below for a while, so my allergies kicked in and I thought "I have it....... I'm dead....." I literally was going to go get tested, especially since I have a compromised immune system from the wreck. I'm starting to freak out because of how I just read that it's airborne, but I'm going to try and cut myself off from the rest of the world for as long as possible and just pray that I'm ok. I keep searching the internet for a vaccine but it says that it won't be ready for a year. I'm also worried because I have had so many illnesses and pains that my body is so used to it that I never really notice when something feels off or hurts, so I might have or get symptoms and just not notice..

I know but I have a presale ticket. Does will it be worth getting an Uber or will it be over by the time I get there? Is Beechwood giving them a game?

How much time left and what quarter? Is it worth me Ubering down there or does it look like it will get ugly?

What time is the game and where? I might try and go watch it to see Draud play and I've presented at both schools relatively recently so it will be good to see all the kids again. Also grew up down the street from Ross Hart in Fort Mitchell and he's still a good friend, so it sounds like it would be a good game to go to.

Wasn't really within two TDs. I believe here was one stop inside the 10 at the end of the first half (might have been a turnover) and then there was the goal line stand at the end where it didn't look like they were even trying to score (and I think the QB fumbled the snap on fourth down). On a brighter note, I rolled by the Highlands cheering section and they were all going nuts screaming and waving! I'm pretty sure I must have made a difference when I presented there!

Supposed to rain (which means I can't go ), so does that favor one team more than the other?

I'm definitely going to watch that (hopefully tonight)! I always assumed that there really was no deciding other than Hitler coming to power because he was a great public speaker and using that skill to convince everyone that the Jews were to blame to the Great Depression.

Disagree. Bombs make a pretty big hole, especially if you bomb the tracks and areas on both sides of them. Also, rebuilding the tracks means less people and resources for other things. Don't bomb trains, just the tracks. Even if they built ghost tracks across Germany, the Germans still brought in many Jews from other countries, so bomb those tracks in other countries. Some say Churchill knew as early as the summer of 1941 because they were listening in on classified German radio transmissions that described the murders. I seriously doubt that they kept that knowledge from the US, who definitely knew by 1943 (at the very latest). There were Jews transported from other countries, not just Germany. Destroy the tracks and all of the land around them by dropping many bombs when the weather was decent and make it a lot more difficult to repair. Plus, as I said above, that takes men and resources away from doing other things.

:lol2: I asked the same question years ago on here and was told that the secret of Highlands' success was because of the Fort Thomas Youth Football league and transfers in had little-to-no effect on Highlands' success! :lol2: As far as Dale goes, did they just completely abandon his style and his playbook? I'd think that there were coaches under him that could at least copy how he used to call plays.

I watched The Diary of Anne Frank at Thomas More yesterday for the second time because one of my professors was speaking after the play. I've always been obsessed with WWII (and wars in general) and I recently had a thought: why didn't they ever bomb the railroad tracks that took Jews to concentration camps? Seems to me that it would pretty much kill the Nazi's process of transporting of the Jews to mass murder them. My old professor even brought up that point today and mentioned that there's a picture of from a plane over Germany during that time looking down from the bomb hatches and you can see the railroad tracks. I looked it up and found this: That just seems bogus to me, though, because it almost surely would have disrupted German's supply lines, as well as saving millions of Jewish lives, and demoralizing the Germans. Does anyone know why they didn't bomb the tracks or is it as simple as the quote above?

At 10:12 tonight, it will be 20 years since the wreck! If you're awake then, or just at dinner or whenever, raise a glass to being alive!

Ok, peeps, I draft with my good friends tonight and it's the most important thing to happen all year. I didn't even enter any other leagues this year because pride, respect, bragging rights, and glory are all on the line. I'm drafting in the 6th spot in a 10-team league. I'm leaning at going unconventional and taking Kelce in round 1, Nick Chubb in round 2 (assuming he falls that far), and then Mahomes in round 3 (might be a bit of a reach but I don't want to miss out on him and he and Kelce would give me at least 30 guaranteed combined points each week). Or should I go Dalvin Cook in the second? Is the third too early to take Mahomes? Should I hope he falls to the fourth round? He's projected for the fifth round, but people get crazy, especially since I dominated last year with him as my QB. Help me out!

But NKU is more set off to the side of everything without much else around. Cold Spring and places are nearby but Thomas More is pretty much in the middle of everything in Edgewood/Crestview Hills.

With Thomas More becoming a University, are Edgewood and Crestview Hills going to become college towns? Seems unrealistic, but Thomas More already bought a building behind my place (I think for nursing) and they just built a new big new dorm (I think it's just for freshman). Does anyone know how much more they're planning on expanding? Are they going to build more buildings for classrooms and different colleges? They're turning NAIA, so they'll be able to offer athletic scholarships, which should also help attract students (the women's team winning the basketball National Title had to help put them on the map). Anyone know how big they plan on trying to go? Could this be big for Crestview Hills, Edgewood, and all the other towns nearby?

I'm making a swimsuit calendar of handicapped people that I'm going to call The Handicalendar! When people ask me what I do in the question/answer part of my presentations, I always say that I present to schools and colleges and then I'm also a part-time speedo model, so I thought why not make it happen?! I'm going to (hopefully) mainly sell it to high school and college bookstores in the area to start but also to any stores in the area. I only have a few models, so does anyone know of anyone else that would be in it?! I'm not looking to make money off of it, but hopefully I'll get some sponsors and be able to pay the models something (and more if they sell a decent amount. I'm not looking to make money off of it because I just think it would be a cool idea) and cover costs. I'd also love to make one of vets missing limbs or in a wheelchair with a TBI or anything else (I'd include them in the one I'm in and might have to but I don't want people think that I believe that I deserve to be in anything on the same level as a veteran). Would this be a cool idea? Do you know anyone with a disability that would be in it?

Brian Williams- 1st team All-State tight end his senior year for CovCath and went on to play all four years at D1 Columbia University in NYC, starting two of them at tight end.

I'm pretty sure just about everybody in the class cried, including the teacher! It was pretty intense.......... the new slides with everything that I learned that happened and now truly close I was to death is just unreal. I definitely should be dead. Luckily, I'm pretty sure most of the students did, and so did the teacher and the EMT that saved my life. God definitely had his hand in this one. Listen to how much: she wasn't even an employee of the EMT squad, she just volunteered and happened to be on call that night.......... if it's anyone else, I'm dead. God had His hands in that one!

So I'm presenting to two classes tomorrow at a high school in Cincinnati and the lady that saved my life is coming to one! I described how I met her in this thread, and then I cried every day for a few weeks at random times about it (which I normally never cry, not even at funerals or anything), and I've been better the past week, but now she's coming to one of my presentations tomorrow! I edited my presentation to include her and what she did to save my life because I didn't know any of it (I always wondered how they had gotten me out of the car and everything), and yesterday was the first time that I didn't cry when we got to that part when I was presenting at a school, so I'm hoping that I can hold it together, but I'm worried that I'll completely break down! WISH ME LUCK!

There will be a run on QBs early, so a team (most likely Washington) will want to trade up to make sure they get their guy (which will be most likely Haskins, who I think will be a bust in the NFL), so we'll drop to 15 (and pick up another pick or two) and still be able to take Cody Ford, who's rising up draft boards and will be a steal!

Had to go down to Lexington to present to a class at UK in the morning. Was so tired that I came home, ate, answered emails about presenting more (one of the students actually emailed me about presenting to her school before I even got home), and then slept most of the day!

Unreal......... I'm still in shock. I can barely function. The only reason I'm alive is because of this lady. How many people ever experience something like that? I wish it had brought her back sooner! I never even knew much about how they got me out or anything (like I said) or about anything that happened just after because I don't ask people that were there because I don't want them to have to relive it again. I'm definitely lucky that UC is right here because I'm about 99% sure I'd be dead if we didn't have a nationally ranked trauma center this close. A cop that was in the cemetery told my friends that I was already dead because I looked so bad. God bless her! I'd really love her to come to one of my presentations to see my full story. Unbelievable. Thank you! I'm trying to share with the world! It's not every day that someone meets the person that saved their life!

And I didn't even know she had saved my life! The car we wrecked in was small and it was crunched by the tree, so I always wondered how they had gotten me out without ripping the car apart. Yesterday, I'm getting my hair cut, and I turn around afterwards and there's this lady looking at me with coloring in her hair and she says "you're Brad Fritz?" I just smile and nod. She says "I was in the car with you!" I just smile and nod again. She repeats herself. Is this lady drunk? What car? It was only me, the passenger and the driver in the wreck. I just smile and nod. She says "you were my first call." Now, I'm kind of curious, but still not sure what she's talking about. "I was a first responder to the cemetery the night of the wreck. They couldn't get to you because the car was so crunched up and I was small enough to fit in it, so we knocked out the back windshield, I climbed in, opened your airway, got you breathing, and then lifted you out the back............." I just start BAWLING crying, and I NEVER cry. If they had waited for the jaws of life or even just used their tools to bust it all open and get me out, there's no way that I survive. I've met the pilot of AirCare that flew me to the hospital in Cincinnati, I've met the cop who called AirCare, and I've met a few other people, but this lady is literally the reason that I'm alive! I kept crying for the next two hours and I've cried off and on since it happened!

I didn't realize it was a late start. I thought that it was 30 or 40 minutes behind. Refs are letting them play and not calling many fouls and seems like a lot of players from both sides are getting away with a lot of walks.

Now it's playing but it's pregame so I think it's delayed.
