  1. Winners never quit and quitters never win....you should ALWAYS stick it out.
  2. Sounds to me like Tubman will be a Cat....bring on signing day:clap:
  3. This game shocked me. Ashland handled Ironton fairly easily last year by a score of 26-12, I believe and it didn't seem that close. Ashland appears to be an improved team this year. Ironton struggles a bit with Russell and Ashland destroys Russell. By all indications Ashland appeared to be a favorite entering this game. Ironton was clearly better prepared physically and mentally for this game and really wanted it more than Ashland. It is never an embarrassment to lose to Ironton but I NEVER saw this score coming. It will be interesting to see how Hart's team regroups. I expect them to come back strong but probably as an overall contender. Just my perspective.
  4. If the crowds are heavy the "fast pass" is your best friend!

    Golf

    Titleist woods, Calloway Fusion irons, play at Bellefonte in Ashland, current handicap 3, play as often as possible maybe 3 or 4 times a week in good weather. Golf is the greatest game, I have heard a thousand times "I wish that I started when I was younger". I was fortunate to come from a golf family and have played nearly all my life. I feel like I have come full circle-I now play at the club where my father grew up as a caddie boy in the 1930's and early 40's to make money for his family. Thanks Dad!
  6. My opinion-Russell was, indeed, in complete control of the game when he got the idol from JT/Heroes. He had the Heroes confidence as well as his own tribes. Just hold onto the idol quietly("JT, I didn't need to play it"). He let his ego get in the way and now he and Parvati have left themselves wide open. I think the Heroes will now take complete control. Sandra is the key person know.

    If you are staying at the Wynn, you should try to see "Jersey Boys" right across the street at the Palazzo-fantastic show! I would also rocommend seeing one of the Cirque du Soleil shows. Also, if you want to get away from the strip, head out to Red Rock Canyon for a half day venture, well worth the time.:thumb:
  8. I've been to Augusta and knew exactly where every picture was except the first one-that one must be the new driving/practice range-correct?
  9. Here is my simple way to speed up play and I am sure most of you won't agree at all. Instead of 3 strikes to K or 4 balls to walk, make it 2 and 3, respectively. Batters and pitchers will have to be ready to go from the first pitch. Starters will be able to pitch more innings, less relievers will speed up the game, I see no real downside. Another way would be that the batter must enter the batters box at the direction of the umpire and can't exit the box, he must be prepared to hit at all times. The pitcher just throw the ball within an specified time(sort of a time clock) or he is assessed a ball. If you keep the batter in the box and the pitcher throwing, the game WILL speed up.
  10. When my wife and I did Chicago(and a Cubs game) we stayed at the House of Blues Hotel downtown. This motel overlooked one of the rivers, had a H of B restaurant and a short walk from Michigan Ave, Harry Carry's, etc. It's worth looking into.
  11. I am calling it a toss up. I saw Turner in person last week against Michigan. He is a great all around "team" player and he does have some talent around him. For 6' 7", he is very smooth off the dribble and seems like a class act. One Wall item not mentioned is how many games he has taken over at the end to secure or pull out a win-probably 4 or 5. I suggest Co-winners!
  12. I will watch, but the show looses credibility with Ellen. A comedian? I don't get it.:confused:
  13. I am not a Buckeye hater by any means, but I think they need to beat an SEC school in a meaningful game to get over the hump perception wise. All the more reason for a playoff. BTW, I do think Prior grew up a bit by the end of the season, which bodes well for next year.
  14. Agreed! Locke has been a little too loose with his lips at time. This time I think his actions spoke loudly. You should never, ever, leave the field before a game is over. It's almost like turning your back on your teammates, not to mention poor sportsmanship toward your opponent. If he comes back, I think an apology would certainly be in order.
  15. Heroes vs. villains starts in February, I think. They did not show any of the participants. Not sure if Russel will be in it or not. I hope so.
  16. Ok, I can agree that we do not know went on other than the edited version. The edited version is, indeed, all we have to go by. Since that is all we had to go by, then the assumption is that they included all the critically important happenings. Russel truly seemed to be the survivor who was "extremely involved" to say the least. Natalie, who I thoroughly liked and could hardly find fault with, played the game extremely passively compared to Russel. For goodness sake he found, I believe, 3 idols without clues, that's never remotely happened before. He manipulated the game from beginning ot end according to the edit.He played the game as well as anyone ever has. Natalie won to me because she was likable, which she truly was(I really liked her, believe me!) and Russell lost because he made his opponents look so bad. I couldn't believe someone never took the lead, late in the game, to get rid of Russell, if Natalie would have done that, she would have been deserving of the winner but she did not. Also, I couldn't understand why Mick apparently did not get any votes. In the end Russel shouldn't have taken a beautiful, extremely likable girl with him to the final three. Ok, I have said enough. Merry Christmas to all!
  17. I agree completely, Russel was the hands down, no brainer winner in this one. It was really disappointing to me that he did not win. He was great entertainment. Glad he at least go the $100k from the fans.:thumb:
  18. You never know what will happen till these players show up for practice. Aaron Boyd was a 4 start and Cobb a 3 star and we know the rest of the story to this point. That being said I certainly hope UK could get Lewis to campus for good.
  19. How about people who abuse parking in handicap parking places? I'm talking about the ones who have the sticker but are not deserving-which seems to be almost all of them. This is my hot button topic.:madman:
  20. For those of you who are more astute than I-What is the strict definition of a "team rebound"?
  21. I personally hate the play where the player jumps up, catches the ball and calls time out. The worst play in all of basketball!:madman: What I really hate about this play is when the referee rules the ball/player was out of bounds, going against the player attempting to call a time out. The referee then gives the ball out to the other team without assessing a time out when the player clearly signaled for a TO. If the officials would assess a time out then maybe this play would go away. Shouldn'T the official assess a timeout in this situation???
  22. Go see a Broadway play-the half price ticket booth is in the middle of Times Square. Eat at Bubba Gump's overlooking Times Square. Go to Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island, not at all overrated in my book. There is a Madam Touso's Wax Museum just off Times Square. Check out Central Park for sure, but have some sort of plan-it is HUGE. Go to the Top of the Empire State Building for the great view. Take a tour of Madison Square Garden. Eat a hot dog from a stree vendor. Fantastic place, lots to do, enjoy.

    Blind side

    Maybe my all time favorite "sports related" movie. It was probably more about life that football. I think it's a must see. Tim McGraw-I thought he did very well, my wife and I didn't even realize it was him till late in the movie. Sandra B is outstanding on all levels.:ylsuper:
  24. Great win! As a result, a win over Tennessee is a "Cobb-Locke"!
