Any word on the injuries for the Rocks?

Given the youth of this squad they will be absolute beasts by season's end.

Holy carp!

Score please

41-35 Rocks

Score?

28-21 Rocks

They both lost! Want to be top 10 earn it! Sick of overrated Louisville schools Trinity needs the boot also!

It's absolutely precious when you all get cocky like this. Downright adorable. :bunny:

If the big Louisville schools are overrated and they have dominated NKY and Lexington over the years what does that make those schools? Less then irrelevant? Cannon fodder? Hollow shells that just need a swift kick to collapse? Seems to be the case anytime they come to play the Rocks considering the last win against T from any of those schools was in what, 2004?

Let's put up before we puff our chest. Trinity has proven themselves, X has proven themselves, Male has proven themselves, as has Scott County... NKY has proven to be nothing more than a minor speed bump consistently. So until NKY or Lexington can beat a quality team as opposed to just punching around the other also-rans, they will consistently be ranked below even a 1 loss team from the powerhouses.

What I’ve found is the excitement stops around Thanksgiving.

And when some of us try to help people be a bit more reasonable in their expectations we get people all mad at us for trying to the straight man in this narrative.

I seem to recall this moment in the 2014 state game.

I don't think Coach Wallace lost his coaching ability in Horse Cave on his way up I-65.

I agree, but first real game with a new team and new school is different than practice and a scrimmage.

Besides, people need to remember that Beatty lost his first game at Trinity in 2000. This sort of thing is not unusual.

Maybe St. Xavier just isn’t very good this season. Hard to base anything on one game

That's one of the things that I have been thinking. We are looking at a squad with a new head coach, playing with a new offense, and without their starting QB. I think that the X squad we see by the end of the season will be much different than the team we see now as they get more comfortable with everything.

Not to take anything away from the Colts, I was stoked to see this, but I think people are still overlooking those details.

Male, replace this game on the schedule with someone worthy of playing Male H.S.

Look out of state. Take a page from Trinity H.S.

To be fair this is technically out of state.

DeSales holds, Moretti tackled for a loss.

 

DeSales takes over at their own 5.

Wow!

Always been surprised at how large of school Jeffersonville is and seem to never be good in football. I’ll take Southwestern in this one.

Only good teams in Indiana are further north, down by the river they don't care at all.

St. X and Flaget was the rivalry. They were both Xaverian taught schools. The game was played on Sunday afternoon at the Fairgrounds Stadium. I am sure that Trinity and Flaget were rivals.

The problem is that Flaget was only open from about 1948 to 1973. About 25 years. Trinity opened about 1958 or so. I am probably a year or two off on both. Someone can help here.

1953

I love it!

As a Louisville City FC supporter, I’d have been all in on a purple bridge.

As a supporter of the Flavians, I myself would also support Purple. Ave Imperator!

For me...yes it would great if Coach Wallace was able to beat Trinity this season, but it’s more than that. It’s the ability to compete consistently. Can X consistently move the football against T? Can X put together consecutive stops on defense? It’s more than just Coach Wallace, but it can’t be “beat Trinity or it’s failure.” Especially in the first year. Coach Wallace is too smart and experienced not to get wins against Trinity, and obviously it won’t be easy,and it shouldn’t.

 

I will say this, I feel much more confident as a fan heading into a season for X football than I have in about 5 years.

On top of all of that Wallace has experience and a history of success as a coach. While Wolford's heart may have been in the right place and he may have been a great player that doesn't translate automatically to coaching ability. I think Wallace is much better prepared for the challenges ahead of him.

Frankly I felt like this was just milking the cow. Of course I wasn't keen on the original Jurassic Park because I read the book first so take my thoughts on it with a grain of salt.

I just feel like these follow the same basic plotline. Man made creatures, didn't take them seriously enough, got greedy, creatures get loose, chaso ensues, heroes survive... oh also take a shot every time someone says something about "Playing God."

This hire will prove to be a bust. The hire they should have made was coach Todd Walsh. Outsiders never do well coaching at Saint Xavier.

Our most successful coach of all time was an "outsider," let's not cast stones on this one.

You know i am talking about louisville ky Saint Xavier don’t you ? Louisville Trinity played by far the toughest schedule in Kentucky as well in the tri- state area. Trinity

For the last 20 years has scheduled the toughest teams in the regional area. In that same period of time, Saint Xavier might have two tough teams on their schedule.

You do realize that their district makes ours look like paper mache, right? We have to go farther on account of that.

I think the top teams were tougher for us for sure but the weakest teams were waaay weaker, but there is no question that if you average it out they were pretty close overall.

It shows the importance of educating ourselves on the facts, particularly when we have a strong stance. My original stance was based on preconceived ideas, without much actual knowledge.

 

I agree on the criminal-mindedness. What was the real reason for making it a Schedule 1 drug?

Suggesting Heroin and Marijuana are even in the same Universe is silly.

A couple of reasons that come to mind. Initially it was pressure from border states because it was something that was common among Mexican workers, and in our "enlightened" minds of the time it was assumed to be a moral failings and caused social ills. Much like how the Temperance League villianized all alcohol consumption. Hence the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, though it didn't make it illegal per se it made it de facto illegal. In order to posses and sell it you needed a special tax stamp but in order to get said tax stamp you needed to have it in your possession. A nominal number of tax stamps were "issued" but never given out. This is because even back then it was not popular to ban any substance, the public wasn't inclined to go along with it. Fast forward to the 1960s the law was overturned by the SCOTUS as unconstitutional per the 5th Amendment. However given its popularity with the beatniks and hippies and the counterculture in general it was made a scapegoat by the "law and order" crowd. So public support was finally behind the idea of banning substances hence the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 which codified what was Schedule I.

That's just a very very basic rundown.

I don't speak to or see mine anymore. 5 and a half years together, 6 months married, and unpleasantly divorced.

I periodically see her mom, but only because she ended up being the godmother to my youngest niece.

So here's my question. Pseudoephedrine purchases are tracked and people are able to purchase only a certain quantity in a certain time frame. In a previous discussion about this it was also implied that if a person made several attempts to purchase outside of their buying window, their name could be turned over to law enforcement. We still have an issue with meth even with all those safeguards, but that's another discussion. Why couldn't that sort of system be set up for opioids?

KY has one called KASPER that MDs and pharmacies are supposed to use. MDs are supposed to run a KASPER report before prescribing any controlled substances (not just opiods). Pharmacies then report the details of the fill to KASPER so the database is up to date. If you were ever asked for a SS# when picking up or dropping off a medication in KY that was due KY's KASPER requirements.

Pseudoephedrine is not a prescription only medication and as such they can track all purchases through methcheck which is nationwide. The US is a patchwork of drug laws that very from state to state and not all drugs are even under the same restrictions from state to state.

I could be wrong, but it looks like all but one (Rite Aid)of these are small, privately owned pharmacies. Probably one or two in every small town in the county, none of which likely do big volume. In most larger, more populated areas, these small pharmacies have been pushed out by the national brands. I'm guessing that's why there are so many for such a small population.

You would be surprised at the volume that independents do. Usually they are not so much "pushed out" as much as the owner wants to retire and calls Walgreens, Rite Aid, or CVS and asks if they want to buy him out.

The only remark you'll get from me is that it isn't something new. Go back one hundred or two hundred years and check out things like laudanum and opium. Addiction has always been a problem - today the world is bigger and the news is more available, thus you see it even more.

They also didn't have the same concept of addiction back then. To many treating the cravings by giving the substance was actually treating whatever "disease" it was. Back then Heroin and morphine were considered to be safer than alcohol by much of society. A morphine addict and heroin addict didn't beat his wife or start fights at saloons, but a drunk did.

And access was even easier then too, you didn't even need a prescription for any of it until 1914.

Those numbers just posted above are very misleading. Look up the population of Clay county, 20,000 and change. In a year they dispensed app 2.8 million doses. If these pills were dispensed to people like me with back problems, which a lot of people have, and receive 2 doses a day (pills) like I do, it would only take roughly 3840 people (or 25% of the adult population) to have a prescription like mine per year to make that huge number. Some people get way more than that. I'm not saying there aren't companies at fault somewhere but let's be realistic with the numbers.

People often come from neighboring counties too so the numbers can be inflated a bit due to those populations.
