  1. Belfry's coaches will find a way to utilize Taylor on offense moving forward. I could be wrong, but I think he will be used primarily at HB and occasionally at SE or QB. I would throw to him a couple times a game if it were me if for no other reason than to make everyone prepare for it. He and Catron could split time in the backfield, as both of them play defense full time. For tonight, I really doubt we see Corbett behind center right off the bat. There will be a timing adjustment when he takes over and Taylor moves to another position. So my educated guess is Taylor will run the offense for at least the first couple of series, where hopefully they can get a lead and then bring Corbett in there to take over. Once he is in there, then I think he will stay throughout the rest of the playoffs barring any further injuries.
  2. Belfry has got to take better care of the football this time around. They gave Lawrence 3-4 turnovers in the first game and the Dawgs capitalized on them. One was inside the 10 and another one was deep also, inside the 25 or so. Lawrence didn't gain much on the ground but hit Dalton for several big passes against the inexperienced MASH unit secondary of Belfry. Belfry did pull away late after they curbed the penalties and turnovers, but they were pretty lucky to come out with a win. If I remember correctly it was tied at the half, and it was 21-20 at the end of the third.
  3. I think you are both right. I live in about as rural KY as you can get. While I do think the majority of people are just good hard working people who are not racist, I have to admit that there are still a lot of bigots. Most of them are not as extreme as this guy, but there are still plenty of them around, unfortunately. And I am a white, middle aged male. I can't imagine what my frame of mind would be if I were a target of their racism.
  4. Here is an old ballad about a train hobo that is too old to do it anymore but he keeps on trying. Sad lyrics and great vocals by Charlie Waller & the Country Gentlemen. The Country Gentlemen - Joe's Last Train "Standing by the railroad tracks his chin down on his chest The old man couldn't catch a train, although he tried his best A sleeping roll, a coffee pot, a jug half full of wine He threw inside the boxcar, that went on down the line" "Somewhere in his memory there lives a younger man who tried to leave the busy world he didn't understand. He gave it up and caught a train back 40 years ago. Trains kept getting faster, while poor old Joe got slow" "He don't regret the life he's lived, the rails have been his friend If nothing else he's living free to come and go again. Though time has come to claim it's toll, his age has slowed him down He knows he'll try his luck again, the next train out of town" Chorus "Poor old Joe's too old to catch a train But something keeps him trying just the same Old soldiers and old sailors have a place to go But no one helps a railroad bum like poor old Hobo Joe." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP9PlVi2q1k
  5. That is a really good one, thanks for posting that.
  6. The video was from a LEO's personal cam and I think it was the LEO asking for documents and communicating with the fire chief who was standing adjacent.
  7. A: What should be done with this guy? B: Is his job an elected position? C: Does anyone know him?
  8. Post-Racial America: Fire Chief Uses N-Word To Describe Black Family While Refusing Them Help A Kentucky news station obtained video footage from a September traffic accident that shows a local fire chief refusing to help a black family even though he provided assistance above and beyond what was called for to a white driver that was involved in the same accident. Not only did the fire chief refuse to help the family of four, he told a deputy that was on the scene that he wasn’t “taking no N-Word's here” and then laughed. The same fire chief also dismissed an Asian reporter’s questions during an open meeting last week by asking the reporter if she understood English. The video footage from the accident that was obtained by WDRB was from a body camera worn by a Bullitt County Sheriff’s deputy. The deputy’s camera showed the fire chief, Julius Hatfield, offering to assist the white driver, Loren Dicken. Hatfield tells Dicken that he’ll have some of his firefighters repair his truck’s tire while Dicken goes to the hospital to be examined. Per Hatfield’s conservation with Dicken, this would allow Dicken to avoid a towing bill. WDRB also discovered that firefighters picked up Dicken from the hospital and took him to his truck, which was waiting for him at the firehouse. Meanwhile, the other driver, Chege Mwangi, was not provided anywhere near the same amount of assistance. Despite having his wife and two children in the car, he was essentially shunted off to the side. While Dicken was being doted on by the firefighters and his truck was being tended to, the deputy asked Hatfield what they should do with the family. That is when Hatfield said, “We ain’t taking no N-Word's here.” After that conversation, the deputy asks Mwangi if he has AAA to help him with his car. Mwangi, for his part, says he found the deputy to be helpful but did notice he was not provided with the same treatment. He let it go at the time since he was uninjured. WDRB also played footage of Hatfield at an open community meeting last week where he disparaged reporter Valerie Chinn. When Chinn asked him about potential mismanagement of finances due to a number of empty firehouses in the district, Hatfield repeatedly asked her if she understood English. Below is a recap from WDRB’s website:
  9. The only difference is the assigned seat and $30 per ticket. VIP level has ticketed seats, chairback, downstairs. $60 Club level has ticketed seats, chairback, upstairs. $90 Both of them share the indoor club level.
  10. Belfry has our own business to attend to Friday night, but thanks for the offer. You can just send me $10 if you want instead of the concessions. Does that attachment mean you are supporting the Tigers?
  11. I am looking forward to seeing the results on this one. I think Raceland will come out and take care of business. Paintsville is coming down from one of the most emotional wins ever and I suspect they will not sneak up on the Rams. I really like both these teams. I've been a closet Rams fan for years and would love to see them go the distance. This Tiger team, though, is a good story and Coach Chirico has done a remarkable job since taking over the reign in Paintsville. I'm pulling for the Rams, but I will be supporting the winner of this game in future weeks. Good luck to both teams.
  12. If Belfry loses, I hope it is to Lawrence and then Lawrence goes on and wins it all. I have always been a Dawgs fan, and they always play Belfry hard, always. And I think that 2si must be the Spanish version of my username?
  13. If I lived in Maysville, I think I would go to Russell this week.
  14. You came on a really great night, lots of excitement and a great football game. Plus you got to sit with me. :ylsuper:
  15. Lester and Earl were pioneers. :thumb:
  16. I can't find that either. In the past you could buy that way, but maybe it will only be available closer to the event date. Maybe you could call the WKU ticket office and ask. 1-800-5-BIGRED or 270-745-5222
  17. Here is a tip, if you are going to purchase tix. Buy the VIP tickets in section 105-109 and that will give you access to the indoor club level where you can watch in comfort as well as keep up with NCAA football and basketball games shown on the TV's in the room. The KHSAA is selling full session tix now, but individual game tix can be bought from WKU, ticketmaster or at the gate. Russell Athletic/KHSAA State Football Finals: Site Title
  18. Anybody else have their tickets already?
  19. How do you live in a place like that and not have a storm door?
  20. I agree with you both, it looks bad for the Cos. I haven't really followed this but I have a question. Have some of these women made allegations in the past and it got burried or hushed up? Or is this the first wave of it publicly and now they are all joining in?
  21. Someone posted this on my FB page. It is from Buffalo.
  22. Incredible footage, just watching that storm suck that moisture up and then it is going to dump it all back down in the form of snow. Wow.
