  1. Don't want to threadjack, so I'll just ask and maybe we can start a thread someplace. Anyone know more about this documentary or where it could be found? Also seems like KET did a documentary on high school basketball around 1999ish. Are these the same?

  3. Well....umm..that's a VERY good team right there. Well done. That team wins a lot of college games. I'd probably replace Weyer with that Drew kid he played with at NCC.
  4. Great post, great questions. In my heart and mind, I want to believe we will be restarting things the beginning of May. Realistically, I have very high doubts about things being close to normal even in July. That's 3 more months like this, and I'm not sure our society could handle that. On the bolded, I think the reason no one is addressing it, is because no one knows. There's nothing finite about this issue, so anything said is going to be a guess. Personally, I think the "endgame" is going to have to happen sooner than many medical leaders would like because as a whole, Americans want what we want when we want it, and we are used to that. Not being negative there, that's just how we are used to living and I don't think a 6, 9, or 12 month "besafeathome" slogan is going to work
  5. Had some great whiffle ball games back in the day, but for me it was a nerf football by a wide margin.
  6. Great thread, great quotes. A few I may be heard to utter: "What we have here is a failure to communicate." And I've never seen the movie, just love the line. "Son, your ego is writing checks that your body can't cash." "Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit drinking." "Houston, we have a problem." "And the hits keep on comin."
  7. I've noticed this too. Everyone seems extremely friendly. I can't remember ever getting so many smiles and hellos from total strangers and I consider Cincinnati a pretty friendly city.
  8. zero chance that this would ever be given one second thought for many of the reasons listed by others, and many not listed. There are a ton of reasons not to do it, and No reason to even think about it. If you want to start a good debate though, propose moving soccer to to the Spring and baseball and softball to the Fall.
  9. Life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop to take a look around once in a while, you might just miss it.
  10. Good stuff. Looks like the Vikings sent you a media guide, that's a pretty comprehensive booklet (usually). That's pretty cool. Flip side, I loved the Green Bay response.
  11. In so many ways I agree with this. Great post. But things are different at the moment. I'm between a 4 and 5 because I have family members who are older but are smart folks with a plan, I'm lucky. I want to see how this plays out for a few weeks. Maybe we'll have a better idea then. For the kids, I couldn't agree more Hoops, they are basically going into a quarantine and they are not sure why. I really hate that, especially for seniors. But sometimes life changes our plan and that's when you learn to be strong
  12. Yep. During one of his pressers during the girls Sweet 16, Julian was asked about Spring sports and maybe baseball specifically. He said they had been consistent about this all along, and until the start of the state tournament it would be a local decision.
  13. The KHSAA stand on Spring sports is going to be no stand. This is a local decision up until the time district tournament play starts.
  14. This. It was a bad idea to begin with that has run its course. Let's get to the biggest games of the year and bring in strangers who are going to call the game differently than it has been called most of the kids careers? Solid thinking there
  15. Runcible Owl, I like your efforts to add more positive threads to the girls basketball forum. Well done.
  16. It seems odd in today that this was the case, but a network TV 2 part move, or maybe it was a mini series from Stephen King scared me to death. Salem's Lot. Early 80's and I was a youngster, but I still remember a lot of nights sleep being disturbed by this movie. Poltergeist was rough on me. Not a fan of slashers, but the first time I saw Halloween...
  17. Terrible idea. It's not going to change attendance, as noted by a couple of you. NCAA tourny and Sweet 16 shared dates forever with no issue, now there is one? Cmon, man. For the kids that play, still playing in March is awesome. It's basketball's month and the whole state is all basketball. For the All 'A' schools this will make most of the season feel longer than the NBA playoffs. The good 'A' teams will just come off a regional tournament and possibly a state run, and then almost start right back over with districts. For fans, I think most feel much more like driving an hour or so to go watch a few games in March than in Feb. Parking and walking to Rupp, much more pleasant (most of the time) in March than Feb. Nothing better than wearing shorts and walking in to Rupp to watch some HS basketball after listening to Marty call a Spring Training game on the trip down. If we're a basketball state and we stay one class because of tradition, then keep the traditions....
  18. Curious and all in fun, but I wonder what the ACT score is required in order to watch this game live and in the building? Lol. Or how much money could have been in attendance?
  19. My opinion, it's not cheap at KI but I don't think it is outrageous either. I like that they offer a ton of food and snack options (including many local and national places that many like. LaRosas, Skyline, Graeters (sp), Chik Fil A, Subway, etc. I don't like that they "bundle" all their meals. Everything has to be a "meal", why can't I just get a slice of pizza? Or one dang coney? I don't think there's anywhere in the park that you can just go buy a hot dog.
  20. Had a Cris Collinsworth jersey when I was a kid. Got it for XMas the year they made the Super Bowl I think. Never bought one.
  21. Exactly this! I couldn't believe the looks on the UT fans faces, classic.
  22. Still in, thanks Warm 98 for not playing it yet when I tune into Christmas music mode. Zero chance I win though...
