Ditto, ditto, ditto. He's not only a super basketball player, but he's a great kid from a wonderful family. Way to go, Robbie!

Congratulations, Robbie! What an outstanding young man and athlete. You and your fine family are an asset to Clark County.

How many points did Cameron Hall have?

Congratulations, Cardinals! Keep showing the state of Kentucky and national tv audiences what a great team you are. Not bad defense, either...holding the great Notre Dame to about 42% shooting tonight. T Will was a beast tonight! I'll take a 14-point win anyday, especially over another Big East team. Go Cards!

Most of the time that's true. But, the refs didn't have a problem with it when Patrick Sparks walked, stepped on the out of bounds line (no foul called), and took a last second three point shot when UK played UL in Freedom Hall. The refs called Myles for a foul on Sparks and the crowd stood and watched Sparks take 3 free throws to beat UL.

Cameron Hall had 20, don't know about the rest of the stats.

There's also the General George Patton Museum located at Fort Knox. Located on 31W (Dixie Hwy) just north of the Gold Vault and the newest Kentucky Veterans Cemetery, this museum is also accessible to the public without going through checkpoints. Originally dedicated by Patton's wife in 1949, the museum was remodeled and enlarged in 1992. On the inside it contains WWI, WW2, and Post War Galleries, gift shop and the largest collection of Patton artifacts in the world. Outside are located armor and artillery displays, Armor Memorial Park and Keyes Park. It's a great place for field trips, group trips, or people who are just military history buffs. Hosting over 125,000 visitors a year, the Patton Museum is one of the largest in the entire Army's museum system. It's well worth a day's drive to take the family for a visit. Kids love to perch on the military vehicles for photo ops.

Don't forget the Gold Vault at Ft. Knox.

So glad to see the discussion of Ft. Knox and Ft. Campbell schools' football programs. A lot of the younger students and players on our message boards aren't familiar with our big military posts and their high schools. Since I live here, I know more about Ft. Knox than Campbell. Ft. Knox covers over 109,000 acres (170+ sq. mi.) spread across three counties and is Kentucky's 7th largest urban community. One town, Muldraugh, is completely encircled by the reservation. Its census shows 23,000 soldiers and families with a day-time population of over 33,000 (cilivian workers, etc.) M-F. And, of course, with the new BRAC realignment, many more families are soon expected. The construction crews are practically working night and day to get new housing ready on post, including a new, state-of-the-art, $16M Ft. Knox High School to be completed in May 2009. Also, the surrounding communities are building new homes and new schools, especially in Hardin County, anticipating the added growth. I have a lot of friends associated now and formerly with the Fort Knox program. So, it'd be great to see them rise again to their fame of yore. Go Eagles!

Good points. But, I wonder why Rick Warren, pastor of the megachurch, Saddleback, in California, didn't receive such attacks and criticism from the media when he hosted the presidential debate in a so-called civil forum last month. Some publications describe Saddleback also as a nondenominational, evangelical church because its attendees are from various faiths and backgrounds. I just wondered why Palin's nondenominational, Bible church was held to such scrutiny, while Warren's was not.

Amen. You just made an A+ on your first exam in my NT Survey 102 class!

While some families still like to live off base, there are many who choose to remain on post and occupy the beautiful new "subdivision type housing" at Fort Knox instead of the old quarters of which many have been or are in the process of being torn down. With the BRAC realignment even more families will soon be moved to Ft. Knox and the student population of Ft. Knox DOD school system should greatly expand once again. However, I believe that the waning of Ft. Knox football began with the loss of Coach Joe Jaggers to the neighboring North Hardin High School in Radcliff. Joe had his pick of talent in this large high school of about 2200 students. And he knew what to do with it. Coach Jaggers is a member of the KHSAA Sports Hall of Fame and was a highly successful football coach of winning programs at different schools throughout the state. His Trigg County teams won back-to-back Class A titles in '71 and '72; at Fort Knox his teams won Class AA championships in '83, '88, and '90 and were runners-up in '84. His teams were regional champions 12 times. And he had two sons who were fantastic football players: Marty is coaching in Harrodsburg and the younger Crad is in his first year as coach of North Hardin where, incidentally, I read that he won his first game, knocking off Shelby County. I'd like to see Ft. Knox become competitive once again, but it's going to be hard to replace an icon like Joe Jaggers. Maybe this new coaching staff will be a good beginning.

Central Hardin is one of three high schools in the Hardin County School District. It has an enrollment of about 1800 students and, even though it is listed with a Cecilia, Ky address, it is situated only a couple of miles west of Elizabethtown.

Nice compliment, Fastbreak.

Way to go, Brohm. You make us all very proud. Now, show Green Bay what ya' got.

Mark it down. It is official. Jeff Hall is the new head basketball coach at Glasgow. Nice article in the Glasgow Daily Times on July 25. A complete story on Hall's hiring with details from Friday's press conference will appear in the Sunday, July 27's edition.

He will also be a faculty member, teaching health and P.E.

You've initiated a very interesting topic for discussion. It reminded me of an article that I read (and kept) several years ago on Billy Graham's daughter, Anne Graham Lotz. In the May 1, 2000 issue of Time, David Van Biema wrote the story, "The Preacher's Daughter." There were several quotes in the article by Michael Maudlin of Christianity Today and William Martin, Billy's biographer. "Even Billy says she's the best preacher in the family." ("I agree," says Franklin.) Yet the plaudit carried an asterisk. At a 1988 pastors' conference, many in Lotz' audience ostentatiously turned their chairs around so as not to face a preaching woman. Says Martin: "There was no chance of her taking [the leadership] role in the BGEA hierarchy because she's the daughter instead of the son." In fact, despite being on the BGEA board, Lotz has only once had a major part in a Crusade." The picture of Billy Graham's daughter, at the podium, having to speak to rebelling pastors who've turned their chairs and backs on her etched an indelible image in my mind. What if the members in these guys' churches showed such disrespect to them during a Sunday morning sermon? How would they feel? Not only Anne, but how do you think Billy and Franklin and the rest of the family felt? And, most of all, how do you think God felt watching this display of disrespect? That was a fine example of senior pastoral leadership to the young associate and youth pastors in the crowd. So, Anne still chooses not to be ordained and calls herself a Bible expositor not a preacher, and her "Just Give Me Jesus" theme is technically aimed at women. The article ends with Lotz saying, "When people have a problem with women in the ministry, they need to take it up with Jesus. He's the one who put us here." Enough said.

Great post because it is factual. Wonder if Alabama got as many jealous remarks when they went 6-6 last year. And wonder what comments will be made when Petrino sticks it to Arkansas like he did UL and the Falcons. I've always heard that people who live in glass houses shouldn't be throwing stones.

We may not be considered rural, but we urbanites in Louisville and NKY do get the joke.

I believe Obama's (now former) church was Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC).

Christian Academy of Louisville (CAL) is quite unique. It is comprised of four different campuses with a total of 3069 students and is listed as the largest Protestant school in the United States. Quite impressive!

You make a good point; however, the scripture is "For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil..." found in I Tim. 6:10. Granted, there're a lot of greedy people in this world, but, thank goodness, there are still a few who don't let money be their god.

Listen to your wife, she sounds like a smart woman! And while you're at it, cheer with her for the UL women who also play North Carolina on Saturday!

Someone else from the media asked the same question and was told that when Mitch Barnhart was contacted, he said that the commercial "was not in the best interest for UK." Go figure. Guess it's the same reason that Monday, Labor Day, is not in the best interest of UK football either...
