Kentucky Women's Basketball Coach
UK needs a change. Her results will put a damper on getting quality recruits.

Welcome....
Montgomery County and the Rising Stars coordinator hosted some good games Saturday. I don’t have exact scores but Ashland defeated Simon Kenton handily, Corbin defeated Pulaski County around 10, Pikeville defeated Boyd County by 1, Owsley County defeated Mercer County by 12 and Montgomery County defeated CAL by 9.

Kentucky vs. Kansas Predictions/Updates
Without their Bigs I don’t see UK beating KU. I’m predicting Jayhawks by 7.

Please post upcoming scrimmages
Montgomery County is hosting a bunch of scrimmages Saturday the 18th. Owsley County plays Mercer County. I don’t know who else will be there or who Montgomery plays.

2nd Region Boys Basketball Preview
Good analysis of the region! By the way, what is the year that the Christian County-Hopkinsville consolidation and new school will begin? And what has been chosen as a school name and mascot. I haven’t heard much about that merger lately.

14th Region Boys Basketball Preview
The region is weak this year when compared to the rest of the state’s regions but someone still has to win it and head to Rupp in March. That someone will most likely be Perry Central, Breathitt County or Knott Central.

Alabama at Kentucky Predictions/Updates
Bama won’t have any problems winning this game. By guess by 3 touchdowns or more.

Bob Knight dies at age 83
I respect Knight for his coaching abilities and his successes on the hardwood (3 national titles) but as a person he was a bully and tyrant. I doubt if he was a very pleasant person to be around and I’m sure those that were had to be on guard constantly for fear of saying or doing something that would trigger his temper.

College Football Playoff: Top 25 (10/31/23)
If Georgia can take care of business they will soon move back to the number 1 spot. They will play three ranked teams in the next 3 weeks.
-
Who will be number one when the College Football Playoff rankings come out?
Does the committee take into consideration if the teams the Buckeyes defeated are no longer rated as high? If they do then most likely Georgia will be number 1.

5th Region Girls Preview
Bethlehem is loaded this year. Maybe not in the same level as Sacred Heart and Clark County but they should win the 5th and maybe go deep into Sweet 16 play.
-
Rangers vs. Astros (ALCS)
That’s a highly unusual statistic. But it proved true in their playoff with Texas.
-
The Cats Pause yearbooks.
They go to a lot of trouble producing a big sports magazine and then make it more difficult for buyers to find than John Swift’s Silver Mine. It should have been at all Walmart’s weeks ago. By the time I’m able to find one year after year most of the information I’m interested in has leaked out and I’m not very keen on buying one by that time.

Michigan being Investigated
I don’t understand? I didn’t realize there is a rule in college football prohibiting scouting the opposition.

War in Israel
It was reported that in the Somalian conflict where American troops engaged local militants that many of the Somalians were on some kind of mind altering drug when they went into battle. I think the Germans did some of the same during WW2.

If you could change one thing about Kentucky High School Football what would it be?
I’ve never liked having 6 classes. I think 4 is enough.
-
Blake and Cayden Reed have transferred to Mason County
Will the brothers give Mason enough lift to challenge Clark for the regional title? I’m not from that region, so just inquiring.
-
Does UK win a game the rest of the season?
Quarterback is below average and the team has members that are undisciplined. This season is pretty much a wrap as far as wins go.
-
Somerset 50 Danville 7
So surreal to see the Admirals humbled week after week. They have been a juggernaut for most of their history. I suppose maybe the school has lost enrollment.
-
Washington 36 Oregon 33
I’m not impressed in the least with the Oregon coach’s decision making abilities. Those 4th down attempts that were unsuccessful cost them field goals and the last one ended up costing them the game due to giving Washington a short field to tie or win.

Missouri at Kentucky Predictions/Updates
This team is so undisciplined. Jeez.

Kentucky at Georgia Predictions/Updates
Finebaun said on his ESPN show that this week would be a “coming out party” for Georgia and he is right on the mark.

Kentucky at Georgia Predictions/Updates
Kentucky is the most undisciplined team I’ve seen in a long time!

Ryder Cup in Rome
The USA is off to a horrible start in the biannual Ryder Cup losing all 4 Foursome matches to start the event and trailing in most of the Fourball matches in the early going. I don’t think the final score is going to be very pretty for the American team Sunday but I hope I’m wrong.

Brooks Robinson passes at age 86
The Orioles had another former Reds player, Frank Robinson. Cincinnati traded him for reasons I never knew and he proceeded to lead Baltimore to the 1966 World Series championship and also won the Triple Crown. And of course he was important in their 1970 championship as well. That had to be one of the worst trades in MLB history.
