Quarterback tryouts in Clifton on Monday!

Kelly is persuasive with his profanities. Petrino just likes to scream profanities. Kelly is way better at it; trust me.

Thank you Guru and moderators for not deleting this thread. I have asked everybody who insists on buying me a Christmas present to please make a contribution to an orphanage instead of spending their money on me. I have more than I could have ever hoped for, and I hope that each of you feel the same as me. Please also remember that highschool football has meaning beyond wins and losses.

A great story about sportsmanship: http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?section=magazine&id=3789373 Note from the BGP staff: This thread is in violation of rule #9, however, we have decided to make an exception just this one time.

(n) arrogance, The act or habit of making undue claims in an overbearing manner; that species of pride which consists in exorbitant claims of rank, dignity, estimation, or power, or which exalts the worth or importance of the person to an undue degree; proud contempt of others; lordliness; haughtiness; self-assumption; presumption.

I think you're right. From the Cincinnati Enquirer: “When Robbie hollers, ‘Hike,’ the center is supposed to snap it right away, but I think he couldn’t hear that well because of the noise and our linemen were already firing out,” said Schneider. “(The linemen) are supposed to look in (toward the center) in that situation, but we didn’t handle that very well.” http://nky.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20081213/SPT030201/312130038/

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Me too, froze my knickers off. Before today, looks like the largest point differential in the "large school" game is 40 points: 2004 St. X 49 - Scott County 9.

That was actually the 2002 2A final, Breathitt 52 - Corbin 0.

Here are the past finals winners and scores from the KHSAA site: http://www.khsaa.org/records/football/pastwinners.pdf

Yes.

Running clock starts at a 45 point differential in the second half.

From the Manual-Male "Old Rivalry" football game, first played in 1893. The winner of the game was awarded the "Victory Barrel", painted purple with a gold H for Male, and red with a white M for Manual. Legend has it that one of those games was played for the ownership of the letter "M", the loser had to find a different letter. http://books.google.com/books?id=pXbYITw4ZesC&pg=PA585&lpg=PA585&dq=louisville+male+story+of+the+H&source=web&ots=bxxerLLd_9&sig=xKE9UnCKz30AmxUTm9G_QGCeBXw&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=8&ct=result

Interesting. Would have been a 5 yard foul from the spot of the illegal pass and loss of down.

What was the foul they declined? Illegal forward pass?

Male
