Thanks for the detail H. I'm glad to here the field has improved since the Manual game. Of course it wouldn't take much since we gat a bazillion inches of rain that week. This should help both Male's and X's Mr. Football candidates improve their respective statistics. FYI. "Bermuda and Zoysia are kissing cousins. They both go dormant and turn brown at first frost. Both are Warm Season Grasses. There is very little difference in root structure and blade texture. Both provide a deep lush carpet like appearance". It's amazing what you can learn on this message board. :thumb: GO TIGERS!:thumb:

Bama L - I'm with you on the no injuries thing. By the way, you'd make a pretty good politician. You answered the question without answering the question. H said, in an earlier post, in another thread, after the Manual game, that the field got tore up pretty bad between the hash marks from end zone to end zone. Does this mean it's all dirt now or did the grass have an opportunity to recover before the cold weather set in? That Zoysia Grass doesn't like cold weather ya know.:confused: Did the PRP game last week do further damage to the turf? Will it be a fast track or slow? :lol:

Birdsfan, No need for apology. I would have added it to this thread myself if I knew how. Thanks. :thumb: GO TIGERS!:thumb:

Sorry Guys I'm just to lazy to go back and figure this one out from the other Male vs. St. X Thread. So in the spirit of Election Day; VOTE and VOTE often.

I just hope Tailgaters can recover from all the Hysteria of the ESPN Thursday Night Game of the Week before we get there, or for some of us, before we get back there, on Friday. :dancingpa :dancingpa :dancingpa GO CARDS!

H, The pixs in the CJ on Saturday morning didn't show the field being that bad. They didn't have much mud on them. Either the field wasn't as bad as Manual or they were taken in the very early seconds of the first quarter.

I understand history plays a big part in your statement here Ram2003. I for one very much respect your position. But after seeing that field Friday night against Butler; which during warm ups looked more like Taylorsville Lake than a Football Field, watching at least 500 to 600lbs of the field walk out of the stadium on the players helmets, pants, jerseys, socks and in their cleats, not being able to see the yard lines on the field, having to squint real hard to even make out the gianormous "M" that is normally unmistakable at mid-field, hearing the PA announcer say, "Tackle made by Corey O'Daniel.......but I've been wrong before", because he couldn't read the number on the players jersey. IT'S A NO-BRAINER! You go to the PIZZA BOX!.

GOOD LUCK to Both! Here's to a good game and no injuries for either!

I've heard Artificial Turf is on the horizon!:jump:

Congratulations Baby Bengal's on a 7 and 1 Season and an undefeated season in the State of Kentucky having lost to only Cincinnati, Moeller. :thumb: GO TIGERS!:thumb:

No!

That's FUNNY!

Luck, Is this confirmed?

Not all the way thru the District, but all the way thru the 3 teams involved in the 3-way tie. Once the 3 tied team seedings are determined it reverts back to district record. Unless there is a tie there.....Let's not even go there. PREDICTION: On a wet, muddy, sloppy field, with more 2's in the game than normal, Birdie says: St. X - 35 Butler - 10 :thumb: GO TIGERS!:thumb:

Attempted explanation: If I am reading this correctly, 1. You look at all the other teams you played during the regular season (excluding those teams involved in the tie). 2. You narrow that down to only the teams you beat. 3. You assign a point value to those teams based on how many wins they had during their season. (i.e. They have 6 wins = you get 6 pts.) 4. You then get to choose the 4 teams, who, when added together, give you the highest point total. 5. Whichever team involved in the tie has the highest point total becomes the No. 1 seed, 2nd highest is the No. 2 seed, and so on.

I looked for a retraction on line @ CourierJournal.com and could not find it, apparently the CJ doesn't print their retractions/corrections on their web page. I located a print version here at work and found it on page A2 with all their other corrections. It Reads: "District Football Title Because of incorrect information from the Kentucky High School Athletic Association, a high school notebook yesterday in Sports erroneously said that Male had already clinched the Class 4-A, District 4 football title."

The St. X Junior Tigers took their road game to Shively last night and came away with another shutout. Congradulations Junior Tigers an a good season. :thumb: GO TIGERS!:thumb:

H, According to an E-mail reply I just got back from the CJ High School Sports Reporter who wrote the article in today's paper, the KHSAA is the one who got it wrong. He agreed with me (See my post #36 in this thread). He said, "The KHSAA made the same mistake I did because they have Male listed as the district winner in the standings on their Web site". He new about the the tie breaker rule and completely forgot about it. He is planning on printing a retraction in tomorrow's CJ Edition. Thus he confirmed that IF Manual beats Male it would move X to the top as the #1 seed based on stength of schedule. Sorry to all my Male friends out their, but all I can say is: :dancingpa GO RAMS!:dancingpa

This is TOOOOOO! Funny! They must be soul mates!

I too am impressed Ram54. :walk: You da Man! Jimmyref! You da Maaaan!

After my post I discovered this question was addressed and explained very well by Watusi in post #3, in the following thread: http://www.bluegrasspreps.com/showthread.php?t=105174 There is a lot of research that must be done in order to determine the winner in the case of a 3-way district tie for first place. Attempted explanation: If I am reading this correctly, 1. You look at the 8 other teams you played during the regular season (excluding those teams involved in the tie). 2. You narrow that down to only the teams you beat. 3. You assign a point value to those teams based on how many wins they had during their season. (i.e. They have 6 wins = you get 6 pts.) 4. You then get to choose the 4 teams, who, when added together, will give you the highest point total. Again excluding the teams involved in the tie. 5. Whichever team involved in the tie has the highest point total becomes the No. 1 seed, 2nd highest is the No. 2 seed, and so on. This research is so involved, I'll wait until it's a reality and necessary. No, I'll probably defer to the powers that be and except their wisdom. Bottom line:A win by Manual will raise some very interesting possibilities!

Who Wins? Why? By how much? It's time to finish strong! :thumb: GO TIGERS!:thumb:

Okay 02Ram54, Male wins this game and the district sets up this way: Male No. 1 @ 5 and 0 X No. 2 @ 4 and 1 Rams No. 3 @ 3 and 2 PRP No. 4 @ 2 and 3 Everybody knows this. But, just for argument sake let's say Manual pulls off the upset (Hey! It could happen) and X wins against Butler (most likely to happen). That means X beat Manual, Manual beat Male and Male beat X. We have a head to head round house tie in district play. You go to district record, each team has 4 wins and 1 loss. Still tied! What's the next determining factor for seeding in the playoffs? Is it the overall season record? If so; then the district still ends up like this Male No. 1 @ 9 and 1 X No. 2 @ 8 and 2 Rams No. 3 @ 7 and 3 PRP No. 4 @ 6 and 4 So winning or loosing in the Male-Manual Rivalry game means nothing to either teams standings. Therefore this game is 100% for PRIDE! Pride and Emotion is a DANGEROUS, DANGEROUS thing! Pride and Emotion, coupled with Male's hard fought BATTLE last week against X and what looks like on the surface a pretty easy win for Manual against Iroquois and BAM! There ya have it! An upset in the making! Birdiecat prediction: Rambikins 17 Dawgs 16 Good luck to both sides for a clean fought game with NO injuries.

Good Job BABY BENGALS! :dancingpa The future looks bright for the TIGERS!:banana:

Except for maybe a little AUNT JEMIMA SYRUP! :sssh:
