All Play No Work

Lots of baseball people would wonder why he is risking injury especially given his position and the fact he is carrying the ball 42 times. Why would any D1 football school use resources pursuing someone who has been upfront about Baseball (pro or college) being the choice after high school?

Kind of the beauty of the Ohio system (which has warts too) in that every game is important. Kind of opposite of KY four team districts.

While the offense has been adequate, actually the defense is accounting for many of the points via turnovers for scores and short fields.

They were not allowed to play because they acted-up when Kelly Kopowski was their teacher-for-a-day.

The point is that in the Ft. Thomas league or the middle school league you can play even if you weigh 400 pounds. You just cannot advance the ball. In the NKYFL there is a specific weight limit and if you are over that you cannot play at all.

What you are saying is true but I think what BGP Poll tries to do is compare how teams would do playing each others schedule. For example Class A school Bayside is 2-5 and Class A Valley is 6-1. Bayside owns 24 point victories over two other class A teams with a combined record of 8-4 and has lost by an average of 10 points to five Class 5A and 6A teams with a combined 25-25 won/loss record. Valley has six wins by an average of 20 points over Class A teams with a combined record of 12-18. Their one loss was by 40 points to a 5-5 Class 5A team. Who should be ranked higher? If Bayside played Valley's schedule could they be 6-1? If Valley played Bayside's schedule could they be 2-5?

Fort Thomas does not have a weight limit. There is a weight limit on who can advance the ball. Kids that weigh too much to advance the ball (QB, RBs, WRs TEs) and even on defense as in fumble recovery or INT must have a stripe on their helmet. Hence the infamous "stripers" on each team and the motto "beware the stripers."

Wes Wright is the on-field reporter who does a good job and is prepared with facts about the teams. He is not the lead guy.

It is on at 6:30 tonight (Monday) and then I guess they will put it on the ON Demand line-up. All the other football games and all the 9th region Basketball region games (Boys and Girls) are able to be watched ON Demand.

That The Guru guy is pretty good on breaking stories days before their time.... http://www.bluegrasspreps.com/showthread.php?t=131546

Thoughts on the actual live game broadcast? (Not the ICN-6 highlights with Don Webber or the Sports Page). I have some: 1. Charlie Coleman knows his football of course and he also obviously knows the history of NKY football and NKY high school sports in general. He does a good job on the broadcast. 2. The camera work at times is not the best but the overall quality of the picture is pretty good considering that the fields and camera placements are not designed for TV. 3. The on-field reporters are pretty good and again do a decent job with the interviews and trying to keep up with things happening during the games. 4. I'm considering asking the Guru to give a complimentary BluegrassPreps membership to the play-by-play guy so he can brush up on games before he does a broadcast. Thankfully Charlie is there to bale him out most of the time. Just common knowledge things about the game that if one would spend 10 minutes on Bluegrasspreps one would know. For example, saying a "35-40 yard field goal would be way out of Highlands range!!!" Huh? They've got a pretty good kicker year after year and this year is no exception. Or "Highlands has someone else at QB!!! Not sure what's going on." Oh my. Well that's happened at times throughout the season. Or this "NCC/Newport game goes in streaks. One team will win 6 or 7 in a row and then the other team will win 6 or 7 in a row. This will be NCC's what 4th consecutive win." Actually it was 8 (every year since 2000) as pointed out by the on-field reporter and the teams do not trade off winning 6 or 7 in a row.

I've watched the other games ans they do a pretty good job. Brad and Lap get pretty jacked-up at times kind of like they do during Bengals games and it is good stuff.

Not really a surprise if you look at the other LIT ratings. Out of state games do not count so the loss to Cin. LaSalle and probable loss to Cin. Elder this week do not factor. That leaves 2-3 and a 105.6 rating. Wins over: Scott (72.1) Beechwood (#1 in Class A 102.8 rating) Losses: Dixie (#7 in 5a with a 98.1) NewCath (#1 in 2A and #15 in state with a 109.4) Highlands (#2 in 5A and #5 in state with a 125.8)

I think it is a winable game for both teams. If Bellevue comes out, runs the ball, eats clock, and doesn't turn it over they will win. If they try to throw all over, then they will lose. If Lloyd's passing game can eliminate the INTs they can win. I think they can run it well enough. Slight edge to the Tigers at home.

Because they played two decent NKY teams (Bishop Brossart and Simon Kenton) and lost both matches in two games. After beating WV both those schools lost their next match easily. BB lost to Highlands and SK lost to Ryle.

Fox Sports Ohio It is on Insight Cable (channel 49)

Thursday night special for TV. Does Farris run the Rebels past Dixie? Does Dixie bounce back from a bad loss to Holmes?

Should be a competitive game. Who gets an elusive win?

Both teams coming off wins. Beechwood a little banged up. Can Holy Cross finally put together a complete game and knock off Beechwood?

Both teams coming off losses in district play. Both own a win over Newport and both got thumped by Dayton. Who bounces back in this one?

Playing without Bankamper in the playoffs last year showed that the Beechies have multiple weapons. I think this was a very important win for the Beechwood season.

Final I have no details.

Anytime you want if you have Digital On-Demand cable. If you have regular it is replayed Saturday and Sunday and Monday I think but I forget the exact times.
