I think that they fight the same thing many teams in Jefferson County fight. Simply getting over the mental hump. There have been very few public schools that have been able to do so. You can see the air come out of their sails when a the first bad break or two happens.

 

PRP's bark has rarely been as bad as their bite. They still run the Wing T, which will be tough business with their schedule.

I actually wouldnt call what PRP is running as Wing T...

And your assumption that he is raising money is wrong, it's been reported that his donations are way under the mark. So if you are going to make a stupid comment, have the facts.

Thats the point...he doesnt have to report.

Fred can't even make a simple decission to get in the race or not. Sure hope we don't have to depend on him to make multiple decissions for the country.

This is a stupid comment! He is actually smart by not declaring...he is able to raise more money that way.

What about that lineman from PRP that committed to Notre Dame?

PRP lost their starting center the Wed before the scrimmage (not that it made a difference in the scrimmage) so Newman had to play center as well as NG. He was no where near in shape enough to do that and was gassed very early in the scrimmage. LXC played well and PRP couldnt get any offense going at all.

Is he that good right now or does he just have the size, strength, and speed? Where does he play and what scheme does PRP run.

He is that good and is only going to get better. He is a physical specimen. He is 6'1" and about 310lbs. He is probably the strongest kid in the state. He benched 365lbs and squatted 600lbs + as a SOPHMORE. He is a 3.9 student and a heckava young man. He has worked all winter on his speed and agility.

He plays nose-guard in a 3-4 at PRP. They same thing ND recruited him for. He is the ideal nose in the 3-4, which was another reason he chose ND.

I have been to Vegas a ton...

Couple of things...

Old Vegas has gotten seedy. Crime is up there...Pick pockets etc.

Bellagio, Mandalay, and Venetian are where I would stay. Wynn is overpriced and not worth it.

MGM has changed. We hated it last time...there were--how should we say this--business women--there than anywhere I have ever been...walking right up to me and my wife.

Best restaurants:

Steak- Delmonico's in the Venetian (Emeralds steakhouse). Very $$$

Buffets'- I like 3 the best...Paris, Bellagio, and The seafood Buffett in The Rio.

Shows- Danny Ganns, O. I hated the other O shows.

I can tell you you guys this...ND was his CLEAR choice all along. UK was second. BN developed a good relationship with Joker...and Joker was the ONLY reason BN didnt commit sooner. After UK, it was Ole Miss and Stanford. UL was never in contention...At the end of the day, BN liked everything ND had to offer...From athletics to academics. Plus he is ideal for the nose in the 3-4. Coach Wolfe's system is very similar to what Brown runs at ND to that transition will be a good fit as well.

For a real story:

Van Vader ran his mouth back stage after a TV taping of WCW to Paul Orndorf. Ordorf who was in flip flops proceded to stomp a mud hole in VV's hind-end. Which in turn led to the suspension of VV who went on to Japan to fight and never to return to WCW.

Just remembered another...

Wildfire Tommy Rich (the young one..lol) in the steel cage at the Omni in Atlant against The Masked Superstar...Thats the match that the other masked man...The Super Destroyer...got in the cage too and they throttled WTR. Thats the most I have ever saw a wrestler bleed. The Superstar pounded WTR while TSD kept others from climbing in the cage.

Also, The infamous Blood battle (a la 1980ish) between Ric Flair and Roddy Piper. The match lasted almost 2 hrs and both had lost so much blood that, Flair passed out, and both had to be taken to the ER.

Jerry Lawler vs Joe Le Duc in a Canadian Strap Match. I watched it sometime in the early 80's at Rupp Arena.

That was a great one Captn... But I have to go with The Dream Machine and Lawler in the Barb wire match at Louisville gardens. TDM actually walked the bw barefoot.

Also, the King and the Superstar in the Nacho Stand...CLASSIC.

Another....The 4 horseman vs. Road Warriors, Nikita Kolaf, and Dusty Rhodes, in the scaffle match at Starcade...

WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

The best is Hammond doing Clinton....But my favorite skits were the Gore/GW skits of 2000. With Hammond and Ferrell...Lockbox and Strategery....and Them being co-Presidents to the odd-couple.

Beatty would have done the same, if not better than smith...remember, beatty won national coach of the year while in Kansas City...

Chuck Smith is the ONLY coach to ever win 5 in a row...EVER!!!

TEAM me

He has already lost more games at UL than he did the entire time at UK...and we were on Probation:thumb:

I'd tell them to pack their bags!!!!!!!!!

Just to way in on this hypothetical question. If you combined Russell and Raceland, YES. And it wouldn't have been close. Raceland had a very talented team with alot of speed.

 

But thats just my opinion.

I watched Raceland this year and I watched Russell...both are good teams....but my point is just because two schools merge does not guarantee a championship. THATS WHY THEY PLAY THE GAMES!

Is Merser the state champ? Yes. They can thank KHSAA for that not Russell, or any other team they played. When you combine two varsity football teams into one, and the KHSAA allows it to happen everyone else looses. They turned thier backs on all the other teams in 2-A. I still find it hard to believe that the KHSAA approved it to happen. I can tell you one thing there is no accountability in KHSAA. In most organizations if you were to turn your head like KHSSA did in this situation you would be looking for another job.

 

Combine Belfry and Prestonsburg and what do you have? State Champion. Combine Russell and Raceland and what do you have? State champion. I just find it nauseating that so many Mercer fans are proud of what happened at the expense of all the players in 2-A. That sickens me.

 

State Champ Mercer*****

Maybe....maybe not

I have went and researched all the projection boards...and EVERY one has Quinn being the #1 QB being taken. Many talked about Quinn's strength (very strong) and toughness. He hasnt missed a snap as a starter and has been banged around a lot...

I would say Chuck Smith....without a doubt. Its not just what he did...5 in a row (by the way the ONLY one to do that)...but how and where he did it. He took a HORRIBLE program and did it. No disrespect to Harp, Beatty, Mueller....but they just continued great programs.

I know a guy who won one in High School and a couple of college rings as well but alway wears his HS ring and never his college ring.

Seems that many of the 9% of Enterprisers are on BGP...lol....including myself.

Enterpriser as well...

Devils were best 2A team beyond a shadow of a doubt ...

 

5A Mercer won 2A Championship Game ....

 

Next year let's put Trinity in 2a to give the legit 2a schools someone else to shoot at ... Devils almost did it and really gave it away , to the 5a power .. who next year will have to buy a ticket to get into the finals or semi finals .. we will be watching and posting ...

If your gonna whine at least get it right....

3A Mercer won 2A Championship Game....Theres no such thing as 5A yet!

1.MC

2.Russell

3. Western

4. Belfry

5. Middlesboro

Gonzaga doesn't play in a major conference.
