Ashland fans should be excited as long as James "Buddy" Biggs walks the sidelines in Ashland, people in Falmouth call him the best coach in the state and I would find that hard to argue with.

You are right on Sportz Addict, why on earth do we have a player that could not cut it Carolina but Tubby deems good enough to play at Kentucky. Sheray Thomas might not only have trouble playing at Georgetown but cracking the starting lineup for Billy Hicks at Scott county.

One thing you all don't seem to realize is that we are Kentucky, the number one college basketball program in the history of college basketball! No other college basketball program is Kentucky, but Mr. Orlando "Tubby" Smith is slowly taking us down the prestige ladder. Then above all else he gets on ESPN last summer and mocks UK fans by saying he has people ready to jump off buildings in Lexington over a 13 loss season; in a strong sense implying that a 13 loss season should be seen as wonderful or accepted. I don't really understand Mr. Smith, why doesn't he ride off to another Georgia and have his 20 win seasons and 2nd round exits at a school were he would be treated like a king while letting Kentucky get back to being Kentucky! Tubby should do himself and Kentucky a favor and resign at seasons end. Mr. Smith is a decent coach but my friends he is no Adolph Rupp or Rick Pitino on his best days.

I think the time may be coming for the Bradley/Jasper switch, Bradley is not a point guard and that showed big time last night. What I think is so funny if Patrick Sparks made the same mistakes Mr. Bradley did last night we would not hear the end of it but it seems Bradley gets a free pass.

I will tell you this, I live a couple hours away from Warsaw but my plans are for sure to get down there and watch some games from what seems to be a season were the impossible can happen. Don't forget Warsaw isn't all that far from Milan across the river so maybe the magic strikes twice!

I will be pulling for the Wildcats hard this year, I don't think they have been to the Sweet Sixteen since 1957 so they will be a good story if they can pull it off. They got close in 99 with Jason White and company but the Rick Jones machine put them out in New Castle.

Who would win in a head on game, big brother Keaton or the "Hurrikane" Kane Belcher?

Any person that has taken Economics 101 knows all raising the minimum wage does is retard job growth. And ask yourself this, how many people do you know besides kids that really makes $5.15 an hour in todays workforce. Very few I would assume, all this topic does is create a fillibuster for the Democrats to ignite people whose economic wisdom is low!

Here's my argument on this topic, Mason county wins the 10th often because of talent and the resources they allocate to basketball pure and simple. Maysville/Mason county has the Tom Browning's Boys Club, the Ymca and numerous park locations with basketball courts that have been very kind to fostering basketball talent. I realize other 10th communities have these type of facilities but not to the degree that they are designed and coordinated precisely to establish a feeder system for basketball. Ask the folks from Adams, Bracken, Brown, Fleming, Lewis and Robertson counties that also take advantage of these facilties and programs to the benefit of there teams. Mason's method should be copied by any community that takes basketball seriously not labeled as unfair for having the visonaries in place in the 1960's to build a gym for people of all neighboring communities to enjoy. A couple of other points, is the Fieldhouse really such a home advantage for the Royals in March? Pendleton county played in the Fieldhouse 7 times during region winning year of 05 with Montgomery county playing there 6 times. The Mason officials are liberal with sharing there gym with all comers. Take a poll among Devilman, Polar Bear 1994 and others on what the percentage of fans from Bracken and Robertson counties make up a Friday/Saturday crowd at the Fieldhouse and I'm fairly confident they would say it's staggering. The 10th region tournament transcends the particular matchup of the night but gives fans from all the schools a chance to see a great basketball and file great memories. It would be a shame for two schools and jealousy to ruin it for the other communities. One other and final point in my opinion Harrison county is the only school that can measure to Mason; from Kellar Works, the Jenkins brothers, Jerry Fogle on to Rob Ogden the Breds have won the 10th often. I never hear one argument from there fans and for good reason, they have won the tournament many times and with continued success at the Fieldhouse. Well, I'm wrong I guess they did have an unfair advantage in 97' when they had to stay at the Maysville Ramada due to the flood in Cynthiana. With some of the stuff said today I suppose there commute to games wasn't long enough so they should give back there trophy!

All this talk about moving the 10th from Mason County is foolish, the 40th district proved in 69' they could not host the tourney because of capacity reasons at GRC. Montgomery county wants to host the tourney but what do they do; go out and build a gym with 2,000 less capacity than Mason County. Economics and tradition will keep the tenth in Maysville, jealousy of Mason county has fueled this debate but Mason would have been crowned regional champs 95% of the time even if they had played these games with goals nailed to a telephone poles in Camargo.
