  1. IMO, it is nothing more than a 4-4 from an offensive perspective when it comes to attacking it.
  2. At that age, not even close to being what Travis was like. But he is a very good player, so it is not a knock on him that Travis was better.
  3. I think it is because other schools do not want two teams going after all the Florida high school talent in football.
  4. Yes, they get half. That goes into the general fund, that is used for all sports. If they did not do this there would be zero money for any sport but football. The board gives zero money to the athletic dept outside of salaries.
  5. Different universe yes, but he sure does seem happy all the time.
  6. The TD was a rushing TD. HC scored a rushing TD by Beal from the 10 yd line following a Conner TO. The TO was a great INT by Lampone that set up the scoring play. Their other TD was scored on a botched FG att where the snap went over the snappers head, the K picked up the ball and threw it to Lampone for a TD.
  7. Beal and Fogle are special, special athletes period. Both are on a whole different level than almost anyone on the field.
  8. They are offering three games in the state of Indiana. I do not think that Indiana fans would look at two games at Freedom Hall , one at Rupp and ons at Assembly Hall as a perfect comprise.
  9. I do not understand why what IU proposed is a perfect comprise?
  10. I would be surprised to see many wr/slots going both ways, other than for a few plays here and there. As talented as Fogle/McKeehan are on defense the cb position has a lot more depth than many realize.
  11. When I read the title of the thread, I knew it did not involve Votto!
  12. The buildings are not paid for completely once built. Much like the house you or someone has built. The problem in Boone is that they are having to build a new school almost every three years or so to keep up with growth. Plus they have put additions on to all the existing high schools and middle schools in the last 5 years. So they are constantly having to budget for ever increasing costs to build new and update buildings. Kind of like once you are about to pay your house off, you by another and still keep the old. So now you still have your mortgage on the new, in addition, to the maintenance and up keep on the old. But you cannot rent the old to offset the costs. I hope I am explaining it right.
  13. Technically you are right, this school funding topic should get its own thread.
  14. My direct comment was about how much money each school district has to spend per pupil and the discrepancies that Boone experiences. The $3000 part was that you get that much more than Boone County Schools. Here are the exact numbers for per pupil spending due to the SEEK formula for Jefferson and Boone. Jefferson County $11,154 Boone County $7,879 The costs of utilities is much more than the location of where the coal comes from. The Ohio River plays a major part because of the cheaper transportation costs also, KY utilities are regulated. But it is all about to change because utilities are getting ready to stop using coal all together to fuel power plants. Duke Energy is planning to convert all coal power plants to natural gas in the next five years. Like you I am far from "liberal" and I also believe that their is a moral obligation to equally fund education for our kids. This will only benefit everyone.
  15. The higher property taxes you pay towards school the lower the money you receive from the state.
  16. Not sure what that has to do with anything posted. But it must be nice for your school district to be able to have a per pupil funding of about $3000 more per pupil than Boone County Schools. How much is your football budget? How pays for your transportation? Since you are 6a, I will tell you what Ryle and Boone's is, budget ZERO!! Football team has to pay their own transportation out of their gate, that is after 50% goes to the athletic dept off the top. It's late I will start a thread on this topic tomorrow.
  17. Congrats!! I find it amazing that some school systems have the funds to do this. Yet, while others have ZERO funding for athletic departments(outside of salaries) and ZERO funding for transportation to and from school sponsored events!!!:madman::madman::madman:
  18. What many do not realize is that the "official" temp given by the news and weather station is taken in the shade. When calculating the Heat Index for the event/practice it is to be done on-site, i.e. on the field. If part of the field is in the shade, the reading must be done in the "sunny" part.
  19. It is funny when you post it. But it is the truth if I post it.....I am pretty!!!
  20. I guess I watched a different series or just view it differently. I watched the bigs for LA do more than hold their own and at times dominate only to watch half way through the fourth qtr Kobe try to take over. I am actually a big Kobe fan but it seemed it had to be about him the later it got in the game.
