I've been to 1, the 1977 Opening Day. I had 4 tickets to game 7 of the World Series in 76, but alas didn't get to use them. So I got 5 tickets to Opening Day. Was a senior in high school, it snowed that morning (about 2 to 3 in.). School was on a 2 hr. dlay so we ditched and froze our butts off. Seats were in the red reserved boxes out in left center.

I know Fleming Co. wants to move back to 39th Dist. and 10th Region. Not wanting to throw a wrench into some peoples plans, but them moving back is a very distinct possibility.

Mandy by Barry Manilow. But since I was in high school when most of the songs on here came out and was listened to by myself and others I'll say this, they may be cheesy now, but some of them "rocked" back in the day!

Do the Clippers count as a franchise? -
I agree. :thumb:
I think if we consider Hayes for this honor, why not James Lee? He had a 4 year career and only started his sophomore year when Robey went down the last 15 games or so. But was there any doubt he would be out there when needed. He was recognized as the best 6th man in the Nation in '77 and '78. He missed the 1,000 point club by just a few points if memory serves.
What about Mel Turpin? Started 3 years and was the leading scorer those years if memory serves.
If we honor Hayes, was their anyone more gritty and proud to wear the Blue and White than Jimmy Dan Conner? Started all 3 years of his career.
I think McDonalds retired Mel Turpin's jersey!:laugh::laugh:

I'm not defending Darius at all, but he did play quite a bit his last 2 yrs. at guard along with Middleton at Mason Co. Also, I have noticed this year along with Liggins and Dodson some basic fundamentals which they are either ignoring or told not to do. One is when Wall or Bledsoe is comming down on the break they stop at the 3 pt. line and don't finish filling the lane and give them another option to pass to instead of trying to make layups or acobatic layups and causing turnovers. Another is when the ball is on the opposite side of the court from Darius (or the other 2) and a shot is taken (usually a 3) and the are standing out at the 3 pt. line they fall back on defense, conceding the rebound to the other team instead of going to the basket for weak side rebounding help. These 2 points were very evident during the South Carolina game! Also, when he does drive to the basket he his looking to pass rather than shoot(I know dribble-Drive) but he has to want to shoot too. Seems like he is concedeing his game a little too much to Wall and Co. and is more comfortable just playng defense and letting them score the points.

Wow. I can't imagine anyone up here (9th or 10th) doing something like this.
Public opioion would be brutal and the basketball community would be up in arms!
I really want to hear the story on this.
Well it's happened in the 10th before at Mason Co. several years ago and the previous coach. I think 96 points was the most we ever scored in one game though. Ask players, parents, and coaches or previous coaches from Augusta, Pendleton Co., maybe Deming and Nicholas Co. how they felt or responded to this runnig the score up and pressing in the 4th qtr.

And they really shouldn't be worried about it because there doesn't appear to be any advantage for Mason County playing at the Fieldhouse. The challenge playing there isn't playing at the Fieldhouse. The challenge is playing an always good Mason County team. -

It's not my favorite sports movie, but "The Final Season" is a good baseball movie. No foul language except for a couple of times and the story line is rather fast moving. I considered it rather enjoyable. And for those of you who don't know the story, it's about Norway High in Iowa and their final season before merging with Madison. They won 20 state titles before in 30 years (class A) before closing the school in 1990. By the way Sean Astin who played "Rudy" stars in this movie and directed.

My wife and I have seen it twice and it is an excellent movie imo. Has more to do with life and people willing to give of themselves and do for others than it has to do with football. Almost wanted to become an Ole Miss fan, but it wasn't that good of a movie lol! ESPN did a little segment last week on the coaches who played themselves and how none of them are now with the schools they were representing.

Mason County:
1. Andy Fryman-UK (track & field)
2. Harry Lewis-UNC & Louisville-Lexington Horsemen
3. Last name "Murray"-Army
4. Can't think of the kids name, he graduated a year or so ago, and I think he
signed with Holy Cross or Cornell.
Any help with names is appreciated.:thumb:

Funny, very funny!!!:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Despite the awful season, our boys finished 12th in the league in total defense last year. The secondary looks good, the linebackers young and active and the D-line experienced. We all know the offense is only going to be as good as the line allows, but what about the D? Your thoughts? Do they have what it takes to be an AFC North type defense?
From what I saw today on tv the answer to your question if a big old fat "NO"

The guy that replaced St. Louis is or was a TE in college, give him a shot, couldn't do any worse than Coats.

Laid a big ol egg today! Coats IMO is living on borrowed time.

No matter what side of the fence your on as far as the QB controversy goes, this is a good win for the Cats. Enjoy and relish it. GO CATS!:dancingpa:

Make sure you're within stumbling distance of Printer's Alley. Other than that, you should be OK. -
Thanks for the info and insight.:thumb:

I don't follow high school football as much as I do basketball, but I have legitimate question regarding the BGP Polls. How are the teams determined and who votes? My reasoning for asking the question is this, Central has been atop the poll almost all season and if it is the same Central I checked on the KHSAA scoreboard, they have a losing record. Why isn't Somerset and Mason Co. atop the poll as Nos. 1 and 2? Why is Central even ranked? Just wondering?:confused:

If Marty can work with "Ol Leather Pants" he can make it work with LaRussa. Would love to see them (Duncan-LaRussa) in a Reds uniform in 2010!

If the rotating venue has a chance, the same people have to have an interest in it. No way Cincinnati will consent to something and give 2/3 of it to Kentucky. Even if it would make sense for them $$-wise (and I'm not sure that it would.)
It would be whatever the owner of the franchise would deem the best money
maker, and that would be Louisville and Lexington. I could see maybe a couple of pre-season games being played in Cincy though.

I would support the Kentucky "____________" from Louisville.
Colonels?
Colonels all the way! They could have ceremonies celebrating their only ABA Championship, and retiring Louie Dampier's, Dan Issel's, and Artis Gilmore's numbers. I used to listen to the Colonels and Royals on the radio growing up.

The arena isn't big enough, but I think The Bank Of Kentucky Center would draw a capacity crowd for 12 - 15 games.
US Bank Arena seats about 12,000 or so, Bank of KY Center right at 10,000, how do you justify 10 or 15 dates at a smaller site? Just because it's newer dosen't mean it can handle an NBA game any better than the Arena on the other side of the river.
JaMarcus Russell to the Bengals (According to Chad)
in National Football League (NFL)

Is Mike Brown operating an NFL franchise or a half way house??? I know he he called himself a "redeemer" when Henry was getting into trouble, but you have to have limit. If Russell is ever going to make it in the NFL he should be converted to tight end.
