I had no clue what it meant so I was not offended merely from my own texting ignorance! :lol:

You can ride with me Whack'em! We can bring QR too. Let me know if you want to go. Worst case scenario, we get lost and end up in Nashville.

No. Several kids from the fort and the county. I'm not sure how many kids actually live in Newport that go there.

Just sayin'

NCC is technically in Newport. While most of their players live in the Fort, they are Newport Central Catholic. What day/time is game?

After watching Scott Co's JV pummel Highlands, they clearly are the best program in the state. Heck, their JV could win state in several divisions. Good luck to Scott Co.

Yep.

:clap: funniest post I've read in a long time!

I hear crow is more filling than Turkey.

So why do we have to be labeled Fort Thomas Highlands? Is there another Highlands in the state? Can't we just be Highlands?

Maybe. But they will also watch Harris get 100 yards rushing and Feggins get over 100 yards receiving. If that happens, Birds win.

It's funny how NCC seems to still find a way to stay competitive with half the numbers of the Birds. The better question is, when are these two teams going to start playing again?

Against who? Look how bad Butler lost last night. Doesn't that tell you anything? Quit looking for reasons to hijack and move on to the basketball threads.

Birds need to win to even get there first. Back to this game, I say Collins feels they have some unfinished business from last year which will propel them past The boro.

If I were a CovCath fan, I would say nothing short of beating HHS is a moral victory. I would say that if they beat HHS but maybe didn't win state, that could be a moral victory. I've just never bought into those hollow victories. I feel just as crappy after seeing us losing in a "moral victory" than I do seeing us losing in just a loss. Was it a moral victory to only lose by a few to Elder? Hecky no! Colonels definitely brought it last night. That was a much more aggressive team than we saw in the regular season. I liked the used of Dressman as a running back. That kid can flat out fly. He is going to create a lot of excitement in the next two years.

I think it's boys in general. Cov Caths boys yelled and beat the stands while our band took the field. They yelled and threw stuff at passers by. It's any rivalry and its young boys. It's kind of a right of passage to act like idiots. Isn't that what being a kid is all about?

32 posts and no UkFan? congrats to Neers on a great season. Also congrats to Butler on managing to silence a voice unintentionally on BGP! I can't believe he didn't even come out to say how great of a year it was. Hold your heads high in south Kenton county. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Sorry BF, I replied before reading those.

Dixie wins 22-21 on a trick play 2 point conversion after a last minute touchdown, after trailing the entire game. It could happen.

Here is the thing about Cov Cath. They are prepared. I went to their scrimmage at Campbell Co at beginning of the year. They were so much more prepared and looked like they had about a month head start on the fighting Camels that game. That was the last game they were healthy. I was very impressed. My prediction earlier was not what I believe but what I hope. I have the utmost respect for the Colonels, but that doesn't mean I like playing them. You can ask in any sport who they (Birds) dislike competing against, the Colonels/Pandas are in top 2 every year. That is because its always one of those two carrying the torch for our region with the exception of NCC in a few sports. I mean no disrespect to any other school in our area, but when you play football at Highlands from the beginning of the year you are thinking "There's CovCath, then there's all the other games." I worked with Jude Hoffman the year after we won state in 1992. He hated every time I wore my ring to work. But we could still talk football and he was a great guy. I got all the respect in the world for CCH but also all the fear in the world in the pit of my stomach. Go Birds!

Incorrect. 1992 the spanked us in regular season game and we won by a touchdown in the playoffs.

NCC names it.

HHS will push to get running clock, then pour it on in yet another statement game. Their statement in this one will be that even healthy, Cov Cath is no match for the Birds.

I didn't with Hope back in form, Wrobleski back, and the stepping up of many other kids. Highlands D was nothing short of fantastic tonight. Does anyone have Ashlands offensive stats? I think they were negative yards in first half.
