Oh, Kentucky

Following up on last night's "Ah, Football" coverage ... Fort Campbell enters its bye week at 1-5 ... WPSD reported last night that Fulton County dressed only 13 players in its blowout loss to Mayfield ... Tilghman 65 at Calloway County 29 ... Sam Elliott reports in The Kentucky Post that Newport Central Catholic recovered all 10 of its fumbles in a 38-31 win over visiting Covington Catholic 31 ... Bell County 55 at Rockcastle County 0 ... Lone Oak 19 vs. Graves County 6 ... Washington County 3 at Marion County 0. In retrospect, this is the probably the fan bus I most wish I had been on last night. The county seats, Springfield and Lebanon, are separated by just 8.5 miles on Ky. 55, and Marion County entered the game averaging 373 yards rushing per game. Washington County won two Fridays ago, 17-16, by blocking a Lincoln County extra-point attempt--and now this, to improve to 5-0. The Class 2A Commanders were 3-8 in 2009 ... Fort Thomas Highlands at Louisville Eastern 11 Central this morning. Highlands' quarterback is a grandson of Jim Bunning, reports Mark Story in The Herald-Leader.

Heath suddenly needs a new principal. (Also, check out the Channel 6 web editor on that link.)

I didn't know anything about John Jacob Niles.

"The Paducah Drive-In opened in June 1949 and was operated by the Columbia Amusement Co. It had a capacity for 600 cars. The Streamline Moderne style screen tower had a mural of an Indian chief's head on the rear."

Love the playa; hate the game.

  2. Michael Wilbon made the best comment about this that I've heard. A student's transcripts and therefore their eligibility is signed off on by the NCAA. So why is everybody using this to slam Calipari and slam UK?
