OK, I'm awake. Hey, WMFW, come on by with this week's free Golden Glaze donuts any time you're ready.

Here are this week's biggies among this weekend's KHSAA football games.

Dyer County (Tennessee) at McCracken County (0-2)

Mayfield (2-0, Class A No. 1 in the Associated Press poll) at Paducah Tilghman (1-1, AP 3A No. 4) on Saturday--This is the 100th meeting. The Cardinals are on a seven-game winning streak in the series. Channel 6 notes that the Blue Tornado never lost in the four times they played Mayfield during the playing career of current Tilghman coach Randy Wyatt.

Christian Academy-Louisville (2-0, AP 2A No. T8) at Goshen North Oldham--Speaking of rivalries, ...

Caldwell County (2-0, AP 2A No. 1) at Ohio County (2-0)--Yeah, you're right; this would be a good one to go to tonight.

Bowling Green (1-0, AP 5A No. 1) at Louisville Saint Xavier (2-0, AP 6A No. 2)--But this one is my favorite fan-bus trip of the night. It's the best game in the state this week, and U.S. 31W is magical.

Christian County (1-1, AP 5A No. T9) at Henderson County (2-0, AP 6A No. 8)--Of course, this trip's pretty great, too.

Hopkinsville (2-0) at Trigg County (1-1) on Saturday--So's this one.

Russellville (2-0, AP A No. 3) at Butler County (1-0)--And this one. What a weekend of great roadtrips this weekend is!

Elizabethtown Central Hardin (2-0) at Madisonville-North Hopkins (1-0, AP 4A No. T8)--The visiting Class 6A Bruins see this as a statement-game opportunity. It's certainly huge for my main Maroons. If Madisonville-North Hopkins can open the season with wins over Class 5A Warren Central and Class 6A Central Hardin, that's going to be a pretty heady 2-0. And the Maroons are going to need all of the self-esteem they can muster; their next four games are against Hoptown, Henderson County, Owensboro and Tilghman. That's a schedule there, boy. Incidentally, it's a hall-of-fame night at the ol' Badget Athletic Complex tonight. One of the honorees will be Fred Drake from the Class of '84, and who, indeed, would ever foget his senior 1983 season?

Graves County (1-0) at Murray (1-1, AP 2A No. 6)--Close game last year. Coaches expect another close one this year, reports David Ramey in the Murray Ledger & Times.

Fort Knox (0-2) at Fort Campbell (0-2, AP 3A No. 8) 

Louisville Central (1-1, AP 3A No. 1) at Louisville Eastern (1-1)

Boyle County (2-0, AP 4A No. 3) at Danville (2-0, AP 2A No. 10)--Plus, the Barbecue Festival and Kentucky School for the Deaf Festival on the Green are this weekend.

Louisville Trinity (1-1, AP 6A No. 1) at Lawrence Central (Indiana)

Lexington Bryan Station (1-0) at Fort Thomas Highlands (2-0, AP 4A No. 1)

Louisville Ballard (1-1, AP 6A No. 5) at Shelybville Martha Layne Collins (1-1, AP 4A No. 4)

Independence Simon Kenton (2-0, AP 6A No. 7) at Hebron Conner (1-0, AP 5A No. 2)

Belfry (1-0, AP 3A No. 2) at Harlan County (2-0, AP 5A No. 3)

Owensboro Catholic (2-0, AP 2A No. 4) at Owensboro (2-0, AP 4A No. 5)

Louisville Pleasure Ridge Park (2-0, AP 6A No. 6) at Scott County (2-0, AP 6A No. 3)
