Kevin...you trying to say we watched Bull Durham one too many times

[M and L]

Hey,  Leave little old Taylor HS out of this.  Yes you are right they will never see turf in Cleves, but last year a Corperation was talking about splitting the bill with the District for naming rights.  But they couldn't come up with the money.

Go figure

[M and L]

Hey, I heard some crazy a$$ rumer that Hilvert was leaving TMC for Elder.  As far as I know Ramsey isn't going any where any time soon.

[SaintsFAN]

preposterous drivel! 

thats probably being perpetuated by people during the recruiting battle of MSJ and TMC. 

I haven't heard it...but Cincinnati is a town built on rumors..

[Adam Sayer]

Like the rumor that I go by the name of Big D!ck Daddy of Cincinnati on the weekend nights and have banged enough women to make Wilt Chamberlin jealous.

Wait a minute...that's all true  8)  8)

[M and L]

Absoulty

What benefit would he get out of leaving TMC for teaching and coaching at Elder when he has such a good thing going on at TMC with new ball field going up and his own college program where he gets to focous on f-ball 24/7.

Plus he lives in Kensucky  

[M and L]

Sayer, thats no rumor. 

Thats just your Legacy

[LionsDen]

I dont really understand why Hilvert would leave TMC either. The New stadium is supposed to be top of the line and its only in Phase 1. Their are still more and more upgrades going toward the stadium year in year out. New Locker rooms etc.. I think its just a rumor but only time will tell. How did MSJ and TMC do recruiting? Anyone?

[SaintsFAN]

from what I have heard, Sayer, you forgot to include the word "lickin' " in your name....THATs the word on the streets

[Adam Sayer]

But the biggest thing in Cincinnati, in football sense, is High School football. I heard someone, who was not from Cincinnati, comment once that he was asked where he went to school and instinctively said where he went to college. The person told him he didn't give a sh!t where he went to college, he wanted to know where he went to High School. High School sports in and around the I-275 loop are a big deal and to some, running your own DI HS team may be a bigger deal than running your own D3 program...especially if its where you went to school.

I remember Mark Dantonio begging people to come out to watch UC during a Nationally televised game on a Friday night. I think they got around 10-13,000 people and the game was against a good team...Louisville maybe? Regardless, just the GCL South teams draw more than that combined on a Friday night.

[SaintsFAN]

Adam,

I think Coach Kelly at UC has changed that thinking a bit...in recruiting the Cincy kids to UC and fighting battles in the media to get fans down there.  They sold out 3 night games down there. 

I think HS football is still strong in Cincy, but clearly the NCAA scene is getting better and drawing some attention.

That said, I can understand the pull of Elder for Hilvert.  I just dont' think its happening right now. 

[Adam Sayer]

I dont think any of those sellouts were on a Friday night though. HS will always be bigger here than college. Elder-Highlands about 6-7 years ago drew something like 30,000 people to Paul Brown. The Elder-Colerain and Princeton-St. X playoff games at PBS in 2002 drew over 50,000 combined.

I'm thinking about joining the new Double Stuffed League and compete against Peyton and Eli. I can lick an Oreo cookie with the best of them.

[M and L]

I played in both of those games, ah the memories...

Although Adam, If Kelly keeps building a big local college program the way he is.  We just might see the day we college ball becomes bigger then HS ball.

This City really has never had big time DI program to root for locally so why go see a HS game with the rich tradition that some of these high schools have like the GCL.

[SaintsFAN]

yep and all Kelly needs to do is hire some guy by the name of SaintsFAN to be the QB's coach and everything will be all good in the 'Nati. 

[Adam Sayer]

It's a low-blow, but as the QB coach, you could sign on to teach Marriage 101 as well.
