People in these parts have been saying Owensboro Catholic was "down" this year after they lost two games in a row back in September. They have reeled off 6 straight to finish 8-2, have a QB that is third leading passer in the state in Houston Hartz, and undefeated in a 6 team district. Coming from back to back undefeated regular seasons I guess 8-2 would be a "down" year, but I suspect most teams would love that record.
What is a down year to everyone else? :HitWall:

Depends on a teams track record over say 5 years. If a team had gone undefeated for three consecutive seasons and then went 8-2. Although spoiled, a fan base, could say it was a down year.
I wouldn't consider 8-2 a down year, simply folks expressing disappointment maybe due to unrealistic expectations.
The flip side is a 2-8 team that finishes 4-6 the next season. 4-6 may upset a lot of other programs, but.....
Good luck to your team Hollywood and don't let the turkeys get you down.

I'll use Johnson Central for an example...
In 2000, we went 11-1. Had our first ever 10-0 regular season, our first ever district championship.
2001, we went 2-8; 2002 we went 2-8; 2003 we went 1-9. Football had fell of the map.
Now a days, anything less than 8+ wins in the regular season and atleast 3 playoff games is considered a "down year"
My how things can change in 10 years.........

They must have had far more problems than looking a few key players for the wheels to have fallen off so fast. A school the size of NVIDIA usually have enough athletes cycling in every couple of years to prevent a major dropout like that.

Of course it varies from team to team but for Boyle County I would say the same thing Pulp Fiction said, and that is, that anything less than 8+ wins and 3 playoff games is considered "down".

Hopefully there are some down years in the very near future for the Bluebirds then. :1:

Mayfield's one and only goal for the year is to win the State Championship. District and Regional titles don't mean anything.
