I played in the 80's. I agree that at Highlands football does the talking and it probably is childish to say I want the score rung up. However, my allegiances still run deep and I enjoy when Highlands crushes good teams(not the bad teams). When people take shots at Highlands I remind them Highlands isn't going anywhere and is the dominant team for the forseeable future. It's an opinion board and sometimes I express my opinion and it doesn't jive with others. I don't apologize for my opinion. Same opinions I express on the other board. Though I prefer this forum overall.

I think it's important in football to put doubts in the opponents minds. Too many of these boards everybody wants to be buddy-buddy. Give everyone a ribbon mentality. My opinion is don't let them off the mat so to speak. I still think I try to express my opinion respectfully. I'll agree that doing that can be worked on.

You can call it being buddy-buddy if you like. I just prefer calling it class. Let the fans of the other programs talk their trash and we let our players handle what matters.

And trust me, with Highlands tradition, in spite of what some people say, there is doubt in most opponents' minds already without us needing to beat schools by 60 or 70 points. Furthermore, when you think about it, if we need for the opponent to have doubts in order for us to beat them, we mustn't be that good any way.

Maybe I have a hang up. I like being respected. I want Highlands football to be respected. I want the players to be respected. I want the Highlands fans to be respected. I want people throughout the state to say not only is Highlands football the best in the state, their coaches, players and fans are the classiest in the state. I take immense pride in the program. And when a Highlands fan comes on here and talks trash just to jerk fans of other programs chains, I think that makes the program, the other Highlands fans and Ft. Thomas look bad.
