Charlie22, you have a stunning football history and an amazing knowledge of the game. I don’t know how most people think in northern, southern, western or even eastern Kentucky. However I would have no problem admitting that you know the general “feel” in northern Kentucky.
I don’t know why BearPaw made the statement to which you responded; however, living most of your 55+ years in northern Kentucky, I must wonder if you could know how it “feels” to experience discrimination just because of your accent. I know I do.

I would agree that a majority of true football fans from any region of Kentucky (northern Kentucky included) would respect other regions (including the mountains), who have made certain accomplishments in the game. That statement is bolstered by posters such as you, Tradition, Spirit100 and frozenbird (gotta love his avatar!!!)

There are other posters that are not so gracious.

I believe you may have noticed another thread, though not posted on it. Mysonis55 also hasn’t posted on this thread, but Northern Kentucky started it a day or so before this one and have continued to compare the regions more than what was done here. That’s okay with me; being this far down the competition road will lend itself to emotion and trash talking from lots of fans; myself included. We are only attempting to garner support and encouragement from other teams in the mountains that haven’t been so fortunate as to make the play offs as many times as Highlands.

As much as mysonis55 disagrees with this thread, I believe we have this right.
I have an issue being compared with Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, but I believe you have this right.

So without any malice toward any team, I am very very excited that 4 mountain teams have the opportunity to play this coming Friday night, and I continue my support toward those teams.

Can't say I blame you for having an issue being compared to Jesse and Al. I would too. :biggrin:

I love your support of all the eastern Kentucky teams and the attempt to garner support for them. That wasn't the issue with me and I hope you understand that.

As for what region of the state plays the best football, I couldn't care less. I'm a Kentuckian.
