[Hound05]

I’m as high on the Hounds as anyone. I personally think this bunch would curb stomp those 70’s and 80’s teams. The depth would end it pretty quick.

All that said, I will never underestimate Johnson Central. They’ve handled us the past two years. While I think we will be the rightful favorite, they’re not getting overlooked by me. I’ll be very surprised if the streak goes to 7 games but I sure hope it does. Hounds are capable of it but they can’t rest on their laurels.

Probably. I always try to think of it in perspective. Teams were different back then. Which I know I don’t have to tell you that. But i the point I guess I’m trying to make when people ask about the best teams I’ve saw, I compare to the level of competition in that time. Our 1996 team was running the spread for the most part in a time that it was about unheard of in eastern ky. I bet that team would wipe the 80s teams. Like someone said, depth and the fact that back in the day you didn’t have 3 or 4 people that could cover the pass on D. Kids now days are for the most part faster, maybe a little stronger, use better techniques, and there’s more of them. 

I hate to reminisce on it because of what they did in the first round. But man do you guys remember that 96 squad. I don’t know if I’m just letting my imagination get the best of me. But it seems like they could split 4 guys out and everyone of them would run 4.2 40 hah. I think the QB was Danny steely, and he had a dang arm!
