It is a few depressing weeks after football season ends, until the start of Christmas Vacation.  Everyone is torn between talking about the season that just ended, and the thing constantly talked about by all teams, …..”next year.”

Only one team finishes their season on a positive note. Only the team that wins the State Championship, finishes the season with a lot of happiness…

Well Cardinals. The regular season has concluded. It’s time for the playoffs…..

The Legendary Coach Vince Lombardi used to talk about “The BigPush.”  It was a time late in the season, when the regular season was wrapping up, and the playoff “push” was about to begin. 

An open week during your football season, just means it’s a Friday night, where we do not have a game to play.

“In the deep dark hills of eastern Kentucky…”

As a college player (at Georgetown) I had a great coach named Kevin Donnelly. (He’s still coaching  by the way at St. Francis University in Indiana. He’s the all-time winningest coach in NAIA football.).  One of the many lessons he taught me was ….

There is a term in football called “Winning Ugly.”  It just means that sometimes you play a game where you really don’t play very well.

After the first week of the season, half the teams in the state are 0-1, and the other half are 1-0.

Well Cardinal fans, it’s for real now. 

TRAINING CAMP. All over the football world, high schools, colleges, and the NFL, players are reporting back to training camp at this time of year. 

DEAD PERIOD. This is the time when everybody goes away from football.
