[quote name="WOSgrad" post="978173" timestamp="1299338137"] It looks like Nederland and WO-S will be attempting bond issue elections again sometime this year to go in that direction. [/quote] I don't think either will pursue turf in their upcoming bonds

I didn't get to see the fight. I'm going to try to find it and watch it this weekend

The HW divisions are much closer than the the other divisions. Most rankings have Strikeforce with at least five of the top 10 -

Aside from the HW division UFC does have trhe better fighters. I think GSP will prove the pretty some. Another thing that supports the UFC as the best is the pay. UFC pays best which attracts the best. -

I'm a big Fedor fan. He's a great guy and is probably the best HW ever but those days may be behind him. I'm sure he can still fight but probably not a title contender. As good as he is/was, how could anyone continually defeat opponents 40 lbs heavier? It would be debatable if he is the best [b]fighter[/b] ever though. I also agree Strikeforce has a great HW division. I strongly criticized him for not going to the UFC to prove his place in MMA. I wanted to see it but maybe he never felt the need to prove anything. -

Since we mentioned what ifs; It sure would have been interesting if he would have ever dropped down a class. -

I think GSP will not have any trouble with Shields. I also thing GSP and Silva will go the full five rounds. I don't think Silva will be showboating either like has in the past -

By the way; we lost all of our free streaming sites. It took me forever to find a site. -

Wow, Jones fighting for the title in March against Shogun. Jones is already the favorite. That's not much time to prepair. Shields did not impress me in his first UFC fight. I know if Silva and GSP fight, Silva will be the favorite but I'll be pulling for GSP -

Super fight on its way It was a decent night of fights but it didn't live up to the card hype. JMO I missed the Bader Jones fight though. -

[quote name="east texas bb" post="961655" timestamp="1296953846"] mat, no I didnt say that. You can highlight all you want. This is why I hat e message boards. People read into things wrong, I did say that his cursing is what made him good, it was part of his process because that was the way he was. His way worked with using curse words, but I didnt say "he only cursed at them and that is why he was great". Get your facts straight before posting rubish. [/quote] The fact that I refered to was was your statement. I feel you may be little out of touch to think B Knight could not produce the same results without profanity. -

Silva acted like a jerk at weigh in. I hope he either brings that attitude to the ring or gets beat down; one way or the other Each fight has the potential to be fight of the night. -

[quote name="mat" post="961280" timestamp="1296878037"] [quote author=east texas bb link=topic=79404.msg961276#msg961276 date=1296877278] He may have, that is something we will never know. But we do know that his way did work? I am a strong Christian person and I do not believe in using curse words, but the only perfect person to have lived was Jesus Christ. I think we have all said curse words, and coaches are more susceptiable because their profession is one where emotions are high all the time. [b]That was his process, and it worked for him. So to say it dosent work is incorrect because it did work. I dont know if he would have been as successful, because that was not him. [/b] He is who he was, and he got the best out of his yound men, alot of times young men that people said were very average. Im not saying he never had good players, that is absurd, but he did more with little than most coaches do. And he has the highest graduation rate of any college coach Im pretty sure. [/quote] To say that profanity is what made Knight effective would actually an insult to him. [/quote] You posted it. I agree no one is perfect but by your logic, it would be OK in the classroom too. And you are right; it's not for you or me to judge. It's the job of the superintendant and the school board -
