Nederland could have had a better record over the last few years by scheduling weaker nondistrict teams but they choose tough opponents.

I don't keep up with Nederland that much but haven't they battled key injuries the last few seasons? That's quite a challenge for any team and still make it to the palyoffs.

I saw the pick and read the posts and I didn't think others had a problem with your topic as much as they did about it being a Chronical picture. No harm on your part.

Hate to hear that but he better protect his back.

Yea, they played there best ball once Lance and Roy were gone. Go figure. Heard today the Astros are up for sale.

Edgar vs. Maynard. I'm not that impressed with Edgar's power. Most of his fights go to decision Aldo vs. Gilspi. Aldo is the man Guida vs. Gomi Never a dull moment with guida in the cage. Agreed Diaz vs. kim. Diaz can be fun if he's back to full speed. He had a few fights that weren't that impressive. Leben vs. Stann What can you say about leben other than he likes to bang. Agreed All these could end up candidates for fight of the night

Houston would be a good location for a card that has some of the top hispanic fighters

Weren't they in Dallas a couple years back?

According to the scoring rules Rampage won two out of three rounds and that would make him the winner. I've seen fights where a fighter takes a beating and comes back the third round and turns the fight around and I really felt they deserve the win but it doesn't work that way

[quote name="mat" post="912033" timestamp="1290088179"] I have to go with Machida. He fought Shogun pretty tough twice. Because of the recent records for each fighter I have to go with Hughes. He's one of my favorites anyway. Penn has to step up to keep himself a credible competitor but he wasn't able to do with a second shot at Edgar so I don't see it happening this time. I really don't see this being an action packed fight because their both smart fighters. I also like Lauzon. Should be some good fights. [/quote] Well I made three picks in this fight and all three were wrong; shows how much I know. Man was I disappointed in how quick Hughes went down. He may decide to retire.

Me too

Odd that he has several UFC fights under his belt before it became a problem

11-0 but only ranked #15. Something must be missing.

Voted but still at 18

Tito may take this one. Tito needs to take this one

Yes I did and it was good to see Fader with the win even if he had to move down to Bantum to get it. It was pretty good nghit of fights.

Voted again but still at #18

Twice today

Voted again Looks like you're at #17. What the heck

again

[quote name="baddog" post="900338" timestamp="1289138978"] [quote author=mat link=topic=75619.msg899770#msg899770 date=1289086963] Nederland stepped up and took care of business and earned their place in the playoffs. LCM had their shot and failed to step up even through their injury problems. Nederland played very well and as usual rebounded from their own adversities this year. I find it funny though that Nederland of all teams (posters) can not relate with a QB injury.  ;) Now, LCM has lost to Central, PNG and Nederland and I have kept up with posts of each loss and its easy to say that Nederland posters have been the least gracious in their victory. :'( Regardless, I hope you go deep in the playoffs and you deserve to be there. [/quote] Well, I don't know who made you the sole judge of what is gracious or not. I simply told the truth without any sarcasm. Nederland's QB woes had ours out for the season or several games. When you get down to your fourth string QB and are able to still make the playoffs without your starter, then I can relate. Any QB anywhere, who can throw for 300 yards, is not hurt IMO. Even if he ran for his 60+ yard average, I'd spot you another TD and you still don't win. LCM fans also said that we didn't see their best game. If a team hasn't been in the playoffs for 13 years and it comes down to playing for your playoff lives and you can't play your ''best game'', then you don't deserve to go. I will be more gracious when I see some posts that give Nederland more credit for the win than trying to get sympathy for their injuries. We play through our injuries. We stopped you run game without our starting LB, who will be back next week. It's called depth, and some teams have it. We have coaches who can coach a sub to play at starting level. [/quote] It doesn't take much of a judge to consider the following post less than gracious; [b]Nederland spanked that hiney tonight and you know it. Chew on that while Nederland is working on winning their playoff game or two this year.  Hurt QB or not, that was an old-fashioned country  butt-whuppin'.[/b] If you've kept up with mine and several other posters you will see I've never discredited Nederlands success. Fact is I think there is only one, maybe two LCM posters that have made excuses for the loss. I'm a little disapointed BD, sounds like you're taking posting tips from TrueBlue  :) Good luck Nederland

Voted again. Lookin good but can't lay down in the fouth quarter
