[quote name="baddog" post="931815" timestamp="1292171562"] Thanks^^ Scooter, did I win anything like maybe dinner for my wife and me at Texas Roadhouse?  ;D If so, I'm gonna brush up on my sarcasm and give her another go.  ;D [/quote] Scooter says if you go to your nearest Roadhouse, order anything you want, then when they bring the bill tell them that Scooters got it, your meal will be covered.  :)

Good homework pirate. Silva's win over Forrest was one of the most impressive wins I've seen but he hasn't been that impressive to me in his last two fights, not to mention loosing four of five rounds to Chael (Juiced) Sonnen. GSP has totally dominated his opponents (even though his last three have gone to decission) and hasn't lost a round since 2007. Silva moved up for a couple of fights and has now said he wants to stay in his division (comfort zone). I am ready for GSP to move up, hopefully after Sheilds.

I disagree and hopefully we'll see them fight in the near future

Some good fights. GSP showed why he's the best but I wish he would finish them off. Looks like Shields will be next.

Should be great card I hope GSP beats down Kescheck the way I know he should. I hope the fight doesn't go the distance.

I think I saw him shoot a duck out of the air with a bow. Took several tries but he did it.

Preperation is the key. Nave a bucket handy with plenty of TP

[/quote]WITH EVERY BODY PRETTY MUCH MAKING THE PLAYOFFS IT IS NOT VERY HARD.... WELL 4 OUT OF THE 7 TEAMS GOING...HOW ABOUT A DISTRICT TITLE IN 20 YEARS ;) [/quote] Everyone wants a state title. How many area 4A teams have won a state title in the last 20 years?

The open enrollment agenda is not about sports or any other UIL competition. The issue is money and the competition for state funding. That is where districts are now. The current state funding system is so poor that many districts have to change their policies to compete for enrollment. LCM and others will police themselves correctly to prevent any repercussion.

Illegal hit these days

Wow, its going to be a long off-season

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
