  1. I'm unsure, i wish I could say unification of the title belts is what will bring fans of the "Sweet Science" back.

     

    But, boxing is looking like a #### shoot to me.:freak:

     

    I don't believe that unification of the belts would help boxing now. No I believe that boxing is fading out, and MMA is taking over. Boxing, i'm sorry to say, is boring compared to MMA. It is one style, fists only (heavily padded fists too I might add).....no elbows, no backhands, etc. In the Octagon, there are so many different styles, from brawlers to boxers to Judo specialists etc. there are so many different takedowns, chokes, locks, throws, etc. One punch or one kick to the head, or an arm bar or a rear naked choke, and it can all be over. It is high energy, high excitement. That is what the American people want, it is a part of the American lifestyle. We don't want to be bored, we want to be entertained. In MMA, a fighter has to be the total package. Focusing on one style only will surely be a fighters downfall, and that is what is so exciting about it, one minute they are standing and striking, and the next its ground and pound until someone taps out or is knocked out.

     

  2. How many have seen Otters, Mink, Ring Tail Cats, or flying squirrels in the wild. Not a hole lot of people have and yet they are alive and well in East Texas.

     

    Medman you are correct, I definitely have seen otters and flying squirrels in my part of ET. At our family tree farm off Hwy. 84 between Rusk and Palestine our pond and the neighbors pond have recently been invaded by otters, which can be a real nuisance because they are eating the fish in the pond, and for their size, they can eat....

     

    As for the panther debate, a few months ago I saw one cross Hwy. 7 (I was traveling East) just after I exited I-35.....it almost got hit by an 18 wheeler as it crossed the road in front of me and the rig and this was in broad daylight around 10am.......beautiful animal, but very unusual to see one in broad daylight like that. (and no it was not black, either).

  3. Visorboy goes down. I loved it!! Now all OU has to do is choke one more and put Texas in the Big12 CG. Go Cowboys!!

     

    I think, Immortal, that you might just be overlooking the UT / A&M game........the horns still gotta get past the ags.......and with the inconsistency that UT is showing this year it is still quite a possibility.......remember, its better not to count your chickens until they've hatched..... :thumbsup:

     

  4. I was wondering what the score was, I was checking TSU's website and NCAA football.com and still couldn't find it.......looks like WTAM finally figured out how to win a few games instead of being the doormat for the LSC......congrats to WTAM...... :flowers:

     

    By the way, this is the first time EVER that West Texas A&M has gone 11-0 on the season, and by God they better win it all, lol.......

  5. Isn't Mahomes 37 years old now ?

     

    I know he's getting up there, lol......I still remember playing against Whitehouse in high school, (it was Hudson and my alma mater Palestine in a round robin scrimmage with Whitehouse) and he showed up for the game to see our old head coach and hang out and he looked like he was thirty even then, lol
