[quote name="hj_hawk_60" post="796005" timestamp="1272588864"] I'm working on putting together the HJ team.. I think we'll have one, I'm just waiting on a few guys to let me know for sure if they want to play. I'm going to try to find out for sure over the next few days and i should know for sure by this weekend hopefully [/quote] let me know if y'all need a guy.  i'm old, but i'm HJ :)

i can most likely get a team together of slightly older than college-aged players.  if that's cool, let me know.  if not, i understand if you're trying to keep it young.

this is a wonderful thing for local soccer!

[quote name="DoctorDave" post="794731" timestamp="1272244025"] PN-G beat both Lumberton teams handily this year. Given Lumberton's superior talent, I must then assume that PN-G had superior coaching. [/quote] with this set-up, it's next to impossible to keep it from turning into a "which school has the most posters vote" contest.  That being said, this was still a good thing for the site and for the kids who made the team, and a pretty decent outcome considering this is the first time we've tried this.  I'm going to work with hj_hawk_60 and see if we can come up with a better system next year.  There were definitely some inappropriate actions taken by a few people throughout the course of this voting process, and we'll continue to work to improve it.

i think more than anything it's just a matter of approach.  Boxing can't really put on as many marquee fights, but when they have them, they're big draws.  MMA has a lot more "superstars" these days, and they can host 10-12 bigtime fights a year.  I think if MMA only put on 4 or 5 major PPV fights per year, the draws would be bigger, but since they can get pretty big draws 10-12 times a year, it makes financial sense for them to do so.  As for my comment about boxing, it was just a joke.  I'm honestly not too much of a fan of either boxing or MMA.

[/quote] I tried to head butt the last one that I killed but I slipped and when he almost had me, I had to bite through his neck but it worked. [/quote] unfortunately for you, he didn't meet the 13-inch spread requirement and you had to drag him off in the woods for the coyotes.

[quote name="misterniceguy" post="793666" timestamp="1271977337"] well bullets you could be in the 6 sided tournament  on a team by yourself and beat everybody cuz your so good  at soccer they made you a moderator [/quote] huh? 

[quote name="baseball25" post="793411" timestamp="1271944201"] I don't know why everyone thinks boxing is dead,  I gurantee you this if UFC was going head to head against Mayweather vs mosley boxing would kill ufc in paperview numbers, Just wait till mayweather vs pacman, or mosley vs pacman its going to do huge paperview numbers, boxing isn't dead, If brock vs carwin going head to head against mosley vs mayweather or pacman vs mayweather UFC would lose that battle bad. [/quote] the big name fights in boxing get the most views, but UFC is much more consistent.  i looked up some numbers, and for the past few years HBO has had 2-3 fights that would be the top PPV draws of the year, but then the UFC would have like 9-10 of the remaining top-15 draws. 

not really a bad thing here... 3 more bubble teams will make it in, but the basic structure won't change at all.

they still have boxing?

[quote name="sharkfutbol" post="792395" timestamp="1271794547"] That is a possibiity.  Just a difference in 15 year olds playing 29 hahah.  Long as we keep it laid back.  NOT GOING TO BE exactly like a six a side league.  small field .. big goals.  Keepers get more action and harder.  More scoring.. (the american way) ;)... heck we may have a three point shot... We want it to be fast, fun, and safe.  and maybe actually improve [/quote] sounds good.  in our open league we play co-ed against 16 year olds of both sexes, and it's fine. 

[quote name="sharkfutbol" post="792345" timestamp="1271781386"] I am looking at having a small sided soccer league played at Kelly starting around May 1st.  Looking for high school players wanting to participate.  Maybe each high school gets a team or two.  Depending on the response on what days we play.  We will play the games around 530 and 630.  Girls also.  If we get enough girls teams and if not maybe co-ed.  Goals will be full side so great training for keepers.  The cost will be minimal and need waiver signed for insurance purposes.  Message me on here or call me on my cell phone.  409 719 2787 if any questions.  [/quote] if you don't get enough high schoolers for it, i know plenty of older guys (19-30) who would love to play in something like this.

i've made it pretty clear in other posts that i don't like this guy, but that being said, i doubt very seriously he's having to do any "recruiting" to get these players to transfer.  what 17-year-old basketball stud from houston wouldn't want to play for the best basketball program in the nation, especially when it's basically in his backyard?  the fault here lies with UIL rules, not with coach wise. 

i think some of the rules of the PGA need to be fixed.  I certainly admire the honesty of these golfers, but the fact that they had to make such a sacrifice over such petty infractions is pretty dumb.  i can understand turning in an incorrect score card being a reason for a penalty, but not for signing a score card that your playing partner had marked incorrectly.  it's just too rigid for me.  he loses a shot at a playoff because he nicked a weed on his way up on his backswing?  the contact was so minimal it could only be seen in slow motion?  who gives a crap then?

[quote name="PNGFan" post="791968" timestamp="1271693748"] [quote author=SFA85 link=topic=68741.msg791880#msg791880 date=1271680052] I know when the district merge and how long each school existed.  I blame those who were in power when Beaumont had 2 school districts and after the merger.  It is what it is.  Back on topic:  Congrats to CBT making those haters mad..... [/quote] If CBT was white, your whole attitude would be different. [/quote] If CBT was white then he'd be the "hater".

it's cheating.  still, the refs should catch it, and if it happens more than maybe once, the opposing coach should catch it as well.

[quote name="Rebel2" post="791754" timestamp="1271617462"] There is no doubt that its is a step below those leagues, but a quick drive to Houston is cheaper then flying to England to see a game.  Plus the air over there is full of volcanic ash..........lol [/quote] i hear you.  i went over and watched them play real salt lake in their home opener.  it was a fun experience.  there's not a bad seat in robertson stadium.  hopefully that will stand true in their new stadium as well.

[quote name="sig220" post="791698" timestamp="1271599436"] How about selling the naming rights and using the money for the athletic program? [/quote] would've been a good way to pay for that million dollar scoreboard...

i still have trouble watching MLS, although it's getting better every year.  to me, when you compare it EPL, Serie-A, and La Liga, it's kind of like watching a minor league game.  I want to like it, but i just can't get into it.  That being said, it's done a lot for our USMNT, which is definitely a good thing. 

52-3... wow.
