After 20 pages of posts, what kind of new info are you looking for? :-\

There were 18 votes for "other". With all the interest on another post, most of these votes may be for MMS's Burke. Just an assumption. There is a total of 195 votes. Just an observation.

Correct, but the district is on the decline if nothing else just the great teachers they are loosing due to $. Disipline as a whole is also getting worse. You know, dont want to make waves or rock the boat. The board and admin approved an impressive pay increase this year which shows their effort to address the salary concerns. Quite a challenge with a limited tax base. While some good teachers may have moved on, there are many excellent teachers still in place, not to mention good new teachers that are taking their place.

A district's success is not based only on the success of it's football season. The leadership has done good job maintaining a district with a good reputation in most every area except the recent football seasons. I feel the leadership will do what's in the best interest of the district. One thing is for sure; once the smoke clears, they will still have their critics.

It's hard to keep up with the other leagues and fighters because UFC gets the most press and TV coverage. Again; like him or not kudos to Dana for great business sense.

37 - 7

$$$ is an issue, especially for financially strapped districts. We tend to forget that football is also for the school's student body and the communities and, for the most part, most would like the series to continue. Now, If your mind is set on playing a strong team to strengthen the playoff run, go ahead, step up and give Westbrook a call. That's a game we would all like to see.

I don't agree that he should have been fighting for a title either, but I'm thinking 1st it was about ticket sales and Couture wouldn't come back to fight just anybody. UFC paid Lesnar almost $500,000 for the fight, that includes the win bonus. He did say he wanted another shot at Mir, we'll see. He is certainly a big draw with a tremendous future and probably the most powerfully fighter out there. Its yet to be seen if he has the skills to go against the more experience fighters his size, much less going five rounds. One things for sure, Dana knows he has a star with Lesner.

True, Lesner is a beast, but how could he have been the #1 contender with only three career fights and one of those was a loss. I think Frank Mir defeated him within the last year. No doubt about his power, dominance and future; I just don't know about his quick rise to the top.

I was told they planned to have purple turf before being forced to make budget cuts. If so, it was a good move.

Hope there are many more games to come
