Fedor and Strikeforce were both winners last night. I also give some credit to Rogers for bringing it to him. He gave him all he could handle in the first round and a couple times it looked like he was going to finish him off. But like a true champion Fedor worked through it and took Rogers down in grand fashion. As a fan I'll agree that I would [b]love[/b] to see him in the UFC and fight Lesner and others but I also agree they need him more than he needs them.

Great season

PNG may want to wait until the whole campus is complete and the parking, and other issues, are improved so their district can be represented well. They may want other team's playoff experiences to be good so teams want to return to. Maybe.

LCM had a much better season than a 4-6 record might represent. Can't wait until next year.

What tha?? He should have waited until tonights results to see the future of Strikeforce According to Kevin Iole of Yahoo Sports, Dan Henderson may have signed a contract with Strikeforce. Henderson will be at the Sears Centre on Saturday for the Strikeforce event as he will work the corner of Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou and Dana White says he has signed, saying.. "I guarantee you 1,000 percent that Dan Henderson is signed by Strikeforce. Dan and I have been friends and we will continue to be friends, but it just didn't work out and he went to Strikeforce."

I hadn't seen the recent rankings and I don't disagree about #1 & 2. But depending on the outcome of Fedor's high profile fight his rank could go back up. Of coarse if it's not impressive it will damage his rep.

Get an idea how long he will be out. If its reasonable, be patient. If its quite a while or unknown, go to an interim. Now, had Fedor came to the UFC and Lesnar had to back out it sure would have looked bad. Would he have been interim?

I don't disagree that he needs to fight Lesnar but since he is considered the #1 PFP fighter in the world it appears he has the respect of MMA fans. I have also considered Danna the best in the business and I thought Fedor needed the UFC for exposure but Strikeforce with Fedor have landed a primetime fight on a major network for free viewing. Something Danna and the UFC either hasn't been able to do or wouldn't do because of money. Makes me wonder.

With so much riding on the fight for Strikeforce I hope the fight is on the up and up. And the best part is,,, Its free!!! No PPV

So what are you trying to say? Do you honestly think they would even be in these games without him? [/quote] I expect with Crouch working with Gonzales for the next year, we are going to enjoy seeing him during his senior year

[quote name="Domination Station" post="690660" timestamp="1256928009"] Can anyone report on the condition of LCM's field?  Does it drain well?  Was it by chance tarped? [/quote] Very wet, just like everyone elses.

Nov 7 live on CBS. Strike force landed a mainsteam primetime slot on a major network featuring the #1 PFP fighter in the world. I considered Dana White the marketing guru of MMA but not a bad move for Stikeforce, an organization considered on it's way out. What do you think?

I didn't see the fight but read different opinions and all thought it was very close. I have to agree that "very close" tends to go to the title holder. By far the toughest fight Machida has ever had. Machida, Shogun and Danna all agree there will be a rematch soon.

Great job. Keep up the hard work as you enter the play offs

I second that. Cerainly the comeback of the year.

Unless the game of the year is a game that actually means something. You can't imagine what it meant to the Bears. First district win since 2006.

wanted to bump this post. I don't think the majority of people reailze what is mandated by the state and federal govt. Schools are held accountable for so many things most people don't know about. Discipline, whether on or off campus, is one of them. A student has a 'right' to attend a safe school. Districts are judged/rated by the actions of the students that attend their schools. Even if a student does something off campus, a district can be held 'accountable' in the sense that the student attends that school. If he isn't 'safe' to be around off campus, is he 'safe' to be around on campus? Schools have to report these things to the state...and they are rated if they are a safe school or not. Think about this, if a student is arrested off campus...say for something to do with weapons...and he comes to school while awaiting trial...would you consider him a risk to other students? What if the arrest was a sexual crime? Would you want the student attending class and setting next to your daughter? The schools have to do what they have to do to try to keep the other students safe. Something done off campus can affect things on campus. By law, students are required to attend school. If a student is arrested for a crime, but is not in jail...is awaiting trial, served his time, etc...then the school has to serve the student. But it's not always in the best interest of other students to have them in the general population. Hence the laws that certain things done by students, on OR off campus, mandate that they be placed in alternative education, suspened, and sometimes expelled. And, if a school DIDN'T take action with some of these kids, and something terrible happened at school...what would we be saying then? That the school knew about the problem student and should've done something? Obviously I'm not talking about non threatening discipline problems. But, there are students out there who are a threat to other students. Also, another thing to consider. If these problem students drop out of school, then the district is held accountable for that also. Dropout rate affects TAKS ratings...I don't know that most people realize that TAKS ratings are more than just how well the students perform on the test. So, schools will also do what they can to keep these kids from being considered dropouts...alternative education, GED programs, juvenile dention, etc. I don't agree with it all. It's not a school's fault if a student is arrested or does something stupid off campus. It's not necessarily their fault if a student drops out of school. But they are held accountable for it. Good info, and your right, there's more to it than most know.

What a great game!! The comeback win is well deserved and represents the way the Bears have fought all year. Again, well deserved. Tough loss for Livingston.

I hope Forrest gets serious

All I can do is hope

I'm confused ??? Not a single post from AAW on this thread. The way he claims to really be a supporter/admire of the program I would have at least expected a kudos.

I kept expecting Kimbo to tap out due to a belly smuther maneuver

I agree with both of you. He does have a good attitude and personality but I was not impressed with either of them. Roy looked sloppy and limited. Kimbo looked like he had the potential for a good stand up but looked to reserved.

Every game Friday night was extremely close and I expect the rest of the season going down to the wire. The refs are going to catch heck this season with such close games. They're going to get the blame for many close losses.

The HS was not annexed because there was no revenue to benefit the city.
