Forrest will be winner. So don't worry.

Only to e-mail my family once a week. I could sneak on to another site and find out...but that would kinda be lame.

 

[jarrod2323]

wow - that sux, but I understand the whole focus concept.. sucks, really... 2 years, too right?

 

[DJT]

Yep 2 years. It will be good though. I'll post a big i'm leaving thread when it gets closer. No following sports for 2 years will be real tough, i'll have alot to catch up on when I get back.

I just watched The Ultimate Fighter from yesterday...my thoughts: Jesse vs Dante was flat out horrible. Neither fighter showed anything. Also I am very very very happy Amir won. I really like him, just has a cool attitude and personality I think. But I was surprised that Amir didn't pound him out on the ground, I think he really could of.

next week, my boy Tim fights Rampage's #1 guy.. mainly cuz all the other fighters didn't want to fight him.. should be a good fight (and obviously, I will be rooting for Credeur)

 

[DJT]

Credeur I think thinks his better than he really is. He is a funny guy though and I like him. Also he is fighting Rampages #2 guy in Cramer. (CB is #1) I like how Credeur said he is better looking than me, so I want to know that I can beat him up. And I think i'm gonna make 16 year old girls around the country cry. I'm cheering for Rampages guys though, there are only 2 of them.

 

[bodawg]

I'd like to be able to join in the TUF discussion, but they don't show current seasons here. They have TUF 5, but it's on at crappy times.

Well I'm not overly excited for UFC 85. I like Bisping and Swick, so I'm hoping they'll win. I'll watch it, but I don't know how much to expect from it. It will probably be a good show.

 

[DJT]

Don't you have Tivo or DVR or anything? Just record them and watch at a convenient time.

I cant stand Amir's stupid ass haircut. I was seriously hoping Brown would beat the snot out of him, which he did but oh well. Brown was my pick to win.

Forrest will be winner. So don't worry.

There's no way my boy Rampage lets that happen. He's too strong for Forrest, and he'll take him down and ground and pound him. Rampage by decision.

Also next weeks Ultimate Fighter looks amazing. The two fights should be really good, and Jesse gets pissed off at that punk. (I forgot his name, but he fought Brown in the first round) I really want to see him get his ass kicked again.

Yea, his mullet/streaks are kinda silly, but I just like his attitude.

His name is Jeremy May, and I hope Jesse kicks the shiz out of him, or anyone really.

Forrest is better and smarter. We thinks Rampage is a douche.

 

[DJT]

Rampage and Forrest are both awesome guys. They are funny, and have good personality's. May the best man win.

 

[djhipp]

Hope your kidding. Rampage is a WAY Smarter and better fighter. Forrest is a better coach though.

 

[jarrod2323]

WEC last night was mixed..

the two belt bouts were good, but the others were lackluster... surprised the Faber actually did so wel in his stand-up with Pulver... the other fight was phenomenal, especially the first round -- both were just wailing away at each other

 

[utexas1007]

Chad, I hope you're kidding about the ground and pound by Rampage on Forrest. Rampage is just gonna knock him out.
