**UFC-Boxing thread** McGregor vs Cowboy Cerrone booked. Plus Mayweather rumors ect.

Next weekends fight card is bleh besides the headliner where Overreem will attempt too avoid his 14th ko-tko loss vs monster unbeaten african Rozenstruik who is 9-0 8 kos

Things get better December 14th ufc 145 https://m.sherdog.com/events/matches/UFC-245-Usman-vs-Covington-76607

Then https://m.sherdog.com/events/matches/UFC-246-McGregor-vs-Cerrone-82425

Conor vs Cowboy will be at 170. Conor split two fights with Nate Diaz i. 2016 at 170. Other then that he has been 145lbs or 155 lbs last fought October 2018 vs Khabib Nurmagomedov by sub (all 4 of conors career losses by sub and cerrone has won 17 of his 36 career wins by submission)

I totally see Cowboy winning this and Conor possibly retiring.

Just announced Khabib will fight Tony Ferguson in April

No word on the threesome of Miocic-Cormier-Ngaunou who will fight who when

Jon Jonezzz who looked deflated from being off steroids in July winning. a boring **** ass Split Decision vs Thiago Santos will fight Dominick Reyez at UFC-247

Dana White posted **** on his twitter about Floyd either boxing another ufc guy or fighting in the octagon. Dana loves Matweather for letting Conor win 2 or 3 rounds and carrying him for 10 rounds when they boxed August 2017

I Pacquiao he is a cheat who lost 4 timez too Marquez in my book. I'd love too see a 42year old floyd humble him again.

Golf Tournament Ideas

A group of us run a golf tournament (4-Person Best Shot) and we are looking for new ideas/wrinkles to improve our event. We are in our second year and want to create a full tournament this year. What types of things have you seen included with these events? Obviously, we have great pin events, hole in one sponsors, hole sponsors, a good meal, and gift bags for every player. Want to avoid any raffles if at all possible since it becomes a hassle sometimes to get them to players. Thanks for any tips!

Best Father-Son duo's in Wrestling history

When I'm bored I brainstorm wrestling for fun
In light of David Carr and Nelson Brands getting top 10 wins in there 2nd ever varsity matches and their fathers being Olympic Bronze Medalist's...who are the best dad-sons combinations in our sport??

Without a doubt there are way more brother combos for well known reasons. There are prbly alot of good wrestlers who had great sons and great wrestlers who had sons who were fairly good

I thought of a few off the top of my my head but I also drew a blank so i decided too make a thread bout it.

Pro Football Focus All-Big 12 team

Pro Football Focus released its All-Big 12 team this morning so I figured I'd post Iowa State's selections here.

First-team: Charlie Kolar (TE), Mike Rose (LB)

Second-team: Breece Hall (RB), Deshaunte Jones (WR)

Third-team: Brock Purdy (QB), Chase Allen (TE), Josh Knipfel (OG), Kene Nwangwu (KR)

Honorable Mention: Tarique Milton (WR), Bryce Meeker (OT), Marcel Spears (LB), Anthony Johnson (Flex)

Kolar was also named an All-American by the site yesterday. The Big 12 will announce its official awards this week.

Square credit card reader for smartphone

Do any of you have experience setting one of these up for your business?

I run an annual golf tournament and think this would be a great thing for us to maximize donation dollars. But I haven't looked into what is needed to accept the payments.

Currently I use PayPal to accept credit cards on our website, is that all I need? Do the readers work very well? Do you have a better suggestion for me to be able to accept credit card payments live on the course?

TIA

How do think it will turn out in the B12?

Here's my guess and it's certainly that because so many changes have happened since last year.

1. Texas - solid QB play and depth (must beat LSU to set the stage)
2. ISU - if they stay healthy with that defense will challenge for championship game title (must beat Iowa)
3. OU - lost too much on the line of scrimmage and this guy's not Heisman quality
4. TxT - excellence at QB and other parts will be the B12 surprise
5. Bu - solid QB play for third-year coach
6. K-State - Klieman behind quality on both lines of scrimmage will show why he has 7 rings
7. TCU - getting a lot of preseason blow for starting K-State's second-team QB
8. oSu - still don't know who's at QB
9. WVU - Dana left little
10. Ku - Les may be institutionalized before season ends

Actually, after the first three standouts, I haven't a clue how the other 7 will playout. Yours?

Re-al Mitchell Packages

One of the most disappointing parts of this season was our lack of creativity in getting one of our most dynamic playmakers on the field in Re-al Mitchell. I feel like that was a major fail on the coaching staff. I really hope they work on some packages to make that happen next year, but my fear is that he will transfer. Nights like Kansas State, he could have been a real spark plug/difference-maker. Will anything change next year? Will he still be around?

Twister Sister Summary - ho hum....who are we playing?

The title should say it all. Yesterday I watched a team that was going through its paces as if it were the day after New Year’s eve and everyone had a hangover. After coming out of the gates fast, everything went into neutral for quite a while as the team seemed discombobulated and never seem to find a groove. Exceptions to this were Ashley and Nez. I would also say that watching Rae run the point was fun. She took control and I never felt we were missing anything in that position. Maggie was way off in her shooting, but distributed the ball quite well. Here are some general observations:

Ashley Is definitely not having a sophomore slump. She is capable of contributing positively to this team in multiple ways. It seemed like she was able to turn it on at nearly any point in time and make a difference. She is the heart and soul of the team right now.

Kristen is still not herself. She struggled shooting and appeared to just be struggling in general before getting banged up in the second half and sitting out the rest of the game. We need her to heal and quickly!

I was impressed with the court awareness of Nez. She seem to put herself in the right position to receive passes and score as well as seeing other teammates. She had several beautiful assist during the game. You could tell she was having fun.

I enjoyed seeing Rae shoot from outside and make her presence known. This will be critical moving forward.

Outside of those players everyone else seem to be out of sync. I saw too many errant passes and defensive breakdowns for my taste. Except for Rae, anyone that played point was too timid when New Orleans placed full court pressure and double teams on as we advanced the ball.

The team has a rough schedule coming up with Alabama, Iowa, and northern Iowa in the next couple of weeks. While I have not been impressed with Iowa, all three of those are capable of beating our sisters if they do not bring their A game. We definitely miss Madison and Kristen. Let’s hope we get them back and that the team looks more in sync as they wrap up their nonconference schedule.
