That didn't last long you don't seem to be able to stop running your mouth. Opinions i are all you've got. You can't prove an opinion.

I like trash talk ,but Hound is one of the coolest posters on here. I've noticed you like to whine everytime a person doesn't agree with you and say your team is going to win. lol

Trash talk can actually be fun. Apparently, Larry Bird was a trash talking Hall of Famer. If a person is going to engage in some good-natured trash talk, it is important to have a good sense of humor and to not take everything in life so seriously or perceive every comment as a personal attack. Dougie, you and Hound5 are really fun posters because you guys are just that--- a lot of fun. You have great sense of humors, are engaging, and you don't view everyone who disagrees with you as someone deserving of personal insult. I appreciate someone I can disagree with on a myriad of issues but still like personally. On the other hand, there are those that you just can't have fun with because they view life through such a serious lens. They want to make everyone as miserable as they are.

It's funny that you say that. I've been watching a lot olf old videos of larry Bird talking trash and he was my favorite basketball player. I fully agree with you. I like to have fun and cant be around people that sull up like o'possums if I try to joke with them. I just cant do the walking on egg shells thing. I'm used to being around friends that poke at each other and insult each other. lol.  I used to love talking trash to team mates at football practice. I was defensive tackle and I'd  talk to the quarterback or tell the fullback run it my way boy which I really dreaded for him to do, because he hit like a truck. lol. I dont take all this seriously and try to love most people. I'm not supposed to like Corbin or it's fans, but I've met a couple, and a lot of their fans are some of the best people if you get to know them. My mom was born near town of Corbin, so I guess I can be an honorary Corbinite. lol

Yeah, my mom was a Baker(dad was a candlestick maker...j/k lol) , my mom's mom was a Proffit(it didn't profit her much), my dad's mom was a Smith from the Meadow Creek area, and I'm also kin to the Jones' . So we are probably related in some shape or fashion. LOL

I agree that it's not a good idea to write anyone off once you get into the second and third rounds. Sure, there will be games with clear favorites but if those favorites are looking ahead, the opposing team will likely be good enough to pull the upset. I've seen it happen many times. That said, I'll be surprised to see Letcher doing any Cougar jacks after the game on Campbell Field.  The only cougars doing any jacking Friday night will be found at the Starlite in Jellico.

I have two Baker lines in my family. lol
