Commerce will travel to Franklin County to face the Lions this Friday night. Game Time is 730. Franklin County play Hart Co. to a tie in their opener.
I’ll have some info up on Franklin county soon.
UFC 118 had some good fights but some were boring. The boxing versus MMA fight with Randy Couture v James Toney was sort of a sideshow event. It was a non event as Couture put the way past his prime boxer on his back and made him tap out in the 1st round. No surprise to anyone I imagine.
Toney looked out of shape, which he has for a while now, and showed no mma skills. But I give him credit for even taking the fight. Fighting a legend like Couture was pretty dumb but he did get in a cage with the guy.
Anyone who wants to compare mma and boxing is wasting their time. They are 2 very different sports. When one athlete crosses over to the other he is likely going to lose unless he trains for a few years in the sport that is new to him.
There’s a good article up on yahoo sports that says it all. Read it here.

The Tiger webcast went pretty smoothly from what I was able to watch Friday night. It is no substitute for being at the game but for out of town Tigers it is great. It is also good for when things pop up and prevent you from going to the games. You can also watch Commerce Tiger football replays here courtesy of WJJC.
If your drivers license is suspended you might want to make sure to not drive. If you have to get out though just make sure and drive the speed limit and don’t run stop signs. Just forward this to the rest of the UGA football team.
Apparently former ECI superstar Washaun Ealey and current Bulldog tailback did not realize he needed to follow the measures above. He must have had an emergency that he needed to be driving at 3:19 am. At least he was careful and did not hit a pedestrian. He only hit a parked car. The disturbing part is that alcohol was not involved….. How the hell do you hit a parked car while sober?
I know this guy is just a kid but surely someone at some point has told him what to do to stay out of the papers and jail since he arrived at UGA. Two words for any athletes that don’t want to end up in the paper: Act right.
After a first half that saw the score the same as this morning, 0-0, the offenses did their thing in the second half. Jefferson was up by 11 at one point but Commerce did not lay down. They converted a late 2 point play then stopped Jefferson on a 3 and out.
That set up a possible game winning drive or at least a FG to tie. The Tigers had to start on their 4 yard line after a penalty but managed to move within FG range with a few seconds left in the game. To the disgust of Tiger fan, the kick was blocked and the Dragon Seniors escaped without ever losing to Commerce…. 4 in a row for Jefferson. 17-14 the final.
Apparently the Commerce / Jefferson game with be available online this Friday as a webcast… audio and video. Also all the Tiger games will be online. This is surprising and very cool. Just go to wjjc.net and click the link to watch or listen.
The gentleman who did the BIG Tiger Sign at the scoreboard end of the Tiger Stadium was Claudius Bruce. He passed away last Friday. He did a lot signs and T Shirts for CHS in past seasons with his Custom Signs and Awards business before he sold the business about six years ago. After selling his business, the new name of the business now is Logo Express, Inc. He also created the State Championship (1981 and 2000) signs that are attached to the front of the Tiger Stadium press box.
He was a fine gentleman and a great Tiger follower and supporter. By the way, he did not charge CHS any fee for the materials or labor in making the big Tiger sign back in 2002.
