Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

I'm up north in Ft Collins now was in Loveland for HS...Columbine was a scary situation here in CO, couldn't imagine being that close to it...I remember walking into the weight room to get my off season football workout in after school and Uncle Nasty from KBPI was talking about a school shooting on the radio and I asked someone what was going on....That was the 1st I heard of the shooting it was never mentioned at school during the day

Yeah.. the street I lived on was the cut off for our HS's... across the street was Columbine.. on my side was Bear Creek.  Her name was Cassie.  You can google her.  She had a crush on me and my twin bro.  Sad.

Justin Holland...The best HS Quarterback in CO history (to that point) went to Bear Creek and one of five prep QB's to throw for over 10,000 yards in HS football history and then went to CSU and never amounted to much!

I know im not an american and i dont agree with the actions of most governments but the men and women that serve to protect us and the ones in the past that served and won us our freedoms to live the way that currently makes us happy deserve a lot of respect.  I appreciate them and the efforts and sacrifices they make.

Didn't get an email yet. But I think it's $500 betting credit.

Use it wisely!  If you don't mind, would you keep us updated in this thread on what you do decide to use it on?  It would be cool to see you turn that $500 into another zero on the end.
