re: Bigfoot- Believe or No?

[quote]Because it was easy to fool people back then. [/quote]
Imagine how easy it was to fool ignorant people with no cameras, no organized news, no televisions, no radios, primitive science, etc. Just word of mouth between Cities A, B, C, and so forth.
There’s a reason all these big miracles s...

[quote]I can’t discount every sighting. [/quote]
All things (Bigfoot, Nessie, E.T., ghosts, religious figures, etc.) have their supposed eyewitnesses. It’s unreasonable to take any of them seriously without evidence that matches the significance of the claim.
It baffles me how so many people kn...

[quote]Well Najee had 172 all purpose yards in the 2019 Iron Bowl so that's not that great of an example.[/quote]
Because he’s a great player. It has nothing to do with a willingness to jump on a grenade to beat Auburn.

[quote]Also, you probably don’t understand the Iron Bowl if you think either Alabama or Auburn would ever be unmotivated and unprepared for that game.[/quote]
How many players who started for Alabama in the 2019 Iron Bowl were even from Alabama?
The players want to win every game, but I doubt a ...

[quote]But kickers were still using kicking tees back then. A 52 yarder wasn't THAT big a deal.[/quote]
With six seconds left in the Iron Bowl and down by one point, yes, it was. 52 yards is a long FG for any era.
And although kickers used a tee back then, kickers today have a lot more emphasis...

Wars, rumors of wars, evil people, and insanity and violence in the Middle East.
Such bold predictions since that’s been going on pretty much constantly for thousands of years.

No.
Today’s Iowa vs. South Carolina game is the only women’s college basketball game I have ever watched and probably ever will watch. The Clark hype and it being a championship game was enough to lure me in.
