  1. Avs fans must be smarter. We had a few Texas Sucks chants last Wednesday but never singled out Oettinger.
  2. Lol at the Blackwood chants. He's outplayed Oettinger by a bunch so far.
  3. We are gonna find out in a couple weeks or so. When the shelves of Wally World are half empty, people are gonna freak the fuck out.
  4. I was talking to the guy at the store today about that. I don't get it and neither does he. Carbon is better in every way, IMO. I grew up using glass rods. I didn't like them then and I don't like them now. But to each their own.
  5. That was my thought. Even in a down economy, we get overrun with visitors in the summer.
  6. So here's what I think I'm going to do. Let me know if this is asking too much of my local fly shop (which is where I will purchase this gear). Since I'm set on the reel and line (SA Amplitude Smooth Trout 3wt), I was thinking that I'd have them string up the reel and then try it out behind the shop with the 2-3 rods I am considering and see how they feel. They carry the rods but don't have them in stock, so I'd be asking them to stock the other 2 that I don't buy. But I've got to think they can sell a couple 3wt rods over the summer. Is this a reasonable ask? I think I'm going to have them throw in a Scott G series as well for comparison and see how a $1k rod feels vs a $700 rod.
  7. I have no idea what you're talking about! I won $1,800 at poker on Saturday so I'm treating myself. Realistically I can buy whatever I want, but I'm trying to find the sweet spot between good gear that will last and paying way more just for a name (much like buying wine, IMO).
  8. Yeah, the more I think about it, I'm definitely going this direction. Anyone have input on Sage vs. Scott? Guy at the store (who also guides) says he likes the Sage because it's got a faster action which helps casting on breezy days. I might have to get that Coors reel for my 5wt rod.
  9. Went over and visited my local fly shop 30 min ago. Talked to them for 30 min and they recommended either a Scott Session 3wt 8'0" rod or a Sage Sonic 3wt 7'6" rod. Both are priced right around $700. Anyone have experience with either of these? For the reel, he said he's not a huge fan of Ross or Abel reels (owned by same company) because they have an open drag and you can get dirt in there if you aren't really careful with them. He suggested a Lamson or Sage reel because their drags are sealed. He also said he really likes click & pawl reels (no drag) for smaller applications like this. Anyone fish one of those? I think I'm probably leaning in that direction. Ross has one that I like (the Colorado).
  10. I don't drink beer anymore, either. But that reel is amazing. Too bad it's a 4/5 weight.
  11. AG is Mr. Nugget. Other than Jokic, he's the only guy on that roster that should be untouchable this offseason.
  12. Whatever rod I get, I think this reel needs to be on it.
  13. Miro's out for tonight. As for Makar, show me a clip and I'll give you my opinion. I was playing in a poker tournament during the game so I didn't see everything.
  14. I can go over 1k if there's a good reason. Just trying to not be crazy.
  15. Agreed on Pagosa. Sounds like a good option here.
  16. Avs looked as good a they have all season yesterday. Getting Landy back (and him being effective) is huge. This series might be 2-2, but the Stars have only led for 62 seconds in 4 games. I'm liking the Avs chances about now.
  17. Uh oh, Jets. Hellebuyck is doing the thing.
  18. Looking to buy myself a new fly rod. I've got a 9' 5 wt and want to get something lighter for the smaller rivers that are around me. Thinking of a 3wt, probably 8' or so. @DefinitelyNotHollywoodColt or others, any recs? If like to keep it under 1k for the setup.
  19. Annette. It's in Stanley Marketplace outside Denver proper, but I love that place.
  20. Holy shit, between the gamefags and the wannabe Ella fuckers, this thread is unreadable. Can we stick to the show in here and have all you incels and borderline pedos STFU? That would be super.
  21. Jacksonville says he is staying in the WR room. But he should pay both ways. I've never seen an athlete like Travis. He is 1 of 1.
  22. Already been done in the Deion thread.
  23. I got sucked over here when Thujone went viral across college FB message boards. And then I just stayed. Because I like (some) of you bastards. Colorado
  24. Because I'm not a Texas fan?
  25. Sounds like exactly what the Broncos' secondary needs. He'll likely be the Nickel corner with Moss and Surtain on the outside. Should be a really good defensive backfield.
