  1. I have been a fan my whole life and will continue to be one.  Earliest memories are watching Mark Spitz in Munich.  Franz Klammer in Innsbruck going downhill in 76 just letting his balls hang.  Being in the middle of a pasture in Gatesville, Tx at a campout and watching the Miracle on Ice on a TV hooked up to a generator.  Last night, watching that dude from Norway looking like he was about to be had in the last 100 meters and gutting it out to break his world record.  

    I get it about some sports... BMX, Skateboarding, and Beach Volleyball but they have to get eyes on the tv.  That being said, I dig the Snowboarding events during winter.

    Shhhh, don’t be sending people to my spot. We’ve had a house on the west end of Sanibel for several years. Everything from Anna Maria south is so much better than the Destin area in my opinion. That is after spending a couple of weeks a year on 30A for 20 years and also looking to buy there when we ended up buying on Sanibel. We spent a couple of weeks a year in both places and it ended up not being a hard choice to buy on Sanibel. However, it’s been a lot busier this summer than prior summers. Luckily, we’re in a small neighborhood bordered by nature reserves on both sides so at least our beach is always empty.

    The original Goatfeathers location closer to Blue Mountain Beach was always easier to get in and out of than the other.

    I definitely get the appeal of wanting to buy there.  We stayed off E Gulf Drive about a mile west of the lighthouse.  There were several condo complexes along that stretch and so it was not too crowded in the water.  You could see a good bit of people on the public beaches though.  

  3. I would say futureman is a great fisherman but I think most would frown upon his liberal use of dynamite at times...but if it gets the job done... who am I to judge.

  4. Been to Destin a lot.  We have place we like to stay on Miramar Beach.  We have been enough to know we don't give a crap about doing anything else but sitting on the beach.  Last couple of trips are starting to take the luster off going though.  People can't seem to grasp concepts of not intruding on other peoples spaces.  Did you pay for those beach chairs and umbrellas in front of my condo?  No, you did not.  Do I want to listen to your shitty top 40 bubble gum music piped out through your shitty Kraco-esque speakers? No, I do not. 

    Anyway, spent last week on Sanibel Island.  Flew into Tampa and rented a car, (ACE upgraded me to a Hemi-Durango at no cost).  There was a tad of what I mentioned earlier (loud music) but it was such a laid back experience, I definitely want to go back.  The main drag is a two lane road.  Lots of mom and pop places.  Only chains I saw were Chevron, 7-11, and DQ.  There are probably more but still no overt commercialism.  Drove around to Captiva, same vibe up there as well.  We stayed in a complex with an ocean front view condo.  The grounds were amazing.  Lots of vegetation... reminded me of Hawaii (or probably more appropriately, Key West).

     

  5. I too hope ISU and OSU find landing spots.
    Fuck Baylor forever and piss on them on the way out. 
    Today for sure we are no longer a cultural fit for the SEC and Dixie.  But don't forget about 1860's John Bell Hood:  
    My feet are torn and bloody,
    My heart is full of woe,
    I'm going back to Georgia
    To find my uncle Joe [Johnston].
    You may talk about your Beauregard,
    You may sing of Bobby Lee,
    But the gallant Hood of Texas
    He played hell in Tennessee.

    I edited out a part that mentioned our Civil War history.

  6. I am no team Max or Lewis guy.  It is fun watching these two race and that is what they were doing when the wreck happened.  I get people saying enough wasn't done regarding Hamilton's penalty though.  Both these guys are THE apex predators on the track and as others have said, they were bound to have something like this happen.
