  1. I hadn’t heard that. And I’m just guessing you mean the Oregon coach?
  2. I’m just speculating, but I don’t think he really cares. At least not in the same way a Saban or Smart does. Those guys spend 24/7 looking for an edge. Riley on the other hand loves the trappings of the profession and cooks shit BBQ. I think it was the glitter more than the potential of winning that took him to SC.
  3. I really don’t need to watch a video. I have spoken with him on several occasions at Clemson’s booster club gatherings. My kid is on the board of IPTAY donation group. I also don’t necessarily disagree with any your particular points. But, to be the face of a major program? Yeah, that I didn’t see. Obviously Castiglione saw something else.
  4. I live a short distance from Clemson. I had seen him many times while he was there. And nothing I ever saw suggested head coach material. Great assistant, lots of success, not particularly well spoken. And, there were many rumors as well. So when Riley gutted that program, in a way I had not seen before. By not only his departure, but taking 75% of the offense with him, and collapsing the remaining staff. It sure looked like a multi year rebuilding job. So yeah, I’m surprised that the guy I saw with the deer in the headlights look at his opening presser managed to pull this off in year two. Surprised the shit out of me.
  5. If Venables turns out to be a really good head coach. Which I struggle to believe. That fucking Castiglione is a hell of an AD.

    The defensive line is what surprised me. I honestly didn’t think they could handle us.
  7. My only advice is never fuck with eBay on Percocet. Man, you will buy some fucked up shit.
  8. Did you have any interest in getting the letter from Colt? Admittedly it can get a little expensive the older/higher value firearm you submit. But, it is a neat document to have around when sharing good bourbon with friends.
  9. Hell Brat, I don’t believe I even stand 25 yards when shooting a pistol? I have a couple of scoped pistols like a T/C Super 14 I may shoot at 50 yards. But, that’s on a bench using bags. Iron sights? Hell no.
  10. I love them. Here is one I bought as a complete rifle new (this one is in .308) that I have never fired. Still has the Howa sticker on the stock. This was probably 10 years ago? When the stainless thing was big.
  11. One of my safe queens. 1965 Python.
  12. The .223 is 1:8, but it has been re-barreled. The .22.250 and the .204 are both 1:12. I was looking on gunbroker and I noticed much has changed from Howa. Their line is far more extensive than I remember. But these three are blue 1500’s, all with heavy barrels. I love em, and because of the price point I don’t mind taking them in the field.
  13. Back some years ago Dicks sporting goods was selling Howa barreled actions for around $450. I bought a .223, .22-250 and a .204. I Bought three Houge stocks off of eBay for next to nothing. Ended up with three great rifles at a great price. I love the brand. The fact they were also making barreled actions for Weatherby and Smith and Wesson rifle's just confirmed to me they were legit. Affordability, accurate and great fit and finish.
  14. Tikka is an under appreciated platform. One could argue it’s basically a Sako. Though like a HOWA the barrels are reverse threaded, which requires a smith who has the correct setup to re-barrel one.
  15. I know it sounds far fetched. But I started doing yoga and practicing meditation because other guys who shot better scores were doing it. I have no data to support the impact of incorporating the practice into my shooting, but I believe it made a difference. Especially on really hot humid days where my concentration waned when I would get uncomfortable. That said, if a guy was consistently beating me, and he chewed tobacco while wearing an eyepatch, I would probably have done that too.
  16. I believe it to be the most accurate cartridge available…if you are a patient reloader. And are not shy about fire forming brass.
  17. Sorry, I fucked something up. But it is a Blancpain fifty fathoms.
  18. I saw a YouTube video on these. I’m interested in seeing one in the wild. IMG_4568.webp
