  1. Spent the day on one of my favorite springtime fisheries. Started slow. Most springs, they'll take anything you toss their way, at least for a little while, but they were extra finicky today. First fish was my best--a shockingly gorgeous fine-spotted cutt that had no business being there. Crushed a white polar minnow. I'd never seen so much bronze when he flashed. Close up. Wish I'd had a buddy with me to take better pictures. This guy was toothy af. Only caught a couple more on streamers, including a nice hen. But the water was boiling with rises and I tried dozens of dry patterns in hopes of a match. Finally hit paydirt with an elk hair caddis. It wasn't an exact match (I still got refused 90 percent of the time), but it stirred up enough interest to make it fun, just not heaven. Took a lot of bouldering and bushwhacking to get to this spot. I was beat Caught about a dozen and left early. Getting old.
  2. Damn, your trails are already looking great. Did y'all not have much a winter?
  3. I was one, as well. Back during the late Shaka. Thought we might've had a chance to woo him after the 2018 disaster (the first 1 seed to ever lose an NCAA opener), but then he went and won it all the next year.
  4. CSU is going to pound the rock inside. The seem shorter but also stockier. Key for our 'Horns is going to be staying out of foul trouble. Need Disu, Shedrick, Cunningham and possibly Onyema to play smart and pick their spots.
  5. 21 points after 27 minutes of in-game time. Hate to see a great coach--and Bennett obviously is/was--fall on hard times like that. WTF is he doing?
  6. First Kirk Hebenstreit, and now Hermann Gehring.
  7. I feel like the score has been 18-14 since ... well, about 1814.
  8. CSU forwards seem kinda chonky but are getting lots of good, point-blank looks. Both these teams could shoot 30 percent tonight and brick every shot from BTA ... and then hit 60 percent against us. Just how it goes.
  9. Pretty obvious foul on CSU's second possession--first defender was all over the offensive player, but instead of embellishing the contact, the offensive player waited for the defender to roll off him, which gave another defender time to adjust and block his shot.
  10. Dear team, please don't let Kirk Herbstreit beat us. Thank you.
  11. El Nino has affected winter in southeast Idaho in some strange ways. Case in point, our lower trails are usually bone dry by now, but instead, most are still buried in snow. Fortunately, we've hit the lower 50s/upper 60s recently, and I was finally able to get on some dirt today. Took a fire road until there was too much snow to go any further. Then looped back down to town and climbed some singletrack until the risk of mudding up my bike seemed too great. Fast forward a week and I imagine all the lower, exposed trails will be rideable.
  12. He was trying to do you a favor, though.
  13. So who y'all got for dis? Care to make it interesting? I'm willing to wager any amount of @Rimbo's money.
  14. Eeesh, I dunno. That's some recycled goods there, 'stache. He's a proven winner and would be an upgrade over Boynton, but I still feel like y'all could do better.
  15. The Crown Royal Princess Throne: Because while you should never put the pussy on a pedestal, it's perfectly alright to put her in a chair.
  16. Reminds me of my medal-winning routine on the parallel bars.
  17. It's got to be a weird feeling to be 6-foot-9 and feel short cuz the KID you're playing against is more than half a foot taller than you.
  18. If possible, I'd go back to that fateful day I signed up for the Shag. There's not a day goes by I don't feel regret. Not because I'm in here, or because you think I should. I look back on the way I was then, a young, stupid kid who committed that terrible crime. I wanna talk to him. I wanna try to talk some sense to him -- tell him the way things are. But I can't. That kid's long gone and this old man is all that's left. I gotta live with that.
  19. What a Chad! Who also Fucks.
  20. ME: Sir, your brain can absorb an impressive amount of trauma. DUDE IN WHITE SHIRT: Huh?
  21. I know Texas is not the school for moral victories, but hat's off to Vic and the ladies for snagging a No.1 seed despite the injuries and setbacks. They never made excuses and kept balling. Hope they continue that trend next week.
