2025 college football 🏈
I gotta give Tulane credit - they have not given up, and that QB may have a future if he can get coached up and get his timing down.- EastTNHunter

2025 college football 🏈
This Tulane green wave @ Ole Miss rebel shark bears game is brutal in the exact opposite way of the UM @ ATM game. Huge disparity in speed, size, and talent. This is not the type of team that was intended to be let in when they setup the rules to allow the lower tier schools in the auto berths.- EastTNHunter

.270 or 30-06?
I own both. If using for just deer sized game and smaller then stick with the .270. If you want to consider an occasional elk then it’s probably a toss up. If elk is regularly hunted then I would feel more comfortable with the heavier bullet of a 30-06. A lot of it is picking nits, though. As I...- EastTNHunter

I'm Trying to Decide on a New All Around Rifle.
I would go for the Tikka over the Ruger any day. I’m not mad at the Ruger, it just isn’t quite as smooth. There may be features about the Ruger that you like better, or it may just fit you better, but if not: Tikka>Ruger 270 Win is a great round. I like 140 NABs and H4831- EastTNHunter

Go DAWGS!!! I did NOT see that coming, and it would have been a shutout if it hadn’t been for #15 granting life TWICE and 25yd to the tide offense in the fourth. That was a clinic. No idea why they are #3 instead of #2 when they have the same record, better SOS and SOR than the #2 team, and won...- EastTNHunter

2025 college football 🏈
Is the OC gone already, or coaching through the playoffs? Times have changed in the past decade, but Kirby worked that out between Bama and UGA to coach as DC for Bama through the playoff game. I feel that it’s quite different for a coordinator to take a HC job and coach through the playoff...- EastTNHunter

Scope Options - Help me Decide OR Provide Additional Ideas
I’ve always thought that 10/22 with the mannlicher stock was super cool. I’ll own one some day. Low power is going to make quick shooting small game easier, but 100yd precision may be tough. I think that a 2-7 would work great, but not many of them are made anymore.- EastTNHunter

So much for the vaunted Swarovski warranty.
I think I’d be calling back and talking to a manager- EastTNHunter

In Praise of The Winchester .270. Any good words to say about it ?
I’ll always have at least one .270 Win in my gun cabinet. Been using one for years. Killed my first deer with one. They just work. I prefer the 140gr NAB but also do just fine with 140gr TGKs and Hornady BTSPs- EastTNHunter

Go Dawgs! Took care of business with UTw, no gotta win the ones that they should and hope for Auburn to beat Bama or UTw to beat ATM to get in the SECCG. They’re definitely a better team now than they were at the beginning of the season, but they also definitely still have some warts- EastTNHunter
