My daughter hosted the watch party. I was the lone UW grad amongst all the DU alums, and sitting pretty well the first 44 minutes.
DU looked exhausted, but that is one well-coached team that never abandons their structure and just needed a break. NTM their goalie was stellar. Could have easily...
My Saturday will be the internal family battle we were hoping for. My Badgers against my daughter's Pioneers.
She has already set the terms for watching (her patio, so an Away game for me :) )
It's also Turkey opener here, and have to get downtown for the Avs game at 7:00. Sunday morning...
HMU - Happy to answer what I can - note that I call the time we spend on the river in a raft 'Fishing', not 'Rafting' (and at least here in CO that is a relevant distinction).
My Badgers advance. More than we can say about the basketball team :) My daughters alma mater (DU) looking strong against Cornell, too.
I'm happy to root for UMD - taking down either PSU or Michigan (or both) would be just fine!
Iirc, this was one of the first threads I found on here. And it still makes me cringe.
I’ve hunted RFW a few times for turkeys and once for deer (same group of ranches in the SE corner). Had nothing but excellent treatment and experiences. Some of the operators (that one in particular) are...
Not a joke per se, but a picture I took of a poster on the wall (directly above a urinal, of course) in the bathroom of a São Paulo bar about 15y ago. Dudes a worldwide legend:
My Friend and normal archery elk partner here lives in PA. Granted, his job is flexible enough where he can spend a month out here in CO and still keep on top of work, which is not everyone's average situation. And while not a fun drive, it's doable. He is generally out 2X/year in the fall and...
Yeah - "a lot" is relative to magnitude. Even in the scenario above, that's a 2X increase in odds (though not the tag I'm interested in). Still a hail mary, but I'll take 2X.
And I agree on the point-only apps moving towards throwing in for high end tags. Especially with the 5 point minimum...
Usually a wait at Hard 8, but it’s good.
Victors is pretty unassuming in a strip mall, but the food is excellent and shockingly well-priced for the quality. With clients and vendors and what have you I think we ate at every fancy steakhouse in DFW over the years, and the food at victors is half...
Are you staying downtown?
If beer is on the menu, Manhattan Project brewing across the highway is excellent, and their food is awesome: https://manhattanproject.beer/
I spent nearly every week Mon-Thu in Dallas in 2024-2025 and I ate there weekly.
Stars play Chicago tmw - AA center is a...
I like Roy (but a 1st was steep), but I'm hoping the Avs aren’t done.
We moved Girard to get Cap space (Kulak was a good return), hoping they use it now.
Realize they need to pay Makar north of $17M soon, but with almost $7M remaining right now after Roy and Blankenburg, I would like to see...
Same. Having been a beneficiary of a Hybrid Pronghorn tag a couple of years ago that I wouldn't have drawn for ~20 years, the Random aspect is a plus for me.
I have been about a point behind the Elk hunt I want - Hybrid odds are <1% like all Hybrid draw tags. Most years they are worse than my...
There have been birds around here in the foothills in places they just shouldn’t be/have never seen them in February.
But I’m excited to chase them in 6 weeks, when it will of course dump a couple feet of snow (and will only do so on weekends).
Headed to Vermont again this spring too...
The Johnny Hockey jersey and his kids out for photos - I'm not crying, you're crying.
What a game. As an Avs guy, it's SO hard to root against my 3 favorite players, but the whole game was electric.
Wow - what a comeback by Finland. down 2-0 with 7 mins to go, they tie it and our guy Lehkonen wins it in OT.
Some great puck today. Glad I have a 7 hour teams meeting where I'm only relevant to speak occasionally so can have them on in the background.
And he had just stopped two good looks from Nate and Toews before they changed.
I really wish IIHF just had NHL Playoff style overtimes for elimination games. I realize there are challenges with timing when all the games are at one arena (one and a half, I guess) - and you just can't have a...
