Good titles. Get crackin'!!!
I was bitten by a desire to write some of my outdoor adventures into article worthy publication. My one and only attempt was rudely dismissed by a well known publication who asked a good friend and fishing buddy of mine to write an article for their next edition. He shunted it to me because he was too busy fighting a powerline war. I thought I did ok, but unfortunately, nobody that mattered agreed.
Thought I'd quit, until one Christmas a friend gave a copy of his annual Christmas story. Truth is, it was so syrupy sweet, I decided to bang out a late night drunken stream of consciousness dark tale of the holiday. A tradition was born that finally came to a year I actually took a bit of time to craft another bleak tale of the underbelly of our society. It was pretty damn good, but I didn't need to say so myself. None other than a literary professor at our beloved institution pronounced it very good, while praising my voice. He taught a writing class and said that my story would have been one of the top two in all the classes he taught. It went to my head, of course, and I dreamed of sitting around the old farmhouse all day, feeding the woodstove, feeding the birds, sipping coffee and smoking herb and spending a couple of hours writing to finance my obligations.
HA! What a fucking joke that was. As anyone who tries will attest, writing is damn hard work, requiring discipline and a ton of self motivation to even slip into the game. Most of us have a good story or two to tell, but then what?
Still and all, I do wish I'd had a journal or something to jot down ideas for recollections of my days on the water and afield, if for nothing else than personal reminiscence.
His dance sequence with Marion's maid is the same exact dance that Baloo does with Louie in Jungle book.
All the timing is already done, just redraw the new model, really cuts down on the onion skinning and animation tests
He was Michigan State, though.
Big Ten really has a bad... something... going on up there.
Are we limiting to just football, or is there a Larry Nasser sized shadow included?
We closely follow this kid because he is from my wife's hometown/HS and we know the basketball coach he played for at York Central.
This kid reminds me of Michael Brewer, and he would be a blast to watch. However, I don't think Franklin is looking for a dual threat quarterback.
The other thing that comes into play is Penn State was his dream school from the crib.
With his PSU passion his transfer to Missouri was likely *only* due to Franklin telling him he didn't "fit" in his offense.
As much as I would love him to come to VT.... Don't see it.

Yeah Baloo and the bear from Robin Hood (can't remember which character the bear played) were the same, they just changed the color.
Thank you. Graduated with a journalism degree and one of my big regrets is barely doing any writing in the 20 years since. I've been told I've got a knack for it. Ironically, I date a high level journalist who gets paid the big bucks to write and occasionally be on TV.
I write stories in my head often but just don't put the pen to paper. I should just fucking do it. My two book titles that I've settled on are "Tales from the Bed of my Pickup Truck" and "This Shit Only Happens to Me"
I feel like it's usually ankle stuff. So probably an ugly twisted ankle that really hurt but he'll be back in a couple weeks.
That is awesome. I appreciate his work doing it!
Thanks Mike, may be a good spot for us to go look for them!
I've heard plenty of the schools of bulls there at SQ, and I have no doubt. They are all over Pamlico Sound. I'd expect it to be humps, drop offs and points. August and September is the time of the year to bait fish on the bottom for the bulls.
I know the slot reds and smaller fish are on mud flats, particularly in the winter. The mud flats will warm up the best and the last little cove that had the school in that I spooked is proof of that. But they were hard to see. I targeted the sand because of the ability for me to more easily see the fish on the bottom, plus I'd seen a few videos of them pushing across sand flats. You're welcome to join if you can swing it as I try to figure this fishery out.
Some youtube videos on fishing SQ:
This is a big return. I like this

Maybe he is the special teams. Kicker, punter, gunner, blocker, long snapper, ball holder. He wears a lot of hats.
They re-used a lot of the same sequences between these two movies as well as snow white and the aristocrats, etc. Copy and paste before copy and paste.
And in the era before home video it wasn't like you were going to watch one immediately after the other anyway.
Yes
Big game with national audience, of course a Hoo was going to choke.
Well they were the same artists.
A TSL article called him an analyst for us. Thought I had gone back and clarified that but must of missed this one. Sorry for the confusion and his Twitter profile is misleading in that regard.
Colandrea looked like his former UVA self. UNLV turned the ball over twice, had a punt partially blocked and a touchdown wiped out by penalty in the first half alone. They did just about everything wrong that they could. Both turnovers were by Colandrea. Fumble on 1st and Goal and an interception from the Ohio 32 yard line.
Or Jungle Book
Couldn't agree more. I'm going to give college football a few more years to figure this out, but I won't be a long-term fan if it continues to be like this. I don't like NFL, but at least they have things like drafts and caps on contracts. P4 turning into NFL-lite but worse and then you've got the G5/XFL.
Anyone still pining for Mullen?
Count me in as well, football is slipping down the ladder. CFB used to be far and away the leader. Now...
1. MLB
2. College hoops (both flavors of Hokie hoops)
3. College Football (I'll watch any good game)
4. College Wrestling (Hokies only)
5. PGA Golf (my favorite background)
6. WSBK/MotoGP/TT racing
7. NFL
At one time I had season tickets to the Suns (Chuck, KJ, Thunder Dan) but you won't catch me watching the NBA any more. For me MLB and College hoops are the only ones maintaining or improving their product.
Edit: JMFF might change my opinion of this somewhat, but the overall product isn't what it used to be.
