While the Gophers and Utah Utes are fighting over the 2 and 3 star recruits from South Dakota

nice knock on HS athletes from SD....stay classy bigdave. For the record there arent any players from SD that play for the Gophers or the Utes. There are some that play for Nebraska, IOWA, ISU, Ohio State, Oklahoma, NDSU etc....

We might as well not do the college play off next year since according to bigdave the #1 recruiting class determines the National Champ.....

C'mon Dave Clowney made one big hit against Michigan and everybody including ESPN blew it up and made it a big deal. If you knew football you would realize that Clowney doesn't want to play football he just wants to get paid and lead the lifestyle like a lot of these players today. And for the record I am not a huge Gopher football fan just a football fan based on my experience - Major college football for 4 years and pro football for 4 years. It's nice to be a football fan for a specific college and live vicariously through the team I guess but I find it kind of pathetic. Just my opinion. I watch football for the love and beauty of the game and would be just as happy watching a high school game as a college or football game. If you need to roll tide by all means do it.

I still have a few friends in the industry and they say never has there ever been such great athletes but poor football players in college. These kids don't have a grasp of the game and get by on their skill set until they get to the pros where they're absolutely lost and their athletic ability is matched by every player out there. End result is the game is too quick for them, they have to think instead of being instinctual and they flounder. The high school and college coaches teaching the spread offense is doing nothing for these kids. It pads statistics because of the isolation aspect of the scheme but teaches them nothing about understanding the game.

It's the consumed sad life of some Bama and Bison fans....

    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
