Happy BDay!

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Jan 22, 2006 -> 07:07 AM) And the last two days it's been 105 and 112. And it's not a dry heat like I had in Phoenix either. It's so windy down here, you feel like you're in an oven when you go outside. And, s***, with the conversion from Celsius, it's just got be damn hot down there.

I dunno, I didn't read it, but some of Kyle Orton's performances could be judged offensive by anyone.

QUOTE(whitesox1976 @ Jan 22, 2006 -> 12:17 AM) I know what you mean. When you can remember something 18 years ago like it was yesterday, that is a sign that your getting old. Heck I can remember the 1976 White Sox like it was yesterday! I've got trouble remembering yesterday like it was yesterday.

THE BIG 12 SUCKS No where else could a team be in sole possession of 11th place, Iowa State, one game back of second. Big 12.....11 of you blow.

I agree, he should've shut his mouth. That being said, stop deflecting blame for Orton being a backup caliber QB on Muhammad.

I don't remember any of this. I think that makes you all old.

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 08:53 PM) yeah well that doesn't change the fact they still won 10 games with him as QB. Did you see how bad Grossman was in the 1st Quarter or in the 4th Quarter. The Bears should not of made a switch to a guy who when you start the playoffs would of only played a total of 6 quarters and who isn't exactly Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. s***, I can hand the ball off. The last sentence of your post makes me wonder why the f*** you think you can judge Grossman on six quarters of play. Kyle Orton's first six quarters weren't exactly Unitas-like.

Well, too bad we didn't have a poll for Soxtalk's most romantic. I think I'm in

QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 08:47 PM) Kyle Orton's QB Rating - 59.7 The Great Rex Grossman's QB Rating (including the playoff game) - 56.8 But i thought Grossman was such a huge upgrade over Orton. Just stop. Now. Orton was a great college QB. He's a nice backup, too. I'm sure the Bears WR's appreciated the ball within 5 feet of them. Orton's f***ing nothing without Thomas Jones and Adrian Peterson.

You're probably outta luck.

I'm guessing that was college. Regardless of whether that's Orton in this latest photo, he needs to learn to keep a f***ing image. An NFL QB in the 3rd biggest market/city in America. Get smarter than that.

Iowa State athletics still make me sad.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 12:46 PM) Sounds like BS to me. 60 deer? The most I've seen was 40, but remember, it's opening morning, these things are gonna be all over the place. It is known to be some of the best deer land in NE Iowa.

Iowa State makes me want to cry.

QUOTE(Steve Bartman's my idol @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 08:18 AM) I hope nobody considers hunting a sport. To quote Peanut Tillman..."if the other side don't know it's playing, it ain't a game!". Well, we field dress the deer ourselves and have them processed and then eat them, if that's what you're getting at. We also donate any deer that the hunter doesn't want to the Iowa prison system.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Jan 21, 2006 -> 07:20 AM) Last weekend I was running the kitchen for a Boy Scout event and we had a leg left over from a doe we processed for an Indian Lore weekend. I wasn't prepared for vension, and had to make do with whatever provisions I could find around camp. I carefully butchered the meat, extra lean, and soaked it in milk for a couple hours. I started to boil it for stew, skimming and changing the water every hour or so. I found some canned, sliced potatos, corn, and carrots and added them. I also found some powdered brown gravy mix and an assortment of italian seasoning. Best damn vension stew I've had in a long time. I made enough for about 60 people and received rave reviews. Most didn't realize it was venison until we told them. I think you stole the milk thing from me in a previous thread!

Yay, another big swingish game for ISU, hosting Texas A&M. Win this one and we are in a lot better shape, than well, if we didn't. Ohhh Digger, you and your tielighters.

The land I hunt borders a state park in NE Iowa. The people in the house said while I saw 0 deer Saturday morning....they saw SIXTY across a draw.

Pods still has a better chance, .000001, to start in CF, then Jerry Owens, at 0%. If people thought Pods was bad in CF, they're in for a surprise if Jerry would end up there.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Jan 20, 2006 -> 11:54 PM) Congrats. From this point on NOTHING will ever make you nervous again. Oh, he's still got the Sox.

QUOTE(SouthSidein05 @ Jan 20, 2006 -> 11:09 PM) I just started a new sports board. Its a crappy Invisionfree board and probably isn't going to make it far, but I noticed a lot of you guys are smart inciteful fans. Join up if you want: http://s15.invisionfree.com/Pro_Baseball_Daily/index.php I don't know if you meant that spelling, but it makes me giggle.

QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jan 20, 2006 -> 10:27 PM) An 8 pointer and a doe in 4 years is not bad at all. Do you hunt archery and rifle? No, just a 20. The first year I actually hunted from a turkey tent with my dad. I was a little gunshy and probably could've had a doe, but I was over anxious. My second year was my first in stand, by myself. It's beyyyyyond weird sitting in a tree at 6 in the morning. Plus, it's pitch black, plus you can't have a flashlight on, plus it's damn cold. I got my doe at 11:30 on the second morning, as it walked in front of me at about 15 yards. About 3 minutes later, a buck walked right where the doe had been when I shot it....a 4 pt but missing it's left side. I saw the doe drop within 100 yards. That was also the first time I'd field dressed a deer. My uncle walked me thru it. I did get a hole in my gloves, but I was thankful to be warm. Took me a while, but I got it gutted and all. The second year, I saw nothing I could shoot thru 1.5 days. The final afternoon, my uncle moved me to my brother's stand, about 150 yards from my house. They said they'd ring a bell they had if a deer was coming from behind me. Sure enough, they rang it about 4:00 PM and that 8 pointer came up from my left. I pulled up real slow like as it headed toward me. I lined up on the front left leg and just followed it as it started to walk by me. At about 25 yards, I had a nice shot at the side, so I lined up and shot. My uncle and dad always told me to shoot it again, just to make sure. I clipped it's back leg as it was running. I thought I was gonna have to chase it, but it couldn't make it up a hill to my right, and it stumbled and fell back into a dry creek bed. My dad and uncle said they were falling over each other to get to the bell, and they said it was just awesome to watch me do it. Even said I did it all right. We got down there, and pulled the deer out with a winch and an atv. I then field dressed it and took it up to hang. This past year was the most uncomfortable by far. Temps were between 0-15 all when we were out there. Saturday morning I missed that buck at 9 am as it snuck up on my left and surprised me. I pulled up and spooked it, and it started to run away from me. I took a premature shot, I feel, and missed it, and couldn't shoot at it again before it slipped over a hill. On Saturday night it snowed and you get quite cold when the snow ultimately goes down the back of your neck because it's blowing into your hood and into your face. This year, I was also in a double stand surrounded by camo netting. I didn't care for it at all, it felt too open. Sunday morning I was also skunked. Sunday night, I went to my uncle's stand, nicknamed the "comfy stand". It's this bad boy: That night I saw nothing, and managed to lose feeling in my right foot. When I went in it was 0 degrees, but it was cooler in the woods where I was. Still a mighty fun time. Nothing like one of those "guy things". My dad didn't get anything, but kept going out later that week....one morning it was -17 when he went out. So, there's a short story about my deer hunting adventures....

QUOTE(WilliamTell @ Jan 20, 2006 -> 04:49 PM) I heard Ames, Iowa was getting it bad but Heads would be the one to ask about that. It was snowing good for about 4 hrs.....about 2-3 inches....but it's REALLY slick.

My uncle did get it though. So over the last 4 years... 1st year: nada, no shot 2nd year: doe, one shot, heart, 15 yds 3rd year: 8 pt buck, one shot, heart, second shot, back right leg on the run, 25 yds. 4th year: nada, one shot, miss
