We’ve talked about hauling our 5th wheel out there for a 2+ week stay, but haven’t done it. I’ve made that drive before from WV to Jackson and back pulling a trailer, and it’s not fun.
There are so many idiots on the road anymore, I can’t stand to drive anywhere long distance.
We are currently planning on flying out this summer and going to Jackson and we want ti check out some places and properties in Montana.
Time will limit us, our two sons, soon to be 12 and 15, are fully engaged in summer sports, and they do not want to miss too much.

Wow you did all that in 9 days? I was thinking a route through KC (stop 1). Then to Mount Rushmore and the Badlands (stop 2) then on to Jackson/Teton (stop 3) to Zion (stop 4) to Grand Canyon (stop 5). Two days at 3/4/5 is already 8 days before we even trek home.

Covid has really kicked his butt twice. Not sure why but last year and this year it really took its toll on his energy and stamina then confidence. I was surprised it affected him as much this year in that way but it did. He has showed signs of getting out of it with his managed minutes off bench. He has provided key moments in last few games. Still not as much as you would like but he is making plays in limited chances he takes

My mother used to run about 5 miles almost every day. She’s slowly getting back up to 3 miles once or twice a week. She is still not the same since getting covid 6 months ago and she’s not sure she ever will be.

Apparently this summer like June or something Tanny’s cap hit is greatly reduced
If I read that correctly

I don’t think so at least not late but doesn’t mean much as UGA is recruit at elite level nationwide on defense so they can get almost whoever they want at those positions. I recall it mainly being TN/Michigan/KY at the end. Good enough competition for me from an edge rusher standpoint to know we got a good one

Isn’t it weird that he won defensive player of the year for the state of Georgia then? Reminds me of Worley winning Gatorade player of the year

He was likely never going to be NBA good, but he's college good. SEC preseason 1st team. 1,000pts and over 500 rebounds. His field goal percentages his junior and senior years were great (4th all time for UT in a single season his Jr. year, has the 5th highest career fg % going into this season). Has appeared on Wooden and Lute Olson Award watch lists.

He has single-handedly won us big games in his career - like when he dropped 27 with 6rb @ #6 Kentucky in the comeback win (National Player of the Week). The only UT player to score more in Rupp is Chris Lofton (31). Players that "were never that good," don't do things like that.

Just this season he was on a tear, having big games against UNC, Colorado, Texas Tech, and finally #6 AZ when he dropped 24pt 10rb (SEC player of the week).

Then he got Covid, and it was almost a month before he scored 10pts again. Something he did in 6/10 games pre-Covid and 1/11 games post-Covid. He started 10/10 games pre-Covid; 4/11 post-Covid. Averaged 25.7 min pre-Covid; 19.36 min post-Covid.

No, Fulky isn't NBA good. But he's a damn good college basketball player with a damn good career - don't let changing baselines/selective memory/revisionism make you think otherwise. Covid has 100% affected his production.

Not really with covid he was under radar early and I’m sure UGa already probably had their guys and board set. It’s also voted in by the coaches. Gatorade player of year for Worley was just media folk looking at his insane numbers. Worley also would have been better in an actual scheme fit not Butch Jones having bid bird running a read option
