Wow..... that's amazing. If I ever get to pick out a vacation, I'm picking Alaska.

Post more pics.




*Those pictures are so breathtaking, I can almost smell the Yetis

This is Mendenhall Glacier...

This is some dork my family dubbed "Whale Watching Ken"...

This is a Vol moose...

This is Dawe's Glacier and the end of the Endicott Arm...very cool side quest...

This is just the constant view while in Alaska...

For every Boo and Nico, I’m thankful there are 100’s more Derek Barnett’s.

They were chewing this morning before the heat! A beautiful 18” river warrior taken on a small hellgrammite pattern fished under a popper. Like fishing a dry dropper for trout. View attachment 758628

Imo it isn’t “one” issue. They are all different. Some are lazy. Some don’t like contact. Some don’t like authority. Some are arrogant. Some won’t listen. Some are injury prone. Some aren’t competitive enough. Some do for sure get bad coaching.

Well I guess that somes it up

Nice catch. What kind of knot do you use for dropper? surgeon's?

 

[RandomUTfan]

EB is easily one of the greatest college football players that played the game. Being fair, I think Timmy Tim Tebow is the best COLLEGE player ive seen. Rocket Ismael. I dont recall seeing Herschel or Bo. I was very young. Id say of Cordarrelle, Jamal, Peyun, and Al. Really only Pey'un makes that list. Cam Newton. Al may be on there somwhere.

Maybe there are others that ive seen. But those jump out to me. When I saw them live it was like ****, those dudes are best ive ever seen.

I don't think I've ever seen a college football player that, when their team needed a yard, I had more confidence they could get it than Tim Tebow. That's all I'll say nice about him.

8 yards*

For this technique I just tie to bend of hook on popper. For dry dropper on trout yes I use a double surgeon’s with about 6-8” tag tied inline.

Well, he didn't run out of bounds on the last play of the game, down by less than a touchdown, and by most accounts he's a very good person.

Utterly awesome. (except for the VOLmoose pic. How about a spoiler tag next time? ).




*Our 25th anniversary is coming up in a couple of years and I've been saying Alaska needs to be our destination. Now that you're there, would you recommend this time of year to go?

No he wasn’t, Mathieu, Ed Reed, Earl Thomas, and Sean Taylor all were on Berry’s level and played within 6-7 years of him. He may have been a once in a quarter century player for us, but there’s been plenty of Eric Berrys over the last 20 years

There have not been plenty of Eric Berrys. While all of those guys, and some you didn’t name that are in the same league, were special in their own ways, none of those guys were as good as berry in college. Berry was the complete package. And cancer and a torn Achilles robbed him of whatever nfl career he was capable of, so we’ll never know if those guys would have been comparable at that level.

To me Eric berry was if you took the best of Ed reed (coverage skills) and Sean taylor (physicality) and combined them. We’ll know what he was as far as “once in a ____” when we see the next player comparable to him. So far there hasn’t been one in my opinion, so he’s at least a once every 15 years type of player and counting.

I would not die in this hill if I were you. Simply awful take.

Or maybe our coaches are trying to handle it behind the scenes since they have not done anything public. But of course in this social media world it’s going to be aired out by someone. Does not make it true. But the social media world definitely makes it way more difficult to handle any issue behind the scenes.

I trust CJH and staff to handle it. I also trust AD DW and staff to handle their part of this or any other situation.

I must preferred the behind the scenes approach that was possible in the past.

Social media is the devil!

 

[Adam Sandler]

So VolNation twitter/x was great for schianogate?

Now it’s an out of control rabid animal that needs to be put down?

Since this site is my only social media platform, I have no information about the above.

Schianogate is the exception and it was a miracle. Social media causes problems more often than miracles.

The third picture looks nothing like your avatar. How do we know these are real and not AI generated?

Milton didn’t run out of bounds. He was knocked out of bounds. And he also seems like a great kid.

I don’t know Tebow, but the constant throwing religion in people’s faces doesn’t make him a good person.

Yes. Mid to Late July is prime. Good for whale watching and better chance of favorable weather. We were fortunate and never got rained on once, which is unusual. We even had two days of mostly sunny weather. I was joking with some of our tour guides that there claim of living in a rain forest sounded made up since the weather was great. This is also the time of year for the salmon runs...also amazing. If you zoom in on this pic you will notice it is several hundred salmon. They were just hanging out. I think they were resting for their next push up the river to their spawning site.
