Also a big LB/DE from Okie Light is in the portal. Freshman All-American.

Josh Hoover QB from TCU in the portal. IU looks to be the leader for him early

I keep seeing clips where the experts think we take a QB in the portal to push KJ.

Hoover is an interesting convo. Appears to be the replacement for Mendoza at the moment though. Don't think he would come here to fight for a job.

I've been running Recon Grapplers on my Tundra. After some cheap mud tires previously, they have been heavenly!!!!
I haven't been rotating them enough and the fronts are wearing faster but that's my fault not the tire.

The are no instances of accidental discharges with the P365 that was not user error.

Period.

It was a 320 not a 365 as I clarified in the above post.

I take back what I said about the 365.

"Everybody gets a trophy" culture has polluted true competition. Life was simpler when people could acknowledge that in life you win our you lose.

Scary how folks parent their kids these days...... Follow your dream, even if you suck at it.

NOPE.... enough time has passed that we should be better than that AT LEAST when it comes to determining a champion.
The eye test should matter more than it does.
Congrats to Tulane on a great season... but Ole Miss has already beaten the brakes off of you once.....

JMU.... tremendous season... deserving of a great bowl... but you ain't a playoff team dawg....

I’m no expert on this stuff, but I carry a Sig P365 XL. My 78 year old dad carries three pistols. I guess after Vietnam he believes in an overwhelming amount of firepower. One of those pistols fits in his front pocket which terrifies me because I don’t want it to discharging in my pocket and blow my junk off. At my father’s request he told me buy a P365. I went to the gun store to buy a P365 and they were out so I bought the XL. Figured 2 extra rounds in the magazine isn’t a bad thing. No complaints. It shoots.

I would say excercise an extreme amount of trigger discipline.
I wouldn't be caught near one after what I witnessed.

There are very few instances with the P365 and I think every one was due to user error.

You weren't on the range with me when I witnessed it. Sorry I hurt your Sig feelings but it happened. self-inflicted wound holstering the weapon and his finger was not near the trigger.

So don't tell me what I saw or didn't see.

Shooters will usually shoot themselves out of it in a game or two.

I'm not worried about Thomas yet. Got a feeling he will show up big against Houston.

Theoretically the iron sights and dot should line up if you are using the iron sights for your sight picture.

I would be worried that I would start to rely too much on the dot.
I'm about to get a couple of my dad's pistols as he's getting older and doesn't want as many weapons in the house. I think he has a red dot on his M&P Shield so I may try and put some rounds down range and see how it feels.
Last time I used a dot on a pistol if felt odd to me.
Love it on an AR type gun though.

re: What are the best local sporting goods (e.g., Simmons, Nichols) stores in Louisiana?

Simmons is probably the best in Arkansas, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Yes, I am aware of Mack's in Stuttgart, but compare the deer hunting and optics and it's not even close.

I agree. Mack's is more touristy and geared a lot more towards duck hunting... which is fine and that's the allure of that area.

I prefer Simmons and will drive an hour to shop there in a heartbeat. Good folks and a great selection of whatever you are looking for.

Honey Hole in Monroe is good also and will stop in if I happen to be in Monroe but typically won't make a special trip to shop there.

I’ve told my wife for years if I win the powerball, I’m buying Togo.

Most of my hunting career I've watched the Primos guys. One of the best shows out there and the guys that have been with them through the years seem like genuine good guys that are a lot like us except they got the chance to do that for a living.

I don't know any of them personally but I do have a couple of friends in the industry and used to work on the fringe of it a long time ago. Always heard the Primos guys, especially Will and Jimmy were solid people. Heard the same for Brad and Kenneth.

And a lot of that is coming from a guy not affiliated with them.

The first time they went to Swamp Donkey it seemed to be a lot different than most of what they did. Felt kinda' off.
Anxious to see how it plays out.
