I do not invite my wife to any work functions. She doesn't want to go, I don't want her to go, problem solved.

That's how you do it. When I was in college, I spent a summer working for a professional hunting guide near Denali. We had a very friendly fox nearby with pups (his name was Fat Boy; we never saw the female). In the afternoons I would walk in the woods with Fat Boy about twenty feet behind me and hunt red squirrels with a .22 short. He'd grab the squirrel, run it back to his den, and then come back to me and sit down, waiting for the next move. Pretty cool.

I have a Gamo with a scope on that. I live on a 1.5 acre wooded lot and squirrels have been chewing on my house. I have killed probably 25 squirrels in the past month with it. It is pretty awesome being able to tattoo a squirrel that's 60 feet up in a tree with an air rifle.

Alabama Football - Now Featuring Kalen DeBoer
I agree and the larger playoff format will keep us relevant. But it won't be the same and I'm not sure the local proletariat will be able to handle it.

That looks like a ramp to make sure the charging handle doesn't get caught on anything accidentally. Brush, rope, whatever, will be pushed up and over.

They tried but there's just not that kind of money compared to a lot of places. Alabama's place in the sun is over.

Alabama Football - Now Featuring Kalen DeBoer
I have not heard anything about the support staff. DeBoer tried to hire Downs' position coach as the DC but he declined and went to UGA. Like I said, Bond is very very good. He was my favorite WR this year by far. I don't think WRs matter that much if Milroe is the QB because he is so limited as a passer. Again, anybody who thought Saban would retire but that everything would still be fine at Alabama is an idiot. I think all this attrition is totally understandable and getting upset is stupid. Being a WR for Milroe is like the old joke about Helen Keller's dog running away

Sayin makes sense to me. There are better coaches out there and unless DeBoer has the guts to walk into the QB room and say "Milroe thanks for the memories but you're out and Sayin you're the man now" (which would probably lose him every decent player on the team) then Sayin can enter the portal and sky's the limit. I get it. Downs is a huge loss. He was among the best freshmen I've ever seen at Alabama. Bond is very good but I don't think his loss is that big.

How is he acting like anything? I have heard him talk one time and I live in Birmingham. I think he's just trying to put together a staff, retain as many players as possible, and retain as many recruits as possible.

DeBoer is a good coach and we will be lucky to have him. It could have been a disaster. But things will never be the same. And that's okay. FYI people are genuinely losing their minds down here about the portal departures. It's crazy.

Alabama Football - Now Featuring Kalen DeBoer
I don't understand why everybody is upset. There is no "good time" to lose the best coach of all time. His leaving obviously has negative consequences for retention and recruiting. Furthermore, these kids went to Alabama mainly to play for and be developed by Saban. Once he left how can you possibly be upset at the player for making decisions in his own best interest? And by the way acting like a douche who is owed loyalty by students from all over the country will not be helpful for recruiting in the long run. Wish them well, thank them for their effort and loyalty, and go recruit your ass off and then kick off late August and let's play the fucking game.

As a lifelong Bama fan I have no problem with Bond leaving. He's a good one and I was fond of him and I wish him the best.

In other news, I've posted here about trying to find a decent left-handed rifle for my son's first deer gun. I finally found one in time for xmas, when a dealer friend sold me this rifle in 7-08 and a Leupold scope for cost, bore sighted it, and threw in the rings for free. Smoking deal. https://christensenarms.com/mesa/ I really like this rifle. Took it to the range and it was sub-MOA out of the box. I see where Christensen quality is a little inconsistent, but this action and trigger are great. I think this will be a life-time gun for the guy.

Regarding the one rifle approach we were discussing before the NRA news broke, .30-06 or .270 would be good for everything you want to do. I like the .270 because of its trajectory and terminal ballistics.

That's simply not true, even if it's the conventional wisdom. NRA won Bruen. NRA and its state affiliates have their fingerprints on range, shooting, and hunting issues all over the country. And even with its current problems and mismanagement, the NRA is still the only organization that moves the needle at the federal legislative level. Other orgs have definitely caught up/surpassed NRA on litigation but one of the main reasons is that they are using old NRA lawyers so it's a continuation of the NRA strategy to some degree.
