Red "Sockeye" Salmon down on the Klutina River. The last photo was a nice 8 pounder. the first photo was my first of the year and i was pretty stoked! As you can tell, it was friggin' chilly! After this, drove down to Valdez and slayed Halibut, Rockfish, yellow-eye and about everything else. Freezer is getting there! Probably heading down the the Gulkana and/or Klutina for King "Chinook" Salmon this weekend. I will let you all know.

Are 5 French thugs equivalent to 5 American thugs? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

Yeah, I'm curious... How big is Van Zyl's parents' house? And what were his middle school cross country times? This stuff matters.

I will be there! Last time i went, we called IU and asked for tickets but that didn't work. I ended up phoning the center there in Maui and secured them that way. The ticket packages they offer didn't work for us because we were staying elsewhere and traveling from here in AK so we had to go that route. I will keep you posted on how we end up getting ours.

Truth. Although Luke Brown isn’t Austin Boucher or even Bobby Boucher. He’s a talented player. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

And can he take 5 international thugs at once?!? I need to know this

Knicks will do it

Just finished “Almost a Miracle” by Ferling. It’s a very good overview of the revolutionary war. Remarkable how tenuous that war was at times. Cornwallis is without a doubt one of the greatest disappointments in British Military history. Fun fact the battle of the capes where the French Navy defeated the British to strand Cornwallis at Yorktown was the last time the French defeated the British in a major Naval engagement. Literally the last time.

whoa, whoa, whoa! I leave to go fishing and everyone goes all Game of Thrones on here ready to behead my beautifulness. I'm back (until the next salmon run) so Aloha.....suck it!

Oui.

Tour de Four.

USA wins! We play the winner of Sweden/Netherlands on Sunday in the final.

Great callback! If anything, Luke Brown is the new Austin Boucher. The highly involved family member pretending to be an interested community member and all the weirdness that comes with that.

I agree. My question was more of a "tongue in cheek" question Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

The international Austin Boucher?

Here’s the deboer picture Sampson is in the red cutoff middle.

I actually think those 4 will be happy including Ivory winters will have a big role as well. I will just list the players and what I see from them all.....because I truly believe that most of them will see the field plenty during the games.....touches idk how many...but to some people’s thoughts yes it will be hard to keep everyone happy, but if you look at great teams in today’s game....for example OSU and Georgia (I’m choosing them because they’ve been doing it for awhile and I think more and more teams have adopted a running back by committee type playbook and it’s not just 1 Star and the other 2-3 are blah players, these teams have legit 2-4 stars in their back field). Almost every team has a RB who can motion out to slot and for me that will be gest or even winters (need to see if he can catch first, because I’m not sure on that point), but anyways deboer will rotate and play as many guys just like his tight ends. We will see multiple back formations if he stays true to who he is as a coach. Now to the players in now particular order. Stevie Scott- I believe he will be starter come season and most of the season, offers power with deceptive speed and plays with great Patience...we all saw that develop relatively fast during his freshman season....he will lose touches, but I expect him to still put up great stats, will probably get most touches around the goal line if I put money on it. Sampson James- to start off being an Avon alum, I wish and hope nothing but the best for him and knowing what his family life is....on to the season outlook, he’s rehabbed nicely from his knee surgery this off season, just had to do some repair to a bone I believe, if I remember correctly (hurt it mid season last year....reason why stats were dropped off). If you look at what he’s done since enrolling early, adding almost 30lbs of good weight up to 220 and btw his upper body looks like a body builders peep coach deboers pool party pic. I think he plays in 4 games and it will be interesting to see if they hold him to that and RS given our depth, technically you could play him in 4 and then rest and then throw ivory in 4. He is very similar to Stevie in the aspect to size and speed, he might have Stevie beat when it comes to his lateral moves or Xbox juke moves, not afraid of contact. Overall, he is what he was advertised as coming into his senior year before injury hurt his stats. Cole Gest- first off I’m glad he’s healthy and I hope he can stay healthy. His upside is he is lighting fast and can catch the ball out of the backfield or from a wide position. Only thing he needs to work on is waiting for the hole to be there and then turn the jets on, he hasn’t been able to really work on that when it comes to actual playing time, potential is there, he just needs to stay healthy. Overall if healthy he will have a productive season and my prediction is he provides multiple big play or explosive plays of over 20+ yds for us. Ivory Winters- huge dark horse in my eyes. Played in a small division in Missouri and dominated. Not only in football, he dominated in track as well. The kid ran for almost 3000 yards and had 59 TDS as a senior.....he’s also got size but is breakaway fast. That’s why I believe he will be a dark horse entering the season and might even for arguments sake and topic sake, crack top 2 or 3 in depth chart. I’m not sure on his catching ability, but if it matches his overall athleticism then let’s go, also I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s retiring kicks or punts by end of the season, let alone the start of it. Ronnie Walker- kid showed us glimpses of why he was a 4* kid. Besides his youth and some decision making he knew when to hit holes and when to cutback, and showed he is shifty and fast. From my understanding is he had a hard time with the playbook and just overall adjusting to the speed of the college game which is understandable. I look forward to seeing him take a step forward in development and becoming what we all saw from his senior film. gosh darn are we deep with depth and talent at RB. Not to mention everyone is so young. That goes for a lot of positions on this team as well another sleeper on offense is David Ellis, he will play everywhere and anywhere in this offense his explosiveness is already being demonstrated in the weight room....ivory winters and him could make for a very very dangerous return game

Next up: "Lakers find their third star, sign Austin Van Zyl to a max offer'.

is that a school or just to be a tourist?

He's only a real person if you wish hard enough!

https://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/depth-chart/indiana/90728 I'm sure this will change and get updated as needed. I would also imagine a lot of the younger guys will be fighting for 2 and 3 spots. And some of them actually getting a lot of playing time. Because we all know injuries happen. They're a young bunch. I hope CTA can get some quality wins and have them playing in December or January.

At first after watching them during the summer of their sophomore year I always thought it would be one or the other as well. I’ve flipped back and forth since then which one I thought would be a better fit. For me it’s clear as they have gotten older that they have great chemistry on the court and don’t necessarily occupy the same space. Both have good size and each could play on the wing if asked. Now I think IU should take both and should feel good about the type of players they would be getting. I don’t feel these 2 have anything to do with if IU gets Davis. Got to get Davis or Steward on campus before I consider them an actual possibility. Davis leaving Georgetown without committing is a good sign but I feel IU is behind Marquette and Georgetown right now. Like you said recruiting isn’t easy. If Archie offered Leal after his sophomore year none of these other teams would of had a chance to build a relationship with him. However some would criticize him for offering early and taking a commitment that soon. Fast forward to the present where he didn’t offer early and he is getting criticized for not locking a local kid down early. lol. As a fan I love recruiting and all the twist and turns and stories but if I was a coach I think I would hate it Leal, Galloway, Cross and one more and call it a day and focus on 2021. Each team averages 2.4 transfers a year and I don’t expect IU to be any different with that number next year so taking 4 will put IU at 13 before that so I would expect to be at 11 even with taking 4 National writers, scouts and others have a little different view of our recruiting results then some of the fans do. I’ve seen articles saying IU didn’t need a whole lot in the 2020 class thanks to its prior classes. However it turns out can’t wait to watch it unfold and then move on to 2021 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

I know Zach and I can guarantee you he is not doing this to carry the Universities bell or help them. I think he is just presenting facts and then everyone can draw their own conclusions. To some it will help IU's case and to some it won't and make them look just as bad like you think. Its up to you to decide. I will not defend what University is doing and mostly against it, but I will defend Osterman to the death and know for a fact he did this with well researched facts and giving perspective for people to understand.

His contract with the Knicks became fully guaranteed today.
