Here are some pics that should convince you that's it's best to go to OSU:

A sunny day last year at Reser Stadium with my daughter (OSU t-shirt, me in orange), back when they were winning like they will again next season:

Go Beavers! Fish on! Football will improve again.

Note: I felt like doing this because I couldn't attend this Dad's Weekend at OSU with my daughter and friends this year; so posted some pics for them to download and see down in Corvallis. Thanks for indulging. - Steve (RT)

RT,
Hey, I talked to those boys and they said the only reason they LET you win the chuggin` contest was becasue you were buying the beer.
By the way, I noticed it was "lite" beer..

Oh well, any port in a storm, ay?

Those OSU girls breed good too! But how do you keep your kids off the river and in the library studying? http://netbyte.net/steelheadman/pages/Fishing%20005_jpg.htm

Go Cougars!! Beat Stanford!!!

I'm kinda shocked RT, never woulda guessed you could spawn a little hottie!!

Looks like you had a blast down there.

Hey, I'm not spawned out or anything - but in the case above it was hugs only. Besides, too many younger brighter bucks around anyway. Oh ya, and I'm married too.

But hey, part of the point is that they have an actual salmon/steelhead fishing club which meets on campus. Cool.

Edit: I just got what you meant. You were talking about my daughter. Thanks - I guess? She is a nice girl. HANDS OFF! ...

Two possible responses could have resulted based on looking at the above pics. One from the frat guys perspective, the other from the sorority gals perspective.

Frat guys- "Hey who's the old dude drinking all our beer and honin in on OUR chicks?"

Gals- "Hey who's dad is that old guy who kicked Biff's and Carson's ass drinking beer..Well, Like he's kinda cute...for an old guy. Lets get a picture with him!

You Rock RT!!!!

Hey RT, those are the only 5 OSU girls I've seen that have all there teeth, not much of a reason to head south, or is it?

Was enough reason for me!

I like Beavers!!!
AKkings, Believe me there are ore than just 5 girls running around there. A few years ago I was a sub contractor for TCI cable. We were doing a complete cable rebuild in Corvallis. We spent a lot of time working on campus. We eve got to go where few men have ever gone, The Soroities!!! For some reason one day jobs turned into
3 day jobs

RT,
Last time I went back to WAZZU for a non-football weekend it was to my old frat's 50th aniversary on campus in March. After the dinner and sleazing about the bars on campus (and I have fuzzy recollections of riding to Moscow) I lost he rest my like-age former frat buddies. Found myself at 3:00 AM in one of the rooms doing the exact same thing you are pictured doing above, chugging suds with the young bucks. Got the feeling I was more of a spectacle than anything else. Especially when one of the boys came up and told me I was OK for an old guy. I don't feel that old...but looking at a 34 year old through the eyes of a 20 year old...think I'll self impose a curfew next time and retire at 10:00 with the rest of the balding, pudgy, scotch drinkers. Dangitt, I never did get in on the sorority pictures!!!

RT,
There's no doubt she's adopted.. As for the true question, has she caught fish and if so, I've got her ring for her right here!! You're not invited with me again unless you promise to bring her. :p
I wish I had a dad as cool as you!
Keith

Wow Orygun girls huh?

God I love Beavers

Steve,

I didn't get a chance to say it before, but nice pics. That's your daughter? There is a reason some of us like it down here. You're welcome back down anytime. See ya.

BH, I'll be back for next year's event - if not sooner. ...

And Keith, I might bring my daughter out fishing with us if you bring your sister. ... Just kidding!

RT,
My sister, yep new that was coming.. You tell your daughter if she wants to catch fish, she needs to learn it DAWGY style.. WA, home of the best school in the world, at least the best mascot... I'll stop there, and leave the Beaver thing alone.. hehe
Keith

Dosewallips Salmon & Trout Ranch is now offering fishing internships! We don't discriminate between gorgeous northerners or southerners! Equal opportunity rules. RT your post makes me feel young again!
Gooose

Me too Gooose. No doubt I have been deeply entrenched in my 'second childhood' for a while now. And I plan on stayin there for as long as I can. ...

Careful there Keith. Actually it would be cool to have a great fisher for a son-in-law. Just as long as you promise not to have intimate relations - before AND after you're married.

Sorry RT, I'd been waiting for the day to get back at ya. Ya know the sister thing. We'll leave it at that!
Keith

Thats Keith always talkin smack!!! Whats up brother man? Thought I'd drop you a line.... Going fishing tommorrow.....U? Talk at you later Chris.........

Hey RT !!!
Tell the truth. You were the only guy still standing & the girls were wanting to party down! Age & treachery will overcome youth & skill every time. :p Last time I went to an Or. campus (25 yrs ago) my buddies & I were MIA for 5 days.

Your spot in STS is one of the first I read. Wish it was monthly.

I hear it's been hot on the Skagit between Rockport & Marblemount. Gonna try it in the a.m. before work,see if I can find a good bug
pattern. Any suggestions for fall runs?

Later , Jeff

Hey Jeff, no doubt about the fun - don't want it to end; until it ends you. But like you said, us veterans can usually outlast the rookies.

Thanks for the STS comments. ... I hope the Kid reads your post as he should know what's happening in your area if you haven't been out for a while. ... As for the salmon action elsewhere, I think that it's gonna break loose all over the NW with the rains seemingly finally nudging into a fall pattern. I hope so! Take care.

RT

Hey steve how old is your little girl
Cuz you know she is a hottie.
Dances out

Hey Dougie Jr., don't you already have a nice girlfriend? I saw her pic and she's a hottie. ... As for my daughter, she's in college - that narrows it down to ... well, you know.

hey Steve
I had a Girlfriend but not anymore and besides you daughter is look'n HOTT!!
Might have to show her how the DOGGS do it in the northwest. fishing that is
Dances out

To say it politely, RT, you're daughter is VERY good looking. Please, feel free to post MORE pics of her in the future.

Just one thought though...

Finally came out of the closet, eh? J/K.
