Whats with all the sports talk? There has to be a better place to argue about Huskies and Cougs? Or at least argue about teams that are named after fish. <img border="0" alt="[wall]" title="" src="graemlins/wall.gif" />

It's easy to avoid the threads that aren't about fishing. Besides, only pinko-communists don't like college football.

Only comes up a few times a year...besides two of the best things in the world are combined...Northwest Fishing (damn I miss it!!!) and the Apple Cup. Just some good healthy ribbing between folks who (usually except Apple Cup time) get along.

Count me as one "pinko commie" then...
See your pinko commie right here... yes sir, step right up... check him out!

JTD, add me to that list...

who needs college football anyway?? pro football is lame enough as it is, whats the point to watch amatuers try and play??

but then maybe some of you SHOULD stay home and choke your chode on sunday afternoon watching the "big game"...makes it easier for me to find a parking spot at the ramp

I guess count me in to that group. I dont hate colledge ball, but I definately wont be missing a day of fishing to watch the game. I may however put on a set of headphones but more than likely not. I'll let my girlfriend tell me about it when I get home.

Neurosis -

One of the many things that distinguishes this board from the others is that here we are allowed to share common interests with the entire community, within reason...something I've missed during my absence....

There have been some awesome NFR (not fishing related) threads...some with good discussions and some with...well we've all forgotten those haven't we?

Call me when it's over. This thread is a waste of time....
A sport thread now and then is good for the soul!

only one sport.. thats sportfishing

Honestly I didnt expect one response to this thread. It was just an observation after reading that other heated thread. I mean name calling? Cursing. Whats the world coming to. I agree that a bit of sports talk is good for the soul but hopefully these people dont meet on the river some day and try to drown each other.

Mr. Mojo just to let you know, you are in fine company. We will pillage and plunder mother nature while "THEY" watch tv. Hah!

Sthdh20- I agree... this is just some friendly banter stemming from boring desk job!

Over...
Pinko out!

Geez, I don't remember the last time I wasn't able to spank numerous fish AND make it back in time to watch the AC.

But, I'm a Husky, and I realize that Cougs might have difficulty pulling it off.

Bob, how about a new section for non fishing related topics? That way the 'pinko commies' can have their section and the 'sportaholics' can have theirs?

Fishing or TV ??? Hmmm ?? Not too hard of a choice here. My "Honey-do Scroll" is 3 miles long (at any given time). I thank the Man Upstairs for the invention of the VCR.

Downriggin'

You guys are starting to sound like Ifish...

I cant believe I'm even posting to this...

Hey Bob, How bout a graemlin that is shooting himself in the head...

No new sections...that's the problem with other boards...scroll through 15 sections to find a thread..it's like being on an elevator.
Heck, if I don't like the sound of the thread,
I don't read it.
This is organized well enough!
Thanks to Bob!

Bob himself likes to brag about his Oregon sports teams [not much to brag about though] so N[not] F[fishing] R[related] topics will still be found. If you don't like it don't read it. It's a simple concept.

Neurosis,

It's called being human. True, I'm here for the fishing and fishing related discussions. But I've known a few hardcore steelheaders who are so one dimensional that they can't carry on a conversation about anything else. I'm not saying that's bad, but it is so . . . well, . . . one dimensional; not very human.

I don't care much for the trash talk, but some friendly banter between mascot rivals adds another dimension to our lives. As JG and others posted, if you don't like the title of a thread, you don't have to read it. Sort of reminds me of the censorship advocates. It isn't good enough to steer clear of that which they dislike; they have to try to control what's available to others.

The threads on this board are overwhelmingly fishing related. If I click on one that is outside my range of interest, I'm only a click away from getting away from it. Bob's web site has evolved into the best discussion board for northwest fishing. I'm not gonna' get uptight over some dogs and cats growlin' and hissin'.

Nonetheless, I appreciate the reminder. Guess I'll stick a tape in the VCR, as rivers look to be dropping back into shape for tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.

That's the beavs taking hold of those ducks.
Bob's a little fickle from time to time.
Rasheed is supposed to do a children's community thing today...Wonder how he explains his arrest last night with his friend
Damon.
OOOOPS...another sport topic...
