A "Fish" Story

Me, my dad and his friend with a house on the lake were in a 14 ft aluminum boat. We would pull up into a cove and the guy that lived there would cast for bass while dad and me dropped lines over the side for catfish. Hooked what I thought was at least a 25 pound cat. Turns out it was a snapping turtle. The guy that lived there insisted on bringing into the boat, said he was going to make turtle soup. I remember the thing being at least 2 ft across. It got loose and commenced to hissing, snapping and chasing us around this suddenly tiny boat. Dad had a .22 in his tackle box for snakes and the other guy pulls out this big old bowie knife. Both of 'em missed the hell out of the turtle from less than 3 ft, sometimes closer. Screaming and hollering like little girls we were. I can't remember how, but I guess we finally managed to get far enough out it's way so it could climb back over the side and into to water. Turtle-1, Tool Wielding Humans-0.

True story. I was 14 years old back in 1974. I'll soon turn 51 and have yet to taste turtle soup. I learned 2 things:

1. Never shoot a firearm into the bottom of a boat.

2. I guess sometimes the turtle eats you (well almost).

Saw Cooter in the thread title and couldn't resist.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
