Sorry if this excited anyone LOL but christophero said he was hoping to see this thread when he got back from a hike.. I didn’t want him to be disappointed! 🤣

 

[johnl1219]

I have to say, I did flinch a little in excitement, then saw the laughing emoji.

You definitely got me.

 

[QC Dukie]

Well the word is that Grandison is leaning towards Duke. lol. That’s for Chris and Jimbo 🤪🤪🤪

You’re going to Chris off a cliff saying that

 

[Fourteen44]

Grandison could announce and a couple peeps here would say “he doesn’t know what he’s talking about”. 😂

 

[christophero]

Ok this made me laugh.

Oh lord ...Hopefully that inside information isn't coming from one of your sources! Lol.

 

[christophero]

Ramey to Arizona.

 

[Fourteen44]

Ramey to Arizona.

Nonsense. Your sources are incorrect 😂

 

[christophero]

I used that shady CBS Sports source.

 

[geddoughton23]

I feared that christophero was attacked on the trail by a cougar

 

[christophero]

In Washington state, it's either a Cougar, a Husky or a Bulldog.

Nah this was Chris the last time that happened..

Colorado man who killed attacking mountain lion with bare hands recalls the 'wrestling match'

"There was a certain point where I just kind of imagined being stuck on this hillside and just having a cat gnaw at me," the runner said.

Went hiking yesterday near Gatlinburg. A dude swore he saw a bear but I think it may have been a hallucination based on the odor emitted from his area. Did see an elk though. Awesome

 

[christophero]

That must have been unbearable.

You must of been near Abram's Creek in the Great Smoky Mtn. National Park. I grew up 50 miles West of Asheville. Plenty of wild boar and it wasn't unusual to see a black bear now and again near the house. Beautiful area and I intend to go back some day. I really miss my trout fishing.

Where’d you grow up? Around Bryson City?

 

[9dukejames]

Close. Sylva.

No it was a couple of miles from Gatlinburg pretty sure ha ha.

 

[pisgah101]

Lol I meant with such a smell coulda been the hippies if the wind was blowing right

 

[KDSTONE]

I gotcha. I thought you meant elk were limited to that one area. Asheville was prob his next stop

 

[geddoughton23]

That was an odd story about the man who killed the cougar with his bare hands. It was a juvenile cougar, only 50 pounds.

95% of mountain lion attacks upon humans are against women. They will threaten men, but very rarely attack men

 

[christophero]

Double post

 

[christophero]

I agree. You have the right to defend yourself, but at some point the cougar would have run away. If I had to kill a cougar I wouldn't be smiling about it.

 

[christophero]

Sorry my phone is crazy and triple posted.

 

[geddoughton23]

It's a good way to emphasize your point

 

[dukecorey]

Duke got Grandison, awesome pickup

 

[christophero]

Woo hoo!
Great get. Good job Jon

 

[geddoughton23]

Congratulations ! Grandison is exactly what you search for in a transfer. He has 5 years of college experience. He is still only a decent athlete, but he's stronger and faster than he was a few years ago.

He's an excellent shooter with good size. He can play multiple positions. He improved every year. He played a lot of minutes for an excellent Illinois team.

Just need that age and shooting from him!

I agree, nothing to smile about but I was attacked by a stray once. He got my hand and wouldn’t let go. One of my fingers got infected, required surgery. I can only imagine what being attacked by a 50 lb cougar would be like. So in that moment I don’t know if I’d be capable of rational thoughts

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

As an Illini fan, you’ll love Grandison! We’ll miss him, but I totally get why he moved on, and I’ll definitely be rooting for him. Awesome team player and glue guy.

I know what being attacked by a 50 pound cat would be like. It would be hell!. The man had to finish the job. Something was wrong with the cat. He would have taken three breaths and come back for more

Glad Duke got Grandison. Seems to be a complete team. Not read the cougar story but I would think something would already be wrong with the cat. At 50 pounds, it might find it difficult to kill a healthy man but Jesus it would be more than capable of clawing and biting the absolute hell out of you.

ged thanks, we needed another shooter. I know Whitehead can knock it down from outside, but you always need a 2nd sniper. Case in point is how you guys shut down Griffin in our last two meetings. We really had no other REAL OUTSIDE THREAT. This is a nice pick-up..

OFC

@geddoughton23 you need a pet cougar like Karen from talladega nights

Yea that’s not a “I’m gonna die” but a “this is gonna suck”.

good rundown
