Had some of this the other day and was surprised by how smooth it is.  Very reasonably priced too.

 

As a new resident in Colorado, I bought a bottle of this last week.  It's almost gone.  I'll keep a bottle around going forward.  I was gifted a bottle of Angel's Envy and it's really good too.  I was branching into scotch more than bourbon, but after trying these, bourbon might be the go-to.  I do keep good to great scotch in a decanter, either for guests, or with a cigar.  Currently have Chivas Regal Extra Scotch Whisky in there now, and really like it.  I think someone mentioned Glenmorangie earlier.  I keep the 10 year Original on hand for guests who might not have a palate for scotch.  It's cheapish, and there's almost no bite.  It's not very flavorful, for my taste, but that's what you get if you want something cheap without the burn.  

I have bottles of Crown Royal Rye, 7 Leguas Tequila, Casamigos Tequila, Santa Teresa Rum and Brinley Gold Rum that I haven't tasted yet.  

Interested in the news to follow.  Read there were multiple suspects taken into custody, including one that was hospitalized after bystanders attacked him.

Ha!  One of the annoying things is the morons that grab the wrong helmet, get hit, buzzer goes off and now the trainer is looking for the kid who is SUPPOSED to be in that helmet instead of the guy actually wearing it.

Man, that could make for a long day.

Basically if you drop your helmet on the backside of it...the trainer will get a "buzz"

Ha!  And I bet the players don't abuse this at all.

You're kidding right?

Most issues with concussions dont really show their issues until 20 years down the line.  Often times they can be small and not really be noticeable to you or others.  My last one was at 14, since about 35 I've been a sever migraine sufferer.  I have memory issues, and focus issues.   Creates a lot of frustration for me especially when I forget something that I have no idea how i could have forgotten it within a matter of minutes. It affects my job, and it scares me to know what life is going to be like 20 years from now.

There is plenty of information out there that show cause an effect of concussions.

 

No, you're right.  I guess I was more referring to individual cases, short term (i.e. a college career), not how this is going to effect JD when he's 50.  I have some of the aforementioned issues as well, but I don't consider them to be severe, just annoying, and don't know if they directly related to my concussions or not.  I don't have migraines anymore, but had really bad ones in the months following my concussions.  Sorry to hear about yours, and brogan's, issues.  A lot of us were really reckless as young men and it's starting to catch up to us.  Don't know if I'd do anything different though.

Yep...we use them now.  The trainer always gets so annoyed with them!

Ok, good.  That's what I thought they were, not just some fancy accessory. 

How many here have had a concussion?  I've had five that I know of.  No long term lingering effects, I'm 40, but they messed me up pretty good at the time.  

Most teams have helmets that have sensors in them right?  That's what the little button looking thing at the top of the helmets is for?  Obviously this doesn't prevent concussions, just lets a team trainer know if there's a possibility of one.  And I could be completely wrong about this.  

Strange stats.  Gave up 19 hits, struck out 16 times.  And won.  

Woohoo!!

Stand up!  One more!

DP!

3 outs away from a W!  8-5, bottom of the 9th.  I think Gomes is coming in to pitch.  

And 16 Ks by the Husker offense.  But winning 8-5.  Weird.  

Announcer just said every Husker has a hit today.  

Opening it up!  8-5!

Incredible effort from Schwellenbach. It would have been easy to just glove that and not risk throwing it away. What a hose!

 

Some karmic payback for that blown call at 1st on Palensky in the championship.

I thought for sure he'd pull up and hold onto it.  Awesome play.  A lot of awesome plays today.  

Great D again, 2 outs!

Lot of DWade/Gabrielle Union commercials.

Gomes with the D!

Great throw by Altavilla to get the 3rd out!  Stranded 2!

Haha, at the lone Husker fan behind home plate after that UConn K.  

Damn.

Altavilla up with bases loaded.  2 outs.

Thrown out stealing to end the inning.  

Awesome double play!
