Nah, Auburn isn't that bad, just over-rated. Vandy's playing good ball these days.

O.J. found guilty! Good. I thought at first he was going to 'stupid' out of that one too.

Something's fishy about Shamrock getting a mysterious cut just before the match. And Kimbo vs. Seth? Can someone please put up the 'FacePalm' picture for me? That was pathetic. It's hard to believe that the entire Elite XC organization is riding on Kimbo Slice. They really need to sign Tito Ortiz and a few other big names cause I don't think Kimbo can carry the torch alone, especially getting TKO'd in 14 seconds.

The trade hasn't really hurt the Sox so far but I have a funny feeling they might miss Manny's bat in the playoffs before its all said and done.

Game 1 = walk-a-thon Game 2 = ErrorFest

I was wondering about this too.

Are you sure you weren't just breaking out in a cold sweat about the game last night?

Once a huge bass throws your crankbait right at the boat with 15 minutes left to fish you'll change your mind about nets.

The Kistler Magnesiums leave a lot to be desired in my opinion. I bought a few when they first came out and ended up selling every one of them. I'd get the Cumara over the Magnesium for sure. Now if you had asked Kistler Helium LTA or Cumara, I'd say get the Helium LTA.

I hope the Sox play better than the Cubs did. 7-2 ? : Grand Slam off Dempster? :

The next Raiders beat down of the Chefs is Nov. 30th ;D

It's a good thing he's holding it out toward the camera! ;D

Please try to understand, I'm a Raiders fan and a Cowboys hater so I gotta get my shots in when I can. You're probably right. But I hope not. A Raiders fan???? No, please no! Not you!!!!!! I thought you and I had been cool............HELP!?!?!????? :-/ We cool. Except on game day.

It's time to reveal the next Bass Resource.com Elite Member for October 2008. This member has become a regular, positive contributor to the daily happenings here at BR, spending lots of his time in the Tackle Making section. He's been making some killer looking swimbaits lately and the paint jobs he can lay down are really slick. So let's give a big round of applause for the youngest Elite Member so far, dsaavedra General: Name: David A. Saavedra Age: 16 City/State: Mechanicsville, Maryland Occupation: Student Education: Junior year in highschool Yrs fishing: I have been fishing ever since I can remember. I think it was for my third birthday my parents got me a red Zebco spincasting combo. I used it so much the handle started to wear a hole in the side of the spool housing. My mom would take me bluegill fishing at the local park a few times during the summer, and my dad and I would go saltwater fishing in a friends boat a few times a year. It wasn't until October 23, 2005 that I caught my first bass, and i have been bass fishing very seriously ever since. Preferred style (describe a typical, quality day): A quality day for me would be fishing in a small, relatively shallow lake will all sorts of cover. Stumps/laydowns and sparse lily pads are probably my favorite types of cover to fish.My two weapons of choice: Rapala DT, *** 5" ***. Throwing the DT around the hard cover, and throwing the Trick Stick around the soft cover. Personal: Fav food: Hmmm...toughie...very tough...but you can never go wrong with a juicy, well-seasoned cheeseburger. Fav movie: This is very tough. I don't think I could narrow it down to just one. My top three are definitley Napoleon Dynamite, Pulp Fiction, and Borat. Fav quote: My favorite quote would be the lyrics to one of my favorite songs. This is a really intense song and draws a lot of emotion. Not many songs make me feel the way this one does. "Life it seems, will fade away Drifting further every day Getting lost within myself Nothing matters no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing more for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me Deathly lost, this can't be real Cannot stand this hell I feel Emptiness is filling me To the point of agony Growing darkness taking dawn I was me, but now he's gone No one but me can save myself, but it's too late Now I can't think, think why I should even try Yesterday seems as though it never existed Death Greets me warm, now i will just say goodbye" Fade to Black-Metallica Fishing: Fav bait: Rapala DT. The individual model will vary depending on what depth I'm fishing. the DT 03 has been one of my biggest producers this year. Fav set up (rod/reel): St. Croix Avid AC70MF paired with a Shimano Citica 100DSV spooled with 30lb moss gree Power Pro. Fav lake: My favorite lake would be the mid-sized, secluded, Jameson Lake. Only people who live in the neighboorhood surrounding it are supposed to have access, and I get access to the lake because my aunt lives in that neighboorhood. The lake is mid-sized, mid-depth, and has lots of good lily pads and laydowns. Fav hobbies other than fishing: Lure making (swimbaits in particular), building things, destroying things , wood burning, drawing (only if it is of things I like, like bass ), listening to music, spending time around water. 10 People you respect and/or admire: My father My mother Paul Noles Sam Rosenthal Brent Bollinger Kirk Hammett James Hetfield Cliff Burton Theodore Roosevelt Myself (self respect is important ) Turn ons: Good fishin', good music, good food, solving problems, being constructive. Turn offs: Overrated stuff, conformists, fads, and people who just don't know what they are talking about but will argue to their death about it. Aspirations: I just want to be successful. I really dont want much. I just want to get a college degree, a nice career, get a house, and just be well off. I definitley DO NOT want to be a pro fisherman, I really dislike tournament fishing. I will only ever fish for recreation. Essay: Fishing is probably the biggest factor that has affected my life. There is nothing I'd rather do than fish. Education is another big factor. I've always done very well in school, and my parents push me to do the best I can possibly do. It has paid off, I excell in all of my classes. Sometimes school isn't challenging enough and its extremely boring. Thinking about fishing gets me through the days . Music is definitley a major factor and influence in my life. I don't know where I would be without it. As most of you know, Metallica is my favorite band ever. Their music is just so good, and it carries a lot of meaning with it. I'm really not into their music for the thrash (although there's nothing wrong with that ), I'm in it for the meanings and messages. They are musical geniuses and their work reflects that. Their songs pack a lot of emotion and influence, and I really enjoy listening to the music and deciphering the songs' meanings. Ahhh....I digress... I really don't have many influence. I tend to stick to my own values and I don't let ANYONE change that. In the words of Metallica "Life is for my own to live my own way". I just live life my own way and make the decisions that seem right to ME. I am my greatest influence. I'm really not into sappy stuff, but in closing, I'd just like to thank all the guys that run Bass Resource for making it such a wonderful site, all the advertisers that keep this place running, and all the people on here for being helpful and supportive! This is probably the happiest you will ever see me. Me at age 13 with my very first bass. No fishing day will ever live up to that one. Congratulations Dave!

No spinning here, I know what he meant. The last few years with T.O. muzzled in Dallas has been a true blessing. Really. I dont know who it was that managed to convince T.O. to keep that mouth shut but I'd like to send 'em a Thank You card.

I'm glad somebody finally said it

Did any of you see T.O. at the post game press conference and hear what he had to say? He basically said in vintage T.O. fashion "when I get the ball, the chains keep moving, when I don't get the ball, the chains don't move". I wonder what his team mates think about that?

Orton to Hester TOUCHDOWN!!!

Please try to understand, I'm a Raiders fan and a Cowboys hater so I gotta get my shots in when I can. You're probably right. But I hope not.

GO BEARS!!!

I'm so glad the Redskins won in Dallas today. I won't have to hear about the Cowboys for at least 4 more days at work.

How 'bout them Chargers five.bass? ;D What about 'em? They were supposed to beat the Raiders just like everybody else is. Denver should have never lost to a winless, poorly coached, beaten up KC team that got beat by the Raiders 2 weeks ago.

....on a BRAND NEW reel that hasn't even been spooled yet? No way I'd send it off for warranty repair.

Definitely no defense to be found and not much in the way of offense today either. Cool with me.

Yeah Burley, you're good.
