*** Georgia at South Carolina: Poll & Game Thread

[ugabrad]

Just back from vacation. I did get a motel room on Saturday and watched that beast down... the Gamecocks are for real this year. I think that y'all have a good shot at an SEC title this time around. Congratulations on a well deserved win.

To all my fellow Dawg fans: remember, Spurrier can't coach forever...

I watched at a bar just outside Zion Nat'l Park. Game was awesome, but the Red Bull Rampage on Sunday was even better. Hope your trip went well otherwise-

Well, I didn't make it into Glacier Park after all... I screwed up and missed the weather window. I left home at 7AM on Sunday and drove to Whitefish that day. However, when I got to Whitefish I realized that I had left my debit card at the last gas stop in Kellogg, Idoho - 200 miles back. The next day was going to be the last nice day in Glacier for at least a week, so I reluctantly headed back to Idaho (the gas station had my card and I didn't want to be without it too long - for fear that they wouldn't have it if I waited too long). I stayed in Idaho the rest of that week, cycling the Coueur d'Alene and Lochsa valleys - but freezing every morning. I then drove up to Winthrop, Washington and the North Cascades - grabbing a room in Winthrop Saturday afternoon and camping the rest of the week in the national forest. Interestingly, it was much warmer in Washington - never getting below freezing and reaching the low seventies every day.

I'm glad that you had a good time, but the Red Bull Rampage isn't for me. I'm one of those old fogeys who believe that since bicycles have wheels and not wings they are meant to roll over the ground and not fly through the air. Yeah... I'm at odds with most of the young guys who work at our stores...

Haha fair enough- I ride both XC and DH so I know both sides. I watched Rampage but I was riding XC at Gooseberry Mesa while I was there. Epic. I liked it better than Moab for the most part and it was upper 70s/low 80s the whole time. I've been meaning to get up into the Sawtooths but haven't made it up to Idaho yet aside from a quick Bear Lake trip.

I've been to Glacier and Coueur d'Alene and loved both places!
