Worried about moray eels this season

FAIL!

Mock threads belong in the lounge only!

You had me scared too for a minute there... seeing as how I'm gonna be snorkeling in the Bahamas almost a month from today...

Avid diver here, the only things you need to be worried about in the Bahamas are Barracuda, Tiger sharks and a pissed off Stingray.

I was actually about 5 feet away from a rather large Barracuda in the Bahamas this past December... He was just chilling out, so I wasn't dumb and didn't get any closer... He could have taken my arm off, but I would have had to punch him in the face as he tried... ;)

I was about 20 feet above a stingray too, but he was just chilling out too... so I left him alone...

Didn't see any sharks though, but I have read about the Tiger sharks they have down there... Hopefully, I won't be getting too close to any of those any time soon... I hate sharks!

Oh, back in December, I was pretty close to a lionfish too... They're awesome looking, but can hurt you a little bit, I hear...

I had a Tiger shark take a taste test of one of my fins before, exciting if nothing else!

What I fear about them most is the temperment I have heard they have... Very ill tempered and ready to attack anything that moves at times...

Plus, it doesn't help that I was eaten by a motherfugin' shark this one time...

Yes they are rather ill tempered I got right back up to the top and in the boat after it happened. Never had any issues with Barracuda outside of them just following you around under the water.

    • SC won the ACC title the week before in Clemsons own house. Committee was worried about optics over talent. 
    • It's crazy how folks on the huddle can draft better than our highly paid scouts.  I know I saw several mocks with the first 3 selections going Ladd, Frazier and Wilson like the above post.  Heck, one of them may have been mine.  It seems that the scouts go into paralysis by analysis.  Ladd might not be the ideal weight or height, it's tabo to draft centers high, Wilson had past injuries.  All that said, those dudes just dominated at their respective positions. Our scouting department and Morgan need the K.I.S.S montra--keep it simple stupid. STOP overthinking it.
    • This team has long had an allergy to the obvious pick. They take an XL and think they can coach him up to be the next megaton or DK. Brooks to be the next Peterson. Burns to be the next LT. They pick dudes and play them outside of their natural position. They draft for need, get desperate, pick the flawed guy, and the results speak for themselves. They go to the store jonesing for a ribeye, the store is sold out except for the ‘manager’s special’ … and end up with a toilet of puke later that night…  whereas the filet that was sitting right next to it got some other dude laid.  The obvious pick with no need of coaching up has done them pretty well. Moose. Peppers. Kuechly. Davis. Gross. Jenkins, etc.  Sometimes obvious is just obvious. Consistently missing on first and second rounders gets them exactly where they are. Loser teams, devoid of talent and a revolving door at head coach.  WR: Pick the guy who can catch the damn ball. DE: pick the guy who can play the run well. Pass rush is nice, but playing the run is better.  center: smart big guy who doesn’t miss assignments.  tackle: good pass protector first. Run blocker second. If you have a really good QB and receivers that can catch, the running game will open itself up by default.    It’s not THAT hard, right? Diamonds in the rough are usually only quartz. Stop picking up dudes whose flaw is THE primary skill required for their position, thinking that you’ve got some sort of magical staff. Go BPA with the healthy guy who just flat out gets it done better than anyone else still available…. Except for a RB or special teamer. Yes BPA is boring, but it stacks the team with legit talent.    That’s what I’m going to call their reaches from now on. The f-in manager’s special. Break out the cast iron griddle, Montreal steak seasoning, and some avocado oil.
