Listening to the local sports talk radio station at lunch here in the field and found out that today is the 10 year anniversary of the “Bluegrass Miracle”, one of the greatest plays in LSU football history. I definitely remember where I was when it happened too. I was a freshman at LSU, watching the game on TV at Aunt Lisa & Uncle Johnny’s house in Kenilworth, LSU had blown a big lead, wondering how we let this happen, to Kentucky of all teams. There wasn’t much hope for us with 2 seconds left and 80 yards to go, but when Marcus Randall bombed that 70 yard pass the stars aligned and it ended up in Devery Henderson’s hands, he then split the defenders and raced to the endzone, with Kentucky fans littering the field in early jubilation. One of the greatest plays I’ve ever seen on television and absolutely unbelievable when it happened. Watch it below and be sure to check out the piece that Jaques Doucet of WAFB just recently did for the 10 year anniversary:

If you’ve been following the guys who did the Trout Bum & Fishbum series of videos you’ll know that their new outfit is Motiv Fishing. You’ll also know that they are the cream of the crop when it comes to adventure fly fishing. They’ve got an incredible project planned called GEOFISH that includes fishing on all 7 continents. As a geography major, GIS professional, and a fisherman, this is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever heard of and I hope they are able to pull it off in it’s entirety. The first film is GEOFISH: Mexico and it is now out on film. I’ve posted the trailer above, but I definitely look forward to seeing the whole thing. Their major sponsor is Costa Del Mar and they’ve done a phenomenal job on their website promoting the project, check it out here: https://www.costadelmar.com/explore/destinations/mexico#post1. I love the timeline with the map and the fact you can follow along their journey through Mexico, watching video stills and checking out  pictures. It makes for a really cool, interactive site, other brands should take notice, makes me proud to own a pair of Costas.
