[Husker] Initial Impressions

[jon johnston]

I thought "game" was something you shot or caught.

The best "game" is the trophy - you know - your 30-point buck, your  
over 50" muskie, over 30" walleye, 10 pound plus bass, three pound  
crappie.  I haven't done as well at these as I'd like, although I got  
a nice Whitetail a few years ago.

Given that, I'd mount Joe Ganz if I shot him or caught him on a hook.

That just sounds so wrong, doesn't it?

p.s. I shouldn't read this stuff on Saturday night, should I?
