| Toughest
opponent |
Gaylon
Russell, Ken
Penrose, and Keith "Over" Powers. Gaylon's head weighs 63 lbs! I'm not
kidding. Have you seen that thing?!? It's enormous! That thing has its
own zip code! J/K Gaylon! Ya know I love ya yo! Gaylon has beat me more
times than I have beat him and as you can see, I'm not bitter about it
at all. ;-) Kenny and I have had some classic battles over the years.
He is definitely one of the best lefties in CO history. I have
"overpowered" Keith on occasion, but he has handed me some beatings. We
have had a back and forth rivalry. I will be the first to admit I have
ducked that guy like Lincoln Hawks ducked Bull Hurley. :-) |
