OK, Fat Bear Week begins in earnest tomorrow with our first matchup: 335 vs.164 in one tier, 747 vs. 856 in another one. Get your votes in to get your favorite BearPig into the nest bracket! Memorable anecdote: Otis once ate 42 loving salmon in one sitting! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYovpAQyLik Also: "Few brown bears ever grow as large as the bear who shares an identification number with a jet airplane. When 747 was first identified in 2004, he was a relatively young bear, only a few years old and unable to compete with larger bears for the most preferred fishing locations. Since then, he has become one of the largest brown bears on Earth, perhaps weighing as much as 1,400 pounds (636 kg)." 1400 pounds of muscle. That's not the kind of bear that you tell to stay away from your kayak. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU5cMZymSr0 Pigsfeet on Rye fucked around with this message at 00:14 on Oct 5, 2022 |

Icon Of Sin posted:747 reigns from above, none can reach his height or girth I think last year was because Otis looked like a skinny horse at the beginning, and he hulked up hugely. 747 was bigger, but the relative bulk seemed less.

Otis looked like he had a lot more gains, but I think he started short of 747’s behemoth mass. 747 won so hard the year before that he was still fatter than the other bears, even after hibernation

You know what's so satisfying about bear week? It's true meritocracy. No lies, no corruption, no injustice. Merit. They earned every. single. vote.

909’s yearling put up some impressive gains this year, but 901 is showing his experience! 854-Divot was never a threat to 151-Walker, though.

I love Divot, but Holly is loving CHONK. She's out to avenge her loss last year.

My boy took a serious L  I'll see you next year champ. Only Holly (435), Grazer (128), 747 and 901 remain. 747 v. Holly is today.

SquirrelyPSU posted:My boy took a serious L Oof, Otis lost by over 2:1. Crushing defeat by 901’s corpulence, but as long as he makes he through winter he’s a winner in my book  747 and Holly have been just been catastrophically blowing out any and all competitors. Holly didn’t even notice when she brutally demolished 164 by over 10:1. 747 might need to put in some extra reps to take on that level of large, but I’m sure Bear Force One has it in him.

No. It's 2+ days old, was handled, and the election integrity has been defended. The old elections were never attacked and remain unsullied.

Today’s the big day! The champion of chonk, a corpulent king, Bear Force One himself, 747! vs no-name-to-big-gains, the princess of excess, bastion of bulk, 901! Everyone gets a looooong nap after a hard season of big gains, so they’re all winners regardless!
