Last spring, at a biology class on the Spokane River, Gonzaga basketballers Drew Timme and Anton Watson encountered a tall-person problem: They could not find lab-issued boots large enough for their gargantuan feet. Timme, because he is Timme, crammed his size-18 human snowshoes halfway into the biggest pair available, then skipped down to the banks, which were lined with trees and rock formations, dark-blue water sparkling in the sun.
The man and his majestic mustache then waded into the water to hunt for insects and frogs. Suddenly, Watson spied a crawfish, which he plucked and held high. Timme began cheering.
