Thanks Spark. I took a weather class in college and it is probably the one class I remember the most from. I've always been fascinated by why weather happens. My fear of bad storms when I was young must have driven me to understand it more.

I'm going to be in Omaha on Sat. Anybody know if Cox cable in Omaha has alternates available. Seems to me they don't show up in the guide (has to be the worst interface for a channel guide I've ever seen, btw. Looks like it was designed by a a student in a high school computer programing course.)

To answer part of your thinking... it depends what part of the summer it is as to when the hottest time of the day is. This time of the year we typically don't see the hottest part of the day past about 4 to 5 pm. However in early June or July we can see the most heat from 6 to even 7 or eight...

Wear your cargo shorts with like a dozen pockets and fill em' all with Aquafinas. Wear two camelbacks too, just to be sure. Misting stations need to be on little radio controlled drones that zoom around.

You guys are referring to Weisman as a train. I believe they referred to him as this.Redirect Notice doesn't look like Weisman, but effective.

Well they attempted a lot of passes in the second half and now they have a lot of game film to study for two weeks. Now do something with it, boys! Also forgot about that non call on CJ's seam route that was blatent. Uncatchable because the defender slowed his progress (1 1/2 yards further...

Watching the game on TV Sat. (Mowins and Galloway just awful btw) there was a mention of how Jerry Kill gives the second string QB just as many reps as the starter with the starting offense. Why don't all coaches do this? Seems logical that if the most important player on offense goes down...

Yeah, you beat me to the post button. You paraphrased.

Hah! Nice name combo. I like how people are assuming Vandy is the best option. He's the most experienced and that is the primary thing Kirk looks for, we all know it. It seems like we were all having these same kind of discussions back in '08 saying, "Stanzi isn't going to be any better than JC...

To get the kind of crowd noise you're looking for, you're going to have to get 10,000 old farts that don't cheer to give up their tix first. You know the ones that listen to Dolph and Eddie while they are watching from the stands (they prefer you keep it down so they can hear their walkman radio.);)

Actually Ghost, I was watching the game at his house. He said, "No, fall down at the 1!" as Weisman punched it in from 12 yards out. With the OP this isn't hindsight, it's strategy.

I realize that eventually you have to move on and let go of the mental anguish, but I heard an interesting rumor today. My cousin informed me that certain fans sitting closer to the field just prior to the kicker kicking the second onside kick hear a loud "officials whistle" sound. Looking at...

I've been over this with you before. As anemic as the Iowa offense has been, you've got to take the points. But yes, on Saturday, the way Weisman was running it, I'd try to get another 2 plays in and maybe it would have been enough make the game out of reach for C. Michigan. I've been over this...

I'm not sure about Purdue going 7-1. I understand they have a pretty good defense, but 7 B1G wins. That seems high. I also believe Iowa improves throughout the season to surprise a few pundits. Red Zone efficiency and a consistent moving of the ball will be key.

So how do you fall when you don't expect to be tackled from behind? I expect competitive nature to kick in and the player tries to keep his balance and keep running. As apposed to doing a barrel roll at first contact.

Yup. Sounds like DISH is blowing a lot of smoke right now trying to stall and not have people cancel on them. My neighbor is having 30 people over to his house tomorrow and DISH told him that they expect another short term extension to be reached. BS. BTN says they expect DISH to pull the plug...

Thanks Spider for putting that together. Sometimes it helps to look at things from a different angle. I think what makes the game seem so much worse is the way NIU kept taking advantage of Iowa's D in the first half, you couple that with all the offensive red zone problems and JV's lack of big...

I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with your mocking and everything to do with sitting in a chair for long periods of time and frequenting the message boards. :p

I already have a U of I vanity plate for my pickup. I'm thinking about changing it. Seven letters, it works perfectly and we all know what it means. F....A....I....R....B....H....G. Now, to convince the DOT that it means something totally different so that I can get it done!;)

He has length and athleticism. Sometimes I think that's all that is required for one to be an NBA draft pick. A lot of clankers in the league, they usually fill out a roster after the superstars. I'm not really much of an NBA fan, so my opinion might seem a bit harsh on talent.
