    Chicago has a population of 2.7 million people and has 120 murders in 2018. Chicago's murders are confined to certain areas of the city.

    Cancun has a population of 542 thousand people and has over 100 murders in 2018. Cancun's murders are wherever the cartels decide to kill people.

    So yeah, I would feel more safe in Wrigleyville than I would in any part of Cancun.

    I’ve never had two seperate gun fights with automatic weapons fire break out within a block of my location in Chicago nor have I had to bribe the local police chief to give me back my documents.  

    The first time you have to look at your third story hotel balcony and try to decide if you could climb down it if the gunfire gets closer will be the last time you ever “want” to go to Mexico. F that place.

    I find it funny that anyone would complain about Herman running his QBs too much. Good thing we never ran James Street too much back in the day, huh?

    Literally no difference between running a triple option offense against 1960’s sized defenders and running QB off tackle leads on “3rd and everybody knows it’s coming” from the gun against current collegiate athletes. 

    The play is fine and often effective. But use it as a change of pace and not as the only possibility.

    It will take a lot of QB dives on 3rd and 4 to hit 500 yards 

    Well, that’s 125 QB lead OT plays at an average of 4 yards per rush. Or roughly 10 per game. I’d say our crack offensive staff is more than up to the task of trying it.

    Why is Mehringer bad? Honestly I’m curious. 

    Which of our WR’s seemed to improve over the course of the season? Also, the Greek travesty we pretend is a WR rotation is likely his work too.

    What does the staff need to do to get Collin Johnson to shape up? It's irksome that things haven't "clicked" for him yet, given that the entire country saw what he is capable of in the Coliseum last fall.

    They could start by getting him on the field during game deciding snaps and maybe bother to find ways to keep him from being doubled by shear alignment. That’s some next level shit slightly more difficult than deciding to use the prototype V/S slot WR in V/S ways.

    Hagbard and Bobby are cute...they think big MSM corporations give a fuck

    Yeah, at no point did I reference large corporations or the MSM. So, nice reach I guess. 

    My job requires that I pay more attention to the weather than most people, and what I posted above are the very obvious trends that I’ve noted.

    Agree that weather has become business more than public service and the goal is to whip up people, drive clicks, blah blah blah.  BUT....the weather guys basically have this argument force fielded as they can simply say something like, "Well we could go back to 1900 where thousands of people died in a hurricane in Galveston because they didn't know it was coming. We are protecting you......won't you think of the damn children."

    That might have merit if they didn’t actually have the ability to pinpoint  tornadic activity down to a few square mile area (it’s a lot smaller than that but I’m allowing for reasonable fudge factor) or set up things like their TorCon watch areas to not magically include large metro areas in the periphery when said areas are in fact in no danger. 

    It’s an inexact science as we’ll know, but they’re always skewing the data or selecting certain scenarios to drive viewership or web interaction.  Like the winter storms suddenly having names.  Instant scare factor for the masses.

    Can someone give me the cliff notes? This thread confuses me.

    Weather folk prefer panicking the entire metroplex over providing accurate info to those in actual danger as it drives activity on their websites and apps which generates revenue for them. 

    Much like the weather channel always picking the worst case model and showing the earliest possible timeline for arrival. That’s when they bother to show the weather at all. 

    Youll find that they often miss the arrival of said fronts/storm systems by 12-36 hours, and its never on the early side.

    Guns advertised like beer, because just about the same intellectual depth is required of the audience.

    TnA sells everything the last time I checked. 

  11. Mine has this fascinating habit of almost getting things where they need to be. For example, there’ll be a pile of clothes next to a half empty hamper. The recycling/garbage bag will make it to the garage and next to the bins/cans, used diapers end up on the table next to the diaper pail. 

    I cant decide if she’s being lazy, losing her mind with two toddlers or f’ing with me.

    Apparently the offense had 10 three and outs in last Saturday's scrimmage. Midseason form 

    I can handle the three and outs. Our OL isn’t particularly good, we don’t have a serviceable TE who isn’t a RS frosh with no playing experience and we have a WTFR rotation that bottles the mind. 

    It’s the Tard and outs that will break this team.  And not having the best punter in school history to bail us out after we tard it up from the press box.

    Bobby Burton was told that Tim Beck wore an Eskimo Hut shirt to practice yesterday.  

    That was a type-o. It was an Eskimo Brothers shirt.

    Fair enough but Herman just feels a hell of a lot different than Charlie...

    I watched last season. Herman has more than a few chinks in his coaching armor. Whether he shores that up or not will be revealed shortly, but the WTF to attaboy ratio was about even in my opinion, and that’s not enough to start doing keg stands over the koolaid pitcher just yet. Imoho.
