I'm always grateful that Boone didn't exercise as much control as he could have over the years, but it seems like a pretty good gig if you're really rich, but not rich enough to buy an NFL franchise, which is like $6-7 billion these days, and most new purchases are by ownership groups and not individuals. If I had the cash, I'd become a major donor to the University of Tulsa, completely redo the stadium, make them change the nickname and mascot, and pay a damn good coach a bunch of money to make them regular winners of the AAC and maybe participants in the new playoffs. I bet I could get them close to the 30,000 capacity for a bunch of games a year. They've tried all sorts of campaigns that don't really pan out, I'd invest enough money to make it work.

Did they really need to cheat to beat CMU? Aren’t they supposedly a powerhouse? By all means, Michigan, go ahead and give Harbaugh that contract extension. It will make the court battle after his show-cause penalty a lot more interesting.
CMU played Mich State on Sept 1st. He was on the CMU sideline to scout Mich State.

Reminds me of this:
https://ktul.com/sports/university-of-tulsa/big-12-reprimands-baylor-coach-for-being-on-tu-sideline
QuoteLebby, the son-in-law of Baylor coach Art Briles, was on the sideline during Oklahoma's game last Saturday against Tulsa when Baylor had an open date.
Lebby, an Oklahoma graduate and former student assistant coach for the Sooners, was in Oklahoma for a wedding. He went to the game with credentials arranged by first-year Tulsa coach Philip Montgomery, a Baylor assistant the previous seven years.

It’s been alluded to on message boards for months. Ohio State, Tennessee, Georgia and Oregon fans have all been posting about this for a while. Curious who or what tipped off Thamel that it was legit and not just speculation
Are the big cigars at Michigan tired of Harbaugh's shit for some reason? I can't see that they would be because beat tOSU and all, but? Maybe he screwed the wrong guy's wife?

There's this one guy that took over a social media platform then struggled with revenue. I think he just started charging people 8 bucks a month and that made everyone happy 🤷♂️

Those sov-cit videos have made their way into my YouTubes. Always funny to see those idiots drug out of their cars and arrested because they don't understand the 10th amendment.

Nothing more aggy-esque than hanging out on an opponents board, trying to act like your school matters.
But what if said board is run by an aggy?

Agreed.
SO many people are completely writing us off because of last year just sort of ignoring the fact that last year’s team was utterly decimated with injuries.
Bowman is a huge upgrade at QB over Sanders. Yes I said it. And the WR group overall is going to be better than last year as well.
The defense is also going to be better; Justin Kirkland is going to shine in the Nard Dog’s odd front.
And the schedule is very favorable. 10+ wins or bust.
I heard on the Sports Animal this week that Rangel was going to be the man. 🤷♂️

Did you hear singing in the wire?
Yeah, can hear it from the ground. I don't think the 161 lines hum as much but the 345 and larger ones let off an eerie buzz.

I defer to your expertise. But I’m still gonna bitch on Facebook, because America!
To be honest, my system is on the smaller side and I just have a micro view of the BES system as a whole. And I don't think there is any stigma in the industry against burying transmission lines, its just the cost to do so would be astronomical. Before you even start you would have to renegotiate almost every ROW contract with landowners, hire all the labor, purchase all the new material, install reactors, etc. It's just a lot more than most companies could afford, but I guess the cost would just be passed down to customers.

...What I do know is that walking underneath the transmission lines in the Southern California desert was wild. Dead silent in the wilderness, but when you get to those things it sounds like a massive bug zapper.
I got to do some 345 hot hand hand training with our linemen (more than) a few years ago. It was wild, we put on a full Faraday suit and went up in the bucket truck. When you reach out for the line sparks come out 8 or 10 inches to your fingers, like those plasma balls they used sell at Spencer's but with out the glass, when you grab on you can feel all the hair on your body stand up.
But yeah those higher voltages lines buzz loader the more load you put on them.

I try to stay away from this thread because as a system operator most of yall's conversation is over my head but I did decide to catch up on the last page.
All I can add is about burying transmission lines is you have to deal with Ferranti rise which is a lot worse on buried cables, which is why I've been told we don't do it much. Not much of a big deal on distribution lines but nobody wants the added equipment on the transmission system.
And about line losses - I can tell you live, real time, right now I'm looking at a 32 mile long 345kV line one end is sending 426 mW and the other end is receiving 420 mW. But my 93 mile section of 345 line is actually a couple mW higher on the receiving end but it isn't carrying much load so it's just a big capacitor right now. And I dunno what a substation in the middle would do about line losses? Line loss is line loss and having a bus in the middle wouldn't do fuck all? Maybe they mean it's mitigated from another line coming in? But the loss is still there, just part of doing business, it's accounted for but not considered a big deal.

Some industrious team is going to rig up a modern day "punt gun" to deal with direct-impact drones. Even a semi-auto 10g with a simple tracking ability would help. Then you can buy some time on the more advanced technology that jams their signal and allows you to recover them.
