    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.

    Lebby, 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?

    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. 🤷‍♂️

    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.

    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.

    Basically allocate a redneck from Louisiana to every squad
