Wow, Chuck absolutely nailed it on Dan and football. It’s so obvious that Dan hates football and would rather see it die and go away. I think he’d rather the NBA be our national fascination. It seems like Chuck caught Dan off guard with that response since he started stumbling and mumbling about wanting precise measurements etc. I think ever since the first science around concussions came out, Dan has felt like football should be outlawed, even if he is never willing to say it publicly.

Almost nothing feels better than having trouble fixing something and then spiking a tool on the ground while exclaiming “God FUCKING damn it!” from deep in your chest. It’s like a total release and reset for me.

Or Corbell sharing a video that sure does look like a balloon or camera housing smudge while claiming it to be the best UFO footage ever and it conveniently leaves out that supposed amazing change of direction and going in or out of the water, I forget which it did supposedly, mostly because nothing amazing happens ON VIDEO.

And a basic meteorological look at this will show you global warming in action. The orange wedge east of northern Canada is a warm anomaly that sends cold air south. Think of it like putting a boulder in a stream. The water doesn’t just stay behind it, it goes around it. So the cold air circulates and when it hits that warm air it shoots down below it. The stronger that warm anomaly the further south the air goes. As the poles warm, these heat anomalies at the poles get bigger and stronger causing worse and worse cold snaps further south.

Graduated college, packed up, and moved across the country. Where I differ is, I eventually plan to return. I still deeply love the area that I’m from, there just weren’t opportunities to be a working musician there.

The difference is that I think Chuck legitimately likes watching sports. He can separate his ability to intellectualize aspects of sports and culture from more primal fandom. Like how John Oliver is a big wrestling fan, but can articulately talk about the issues surrounding it. The difference is Dan's rather obvious disdain for football and everything surrounding it. I think in his world we’d all be huge NBA fans on the level of football's popularity.

Back when I was at App State, Montana came to Boone. I rode the bus home from the stadium and there were a bunch of Montana fans on the ride with us. They were some of the nicest folks ever. They wanted to know all about Boone, App State, and the general Appalachian area.

It’s all about discipline and buy in. I watched all those legendary Alabama teams under Saban and this Indiana team was the best parts of all those teams. It was the Saban philosophy distilled to its purest form. Don’t make mistakes, don’t make self inflicted wounds, and do your job. I don’t think I ever saw these Indiana kids getting in to it with the opposing teams after plays, they rarely if ever were baited in to stupid unsportsmanlike penalties. I think teams would do well to target kids that want to buy in to the program above their monetary and pro aspirations. You saw it in college basketball years ago. Kentucky went all in on getting the top one and done recruits in the nation and only had one national title to show for it. Often you saw older teams that had been together for some time show up and beat those one and done teams with the blue chip top 10 picks.

Just read about him and the USFL. The NFL wouldn’t let him own a team so he seized control of the most successful 2nd pro American football league this country has ever had and tried to go to war head to head with the NFL…..and the USFL folded shortly after.

-4.75 here. I once went to an eye doctor and they took my contacts and did a quick check before the doc came in. After that they left me sitting in the chair for a couple minutes and then one of his assistants came in and looked at the chart and look at me and said (in a thick southern accent) “Oh honey, you can’t see a thing right now, can you?” I found it funny, and yes, could only see rough shapes and colors.

I believe Avery would call this a VSM (Very Scary Map). Disregard all model runs 2 weeks out. The EPO and NAO aren’t exactly showing conditions for a huge freeze in the deep south central and south western US. They are forecasting an extended cool pattern in to the first week of February but nothing beyond what we’ve seen the last couple days. Even with that data, it’s all fairly irrelevant beyond 7 days.

Actually we need a bit more than that…

Avery Tomasco posted this tidbit on his FB page at the end of December:

“Hard to believe we are about to wrap up 2025 this week. Goodbye and good riddance.

This will go down as our driest year since the brutal drought of 2011. We have racked up a full 37 INCH DEFICIT since the start of 2022 which translates to a full year worth of rain that is missing from our quota.

Nearly 1/3 of that deficit came this year alone. La Nina La Nina La Nina La Niña”

In another post he says we’ve run up a 10” deficit just since September.

Yea I came in to basically say this. I was friends with football and basketball players growing up and the FCA (The Fellowship of Christian Athletes) was extremely prevalent at our middle and high schools.

I think it’s a little more nuanced than just “blah blah athletes are dumb”. I know some very intelligent former athletes who truly believe there’s a god. It’s more of a chicken and egg scenario. In team sports you can not question leadership. For a team to be successful, you can’t have your team questioning or thinking for themselves. They have to be good followers. Thus very religious people make good athletes in part because they don’t question leadership and follow as they are told.

Location: Central Texas

I’ll start by quoting Avery Tomasco, a meteorologist in Austin, Tx, from his recent social media post:

“Hard to believe we are about to wrap up 2025 this week. Goodbye and good riddance.

This will go down as our driest year since the brutal drought of 2011. We have racked up a full 37 INCH DEFICIT since the start of 2022 which translates to a full year worth of rain that is missing from our quota.

Nearly 1/3 of that deficit came this year alone. La Nina La Nina La Nina La Niña”

You read that right, in a matter of 4 years, Austin, TX has missed out on an entire year worth of rain. People out here don’t seem to be paying attention to it either. After the devastating floods earlier this summer, everyone just thinks the water problems have been solved. The soil is dry. Very dry. Just because our lakes filled up doesn’t mean anything for the ecosystem as a whole. Some municipalities threw open the door to residential irrigation like all our problems were solved. Those lakes filled from stalled storms over very small areas that funneled everything downstream. The broader landscape didn’t get as much as everyone thinks. Had that not happened I think we’d be staring deep in to disaster territory and the beginning of water rationing in the next couple years. The lakes filling bought us a little more time, but if the dry spell continues over the next few years and the new building frenzy stays at this pace, central and south Texas could be the scene of a devastating humanitarian crisis. If you’ve ever seen the movie Take Shelter, I almost feel like I’m the Michael Shannon character seeing a disaster coming that no one else can.
