    Big10 offenses are sloth and I'm being gentle.  Aside from Ohio State, this conference is just slightly better than the MAC and I'm pretty sure our WV Mountaineer fellows would win that conference this year and being completely serious. 

    But Maryland beat WVU this season already.

    The real question is how long will it take for the tsunami to travel the distance to the east coast? Im sure even with a week notice, we still leave like 50% of residents behind…because we’re stupid.

    “In the deep ocean, tsunamis can move as fast as a jet plane, over 500 mph (800 km/h), and can cross entire oceans in less than a day.”

    I’ve started having migraines later in life so this is interesting to me. Supposed to wrap up in December.

    Purely anecdotal and didn’t really think about it until a decade after the fact, but I’ve gotten migraines immediately preceded by scintillating scotoma since I was in 8th grade. Anywhere from two times in a day to a couple years or more between them. Thinking back over the last 20+ years, the time when they were least prevalent was in college when I was regularly smoking weed. 

    I haven’t been in a position to test the effect of smoking at the onset of one. 

  4. Judging from these crowd shots, there seems to be a higher rate of recessive genetic disorders than I was aware of in Oklahoma. I thought that was more of an sec thing. 

    But I guess that’s on target with the conference realignment.

    I’m surprised by the middle finger reactions to this post (clearly I’m naive - I’m sure this comment will draw similar negatives). With a COVID death toll of 660K+ in the last 18 months, it is surprising to me to see the stadiums as packed as they have been.  

    The games may or may not drive spikes, but I would expect that by the end of the season a bunch of college football fans (more than 1K?) will have contracted a fatal case of the virus from game attendance.  Even if I’m wrong, I’m sure that others have taken a similar cautious position.  I might take on extra risk in my life to see a Texas/OU game in person, but not to see us play an exposition game against Rice or Kansas.  
     

     

    All of this. This past weekend was the first time I wasn’t in the stands for a white out at penn state and it was 100% because sitting shoulder to shoulder and then packed like sardines to get to the ramps seemed to pose an unnecessary risk with an unvaccinated 5 year old at home. 

    For auburn there were plenty of people happy to take the seats of people making that same decision. For Villanova or Rutgers, not so much.

    High ticket prices, shitty opponents and overbuilt stadiums, Kyle Field shouldn't be over 90,000.

    Penn State seemed pretty damn full to me.

    It was full because it was a night game against a ranked sec team. This weekend is Villanova at noon. I expect it will be closer to 90k than 110k.

    OSU still has a lot of problems to fix. I’m going to be nervous about every conference game. It’s a good thing they get PSU in Columbus. On the same Saturday that Penn State visits Ohio State, (Oct. 30,) Michigan will visit Michigan State. That day is probably going to be huge in deciding the B1G East. 

    Osu has problems to fix but they have plenty of time to fix them. They have 3 weeks then an off week before they get tested again @ IU the week before they host psu. 

    I think it’s pretty safe to chalk up the W for osu at home every year until psu proves they can can do it again. I’ve been to too many nightmare games in the horseshoe. Top of the list is Anthony morelli working the quick outs in the first half and then refusing to recognize that osu adjusted at halftime and started jumping the routes and watching him throw 3-4 pick sixes in the second half  

    Even if they win this game this is a suspect Auburn team that’s probably no better than 5th or 6th in the sec west. 

    the win at Wisconsin was a good one but Wisconsin played well enough to win that one. 

    mid nothing else, the big ten east is more interesting than it’s been in a while.
