Especially if it's to Vanderbilt....

I have a couple friends hauling relief supplies into the affected areas. The little towns half washed away. I’ve seen some pics that are pretty awful. They say the pics don’t come close to showing how bad it is.

Apparently Asheville is semi-normal with lots of residual damage and sporadic availability for food, etc since retail and supply chain are fooked in the area. Is what you see better or worse?

The areas I've been in are bad, but I was brought in specifically to look at the logistics of how to start getting debris cleaned up. Things are running, but the food scarcity is correct. Food trucks and donation stations seem to be best options. It's definitely 3rd world bad close to the rivers.

I expect Cascade to beat Durant this week, so it wouldn't be.

obviously this is basketball preliminary classifications but can give an idea of the beds # of some teams.

Interestingly, teams I had no idea that ~could~ drop to 8 man were Saint Ansgar, North Linn and South O'Brien (after frl calc).. Obviously Gehlen has been below the cut for some time and elected to play up so I'm sure these 3 will as well but interesting enough!

If Wilton defeats West Branch this week, then the West Branch at Durant game in the final week of the season will be for the 4th and final playoff spot in District 5.

The combination of an ERC overnight and probably the proximity to the Yucatán has caused some disruption this morning. He has some dry air issues at the moment and isn’t perfectly symmetrical anymore.

As he pulls away from the Yucatán he’ll cross over the loop current in the gulf, which has the deepest and most ocean heat content in the GOM. If he can shake the dry air he’ll probably bounce right back to a cat 5 later today/tonight. Lot of the models show it strengthening later today, then ingesting a lot of dry air and weakening quite a bit tomorrow evening before landfall.

I have one sister in Lutz outside Tampa and another in Apopka outside of Orlando. This has the potential to suck.

Platitudes and word salad, she has nothing else to offer. There's never going to be accountability from Harris.

My thoughts after week 6, not a ton of changes but a few

District 1
1. OABCIG
2. West Sioux
3. Ridge View
4. Hinton

I keep going back and forth for who will get second place in this district, that will be decided this week.

District 2
1. Emmetsburg
2. NW Webster
3. Sioux Central
4. East Sac

Manson NW Webster seems to have taken the 2nd spot with the win over Sioux Central, East Sac and Sioux Central need to play yet to determine 3/4

District 3
1. DNH
2. MFL Mar-Mac
3. Sumner Fred
4. Aplington Parkersburg

I don't see there being any way that this isn't the final standings.

District 4
1. Grundy Center
2. South Hardin
3. Alburnett
4. Hudson

Same with District 4, I think this is all but wrapped up, I thought that South Hardin might have given Grundy a better game then they did, but Grundy is just a machine. I also heard on KWWL that Hudson had a few kids suspended.

District 5
1. Wilton
2. Regina
3. Beckman
4. West Branch

This district is very much still in play, West Branch is probably locked into the 4 spot, but Beckman Regina I am interested in this week, then Regina vs Wilton the next week.

District 6
1. Sigourney Keota
2. Pleasantville
3. Pella Christian
4. EBF

I believe that this is more or less set for how teams will finish barring a major upset.

District 7
1. Woodward Granger
2. South Hamilton
3. Ogden
4. Grandview Christian

W-G vs SH for the district title this week, I think that it is truly a toss up, West Central Valley could make 3/4 a 3 way tie with a win over Ogden.

District 8
1. Treynor
2. AHSTW
3. Underwood
4. Shenandoah

Barring an upset this is the way things will finish, Underwood will be a very good 3 seed, they have played a brutal schedule.

First Round Matchups

OABCIG vs Shenandoah
Emmetsburg vs Hinton
DNH vs EBF
Grundy Center vs Grandview Christian
Wilton vs Hudson
Sigourney Keota vs West Branch
Woodward Granger vs Aplington Parkersburg
Treynor vs East Sac

West Sioux vs Sioux Central
NW Webster vs Ridge View
MFL Mar Mac vs Beckman
South Hardin vs Sumner Fredericksburg
Regina vs Pella Christian
Pleasantville vs Alburnett
South Hamilton vs Underwood
AHSTW vs Ogden

Predicted Top 4 at the End of the Season
1. Grundy Center
2. Dike New Hartford
3. Emmetsburg
4. Wilton

Which if it is these four (or Regina in place of Wilton) you would probably have pods with some travel for teams from the SW part of the state.

Fishing story...

I was at AU. Folks had a place in Gulf Shores. I had a little boat on a college budget and a couple of us were going to go to Gulf Shores to fish for a few days. Big hurricane came thru (cant remember which one, it was the late 80s) a couple days before we were going to go fishing. We knew the water would be all screwed up but said screw it, lets go anyway. Loaded in at Alabama Point and the gulf looked like churned up, dirty ass lake water... we didn't have much confidence.

We started right outside the jetties and instantly started catching the sh@t out of them. The hurricane had blow a ton of usually deep water fish inshore. No sh@t we were catching gag grouper, snapper and some amberjack in freakin' 6' of water. I saw kids catching grouper in the breakers on the beach. It lasted for about 3 days before they headed back out to deep water. We would load the boat with fish and give tons of them to people waiting on the concrete wall by the bridge. I ate fish tacos until I was sick of fish tacos.

Central Florida looks like it’s about to take a beating. Hope it doesn’t turn up once it hits land and head to Savannah/Charleston. In Charleston until Thursday for work.

That doesn’t have much to do with UGA-Auburn though. Not sure how it’s relevant.

You should know by now that a Bama loss is far more important.

yeah that's not what we want. Let's pray something chops this monster down before it hits FL.

Pressure now at 897mb. That’s pretty intense

My best guess is that Texas is the best team in the country right now, and I thought so before we met Great Value Manziel, but I think UGA is close.

With the game in Texas, I'm leaning towards them but it'll be close imo.
