That was the pregame speculation thread.
This is the game thread

If Borges had a second quarterback ready, there's no way in hell Sandy would dare hit land.

If I see another mother f'er post this fake picture, I will lose it.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:22 PM ^
This version is clearly fake.

Needs moar flying Denard. And nyan cat...

That one and the tomb of of the unknown soldier photo, which isn't fake, but wasn't taken during the current storm. Which, you know, is painful for a nitpicking pedant like me.

Sandy now has sustained winds of >90 mph. The North American Model (NAM) is bringing a colder than previously thought tongue of air into Ohio, so anyone living south of Toledo and west of I-71 can expect a rain / snow mix overnight. As a matter of fact there are a few snow flakes falling here in the Bowling Green area as I type.

I worked at Myles for 2 years while I was there. Just ate this one last week after stopping in on a trip from Flint to Columbus
October 29th, 2012 at 3:17 PM ^
Surprisingly, a lot of people I know don't like Myles' Pizza and prefer Pisanello's, but I think Myles' is by far the best pizza in BG.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:43 PM ^
was one of my faves, if only for economic reasons. Back then they did the 2 for $4.50 (7" pizza and 6" sub). The sauce at Myles gives a lot of people (including me) some killer heartburn, but it is sooo worth the extra Prilosec (for me, others disagree, Im sure)
October 29th, 2012 at 3:17 PM ^
For the extra pound of cheese on my pizza.
Lived in BG, during college, and Myles was great but damn that is a lot of cheese.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:40 PM ^
I worked there not one person ordered extra cheese.
October 29th, 2012 at 4:32 PM ^
Turned me off from Myles. I had it twice and both times I got sick from cheese overload. If I were to choose my BG favorite..has to be Campus Pollyeyes. CAN'T beat the stuffed breadsticks.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:19 PM ^
Either your links don't work or Sandy has already taken them out.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:20 PM ^
they're working in Firefox, I couldn't get them to run in chrome.
October 29th, 2012 at 5:04 PM ^
Now it's working for IE8. Looks wet in NYC...
October 29th, 2012 at 9:38 PM ^
to watch someone walk by through the wind and waves every once in a long while (well, I only saw one, and I'm assuming there aren't that many venturing out).
October 29th, 2012 at 3:15 PM ^
A fair number of contract utility crews from southeast Michigan are already on their way to New Jersey as of this morning, and assuming we don't need ours because of the gusty winds here (only up to 30 MPH now, but expected to hit 45 MPH near Detroit), Detroit Edison is supposedly going to release some crews to help there later in the week. The utility industry is sort of a loose brotherhood, and we're definitely keeping our counterparts on the East Coast in our thoughts here, as well as their customers.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:24 PM ^
To go with the freezing cold temps? Good thing there is not a baseball game tonight! :(
Stay safe East Coasters!
October 29th, 2012 at 3:15 PM ^
shows up to write a song where you are, get the hell out of there.
Prayers go out to everyone in harms way.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:22 PM ^
Damn hurricane is ruining my Monday night plans.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:45 PM ^
Is on the west coast. Hope you have power
October 29th, 2012 at 6:09 PM ^
because they were to be on 57th St. between 6th & 7th Avenues, where a monster luxury condo skyscraper being constructed by dubious parties has made me nervous throughout its construction. Unfortunately, the hurricane confirmed my nerves: The big midtown story is that due to the high winds, a crane is dangerously dangling from the top of the 90-story building. The streets have been evauated, but now the nearby buildings are being warned to evacuate because if the crane starts flying (which may actually cause parts of the unfinished building itself to collapse) it could damage the other buildings as well. [It's happened before in NYC, without the help of a hurricane.]
Too bad Carnegie Hall can't evacuate itself. It's directly across the street.
EDIT: I see other people posted the crane story earlier below. And in case my statement of "dubious" parties is inappropriate phrasing, I should explain that the same developer was responsible for construction scaffolding falling on a baby carriage and nanny when they were demolishing a simple one-story building to put up another luxury highrise several years ago. Fortunately the baby carriage was strong enough to protect the baby; I believe the nanny's leg was broken.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:23 PM ^
happened before they will happen again.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:37 PM ^
hurricanes landing in new jersey isn't a very common occurence
October 29th, 2012 at 3:46 PM ^
a hurricane passes or makes landfall within 40 miles of Atlantic City, New Jersey every 14 years
October 29th, 2012 at 3:56 PM ^
That's over twice the lifespan of mgoblog. I'd say that's newsworthy
October 29th, 2012 at 3:26 PM ^
Is anyone else sort of mildly impressed that the tropical-storm-force winds stretch from Maine to South Carolina? I mean that's astounding. I think today's breezy and gloomy weather here in Michigan is a more or less direct result of Sandy's presence, but it's not like you can tell the difference between this and regular fall weather.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:34 PM ^
It really is impressive seeing the satelite images.
October 29th, 2012 at 4:52 PM ^
I can see the resort I'm staying at in Punta Cana from that picture. December 8 will be a good day to leave for a week.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:26 PM ^
It's starting to get worse here. Up until now I thought Irene was much worse. Opinion has changed. It's getting scary now.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:46 PM ^
I have family on Long Island. I hope everyone stays safe
October 29th, 2012 at 6:17 PM ^
I have family in Brooklyn and D.C.

Winds of 30 mph with bigger gusts here in Howard County (10 miles west of Baltimore).
Had the day off of work, watching Weather Channel flood Dewey Beach, DE, where the wife, dog, and I spend weekends in the summer. :(
October 30th, 2012 at 9:06 PM ^
Met my wife in Dewey Beach. It's a pretty resilient town. I've seen pictures of the whole thing submerged in water from decades ago. It'll bounce back. The Cork will get a good cleaning.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:35 PM ^
Already 150,00 without power and it hasn't even hit land yet. And apparently a lot of people in Manhattan are getting calls that Con Ed is shutting down power as a precautionary messure.
October 29th, 2012 at 3:48 PM ^
just heard from a friend from HS that she got that call from Con Ed. My sister in law is already in the dark, she is on Long Island
