NOAA’s storm prediction…

NOAA’s storm prediction center has a convective - ie tornados - outlook. It’s showing enhanced for Houston, which is 1 step up from slight.  Living in tornado country, enhanced could get schools closed/let out early because lawyers, but it’s not worrisome.  Moderate is when we get nervous.  

& the NWS Houston has a severe weather outlook for today.  These are basically the bluf for the briefings what local EMS, schools, etc get when bad weather is forecast.  Again, today isn’t stuff that usually gets us nervous.  

& for those who don’t live in tornado country (like Michigan), even if tornado watches are issued later today, that’s pretty standard because something could pop up.  It’s when the warnings are issued & the sirens go off that - at least in my county - get us to turn on the tv & see where the track is.

if there is bad weather while at the stadium - inner halls & bathrooms are usually the shelters.

I know that there are Michigan alumni in Huntsville - there’s at least one in my office.  So there should be something around here - you’ll want to check Madison, too, which is Huntsville’s bedroom community.

Maybe look on facebook?  
 

good luck.

Why wait?  Maybe because that’s the 1st opening on the calendar?  
 

I’m not a lawyer, but I’m following a trial in NY.  Mon-Thurs, 10 to 4 or 5.  Half day on Fri.  Doesn’t give a judge many openings if something else comes up.

 

& in non-trial weeks there are hearings for other cases in the queue, briefings to read, rulings to write, etc.  & I’m sure other things that I have no visibility into.  Oh, I forgot jury selection if that’s applicable in this court

I thought that was coming from the Carr camp

Bet it’s hard to play for Sabin, & it’s obviously hard to play for Meyer. 

Then there was Woody Hayes, Mike Leach, oh & what about Bear Bryant & the Junction Boys.

that’s to name a few other difficult coaches

Maybe.  But Oxford, Ohio *is* where this Michigander 1st heard a southern accent.  

I would think the fact that…

I would think the fact that it took Harbaugh 7 years to beat Ohio State & win the Big 10 championship might be reason for folks to re-evaluate the Hoke era.  
 

also, the ‘Hoke did a poor job of recruiting QBs” definitely deserves another look given Harbaugh’s QB recruiting record at Michigan.

Bacon addressed the press box issue.  The longtime person who would have heard the broadcast & the issue & alerted the team wasn’t doing that that day - because he was training the person Brandon picked to replace him.  

He’s not the only recent…

He’s not the only recent coach to have qb issues tho, is he?  

If you read Bacon’s book, 1)…

If you read Bacon’s book, 1) Hoke wasn’t the only one who didn’t see the hit 2) Brandon’s personnel changes eliminated long time safe guards that would have helped mitigate/prevent what happened then 3) Brandon’s meeting to craft a response was an absolute cluster & left Hoke hanging in the wind.  

The Dilieo slide wasn’t …

The Dilieo slide wasn’t “luck.”  Hoke finished practices with that scenario. So they were well prepared.

Arguing in 1951 that colleges & universities weren’t in the “football business” was one thing.

but today, given the value of the TV deals, the bowl $, the AD budgets, that coaches’s compensation greatly exceeds that of college presidents’s, etc, I’d say it’s a lot harder.

Given the time “ground & pound” consumes, how does Harbaugh figure Michigan will have enough possessions to score 45 points?
