This damn storm is moving so slow

  In 1998 when I lived just north of ILM hurricane Bonnie basically sat at the mouth of the cape fear river for hours and my house was in and out of the eye numerous times that evening - made it tough to sleep - Florence was another slow mover - took about 48 hours for it to get in and out of here and I recorded over 26 inches of rain.  Those are slow movers.  I can take the 10 mph clip Ian is currently moving.

This is a visual so you can see what a 19/20 foot storm surge is. Water that can't be stopped.

The picture is of the Hurricane that have hit Wilmington/ Wrightsvile Beach.. You've heard of many of these. Most were Cat 1, 2 or 3 ,,   Only Hazel was a Cat 4/5 .   It had the 19 ft storm surge.   THIS IS WHAT HIT Ft Myers Fla.  It's devastating .

So  when Georgetown SC is hit ( or that area ),  thank if a 5-8 storm surge.  AND, High Tide is about noon today.  There will be damage. Probably not catastrophic ,, but it won't be pretty.

      I agree with you in theory.  In practice the ACC doesn't gain anything by crapping on Notre Dame. This year, the ACC was the benefactor of NC State, Syracuse, Pitt, and Miami being on Prime Time linear (which is still massive compared to streaming) network TV BECAUSE of Notre Dame.  You could maybe argue that Miami could get on Prime Time anyways because of who they are, but they were in the opening weekend ONLY game on SUNDAY mostly because they were playing Notre Dame.  I work with a ton of dipsh*ts, and self-absorbed assholes in entertainment, and while I'd love to tell them to fug off, I realize the reward is worth the tolerance needed to reap it. I think the ACC is in the same boat with Notre Dame.  The last thing you want to do is piss off Notre Dame and have them take their ball, go home, and call the Big 10 to be their new "friends". Then every ACC game is on the CW Network, or the 11am kick on ESPNU.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      I think Shough is playing well.  Kellen Moore knows how to develop/help a QB.  If Shough keeps this up the Saints might be able to pass on drafting one this year to give him another season.  He is an older rookie so he needs to play well fast and he appears to be doing so. The 4th quarter play was my point.  It doesn't change much but it happened to drop him below Bryce which you clearly aren't a fan of so you had to manipulate the data to make him higher and just look at starts vs season totals.  Regardless they are very close this year and you seem to think Shough is playing well... which means???

      By CRA · Posted

      I mean, I often separated PJ Walker's starts vs his garbage time.  We generally edit out 2 games from Bryce when talking about him last year.  All depends what discussion you are having.  but if you are having an honesty discussion on Shough and how he is playing and start talking per game production.....a 0-2, 0 yard, 4th quarter technical appearance is going to massive distort his per game production given his limited playing time.  The OG goal of of this thread was a legit look at surprisingly play of our next opponent.  That's supposed to be normal football talk.   But most QBs indirectly make Bryce look bad and the stans can't have that.
