and yet...after it blows your house and everything away, you'll insist on rebuilding in exactly the same spot!

and I get bugged about putting up with a little cold!

What if your house got hit by a tornado and you moved and re-built in a different spot and got hit again? What would you say then Mr. Ilivewhereitstoocold?

I don't know Mr. Boobman...I choose to live somewhere that mother nature loves us all and doesn't choose to blow us all away or flood the crap out of us!

Come on, you got to have SOME kind of natural disaster in that region??? No floods? Really?

Here we got hurricanes, the occasional torndado, floods in places and lots of lightening in the spring and summer.

Oh and the threat of a mega-tsunami from those islands off the coast of Africa or a comet. :D

before I lived here, this area had a freak tornado that killed something like 13 people and they still talk about it all the time because it was such a freak storm. If there is lots and lots of snow in the winter and we get a quick spring with lots of rain, the mountain melt might cause some local rivers to splash their banks...with localized flooding...but truly, this is a natural disaster free zone!

of course now that I mentioned it....

What about the great polar bear stampede of 1994 that left hundreds dead and thousands homeless? Is that considered a natural disaster?

no, that was man made...they sold extra seal clubbing permits that year and it really pissed off the polar bears. In the end, it wasn't all that bad, it cleared out alot of slums and there was a huge bargain on fir coats.

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
