I logged on to say…17 TD’s, 1,400+ yds, and 22 yds per catch. SICK!  
 

These are Beast like numbers.

Tourism is our business.  The rebound for the most part will happen pretty fast.  They will have crews working around the clock to get power back and to clean up.  In a few months all clean up will be done.  The bridge to Sanibel will be of the utmost importance, for tourism but also because it is the only way to get to the island besides by boat so I would think this would be a top priority.  Not sure but in 4-6 months I would think they would have the bridge repaired not sure how long it takes to do this but when it comes to clean up after a storm no one does it better than FL.  Tourism is why we don't pay State Taxes, so you can bet they will get everything presentable as quickly as possible.  But rebuilding Fort Myers Beach, Naples coastline, Cape Coral, Sarasota....it will take time for the buildings and infastructure to be 100% complete.  Fort Myers Beach needed an upgrade...just sucks it will come due to the storm.

My phone didn't work when I was in the Cape.  It was useless....sometimes a text would go through.  The clean up is no fun for sure, but you grab some neighbors, cold beers, fire up a grill and everyone throws some food on before it goes bad.  The one thing about a hurricane is that it brings Floridians together.  Kids play outside...what??? I know...but you see kids playing that you never seen before.  Material things can be replaced.  It unifies everyone, including your family.  Everyone has to pitch in and everyone gets to spend time together and appreciate what you have.  We can find the silver lining.  With that said....My heart goes out to those that lost everything and to those families that lost loved ones.  That is the ugly part of it.

Thanks Joe!  I have been in FL for 20 years and lived in Bermuda for 3 years.  Been through some major hurricanes, but this is the worst I have seen.  I wasn't in FL during Andrew but this one was massive.  I am enjoying Miami but can't stay too long...need to get my home right.  I am glad to hear you are doing well.  OSU winning is always a nice gift...Go Bucks!!!!

I live in the Cape as well. My house took a beating. And no power or generator. Wife is upset about that but she doesn’t mind the 5 star hotel in Miami Beach. Just need to find a spot to watch the game. Hope these bars have Big10 network.

Pork & Beans

Pork = Williams (Pork Chop)

Beans = Henderson (Gives defenses the Shits when he blows by them!)

Comment 24 Sep 2022

I think there was a grand scheme of not using the TE to lull every defensive coach in the country to never scheme for out TE. After 75 years we have said, we will now unleash the TE!  No matter how much we use the TE opposing coaches will not plan for it because they just can’t believe we will ever throw to a TR ever. The plan is working!!!

Go Bucks!!!!

my opinion on most talented teams:

1968

2002

1995

2015

2019

(this year could crack this if D puts up some good numbers and if O can live up to the hype by seasons end)

my favorite team was 1995 team.  Wish that team beat TTUN.  But loved that team.

They chant SEC, SEC, SEC...because Alabama is the best in football and their team sucks.  So the only way they can hitch to Alabama with out becoming bandwagon is to do this stupid chant.  It makes them feel better.  They also think have a chance if Alabama goes back in to the Cave of Nothingness after Saban retires, but the SEC will crumble because they have alienated all the other conferences and fanbases.  This will knock them down a few pegs.  I can't wait for that.  I do not think the SEC is set up for success for after Saban dies, it will be the wild west with them trying to recapture this high.

Let's not forget Greg Frey...

Greg Frey (born January 29, 1968) is a former American football player. He is 1986 graduate of St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati,[1] where he played quarterback. As a three-year starting quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes, he led the team to two notable come-from-behind wins. On September 24, 1988, he rallied Ohio State from a 33–20 deficit in the final four minutes to a 36–33 victory over the ninth-ranked LSU Tigers. On October 28, 1989, the Buckeyes were losing 31–0 to the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Frey brought the team back for a 41–37 win, throwing a total of 362 yards.

I was 13 and 14 years old for these two games.  Watched them both with my Dad.  This is when I learned that we are never really out of a game and I always watch to the end.  Crazy stuff happens.

I heard...man you better not tell anyone you heard this from me.  But I heard from, I can't tell you who they are or where they are employed as it will give away His OR Her Identity.  Anyway, this person, so totally knows what is going to happen cause they work somewhat closely with, man, you can't tell anyone I told you this.  I mean this is serious stuff.  Ok, so this person told me, and I heard it with my own two ears, so you are getting this almost straight from the horses mouth.  You really can't say I told you.  Ok?  Alright, so He or She told me that the NCAA and NFL have no idea how this will all play out.  That is the only rumor that matters right now.  Sorry if you read all the way through this BS.  I am kinda bored today.

If there is a season then...

CFP - YES

New Years 6 - YES

Other bowl games will be played by teams that are in the regions or close proximity to the bowl itself.  This way there is no major travel for schools or fans.  This cuts down on cost for practice, travel expenses but gives teams another game with additional practice time and maybe boosts attendance.

But as long as we have the CFP, then I am good, and they could expand that to 8-12 teams as it could be a good "experiment".  Just hope we have a season and that it is not all messed up with too many kids getting COVID or good players sitting out or the season starts but doesn't finish.

Which has the chance to be more profitable should be the question.  They will postpone until a point comes where they just can't do it because too much time has passed and/or it is no longer profitable.  You will have to rip the tournament out of their cold dead hands if they feel like there is a profit to be made and time allows.

Brookhaven beat my HS by damn near 100 points one time.  So when we played them at home we frustrated the shit out of them by playing 4 corners.  It was fun as shit for us because they were getting so upset, them and their coach.  I think we lost like 24-20 but it was really close and they hated it.  I loved it because they couldn't dunk as much on me.

Ohio State Pizza - Marathon Italian Sub, Garlic Bread with Cheese and a Large Pep pizza...and I would still have change.  I had a tab with them for 2 years.  They would bring me beer and cigs with my orders.  Really sad, but I got a shit ton of food for nothing and I liked the Sub, so I would eat the Pizza first then save the sub for later.  

If I ate there now my stomach would resign without giving a two week notice and my colon press assault charges on me.  But when you are 20 years old....
