Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I get the SECN but have a sports package to cover for the scattered games that don't show up on basic cable.

Low here predicted to be 70°F tonight and tomorrow, high tomorrow 95°/50% and then 97°F/49%.  Dog days.

I think the 97°F will be the highest it's been in a few years.

I agree, I'd rather have 95°F and 25% RH than 85°F and 75% RH.

These "feels like" Ts they talk about are way off.  A nice breeze helps as well.  I've been in Vegas when it was mid-teens and 10% RH and it was oven hot.

Now I'm dwelling on that "dream" of adding UVa and Louisville. Now if they'd let us trade for Rutgers ...

Comparing Michigan and OSU is interesting for how similar their 10-year averages are. 

Each had one prolonged "golden era" (defined here by me as rolling 10-year average being a fixture of the 90+ percentile):

• Michigan's lasted 30 years, with the rolling average getting there beginning in the mid-1970s. 
• OSU's is happening right now; it began after Tressel and likely has at least another decade of rolling average staying power

Each had one brief golden era:

• Michigan's rolling average got there in the late 1940s and dropped off after a half-decade
• OSU's rolling average got there in the late 1970s and dropped off after a half-decade

Each had one era ranking the the 60th percentile:

• Michigan's lasted roughly one decade from ~1960 to ~1970.
• OSU's lasted a few years in the late 1960s

Each had one era ranking the the 50th percentile:

• Michigan's lasted a few years in the 1910s
• OSU's lasted a few years around the late 1920s

Kid #2 lives in New Braunfels south of Austin and was just here, said it was hotter there by a lot.

Texas (ERCOT) hit an electricity demand record this week to the point that there was a risk of blackouts. That didn't happen, and they do have a lot of new generation in the works (wind, solar, and gas alike, along with energy storage). However, it goes to show that being a fully deregulated market (ie. utilities don't directly own any generation or have any customers - they're just responsible for the transmission & distribution infrastructure) does work for them, even without any real environmental policy (while having the most wind and fastest growing market for solar).... Of course, wind & solar isn't really a political issue in other Great Plains and Southwest states, as well..... Hopefully the Southeast will finally learn soon enough, but I'm not optimistic, except for Florida and North Carolina....
