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

Temecula has some nice wine places. Not too far from your domicile. 

Yeah, been there a handful of times.

Now that we're no longer estranged from my brother, we'll probably end up out there with them at some point. They go out there more often than we do and I think they're a member at one of the places.

We actually have a couple of decent wineries right here in Orange County too. If anyone here happens to find your way out to visit this sh!thole state, let me know and I'll show ya around...

I feel like you shared some of those details, but I don't remember them clearly and am not asking after them. But I highlight this to say, I am happy to hear about the bolded, even if my lack of details is probably papering over something far more complex. 

As suspected,  Russ Rose is retiring.  (2 million years at Penn St.  7 ncaa vball titles). I've interviewed him many times.   Grade A smart ass, great quote, incredible coach.

agreed, when I said north I meant at least as far north as Santa Barbara

been to San Diego a couple times - Torrey Pines golf course is great but maybe a bit over rated 

We came back a day early, the weather unusually went south.  And we leave for Orlando Christmas Day to meet up with grandkids from France.

Not my favorite city of course but they should like it.

I'm rather glad we came back early really, I've never seen weather that bad in Hawaii on the Kohala Coast.

No argument Carolina's the best

The Big Ten Network polled almost all of the Big Ten coaches at Big Ten Media Days and asked which Christmas movie topped their list.

SCOTT FROST, NEBRASKA

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Scott Frost sticks with some of his Big Ten West comrades, but he also likes Love Actually which gives him some major brownie points with the "Rom-Coms Are Good" Hyve.

TOM ALLEN, INDIANA

Home Alone. The fact that Tom Allen is the only Big Ten coach to pick Home Alone is an absolute crime. The Wet Bandits are coming to their houses and Kevin McAlister will not be there to protect them.

KIRK FERENTZ, IOWA

N/A. Kirk Ferentz punted on the answer which was so on brand because everyone knows that Iowa punts to win. So Ferentz is the real winner here. But now the question remains: Has Ferentz ever watched a movie? Or does he just spend every waking breathing second figuring out different ways to kick the snot out of Iowa State? If that's the case, then you just have to tip your cap. Iowa has beaten the Cyclones six years in a row and 10 out of the last 13 times.
