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

aggies are funny

funny strange

If you took a random person on-site at a nuclear plant and asked them to point out exactly where the reactor is, you'd be there all day.

These two units are the only power units under construction in the US.  The location of the power reactors to me looks pretty obvious.

South Texas Nuclear Plant, one of Texas' two nuclear power plants and the closest to Austin, uses a large cooling reservoir instead of towers.

Somewhat similar for me.

The CFB/NFL overlap for me is football pretty much all the time. Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. With Tues/Weds having a lot to do regarding managing a fantasy football team.

I obviously care about college basketball, but I don't make any games other than Purdue "appointment viewing", and I'll even time-shift a Purdue game if I've got something else going on. But that's maybe 4 hours a week, until we get into conference and NCAA tournament time.

So yeah, I don't have much else to watch right now. Usually throw on golf during the work day on Thur/Fri, but that's just background noise really.

For as common as it is for a number of us to have our calendar year split between a Football Season Social life and an Offseason social life, there doesn’t seem to be a deserved general awareness of this. 

Football completely takes care of my social life starting Labor Day through the Holidays. There are so many longtime but “too busy”-to-see-me friends from college or previous cities I’ve lived in that I can finally see again at tailgates. Organizing a college football weekend to, say, Ames or Tempe, always brings a lot of buddies together. And of course we end up being more connected through our fantasy leagues or betting strategies than by anything else we might have in common. Football season also gives us something to converse and vent about when simple conversing and venting is more of the point than the object we’re conversing and venting about. Kinda like hosting our own therapeutic sports talk radio show.

For many men I think football season IS their social life.

Heading into the offseason I end up piecemealing a new Social Life mostly without any of my football friends: local Arizona alumni events, card games at my coworker’s game store, monthly volunteer work through church, Saturday hiking, Book Clubs, more work trips where I can catch up with a number of my Portland coworkers, hosting other friend’s visits to Southern California and showing them around, not to mention picking up my time in the gym and expanding my ongoing journaling and writing projects.

Yeah Big Air is fun to watch.

I also like the craziness of Snowboard Cross.  They were just doing preliminary solo runs when I watched last night, but when they get 4 -6 snowboarders all hitting that course at the same time, jumping around, slamming into each other, it's a lot of fun to watch.

Speaking of snowboard cross, Lindsey Jacobellis finally shed that weight she'd been toting around for 16 years.
