Iets go cards!

done and good luck.

USC lost to Arizona state and UCLA is losing to Utah...and USCe just lost to Kentucky. Carnage this weekend for sure. Auburn looks to be hitting their stride.

Holy crap today has been nuts...I know it is early, but I wouldn't want to be on that playoff committee.

Great comback by the redbirds...and held on for the win. Sure didn't think 19 runs would be scored with those two pitchers.

Another close game last night. Between that game and Oregon getting upset by Arizona it was a late night for me...paying for it today!

I always record the next program during a big game...just in case!

I have caught a decent amount on my fly rod...all accidently of course. I have caught two on Wolly Bugger...that was odd. My buddy catches them on a trout park gut fly....at a local pond....bunches of them.

Nice catch Mic. Always a blast to catch a Cat on fly rod!

Congrats to the Royals fans. Great comeback and exciting game to watch. I can't help but be bit nostalgic as a long time friend and biggest Royals fan I new passed away this summer...I am sure he is smiling this morning. I still can't believe Yost yanked Shields so quick...

Nothing makes me happier than wstching the Patriots get deystroyed. Well done KC.

I kinda think the future is pretty bright and Bret will build a good program. Depth is always the hardest the first couple years of a rebuild. They seem further along than I thought they would be this year and the SEC West is ridiculously loaded this year.

Joe is an interesting guy for sure! I think every storm is the "one" for the east coast.

I think MU is probably 50/50 for almost every game on their schedule with the exception of KY and Vanderbilt. Still really hard to figure out. Are we a young team that will get better or a mediocre team that is prone to struggle. Defense made improvements and the secondary looked pretty good except for one big play. Offense is still an enigma.

Sorry! I am a bit of a weather enthusiast and get a bit carried away...and then ramble on probably boring everyone to death.

That is great question....with the East appearing to be a bit down you could make the case a 3-4 loss team winning the SEC championship form the East would not deserve to go, but honestly who else would you put in? It would be a hot mess for sure. I still don't think we have seen the best of Mizzou at all, and it was tough to watch the offense struggle so much, but Mauk had no one to throw to all game and when he did he was off. Lee was in the wrong spot several times, Sasser was doubled most of the game. Leftwich was covered on almost every play until his catch. It is tough to do much with rookie wide receivers in already average at best receiving unit. The biggest problem is Mauk does not see downfield well at all. Did anyone else notice on the last two drives he was dropping back a bit deeper in the pocked? I am not sure what they can do, but he has to find away to see the field better. If he does the ceiling could be pretty high for his career. We still don't really now what we have this year....could go in so many different directions.

Yea, this is consistent with the information I have read as well. It would be fine if there were large enough bass to eat them, but that is not happening. The C/R regulations only compound the problem. I am hoping for a hard freeze that will kill some Shad off, because it is one sweet looking piece of water that is under producing. A pond just up the road with no shad has produced several 18 inch bass in the few hours I fished it. No Shad in that one.

It looks like at this point in time a west based weak EL Nino will form, with warm waters and a large ride off the coast of Alaska, and a large ridge (blocking) setting up near Greenland. If that happens It will be very cold hear as the artic air will settle this way as we will be in between the two. A weak El Nino means an active sub tropical jet (which has been non existent the last few years contributing to drought in Southern California and weak northern wave storms for the Midwest), but the ridging to the east and west will keep the warm air away from us. An active subtropical jet usually brings us our biggest storms. With down stream blocking (ridging) setting up near Greenland (this was absent last year which allowed for a cold, but progressive pattern) both the cold and stormy weather should become more entrenched. If this pattern would continue to hold it could be very cold and snowy and even the south could get in some action. Lot's can change between now and then, and it usually does but the signals have been slowly trending in this direction for months. It is possible we could revisit the "epic" winters from the late 70's for winters. It is very rare for a pattern like this to develop, but it one that has lots of potential for cold and snow in the Midwest. Again a lot can change...should be a fun one to follow.

Tough loss for the razorbacks...thst fake punt was awesome. You guys have a good team in a very tough division

I don't know how MU just won that game, but I will take it. Payback from last year I guess. East is wide open.

Cool stuff. That centipede is ridiculously huge!

That is a beaut! Nicely done and great pic joe.

Nicely done....streamer fishing is one of my favorite ways to fish. It is mostly dry's and streamer for me. I always struggle nymph fishing for some reason, but it is a confidence thing. Ever thought about fishing the Missouri for smallmouths in Montana? I hear there are some nice ones out in the prairie and I don't think they get much pressure.

yep, we are just a bunch of parasites ruining the planet.

Yeah, he has reputation for sure. I was trying to think of someone that would make a splash that might be willing to turn the program around. I am not sure if he will ever get a shot at coaching again. He is actually the president at Youngstown state, which I found a bit surprising. You guys can hang with Texas this weekend....
