Devin Smith did more for Cardale than anyone. We are REALLY missing that dude. Devin made Cardale look good on a bunch of throws.

Wow, 11w would normally scoop something like that, but I see nothing on there about it. Nice.

Where are you seeing this?

Yeah, that shit is flat out BROKEN. Higher education is more crooked than the mob ever was, and more connected.

Tommy Schutt is done for at least a few weeks. Broken Wrist. I know he wasn't killing it this year, but you hate to see a kid's career potentially end that way. Hopefully he'll be back for the last few games.

Could not agree more with this whole post. Dude is a Buckeye Legend for life, at the very least.

Agreed. I might (MIGHT) have been ok with the unis if we had gone with the green stickers. The red just looked....Well, like Tilley said, like "vette guy".

Alright, we made it, now, can we burn those godawful uniforms please?

Would an EJ20 fit?

Be CR, complain about "big ass", "slab sides", "weight"...and "windows". Be Aaron, only read the windows part. Also, race with the car in "R". Also, seem not to understand that side and rear visibility would probably be as, if not more, important to someone "cruising to and from work and putting around town".

You mutherfuckers could bitch about anything.

The same way Bama lost to Ole Miss, but curbstomped UGA. (Ole Miss LOL)

Agree. I think that Hackenberg get sacked 5 times. Hell, he might not finish the game.

Hater in the house.

Ditto this. Breaking things is just an excuse to get something cooler. :-)

Depends. They would for you or I, but all they add is an expense to some other families. Additionally, if you didn't purchase, but instead signed a lease, the leasing company may very well come and take them back.:thumbdown

I literally thought the same exact thing as I was looking at those pics. LOL But seriously, if that's the case, then that makes me go :no:, and then :dumb:, and then when I think about how much money it must have cost to do it that well, it makes me go :fuuuu:

Not everyone plans on living in their home for the rest of their lives, Jess.

There are other factors in the equation as well, as far as that argument goes. Let's just pretend for a second that *POOF* all power for America is generated via renewables. Ta Da! Ok, so, now that that is accomplished, let's talk reliability. Just to throw around some very generic numbers, let's say that a utility in Ohio has a round the clock minimum demand of 1MW (or 1000kW). We'll say that they have solar assets that can produce 750kW at peak, wind assets that produce 250kW at peak, and hydro assets that produce 100kW at peak. So, they have assets that can produce 1100kW, allowing them to export some extra power, and make some more loot, sounds like a good deal, right? Maybe not. If they have a PEAK demand of over that (and they WILL), they will need to find that power somewhere else. Probably by importing it. So, let's then go further to say that this utility has a peak overall demand of 1300kW. Which means that, if they are at peak, and all three assets are producing at peak, they will have to import 200kW. Probably not an untenable position, but one that they would prefer to rectify if possible, as power is at its most expensive to buy during these hours. But wait, it's even less simple than that. Peak hours typically occur between 3 and 6 in the afternoon. Hottest time of the day + everyone getting home and flipping on the A/C. Fortunately, that is when two of this companies three assets are producing at or around peak. But what happens when the sun goes down? Ok, so now, if they have super-efficient solar concentrators, the solar asset goes from 750kW production, to around 250kw…on a night with a bright moon. The good news is that the wind will blow more in the evenings as the earth cools, so the wind asset will produce at peak into the night. Alright, so it’s 9pm, and we’re back to our round the clock minimum demand of 1MW. We now have solar assets producing 250kW, wind producing 250kW, and hydro producing 100kW. We are now, in off-peak hours, producing 600kW to provide for our 1MW load. Importing again, thankfully during the less expensive off peak hours this time. So, what is a green utility to do? Well, you could increase capacity. Install more generating assets than what you would “need”. That will cost you quite a bit in initial outlay, but you might be able to recoup that if you take a long term view. But what about days when the peak is low, and you are producing far more than you are using? Well, you can export…but if renewables are outproducing usage in your region, than they probably are in the surrounding regions as well. So, the export price is likely to be cheap. And now you have assets that are costing you money to maintain, but aren’t producing anything with enough value to sell. Beginning to see the issue? Renewables are, for the most part, out of our control. You can’t flip on or off the sun, or a river, or the wind. They produce when they produce, and that’s that. Could you STORE the energy during the times when you overproduce in order to use when you underproduce? With today’s battery technology, good luck. It will cost you a mint to build the capacity you would need, and upkeep it. Battery tech will have to come a long way before this is feasible at the utility scale. As things are now, we are always going to need a power source that we control. Something we can turn on and off, regardless of the time of day or the weather conditions. The most feasible, efficient, and “renewable-esque” resource that we have to fill that role is Nuclear. Until we find a way to store large amounts of power in a smaller, cheaper way…we’re going to be beholden to using natures way of storing it, chemically. Which means fossil fuels. And that’s not good for anyone.

LeRetard is the worst show on sports radio...ever...anywhere.

If you rush for 166 yards more than your opponent, you are supposed to win. That is ridiculous.

I love that "Bama over TAMU" is being considered an "upset".

A fast reactor directly uses the fast neutrons emitted by fission, without moderation. Unlike thermal neutron reactors, fast neutron reactors can be configured to "burn", or fission, all the actinides in a fuel substance. Given enough time, they could drastically reduce the amount of actinides in spent nuclear fuel produced by the present world fleet of thermal nueron light water reactors, thus closing the nuclear fuel cycle. Alternatively, if configured differently, they can also breed more actinide fuel than they consume. So, it can operate on waste fuel, OR it can be used to create fuel, which it would then burn (creating more energy then it used to create the fuel). It's really quite fascinating, and I'm sure that I am WAY oversimplifying.

Net metering means that you won't be able to sell back to the grid, for those of you who haven't heard the term. Which means that having the battery system becomes more valuable, as any kWh used "behind the fence" is worth full value, and not the pittance that they would pay you for exporting it to the grid. Well, J, I would have someone come out and do an estimate for you. Maybe it would be worth it for you, especially since you are getting fucked right now.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that, we played well against the shitty opponents, and had a more difficult time with the tougher ones on this list. Seems fairly normal to me. Night games tend to be against more difficult opponents, as they are higher profile games. That our record in those games is worse than his overall record isn't that much of a surprise. *dies
