Illinois has a history of not only playing well but winning at the Beav. No way I'd take PSU at 18. But I don't gamble and I'm extremely cautious by nature.
Regardless of how many named storms, regardless of how many reach hurricane status, regardless of how many make landfill on USA soil...this is quickly turning into a tropical season that will be remembered for how damaging it was.

So ironic and disgusting that Davis had that built, destroying the view of the Oakland hills in the background, and then HE tarped it anyway because he couldn't sell the seats for Raiders games.
I'm with you. And that's why I feel the way that I do. It's disgusting to see what certain owners have done to destroy sports franchises.
I've been watching live coverage today on some of the Bay area channels. It's going to be interesting...they have police coming in from pretty much every county in northern CA.
The game has been sold out for months. (though, they did not remove the tarps on Mt. Davis so the crowd figures to be around 45,000 instead of the 58,000 they pulled in for the Wild Card game a few years back when they opened up the entire stadium.)
Devastating flooding is imminent in the high country. My heart goes out to all in the storm's path.
My heart today is also sad for the people of Oakland. Today is the final home game ever for the A's, and today marks the 3rd major sports franchise to leave the city in 5 years. First it was the Warriors heading across the bay to SF, then the Raiders bolted for Sin City and now the A's will follow them after a brief stint in Sacramento. I remember vividly losing the Colts in March 1984 and I can't begin to imagine going through the loss of 3 teams in such short order. Sad.
