Yea, things could definitely change. Just surprised that ESPN is not making more of a fuss about it. They just have a link saying it is being discussed.

But again, nothing official and I assume it has to do with everything involving Player Eligibility moving forward to Revenue and to whether they play in the Spring. It is not just an easy thing to cancel but I think all conferences need to be on the same page with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itstrainingtime Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 I am a HUGE Penn State football fan, I live and die with them and give the Orioles a run for my favorite sports team, period. I was already down on football this fall because what makes Penn State special was already going to be missing - 106,572 fans tailgating and cheering like none other. Even Kirk Herbstreit has gone on record as saying that a PSU football home game cannot be duplicated anywhere else in the country, which I'm sure went over really well in Columbus. Having football in an empty or nearly empty Beaver Stadium would have been depressing. Just can it altogether I say. Back to the weather - 93 here now. Forecast high was 92. Here we go again... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showers hopefully give respite from the oppressive heat and could help to "cool" us off a bit as we approach the weekend. If one takes GFS verbatim, it looks downright wet and showery Thurs/Fri. In looking at 12Z GFS was surprised that it cut WAYYY back on qpf from 6Z. 3-4" less by Sunday night from 6Z to 12Z. Euro basically shows no rain. Not doing meteorology just looked at the QPF maps.

Not doing meteorology just looked at the QPF maps. yes, it did, but the general theme of showery weather seems to still be in the offing during that period, and that's all I'm looking at. I dont need to see purples IMBY to see raindrops. That's all I'm saying, and if that holds true, it is a way to beat back some heat. Like with others, that is a win for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
