As a penn state fan, it’s just remarkable how bad Franklin and Allar are in big games. 

I am a PSU guy as well. I am not sure about Allar yet. He is young. Next year will be huge for him. If he doesnt take steps forward they may have to go to the transfer portal after next season.

Allar looks like Joe Montana against the Delawares and Northwesterns and is a total deer in the headlights against the teams that PSU considers peers.

Season ticket holder since 2005 checking in. The opt outs today didn’t help on D, but the lack of a functioning offense in big games in recent years is troubling. There’s also no significant talent at the WR position right now making it even tougher on a “young” QB. I have hope for next year, but that’s really riding on the incoming offensive coordinator changing things up and hopefully some improvement at WR. With the expanded playoff starting next season, Franklin really needs to make it in to keep the fan base on board.

ETA: that’s not to say Franklin hasn’t had success. Winning the Rose, Cotton and Fiesta bowls in recent years was great. Just seems like he’s been teetering on that good/great line and cannot get over the hump.

The squirrels are freaking everywhere.  My 6 and 18 month old pups are a handful on walks.  Some of the idiot squirrels run right in front of them.

That’s just total lack of respect by those squirrels towards your dogs

Lol I've been out again enjoying doing stuff. When I left this morning the board was imploding I come back and the model trends are 75% to where we want them. And here I am thinking raisins in cookies were why I have trust issues it's really the models 

Fugg raisins in cookies.

Some models started showing the possibility of N. Pacific ridging in the long-range, which should effectively end any chance we have of seeing a good winter.  Also, it might snow on the 7th.

Well…since modeling in the long range is very accurate, this sounds like bad news. Might need to go away for another few days and see if things change.

Just some conversations about goose migration patterns. 

No idea what this means, but I’ll allow it.

Same here - they are going nuts (full pun intended) with the hoarding of acorns in our front yard.  Late in the season for that, but they've been hard at it for several days.

Wow, FSU is just plain awful.  They should just forfeit the 2nd half rather than allow UGA to score another 42 or more points.  I say this as an FSU grad (for graduate school).  Honestly, they deserve a triple ass-kicking after some 20 of their players decided to "opt out" of playing in the Orange Bowl, either by going into the NFL draft early or into the "transfer pool."  I get that there's hard feeling after being snubbed for the final 4 playoff teams, but come on, stick with the team for a high-end bowl game rather than deplete what you have and get embarrassed on the field.  Obviously without injured QB Jordan Travis they're not the same team already.  But they surely would have been able to compete and stick with UGA if all those other players didn't run off in the last two weeks.  UGA is playing against a 3rd string team at this point.

Which begs the question...if all the 4 playoff teams end up with one loss, would one actually be able to consider UGA for the Nat'l Champion despite not being in those playoff games?  I'm far from a UGA fan, but you do have to wonder.

For now, I'm all in for Michigan to win it all...Go Blue!!!

All the potential storm stuff still outside my 5 day window of getting interested.  I hope things stay positive for the sake of some here.  

Same. I'm getting out of the business of paying closer attention before then...details jump around way too much at this lead time (especially with storms that are dependent on in how this wave interacts with that one and that other one...lol). Not gonna drive myself crazy with that! The rule of thumb for weekend threats? If it's still there Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning, then watch :lol:

What kind of horse? We own a Clydesdale mix.

Rocky Mountain horses are the breed we train,breed and sell. We are going to KY to pick up a little filly that should be a beast when she’s grown. Also I was going to hit a distillery or two the day before, but if we get snowed in that’s awesome too… I do love draft horses though, such a calm demeanor learning to drive a draft horse is something I’d love to learn to do.

Wife and daughter just asked me when it’s gonna snow. 

I thought about the recent model runs, but I didn’t have the heart to tell them that I’m tracking something. 

I just said “when I see it snowing, I’ll tell you”

This board needed some digital snow. It was getting stale in here to say the least.

I've been telling everyone "not through Jan 15th" (more realistically looks like through the 20th, then we'll probably change).

Coffee lovers….any roasters in the general DMV area you recommend? And any specific roasts worth seeking out? I grind my own beans, so whole bean is preferred. 
 

a recent find that I really liked was the holiday roast from Chesapeake bay roasters based in crofton. Another favorite is the Tanzania Peaberry from Baltimore Coffee Co.

it's REAL funny to me how quiet the debs get once guidance start showing something positive. It only takes one bad cycle for them to return though, stay vigilant out there y'all!!!

This has always been a crisis cardiac, late stage bipolar hobby. I am a snow happy super manic one day til someone posts the SER again then I am one hell of a depressed angry we are all gonna DIE kind of deb. And the whole doggone sub is jumping off of a FIERY ledge, straight into a terrifying white hot dumpster fire in which we are all tearing each other to pieces. And The Reaper dies of a heart attack because he has way too many souls to fookin reap at one time.

Yoda just posted the ICON, N VA missed out. Damn. Here I phuckin' go again. I should have known......... What was I even thinking? It's the G.D. base state.

And, down, down, DOWN! goes the entire sub, by tomorrow morning Tracker has to shut down the thread. Hell of a fight, WWIII even, in the sub. Over model runs. Just as I was starting to have a little hope. Just a little hope...... Look, I kept my expectations on a HELL of a SHORT leash, I expected a car topper in Dale City on 1/7. Dashed to DEATH, on the Rocks, by the phuckin' ICON. Stormchaser Chuck and I go fifteen rounds over the validity of the frackin' weeklies and that sets off the WAR (no pun intended), Chuck whoops my sorry old man 8ss.

It's high time for an EPIC deb Manifesto.......
