    … and for a suitable warm up to tomorrows showdowns…

    tonight we have Desert Storm II….

    #2 Arizona v. the unranked Woodchuckers from Arizona State University…

    game starts at 9:00est… will be over by halftime… so no one will have to stay up late for the finish…
    unless they just watching enjoy HWSNBN wallow in misery…

    Those who are accustomed to doing so…
    can complain all night about the refs tonight and no one will get upset.

    ^… yes it could…

    Ya’ll just remember that Mr. Dog, without hesitation, predicted a double digit PACK victory… immediately after the fiasco in Orange County — Saturday before last…

    And we can count on one hand the number of times… Mr. Dog is wrong.

    … more fuel to the fire…

    This year’s Team is an interesting mix of guys, some of whom need to learn how to do “less with more” and some others who need to learn how to do “more with less”…

    Balancing that is a Coaching challenge if there ever was one.

    Reviewing the ‘bad games’….

    In November and December …
    the ‘less with more’ guys did not show up… while the ‘more with less’ guys played better than expected…. all season.

    In January and February …
    the ‘less with more’ guys brought too much to the game… esp. the one in Chapel Hill, while some of the ‘more with less’ guys have stepped up, others have more or less disappeared…

    In the ‘good games’ … everybody did their part… especially the last two.

    So… what happens between now and the end of this season?
    Nobody really knows.

    That said, my best thinking is …. the tracks are set.

    The ‘less with more’ guys will continue to improve… and so will those ‘more with less’ who have been improving.

    Those ‘more with less’ guys who have basically disappeared will not be heard from except on rare occasion.

    All of which bodes very nicely for next season.

    This season… the dance is well within our grasp.

    Coach-ing v. Coach-ability….
    Mental preparation, Court judgement and BB-IQ….
    that’s what we’ve been talking about.

    But I can tell the difference between a talented team that is on the cusp of putting it all together, and a crap team that has reached a plateau, I’ve seen enough of those over the years.

    … and this year’s team definitely ain’t one of those year’s teams…

    Wolf82… you GOTTa at least agree… that this year’s team is a better team with more potential than last year’s team…

    I’ll betcha a buck right now…. that by the end of the season… this year’s team will be 30-50% better than they are right now…
    They have turned the corner and will strong… if injuries and some external craziness doesn’t stop them/

    twenty years ago .. I had the ‘perfect’ place on the farm to put a small hydro plant…
    same deal… all the power I ever needed for free and steady source of income from the sale of the excess produced back to CP&L.

    Project went in the trash can when I figured out that I had to spend an amount equal to the total construction costs with lawyers and an another equal amount with ‘consultants’….

    Just couldn’t make myself do that.

    yogi.. thanks… that plant probably had it origins back with the predecessors of Fieldcrest…. and had been there a lot longer than fifty years…..

    … yep…. and I bet the the problem was that those ponds (all the coal plants have them) were built on low lying areas adjacent to man made lakes where alluvial soils and the elevations of the surrounding areas made containment by today’s standards an issue forty or fifty years ago when those plants were built….

    all you have to do ask some people who been living around those lakes most all their lives to tell some stories…
    if they are not already dead from cancer.

    while it’s included in very small doses in most multi-vitamin tablets… selineium is a strong poison.

    … more evidence of today’s climate and stupidity…

    somebody at this table is making a big mistake….
    60% of everything currently viewed on cable will be viewed wireless in five years or less…..

    http://www.wral.com/comcast-to-buy-time-warner-cable-for-45-billion/13388368/

    cable wires… will be just like southern bell telephone lines before you know it.

    what’s that old saying…. ‘a fool and his money… ?

    ^yogi… yep… I GOTT that much… CP&L has put the kabash on the exact location as least with respect to the public…. nobody I know has seen them.

    I am very familiar with the area and the big coal plants to the East… but don’t remember another smaller plant… was it east or west of Eden ??

    So did the hole freeze over?

    ’57…. well… it GOTT cold enough to cancel a basketball game….
    but folks in Wilkes County and surrounds are just laughing at the thermometer….

    speaking of that section…. exactly where did the ash spill start??
    I’ve been looking for a map but can’t find that….

    re: “global warming”….

    All I am sure of is this….

    1. temperatures are cyclical within any time period — long or short —
    2. the longer time period — the more difficult it is to determine the trend because of the ‘interference’ in the data from shorter term cycles.
    3. not all time period temperature cycles move in the same direction

    4. who knows where we stand with current temperatures vis a vis the long term trend
    5. regardless of all that… it does appear that weather, including temperatures, has been more volitle with higher highs and lower lows in more places in recent years…

    More importantly…. some people find all this to be an excellent occasion to try to move some big money around.

    Speaking of Uncle Roy…
    I’m hearing too versions of last night’s story…

    1, Dook chickened out and is playing the weather to their advantage…

    2, Holes chickened out because their normally rowdy fans couldn’t get to the Dome…

    Either way… /dumbbA%%dickie ain’t leaving town for a week now… and that should be alot of fun for the Holes….
