Great overview! Thanks.
The tourney is going to be wide open.
I'm 100% with you on the working from home angle. Throw in a dash of "I have a rear wheel drive car" and looks like I'm in the recliner all day
It has already been scheduled on facebook for Saturday at 2pm!
Middle Peninsula here, we don't want no stinkin' snow. We still got some around from the other day. We live on a private lane that nobody plows and a decent snow just makes for a big mess. Besides that, nobody knows how to drive in the stuff.
1994 JEEP Wrangler here with 33X12.50 Yokohama Geolander AT/S and they are hands down the best snow tire out there. I had to run the wife all over Roanoke in 13" of snow thinking I was in 4WD when low and behold i got stuck in a 3' drift and upon inspection my pressure switch was hangin loose under the hood. I plugged it back in and pulled right out in 4WD. I kicked it back into 2WD just for shits and giggles and more of the same. Never slipped or drifted. Its a 4 banger so I wasn't muscling my way around. They are calling for 16"-26" here in the valley so lets get it on!
Interesting
In Ford (late 2000's) AWD vehicles, like my Edge are 2WD and only switch to AWD when slip is detected.

I've had a few 4WD vehicles in my days of living in the mountains and towing boats, and I never saw any better truck in the snow than the '96 Dodge shortbed 1500 that I had until I moved away. The clearance was a good part of it, but the shorter wheel base was another big thing. I could climb a tree in the 4 Low granny gear, and I pulled several vehicles out of tough situations that had them stuck when I wasn't. When in Utah one year, I noticed the forest service had gone to that same truck for their back country patrols, for maneuverability and clearance reasons. Thing was a joy to own, usually, and I kept it for 13 years. Yeah, when things would be really dicey with deep snow, I'd add some firewood in the back to give it weight, but I lived on a gravel road off of a steep incline, and if anyone could get out for beer, it was me. Not sure what I'd drive today if I were to go back to a 4WD vehicle, but at the time, that Ram got me into and back out of anything I needed it to except for the one time I got hung up on a rock in my creek and had to beg for a neighbor's tractor to haul it out. That was on me, though.
AC represent y'all!
But it's also my favorite Guitar Hero song of all time.
They will be in heart and spirit.
I'm probably missing an inside joke, but here goes; ugh folks, Isn't Chick fil A closed on Sundays?
He forgot Step #0... have God given talent!
It finally comes full circle
You guys are to kind
Granted, DW4 was gifted with incredible talent but it's not like he just woke up one day and was able to do back-flips. He worked hard at developing strength and flexibility over a long period of time. It's exactly the same for someone who worked out consistently vs someone else with identical physical characteristics who never worked out and ate junk food all the time. The guy who worked out is going to be more athletic than the couch potato.
LOL
I know you're being TIC here (at least I think you are) but all the "Durkin/Click/Rogers" notions miss the point of what a backup QB does as compared to a wildcat QB.
Whoever gets the nod as the backup QB in '16 is going to see the field. You need a QB to run the base offense, and who goes in when QB1 comes out. A wildcat QB has a specific package of plays and are typically sent into the game in specific situations for a calculated reason. They aren't expected to be ready to go under center at a moment's notice.
The only way Durkin or Click or Rogers comes in if QB1's helmet comes off if if they're QB2.
Most likely Evans or Lawson will win the job and Motley will be backup, and there will be nothing to worry about. But if Motley goes straight HAM and wins the job outright, somebody's losing a year of eligibility that we could probably use later.
"No, no, no see you're doing it wrong, see you're being more of an out-of-shape diabetic in your upper 20s, you need to be more like David Wilson, be younger and just dont have diabetes this time and youll get it..."
Yeah I love my Tacoma. They're great 4WD vehicles. I have the 4 door with a short bed so the front-to-back weight distribution is better than most pick-ups (about 56-44) though it's no BMW. The Tacoma has 10" 11.5" of ground clearance under the front skid-plate and about 9.3" under the rear differential. Without looking it up I'm guessing your BMW probably has about 3.5" of clearance...lol. Not all Tacomas have locking differentials, though. I have the TRD Off Road Package which offers a true mechanical locker on the rear axle (which is really all you need for most situations) and an electronic "modified" locker on the front. It's not a true locker but it works effectively the same way at low speeds. Jeep Wranglers are the only vehicles I know of off hand that still have solid front axles and mechanical lockers on both axles. They're not as comfortable to ride in but they're supposed to be more stout for off-road conditions. The shorter wheel-base is another advantage the Wranglers have. I would take a Tacoma over a Jeep every day of the week and twice on Sundays though. More reliable and less prone to breaking. Everyone I know who has owned a jeep and put more than 50K miles on it has had some issue with it. My truck, knock on wood, hasn't given me any serious problems and I've put almost 135K miles on it. Plus I can haul more stuff in the bed of my truck than you can in a jeep. For instance, last night on my way home from work I stopped to pick up a truck-load of firewood ahead of this snow storm we're getting. Couldn't have done that in a Jeep :P
The key word is "should."
Ours is the 2-door normal cab with the faux back seats. Its also the TRD off road package and I think has a Tacoma lift kit or something because it has extra clearance off the ground than the normal Tacoma. It was basically built for driving in snow and mud. I've never gotten stuck and believe you me, I've tried :)
lol, great pic!
the TE from Georgia (I think) did that to us a few years ago...transferred from VT to Vandy after the EE semester.
it is doubtful but it is also one of the advantages of a HS senior enrolling early...getting a free test drive at the new school for a semester. none of this sitting on the bench, stuck at a school/staff you aren't happy with, then transferring, then sitting out. its more like an annulment, you transfer immediately, and then redshirt year one like you probably would have anyway.

apparently also got a waiver to play immediately because of the shooting
This looks vaguely familiar.
Double post, drink.
I love these overly-simplifed 'how to' things that have come up since the dawning of the 'content marketing' fad..
Step 1. Wake up a more explosively athletic person than you were the day before
Step 2. Dont be stiff like a board, you need to be flexible like a rubber band. Restructure your muscle tissues to be more inline with one of an elite athletes.
Step 3. Have a greater body awareness than you've ever previously had
Step 4. Jump and let steps 1 through 3 take-over.
Easy! Youre now on your way to becoming an NFL/Olympic Athlete!
