No bowl game... again. I'm OK with that. When the team plays like they have this season, the less they take the field, the better.

Congrats to the Gophers. Big win.

Congratulations to these guys who are getting close to a viable ocean plastic cleanup system and already deployed a few systems to capture plastics at river source.

Maybe they thought the plastic was washing out to sea. What the OceanCleanup guys found was the mass of the plastic accumulated in the gyre didn't have near the amount of plastic known to be discharged into the ocean. Based on the dates of some plastics found in the gyre they didn't think the plastics were being broken down into microplastics and forming a smog that was theorized. They believe that after a few years it washes ashore and a small fraction escapes into the ocean currents and into the gyre. They may not be s#itting where they sleep but where their neighbor sleeps. I know in the PI people are getting a lot more conscious of plastic pollution. My wife and I sponsored a local beach cleanup which they had been conducting for a few years and they are making a huge effort to clean up Manila Bay.

@4skers89 The problem is, once the trash is ground up and pelletized, there aren't a lot of products that use them. Every time you recycle a plastic, it loses it's physical properties. So, virgin material is cheaper AND it makes a better product.
If I bought a load of recycled product, I have absolutely no clue what kind of quality I'm getting. If I get virgin material, I know the exact cell classification, how it's going to process and the quality of the product that's going to come out the other end. The types of plastics are an issue too. Every type of plastic has certain properties that make it for a specific use. You can't make a sewer pipe out of pop bottles. You also can't make food or medical grade products out of the trash.

I thought this electric car looked interesting. Single seat, three wheel, 100 mile range, 85 mph, $15k. Not sure how it would do in snow being rear (single) wheel drive but it’s made by Canadian company.

@man eating mastodonI saw on the news with windchill that part of MN will be like -52, Vegas is literally going to be over 100 degree's warmer than MN today.

High temp of -15 and low of -22 coming Wed. That's cold.

Out of curiousity I counted 3 NE boys on NDSU's roster which includes their starting QB Easton Stick and 16 on SDSU's roster. I didn't know there was a Saint Helena, NE.

I was trying to figure out how they kept the yard lines, hash marks and yard line numbers clear of snow in Washington game. I thought they had heaters buried in the field until I figured out Fox was doing it.

Les Miles at Kansas would be interesting. Need to get the Mad Hatter back on the field.
-
You don't really notice Northwestern when they play but they don't make a lot of mistakes and make just enough plays. By the end of the game you realize they can win it. They're a real sidler!
