Damn.  That's pretty cool.  Definitely the most impressive weather website Iv'e seen.

That was a cool but frustrating website.  No matter what I click on, it still indicates it's cold as F***.

Side note...Ken Siemek was my little league baseball coach when I was about 11 or 12 years old. First year of steel cleats and he taught us how to clear the guy off the bag by sliding with one foot up about crotch high 

For comparison, Keystone got 55" of snow.....in the last 7 days.

This has been a rough year here in Omaha and reminds me when I lived in the Spokane WA area. 2008-2009 was the snowiest season I’ve experienced. We were, I think, 1/10th of an inch shy of breaking the season record with about 93” of snow. Record 30-day snowfall of 62”, record 19” of snow in 24hrs, and received 36” in the week...people cross-country skiing through the city. Completely buried my car lol. 

Prince was an absolute amazing artist.  He was so much more than some recording artists that are given songs and they just perform.

Prince was quirky.   I think that turned him off to some.   There was no denying his ability on the guitar.   Some of the great guitarists tend to overplay.   You could argue that Prince underplayed his guitar.

Father Cornelius from The Fifth Element, too. 

Wait, he was in Alien, the Fifth Element, AND Lord of the Rings?  Damn, those are some of my favorite movies.

I had to Google it to see if it was the former Iowa coach or Craig T. Nelson (Hayden Fox from Coach). Fry...Fox. Gimme a break here.

The inventor of one of the greatest offensive features of days gone by - the stand up tight end

Excelsior.

Jesus H, I came to the board and thought Stanley was dead. 

Regardless, Rest in Peace indeed. 

Legend. R.I.P.

I think he's just misunderstood.

Man Ritchie.  Not again.

Does this mean we're relevant again?

Loved his SNL skits!

One of the good ones in reference to what?

Judoka-In reference to acting.  His style was refreshing and he did a nice job of creating believable characters. 

Nope just my murdered out SS 

65 is far too young, but particularly too young for an iconic talent like that.

@Enhance the way Eddie looked about 10 years ago, I am actually surprised that he lasted to 65.  It's far too young, but with his tongue cancer and lifestyle of cigs, booze, and other drugs, it's a miracle he lasted to 65.

My grandfather said he was the smoothest runner and best athlete he'd ever seen.

One of the best speeches in cinema. Hauer largely ad-libbed it, too. 

You beat me to it Knappic! So sad to hear of his death. Of course Ladyhawke is one of my favorite movies. 

It's a shame he won't live. But then again, who does?

And since this song includes that line...

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!

Bret Bielema apparently has interest in the position

He explicitly said "all of them".

Knappic it will be interesting to see if Chris Froome rides this year.  There are rumors that he could be banned because of a disagreement about the asthma drug he uses.  He has a known asthma condition so I don't know why all of a sudden he gets banned?  

@ladyhawke

Even with a known condition he has to get an exemption and it looks like he never got one. There's two reasons for that - his condition hasn't been shown to be so debilitating that he needs the meds or he & his team have been lax and just not gotten it.  I can't imagine the latter being the case with a world-class cyclist/cycling team.  My guess is he's mildly asthmatic and is using the meds as a permissible PDE. Hate to say that, but if this is your job & your life, you get that certificate. Right?

I agree Knappic.  The sport of cycling, unfortunately, has been tainted for a long time.  I think most people knew Lance was doping but he still had to train and he still had to know how to handle the bike. He deserved what he got especially since he lied for so long (I especially feel sorry for his son. The kid defended his Dad to the end then had to find out Lance lied. So sad. ). Lance brought such a heightened awareness to cycling and it would have been so great to have his take of the Tour along with Phil, Paul and Bobke.  (Lance does have a podcast during the tour. )

Not too many of these special Leathernecks left.  Very instrumental in winning the war in the Pacific. S/F

Heh, that's a coincidence.  I was just thinking about the Code Talkers yesterday.  I was reading about the Hopi fifth world prophecy, and started wondering whether the Hopi language is more indecipherable than Navajo language.  The Hopi and Navajo tribes live in about the same area, in NW Arizona near four corners.  

  Thank you for your service !

Personally, I believe this should count as a forfeit.

So, what we can say is the "bad" luck will eventually turn to "good" luck, yes?

@MLB 51 Yeah... for Kevin Warren!

Can we keep the misogyny in the Woodshed, please?

There won't be a college football season this year. A lot of college athletic programs are going to suffer.

Making fun of poor attendance is misogyny?  Classic!

PLEASE can we schedule them!

They would still find a way to beat us.

We fired Bo

UNL was cancelled once when I was there 76 - 81.  Had to climb 8 ft snow drifts to get to the bars.

@ZRod. 7 years? Go to class,  man. Damn!

Everything except the big grey dots covering responses here.  

But, I agree.  It takes a lot of work and anytime something like this happens there are going to be glitches that need worked out.

Seems like the tweet-shrinking is gone too 

That @GSG guy is still able to post here so, was it REALLY an upgrade? 

But yeah, shout out to the crew 

 I'm too young to know about the others but Suh should have been a winner. Him not winning pretty much stamped the trophy as nothing more than a charade for the top team's top offensive players, not the best player in the country.

@ZRod IMVHO, Suh not winning when he was clearly the best player is what has led to the dwindling interest in the award. Ratings are down and it's not moving the needle with anyone anymore. There was a thread on Reddit a week or two ago about the Heisman and fans from all kinds of different teams cited that moment as when they lost interest.

@knapplc Agreed. There is something seriously wrong when one candidate single handedly destroys another's campaign in a single game and still finished behind him in voting. Whatever, I really don't care about the award anymore.

I feel ya. I often wonder why I have one but then we'll get an 8" or 12" snowfall and then I'll remember why.

Don't want to sound like a communist but --- get 4 -6 people in your neighborhood to go together and buy ONE snowblower.  Then share

This did an ok job for a small area, if you're not far from an outside outlet.  https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lawn-and-garden/snow-removal-and-equipment/snow-blowers/75310?x429=true&cid=CAPLA:G:Shopping_-_Snow_Throwers/Accs&k_clickid=52e1417f-1825-4d72-9ff8-0ca1468ffd47&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIvLm0jJ333AIVxYuzCh169AYwEAQYAiABEgL75PD_BwE
