jakeinthevalley Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 #10 Minnesota just trumped #7 Louisville for the first upset in the March Madness. I think using the term "trumped" constitutes a political slant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Marine Layer Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Bradley (#15) could upset Michigan State (#2) but there's lots of time left. It would be nothing like the UMBC (#16) upset of Virginia (#1) last year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesse Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Gone forever because someone was butthurt.I thought Fred just deleted it since he doesn’t like political content on the front page of the weather side. It’s too bad, that was probably the most popular thread I’ve ever started! Even though its orignal purpose was to siphon sports talk away from the main weather thread. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Nina Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 When you're cooking and the water starts to bubble over up and go over the sides, just give it a good blow. The bubbles evaporate and go down, stopping disaster and allowing you time to go grab that canola oil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iFred Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 I dont delete stuff, it's just hidden. I set a rule of no politics and I mean, no politics. I could care less if some of you really want to discuss it here. It isn't a matter of my views on the matter, its that these threads seem to generate more complaints (from very fine people on both sides) than responses. I really want to start encouraging mets and weather journalists to chime in on the forum, and dumpster fire political threads dont help. If you guys really want to discuss, take it to PM or Facebook, but not here. Sports, North Bend drizzle, and gardening are fine though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverFallsAndrew Posted March 24, 2019 Report Share Posted March 24, 2019 A couple wildlife related notes. Driving into Eugene yesterday afternoon there was a herd of about 40-50 elk grazing along I-5 about 3-4 miles north of Eugene just north of the McKenzie River. I knew the Coburg Hills had an elk population, but I had never seen them that close in. There is a new wolf pack in Western Oregon. It is in SE Lane and NE Douglas Counties.

That was one of the more gruesome leg injury since Paul George and Hayward. d**n shame. Get well soon big fella. I'm not a big blazer fan, but hate to see an athlete go through that. One of the reasons I don't follow baseball as much anymore is because all my favorite players seem to get injured on an annual basis... Pretty much every promising pitcher misses 1-2 years of their career with an elbow injury. The nice thing about the NFL is they have figured out a pretty good way to protect their QB's.

On a side note though, if an NBA team is interested in Zion, this is something they should be weary of as well. The kid plays above the rim and he has a lot of upper body mass.
