Bo knows. One of my all time favorites, he gave Duck fans everything we could have ever wanted. If he'd had a better coach he would have easily won the Heisman and a title last year. He deserved it. A real bummer. I don't like Oregon's chances in a rematch against Ohio State. Conference title games in the playoff era are a dumb money grab. Just an extra week for players to get hurt.

I like the looks of the EPS for sure. Keep trending that way models.

At least a little something to smile about on the weeklies today. This is 7 day mean of the control (operational ECMWF) in early Jan. Some support on the mean as well.

I have a friend that is a lineman…I completely agree with you. They are having to hike into some areas and manually climb the poles where they can’t get the trucks into to perform the repairs. It takes time with this amount of massive damage. I cannot even fathom a Columbus storm repeat…A 4-5 day outage would look like a cakewalk compared to what would be weeks.

December 2005 was incredibly blocky nationally and deep-EPO until the 20th or so. Then the Pacific woke up with a vengeance and stayed very angry for 8 weeks.
