Yeah, lived through that storm this afternoon around 4:00 PM. Have a friend with a 65 ft tree on his house... and Doc Brown ain’t getting back to 1985 any time soon...




That is / was College Church in Wheaton. South side of campus (where the Church is) through to Glen Ellyn (next town over) is a war zone. Three blocks north and we have a few branches down. Either a tornado or path of microbursts came through on a straight line a couple of blocks south of us.

Hope it died out before it got to you guys in Ohio.

Yeah, I saw how bad that was in Iowa and Illinois. It did lose a lot of it's punch as it crossed in to Ohio. The northern part of it pretty much fell apart. Not sure what happened farther south, but I'm about 30 miles west of Toledo, about half way between there and the Indiana line, and all that happened here was it got a little windy ahead of the storms, and those didn't amount to much. We did get hit with one of these back in 2012 or 13, it was the one when the term 'Derecho" became a buzzword. We had a lot of damage and it looked like a Tornado had gone through even though it was straight line winds that did the damage. Hope everybody over your way is safe!

I haven't followed the NHL all that closely, but if I am not mistaken, by creating Covid free "bubbles" they have been able to play free of any problems thus far. College football absolutely CAN create such a bubble for it's teams. Yes, it would require staying at the Woody full time (or the Fawcett center or some combination of them, I suppose) throughout the season. Yes, one bad apple spoils the lot. But... let's not kid ourselves, during the season, these guys are pretty much always at the Woody anyway. As for classes... they can certainly go to classes just like the rest of the student body.... on line. It would seem the players and coaches are willing to get into a bubble to salvage the season. I know there is additional support staff that would have to get on board too, but, it seems to me there is every possibility of creating a safe and successful environment in which to play.

Better the Rangers than the Pens or Leafs! Although, seriously.....the metro is already a bitch to play in and now Lafreniere is coming along, too? Super.

100%. I definitely think it'd be a positive to have a players union just for insane problems like this one. It'd be a mess, but we're going to see that anyway with endorsement deals and players actually having control of their images starting next year.

Have the Buckeyes received their invitation to the Super conference yet? Would they play if invited?

If the SEC pulls this off, I think I get to be a moderator at BP. It’s the only decent and reasonable thing to do.

It's only right.
