I don't think it's so much "still trying to be the FB head coach" as "these are the basic tenets of the offense that have made us successful and you will stick to them."

Still, I have trouble viewing "AD has too big of a shadow" as a legitimate complaint that often. You know who casts a small shadow? The parade of whimpering losers that Illinois has had running their pathetic programs for the past three decades. Sometimes I complain about having Barry as an AD, then I remember watching Bob Bowlsby wipe piddle from the inside of his leg as he hems-and-haws over even the most mundane decision, and it's not so bad.

As Barry searches for a new HC looking for his clone isn't necessarily the right answer. This is a different world than he coached in. I loved the tOSU coach when I was in school (and before and after). I still have a tremendous amount of respect for him today. He was the greatest of his time. I loved his philosophy and style of play. Having said that, I'm glad our current coach isn't trying to run 3 yards and a cloud of dust, and doesn't believe if you throw the ball 3 things can happen, and 2 of them are bad. As Barry is trying to find a guy to run his offense that was successful, he is doing a disservice to Wisky. Having said that, I hope he is successful in finding the guy that will live in the past and help Wisky take a step toward irrelevance.

A lot of my loathing of Bucky has been tied to their coaches. I hated Alvarez. Loathed Bert. Fuck that Grinch-lookin' basketball geezer. I had no problem with Andersen as he seemed like a nice enough guy. They need to bring in another loathsome douchebag. It's who they are...

I'm right there with you. Andersen was a good guy and seemed to be a good coach. I think Corvallis is a pretty cool place (I've been there numerous times) but football-wise, what a huge step down...has to be concerning for Wisconsin. But I really hate UW mostly due to Bielema, Ryan, and past matchups. I want them to be good every season so we can beat the piss out of them and I get even more satisfaction while watching a doucher coach be all pissy about it.

I think the jury was still out on whether or not Andersen was a good coach. He had some wins this seasons that would be considered nice by Big Ten West standards and that's about it. But on every big stage over the past two years (PSU and South Carolina last year, LSU and OSU this year), his teams have woefully under-performed.

He was kicking LSU's ass until all of a sudden he decided to stop for whatever reason.

Spent a year at Ft. Lewis, half way between Seattle and Portland and a hundred or so miles north of Corvalis. The rain was steady from the end of November through mid February when we had five days of sunshine. Then it rained everyday until sometime in late April. The "I-5 corridor" - roughly from Vancouver to Petaluma, CA -has the highest suicide rate in the nation.

The people were great and when the sun finally came out it was spectacular weather, but you don't know rain and gray until you've wintered in the area.

I've never been to that area. But I do remember hearing when the Steelers were going to play the Seahawks in the Super Bowl a while back - 10 years or so ago - that this area of the country actually has more rainy days in a year, on average, than Washington does. It was on TV, so I'm sure it has to be true. Except maybe it wasn't.

found this on the inter webs (can't put anything on the internet that isn't true)

Most Rainy Days
Large US cities where it rains or snows on over 130 days each year:
CityDays
Rochester, New York167
Buffalo, New York167
Portland, Oregon164
Cleveland, Ohio155
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania151
Seattle, Washington149
Columbus, Ohio139
Cincinnati, Ohio137
Miami, Florida135
Detroit, Michigan135




must be a ton of days with light drizzle type rain.
Miami is the only one of the above cities to crack the top 10 in total annual precipitation.

Buffalo sees almost 2 months more rainy days than New Orleans (167 vs 115), but Nola gets nearly double the total rainfall (62.7" vs 34") in a year's time.

according to the header, yeah they count snow as well as rain.

the tropical season (June through November) is when we get the most rains.
especially late summer months when we get squalls coming up from the Gulf/Inland Waters seemingly every week.
it's the type of storms that would eventually grow into Hurricanes had they formed far enough out to develop rather than right on the coast.
they brew up out of nowhere, winds get nasty, dump a ton of rain on us sometimes knock the power out. only last a couple hours, then are gone.

Yeap, Seattle at least is constant drizzle.
Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland, etc. are probably related to snow. So much as a centimeter of snow was enough to cause panic in Seattle (and it makes sense once you see how steep the streets are to/from waterfront)

Gulf Coast gets some heavy rain imo -- the rain drops themselves are pretty big. While NW just drizzles like a leaky faucet, Gulf Coast is more like somebody tipped a rain cloud over and it all comes down at once. Having the sun out at the same time is an eery feeling though.
