This is Jack Morris' last year on the ballot. If Gurnick defines the PED era as ending at the end of the 2004 season, with testing having started in 2005, then a player would have to have started his MLB career no earlier than 2005. Since you have to play at least ten seasons and be retired for at least five, the earliest possible year that Gurnick will again be voting for anybody is 2020.
If you are down 3, you can consider going down at the 1, because you have a tying FG as a backup plan. If you are down 4, you never, ever, give up an opportunity to put the ball in the end zone.
That was actually one of the best designed plays I've ever seen. Whether it was Jimbo or his ST coach or somebody else who drew that up, that guy deserves a raise.
Yes, Auburn is guarding against a fake. You can see when the initial action starts to the right of the formation that Auburn is there and has it easily handled. Then suddenly there's a reverse the other way. It's a third-level thinking play, as if they are faking the fake punt.
I'm back at work today. Schools are all still closed.
Yesterday at 6am temperature was +3 with wind chill of -25. Today at 6am temperature was -3 with wind chill of -19. Still not certain what made yesterday too cold to come to work but today not too cold.
There was a blizzard warning overnight for the NW quadrant of the state. Pretty much every road in that area is closed. There are only two counties in the northern half of the state not on a red level travel ban: http://www.in.gov/dhs/traveladvisory/
Just a trace of snow on the ground, current temperature is +1, current windchill is -12. Both kids' schools are closed and my work is closed.
People down here are soft. In college, I had classes when the temperature was -20. I don't even remember what the windchill was.
