    *** Official #2 Houston vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    That is a lot of "ifs", we both know that this team will not play defense like that every night, nor will they get the line 10 more than their opponent does on a given night. We played well last night, but we still have to shoot better from distance to continue to win games, especially on the road.

    *** Official #2 Houston vs IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    We won last night, but we are not going to win a lot of games against better teams going 3/15 from outside the arc.

    Schools are cancelled earlier today for two reasons, childcare for many is a major problem when school in not in session, that was less of a problem 40 years ago as most moms were not working, so someone was at home to watch the kids. Litigation is the 2nd reason, no supt. wants to get sued for...

    We could walk up from the ground to the roof of my dad's garage where he parked his rock truck. We missed the entire week of school, as the country roads blew full again every night. We had about 20 inches down here 15 years ago and they called in the national guard to help clear out the...

    Wonder if that was the late season blizzard of 1973? Worst snowstorm I can ever remember.

    Are we supposed to get hit again this weekend? Was just watching the national news on KCCI, and they showed a graph that those of us in the southern part of the state could see another 8 to 12 inches Friday and Saturday.

    Electric Snow Blower

    Talk about a heavy wet snow, we must have a foot on the ground down here, took me 90 minutes to clear out the driveway, deck and sidewalk. Not sure if a single stage blower would cut it today, my 2 stage was struggling getting the wet snow out the shoot. Took twice as long as it usually does...

    Screw that, getting too old for a lot of shoveling, time to get out the snowblower.

    I believe its either 3 or 6 months after a student graduates.

    Just starting to snow here in Davis Co, and yes, you are going to need your snowblower before this is over. When our sons still lived at home we could go out and scoop out the drive, once they left, I did it once, after one large store, I phoned my wife and told her, "Look, I am getting too...

    Unless the state gives them a break, then even days that they are using as a computer day would not count towards the hours needed to get in the minimum number of hours. So no, computer days are not allowed to be counted unless like in the past the state lowers the number of days, which they...

    Most districts build in a couple of snow days into the schedule, so if they need to use them like tomorrow, they can just count one of those days and then go later on in the year when those days pop up on the schedule. Remember all most all districts these days are counting hours of seat time...

    NFL: Kansas City Chiefs Thread

    NBC paid the NFL $110 million to broadcast this game on the Peacock network only, they must really feel that the Swifty's are going all in to purchase the game. At $6 dollars a head, they will need 18.3 million to break even.

    Most schools will be out tomorrow, my former school has already cancelled for Tuesday, it was in the school announcements a few minutes ago. Many of the schools can quickly switch over to video learning, just tell the students to be sure to take their computer home tonight and check google...

    Another female teacher incident

    Both music and band spend a lot of time during the day one on one with students for lessons. Really very common for them to form a very close relationship. Coaches and music/band are the ones this type of activity occurs the most often, has been what I have seen.

    It is a good idea to get out in front of it, and announce it the night before, as it gives parents time to make arrangements to have someone at home if their kids are in elementary. Supt's now still do not want to be the first to cancel or get out early, they catch hell if they call it too soon...

    I would guess most districts down here will start the day, and then dismiss about one or so. See our local district is getting out at 12:30.

    Cleveland is the 5th, Pittsburg is the 6th and Buffalo is the 7th. Pittsburg and Buffalo did not play so it comes down to AFC games, and with a loss by the Bills, Pittsburg would finish 7-5 while Buffalo would be 6-6.

    I was just talking about my wife and I, not all old people. Seems like it's the people that are going to work that are out and about or the young that are too stupid to realize that it's not safe on the roads.
