One thing about their offense is that they could easily stage a comeback. Though that’d require their D to not allow Clemson to score on four straight poss.

Maybe it’ll feel earned in the moment, but it would feel too much like a deus ex machina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, my mantra is "ABB" (anybody but 'Bama!)! I am honestly surprised how badly Clemson is trashing them right now. I expected a high scoring game from these teams, but either team leading by 28 points in the 4th quarter? Didn't count on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Wow...when's the last time Alabama gave up that many points? They're lucky Clemson didn't just go for 50 total, and instead ran out the clock on the last play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His previous worse loss was by 14 - in his career. Expected it to be much closer than this, even after the opening interception for a touchdown. Somewhere in the 2nd quarter you could see the look in the Bama players eyes - "uh ok, we're in trouble" and Clemson just poured it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showmethesnow Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Just an observation but it seems like politics is starting to sneak into the conversations. Nothing too blatant at this point but it is just a matter of time. Do what you all want but I myself would prefer not to see the boards go all to hell during what looks to be a very promising period moving in. God knows we are dealing with the political divisions within this country 24/7 already so I would like a place to escape to where we can all be friends and enjoy a common shared passion. Just my 2 cents worth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to hope people just keep it civil and if discussed, to do so only about the model itself and nothing more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my 2 cents worth. I haven't really notice overt political comments in the discussions here, but I agree with you. I've certainly got my own very definite opinions on...how to word it diplomatically?..."current events", but I do try to separate that from discussions on this weather forum. Maybe a light comment here or there if it's relevant or for some humor, but even here in the banter thread, I normally try not to get into political opinions that much. (OK, "political" opinions on the Alabama-Clemson game last night don't count!! ) As others have already alluded to, I think some of the politics creeping in lately is due to the shutdown and any impacts that may have on forecasts or the models as the shutdown continues. Hopefully we can all just keep it to the weather. If we can get a solid event that doesn't evaporate (ahem...this weekend...ahem!), that would probably keep most political commentary at bay!

If we just avoid talking about our problems as a country they will continue to get worse. I'm all for freely discussing most anything. And here comes the inevitable BUT, but the danger is with how polarized things have become lately politically, once pandora's box is opened wrt talking that stuff here it muddies up what most of us are here to discuss which is weather. There is no question that what is going on right now affects many here. The shutdown is real and the DMV area probably has a higher % of gov't workers affected than many other places. And if part of the games our politicians are playing affects our wx forecasting services then it will no doubt cause a reaction here. It like that old adage of when at a party the 3 things you aren't supposed to discuss are age, religion and politics. I would prefer not to deal with it here and only ask that if it is mentioned then we don't clutter the main threads with it. Nothing good will come of it as I can guarantee that people here have differing opinions and none of us are in a position to change whats going on except every first Tuesday in November.

I ventured in there a couple of times in the past, but I think it requires a separate account/login beyond your AmWX one to post anything. I've been in there before, never really commented but did read some. It was interesting, but man, did it get crazy and out of hand at times...even for opinions and views I agree with! Agree to an extent that sure, banter would be the most appropriate place for some political discussion, but wouldn't want it to devolve into ugly arguments in any direction. Fine line, and perhaps a slippery slope as Mappy alluded to above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weak Ninos tend to favor Miller B/hybrids, so given that, an active NS with a displaced TPV and strong blocking could also work out ok for us, and maybe screw NE more than usual.
