Well, you do know this forum is not the norm. Most people aren't running AC in early April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on the temps. Upper 70's is AC time in Jan or April. We had this convo last year and our place gets hot very quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had this convo last year and our place gets hot very quickly. I'm willing to be hot or cold to save money and energy. I do have a limit though. Mid-80s usually means we put on the AC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must be a bad influence on my neighbors - when it was in the mid to upper 70s back in March my neighborhood was buzzing with AC units running.

We had this convo last year and our place gets hot very quickly. I will dissent. I refuse to put the AC on for one abnormal day like that, particularly when it's not THAT hot and the nights still cool down enough to have windows open (i.e. ~60 or less). Fans and playing the window game does the trick. I fully expect @Itstrainingtime to disown me at this point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid-80s usually means we put on the AC. It also depends on what you keep your house at. We keep it 66-68 in the winter and 70-72 in the summer so if it gets to 80 and the sun is out, it will fly past 72 by afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully expect @Itstrainingtime to disown me at this point I work at home so some of it is also based on that. 75-76 degrees (in the house) and in a meeting is not ideal but I could do it if I really wanted.

We keep 72 in the summer as well but can deal with 74-76 for a day or so, particularly if its not too humid. I also find that turning on the circulating fan on the HVAC unit does a great job of moderating things throughout the house and uses very little electric -- a feature that I think people often times forget about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His football days were pre football watching for this youngin'. NBC aired AFC games every Sunday at 1pm back in the 70s. Some of favorite "first" TV announcers were Charlie Jones, Don Criqui and Jim Simpson. The Bills were often on my set during that time period. Amazing to think now how secondary the NFL was back then compared to MLB. Lots of teams had a hard time selling out games. Don't worry though - the Cowboys would come on CBS at 4pm. All NFL games were played at 1pm and 4pm on Sunday with one Monday night game that was on ABC at a ridiculous 9pm. I had to do some parent schmoozing to be able to watch an entire game on school nights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure was - and his comments were not as inflammatory in those days as they would be today. Just the way it was. I often feel like announcers that are widely despised, I end up liking. For example, cocky or not, I'm a huge Joe Buck fan. Joe and Troy are my absolute favorites today. A lot of people can't stand Joe...I get it, I think he's top notch. I kind of like Romo...sometimes he forces moments that aren't there. In general, announcers are much more bland today than they were years ago. From Keith Jackson's "whoa Nellie" to Dick Enberg's "OH MY" - they were so distinctive in their style. Today, outside of a few...you could watch so many of them and there's nothing really that sets them apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atomixwx Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I love Joe Buck and Troy wish they would have stayed on FOX. Nobody likes Joe Buck. Stop lying to yourself. If somebody other than Artie Lange did to Joe Buck on Joe Buck Live what Artie Lange did to Joe Buck on Joe Buck Live, Joe Buck would have been relegated to the radio broadcast for Cardinals games in St. Louis.
