There is no real good reason for me to feel the way I do much less say this...I think Penn State is going to Iowa City and winning tomorrow night. Gut feeling, we're going to see the team that we thought we were going to see back on August 30th but never materialized. I think it'll be close and the Lions pull it off with a late turnover. 

I'm in a pick em' league here at work - it's both NFL and NCAA. We have 24 in the group. Last night, 23 had the Steelers, 1 had the Bungles. Guess who had Cincinnati?

  

I will gladly accept whatever wrath I deserve following tomorrow night's game. 

Wow, I love the optimism, but I am, uuummm, on the complete opposite side as you haha.  I think Grunk will be totally overwhelmed in his first start in an environment like that and the team eventually just fades in the second half.  I can't get the images of that one game in Iowa City out of my head.......the one where our backup had to come in because Clifford got hurt (I think Robeson was the kid's name?) and he was completely overwhelmed and the game turned into a total sh&t-show.  I could be messing up some details but yeah, you get the gist.  As always, I hope to be wrong!

That was 2021 Iowa.  The team was undefeated going into that game.  Please let it not be like that.  I've suffered enough.

Now that we are done with any 90+ degree days. Below is the by-decade trend of the average number of 90+ days across Chester County PA from the 1890's through the 2020's. There is a clear decline at all elevations in the number of such hot days. In fact, the 2020's are trending to be the 2nd lowest number of average 90-degree days behind only the 1970's.
