    Keep an eye on the tropics

    Got a little trouble brewing in the Atlantic. Possible threat to the northern central gulf next week.

    It would come a ****ing hurricane for our season opener. I'll still go, but it'll be tempting as hell to stay home and watch all the other badass openers that day like UGA-Clemson.
    It's the roller coaster of hope that this program keeps us on that makes it hell being a State fan. - CadaverDawg, 10/15/22

    OXFORD, Miss. (WTVA) - Ole Miss campus police ask students to behave at future baseball games following a recent incident.
    The university said students were reportedly throwing rocks at Georgia baseball players during last weekend's series.

    Models more than three days out are for entertainment purposes only.

    The GFS has had several phantom tropical systems this year, I'd hold off on worrying about this at all.

    Definitely not time to push the panic button. There's been a handful of these this season and most have fizzled out. What you do need to do if you live in a vulnerable area is make sure you are prepared to deal with a tropical system. Do that now while you have time and not when the storm is bearing down on you.

    I'm a total amateur at weather, but in my business, you watch the tropics. This is the 1st one of the season that Impact Weather has started really talking about. Still, it's a long way out, and they certainly are admitting that. It has a better than 50% chance of developing.

    This is a good place to hijack this as any- but I think that if it does monsoon in Starkville, it's probably going to benefit us since we are a run first offense. To me, I would think rain would benefit a team that likes to run the ball a lot.

    And unless I'm way off, I expect USM to throw the ball a lot.

    Meh, I don't really care about what side it benefits, we are playing USM for goodness sakes.

    I don't want it to rain because rain causes more injuries and increases the variables and opportunities for the lesser team. Fumbles, slips, etc...

    If they want to challenge Love, Calhoun and Redmond while the best Dline in the SEC is after their QB, so be it.

    They're going to do what all smaller teams, including Ole Miss, do against us: They are going to throw short, quick passes, and try to get a guy in space.

    0 offensive touchdowns, I'll take that. I hope our special teams doesn't force feed them 1-2 TD's.

    There is a saying that a wet field can level the playing field. That's my concern. Small concern.

    "Recent model runs are indicating an increasing threat to the Gulf of Mexico for next week."

    I got y'all. The only problem I see with this is the extreme amount of shear that this conglomerate of storms will run into soon.

    Cool. I have this bizarre fascination with bad weather, especially hurricanes.
