I sure wish I could be at that game.... sounds like a good one... Too bad BC couldn't take advantage of having runners in scoring position this inning. Hold em off Cards!

BC visiting team?

43-27 Final.. BC Blocks H-F PAT and runs it in for a 1-point touchdown. That rule had to of changed recently, always thought a blocked PAT was 2 points if returned... This is directly from the referee in the press box, and looked up by KOGT in the rule book. If H-F was attempting a 2 point conversion, then BC would have gotten 2 points for the return.. What a waste of run for 1 point, lol.

The Galveston Mayor wanted to call for Mandatory Evacuations (from what i've read) but now she states that It's too late to safely do so now. This is setting up to be a MAJOR disaster and by this time for Rita, SETX and Houston was leaving, and this storm is progged to move even FURTHER East than currently projected (Possibly as far East as Galveston Bay as depicted by one single model). Can you say -- Worst case scenerio setting up for a LOT of folks??? We are going to be on the BAD side of this storm, I think if they'd not called the evacs for Gustav, then there would be no question, an evac order would already be in effect.. if I recall, I don't think Gustav's track ever was forecasted anywhere nearly as close as Ike, and Ike is a helluva lot bigger.

We won't see IKE with the following forecast from the NWS, instead, better be prepared for some warm clothes, and temperatures never seen before in SETX.. Wrap those pipes ASAP! Because these temps will be dropping by 72 degrees by tomorrow! (Obviously a hiccup on their server).

XTRAP of current NHC Forecast

Zoomed in Image [basically, this is directly up our rears]

One long range model shows it just offshore Sabine Pass stationary for 2 days before finally coming into Sabine Pass.

Ike:

Some models slam it into the east coast, Some models have it only just affecting florida (as a major storm) out on 9/9 (wow, that booger, unless it's another storm, is stalling) Most all models do take it out to sea (as of current). With the very weak steering pattern over Hanna, the models will be hard to depict though.

Sorry guys, there is no possible threat, it was all old model information....... Got to give BOTH Coopers a hard time over that...

I hear one of our local weather peeps on an unnamed TV station are already freaking out and ready to head for the hills...

You're right, needs to go away! The CMC was onto something that was of the "old data" variety. Models still showing a not so good scenerio for areas of Texas.

Again, the model isn't old, it's amazing when one person says on storm2k everyone assumes it correct. The time stamp shows as valid. Also, you're right, it is an old one now, however, the GFDL still shows a Cat 5 heading towards the general direction of Texas/Louisiana.. Must be an old run too, right? [NOTE] Anyone reading this thread, don't take this serious at this point, it's too far out to determine the whereabouts it's going to make its eventual landfall, it could be anywhere on the gulf coast at this point [ENDNOTE]

I think we all do, don't want no stinking Cat 3 here! lol
