The More You Know...About Arkansas State

I've lived in both Miami and Memphis (a few hours from Jonesboro). Memphis is a worse heat, humid with no wind. If Jonesboro has weather anything like Memphis, it's not gonna be a factor in Saturday's game.

I agree with this. I've traveled during summer all my life, since my parents were both teachers. There's nothing worse than inland southern states in late summer. Often I've been begging to return to Miami, where the breeze and afternoon showers are such a welcome relief.

These days I spend many late summers at Saratoga before returning to Miami. I pack my golf clubs and play plenty in the Capital Region but I make sure to put the clubs where I can't find them on the return drive home. Closest I remember to death was an August round of golf in Kentucky many years ago.

The nights aren't as brutal in those states since the temperature drops more than in Miami. Daytime is beyond description. Heck, I prefer summer daytime in Miami to Orlando, where my sister now lives.

Besides, adjustments like this are a waste. It's darn near impossible to be good enough to apply the proper tilt, if any. I have one sharp buddy in Las Vegas who bets college football and used to fixate on the weather from the outset of the season. Finally in the mid '90s he learned to ignore the weather completely. He credits that with bumping his winning percentage considerably, allowing him to spotlight the criteria that actually matter.

Close for 25 minutes.
Depth, Size and Heat/Humidity make this game not too close in the end.

I buy depth.
I buy size.
I'll add speed.

But heat/humidity? Pfft. Jonesboro has been running hotter with similar humidity levels.

Sorry, you don't know Miami weather, unless you've been in it, let alone played in it. I've lived in all parts of the South, and the only place that rivals Miami is New Orleans.

Jonesboro is one hour from Memphis.
 
Just found out Trooper Taylor coaches CB's at Arkansas State. Would have changed the "Person that will **** you off" category.

Arkansas Radio station wants to talk to me about my post. I think it's a setup.

Which one?
I was on KNEA 970 at 12:45et, 11:45 local Arkansas time. Don't know if they have archived streams of their shows or segments.

Hope Randy and Keith treated you well. The radio show is the sister program to our website.
Oh yea they were cool. I was nervous because I have public speaking skills that are better suited for braille. They mostly asked why Miami fans are upset with how things are going, and I rambled on about stuff we all complain about.

You did very well. All we usually get are Rivals and Scout guys who ramble on about something, and we only learn later that they've done next to no research on us. It was nice to hear from a true fan for a change. At least you had done your homework.

I think I shattered the ramble record when they brought me on for cross-gate.

I admit, I turned you off. Not because I didn't agree with your take, but because I knew the phone lines were about to get lit up like a Christmas tree by many of our so called "Christians" in Jonesboro. I wasn't staying around for that party
 
Doesn't sound like the whole interview was on that link but you sounded great Dan.


Take a shot of single malt 15 mins before your next one and you'll be even better.
