I don't think my friends and family in SE Louisiana can take another shot right now. I know that SW Louisiana has STILL not fully recovered from Rita.

Can we just send this thing to Venezuela?

How about this? We load up David Carr and have him go play some football down in Venezuela. The huge level of suckitude coming from down there will assuredly pull Ike into its vortex.

Ike ain't coming here. Chuck Norris hates wife beaters so we're sending Chuck in....

CloakNNNdagger · 09-08-2008

Just as the preliminary model tracks were pretty accurate for the New Orleans target for Gustav, the preliminary models for Ike are targeting Texas (in the Galveston area) as the most like likely target.

We could say that Ike's wrath has already hit Houston............yesterday.

Substitute our defense for David Carr. Then Ike will move very, very quickly to the SE.

I work for the government and am considered to be essential in times of emergency. If Ike comes close to us I will be playing in it instead of where ever the game is played. When Rita hit I was up for 36 hours, with a broke hand, driving around in circles fixing problems. I hate to see what I would end up doing if Ike blows up and comes at us. So unless it makes a turn, there will be no football for me.

Entirely circumstantial post with just about nothing behind it....

I got this creepy feeling looking at Ike on a 5 day forecast and it looked so familiar to me that I went digging over on Wikipedia for the 1900 Galveston Hurricane.

They both ran right up Cuba and even do that little hitch to the north. Means nothing but it just caught my attention.

www.stormpulse.com is a great tracking site. Just thought I'd mention it.

My guess is the game will be moved or postponed where the texans o line will get blown off the line of scrimmage as if we were at home and the d line will get nutralized. Some things are always constant. The drop in the barametric pressure might relieve the pressure on Ahman Greens knee and he might make a half a series before going down with an eye lid strain.

Here's another site that has so much information that it will make your eyes pop out.

3 ways to make Ike go away

1) Let Alex Gibbs cuss at it until it turns tail and runs

2) Put Mario in a 3 point stance facing it. It'll try to find Weaver's side of the line and go away.

3) Start playing all of the 2005 season on the jumbotron at Reliant. It'll be appalled and go away.

Isn't the guy in your avatar the actor that got killed by the helicopter blade while filming "Twilight Zone".....forgot his name now but his face is bringing back that memory.

Vic Morrow, and yeah, that was a horrible way to go. I can't watch that movie because of it.

That accident also still haunts me. The cameras kept rolling as he and one the young kids were decapitated by the blades, and the other youngster was crushed by one of the copter's runners.

Yea thanks for putting his name to his face...I remember seeing that movie when it came out.

If I remember right he was a fairly successful actor...

just bring extra weights for the canopy. You will be fine.

CloakNNNdagger · 09-08-2008

It will be interesting how Reliant's roof fares. I know, we've been told Reliant was built to take hurricane winds, but I wonder about that, especially the roof..............especially because we were told a lot of other things.

Latest forecast has Ike heading into the Port O'Connor to Corpus area very late Friday night to very early Saturday morning, and by game time Sunday it's expected to be nearing the Oklahoma border to the northwest of DFW.

I don't think there will be a postponement on that track and time table, and if it is still a little too close for comfort for the powers that be who'll decide the fate of the game, I could see an even later start, 7 pm Sunday, or even pushing it to Monday, which has been done before.

It looks like its gonna hit corpus and head this way on sat. it could be a 3or 4 when it hitd corpus and 11 or two when it hits SA.
