just wondering how windy.
I see forecast of winds in 15-20 mph range only. that's not great, but it's not horrendous.

OK then it's settled. A game in which we use primarily screen passes and running plays. No bubble screens cause they'll just blow away. Only screens cause, well, as the name implies, they'll be screened from the wind. Navy's never gonna know what hit them.

Vote for Adam Still today. He's close and your vote could put him in the lead.

Anybody know about how much MPH wind the typical pop-up tailgate tent can take? I was assuming anything over about 30mph could be a danger to our tailgate tents? On the SMU website for Blvd rules it states: "Tents must be erected without stakes for support". But we may need stakes if high winds are predicted this weekend. High winds and these pop-up tents don't mix well.
