BTW, did you know that HWY 12 still hasn't completely re-opened after Sandy?

To get to and from Hatteras you have to take a ferry, or pay a tow truck to get your car from Mirlo Beach to the Oregon Inlet.

Hint: There's no fucking buildings within site of the inlet.

Well, except for the Coast Guard Station, and the marina, and the hotels.

Try riding a bike when it's 110° in the shade and there ain't no shade-along with 50% humidity. I did that -ONCE.

Right after Labor Day everything is cheaper and it's not as crowded.

It's still warm enough to swim but not unbearably hot.

But sometimes a storm pops up and fucks everything up.

Big Ten football: Wisconsin’s running game flattens Nebraska

INDIANAPOLIS -- Pardon the Ohio State football coaches and players if they threw rocks through their television screens last night.

The full impact of OSU's bowl ban because of NCAA sanctions must have hit the undefeated Buckeyes as Wisconsin destroyed hapless Nebraska 70-31 in the Big Ten championship game at Lucas Oil Stadium.

In a mismatch between two teams No. 4 Ohio State defeated this year, Wisconsin became the first team ever to be awarded a Rose Bowl berth with five losses after earning the Big Ten's automatic berth in that 110-year-old game.

The unranked Badgers (8-5) will play Pac-12 champion Stanford (11-2) on Jan. 1 in Pasadena, Calif. after winning their 14th Big Ten title -- and third in a row -- by avenging a regular-season loss to favored Nebraska.

"To have three Big Ten championships, that says it all," said Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema. "This one is very, very special."

Its because we have such a crappy governor.

It's a rare situation where you'd rather not catch the ball.

The string of idiots losing touchdowns because they want to show off is just a pathetic attempt to be a show off. Even though it has cost teams touchdowns, there will apparently always be another buffoon willing to take the same risk.

That was painful for me.

But Saban taking those two timeouts to halftime with him wasn't exactly a genius move either.
