Ever watch Force 10 From Navarone?

Yes.  Quite the drama for a war flick.

Studied groundwater flow and water engineering way back in a previous life.  It is somewhat unusual for a dam to crack like the picture posted earlier.  More typical is that water saturation and or flowage would make the base unstable.  Think quicksand.  That or erosion though piping where animals burrowed, or tree roots rotted.  Bigger dams are generally attached to bedrock if available.  Otherwise a long series of steel sheet pile is driven way beyond the structure to cut off any possible threat to seepage.

Just like in Force 10...a little can become a lot.  That was cool.

I always think about nuclear power plants that are sited near the Cascades in Oregon.  What ever happened to Mount St. Helen?   Or the nuclear plant that was sited in Japan in an area that can be flooded.   Come on now.

Dayton has a history of some huge earthen dams for stormwater control.  The chief engineer from Dayton's Miami Conservancy District became the first chief engineer of the TVA.  

I got a job offer as a Civil Engineer for the Army Corp of Engineers.  Turned them down.  Their HQ is in Mobile Alabama.  My wife said no way, Jose.

I tossed a coin and lost.  Turned the job down.  Neutered at an early age.  Starting a Go Fund Me page for sad sacks. I introduce her as my first wife.  Still do....still is after 47 years.

My list of coach prospects:  Not Woodson; not Archie; not DD; maybe Cig's twin brother...a winner.

Once again, thanks for posting for the folks like myself. This may be enough to purge Turgeon out of my subconsciousness.

Has anyone listed various reasons as to why Drew would consider Indiana? We had this discussion after Tom Crean and Archie and now we’re back to Drew as a candidate. 

I understand he’s from Indiana, yes. But he’s been in Waco since 2003. Yes you read that correctly, 2003. Champions in 2020, he has things rolling over in the Big 12. 

The only thing I could see with Drew is that with the new revenue sharing that he teams in the big 12 will be at a disadvantage. With the Big 10 and the SEC getting more revenue than the other conferences I could see coaches in the other league thinking they are at a disadvantage.

The chatter is about 1A and 1B. More 1A this last weekend. 

Didn't 1B just sign a 1 yr extension? Or has 1B been 86ed and 2A is now 1B?

And who the hell was 2A?

2B or not 2B?  

That is the question.

Technically it’s the new 1B. Yes Original 1B not an option.

Someone walk me through the logic of flying into McCordsville to meet with IU. (Also, Bedford is not the regional airport closest to Brad’s house.) 

Because McCordsville is only about ,8 miles from my house and they want my approval

For those of us who have zero clue (maybe just me), what’s the Florida connection? 

A few people who are the money behind this have places there. I have heard Fuzzy Zoeller name more this year than any other year. Maybe he's the Zoeller and not Cody Zeller.

Lets just call him 1C and the rest 1D,1E,1F,1G.

Then IU can say they got their #1 guy.

Dusty was the original 1B but with the extension, I haven't heard his name mentioned. If Dolson is working with him it's super quiet.

Pfau family I would think.

.....side note, how do you pronounce that name? lol 

Everytime I see Pfau, I imagine it's pronounced like how a beautiful Princess's fart sounds! lol!!!

I guess Dust May to IU was never meant 2B.

Don't come for the leaks itself but what the leaks represent.  Hope.  

Would I like leaks to stop?  Depends…

During Archie’s hiring cycle IU met with Archie in Atlanta and then again in San Jose before he was hired

Would still be leaks but the leak wouldn't leak.
