OT: OFF TOPIC Does Lake Mead fill up again?

70% of the water Saudi Arabia uses is from desalination and many other countries also use that process. Nobody has rejected desalination because of any hazards to fish and wildlife
"Poseidon’s long-running proposal was supported by Gov. Gavin Newsom but faced ardent opposition from environmentalists who said drawing in large amounts of ocean water and releasing salty discharge back into the ocean would kill billions of tiny marine organisms that make up the base of the food chain along a large swath of the coast.

“The ocean is under attack” from climate change already, Commissioner Dayna Bochco said. “I cannot say in good conscience that this amount of damage is OK.”

Yes or No?

Yes his performance has been better than Kevin's. But do we really want a coach just because he is better than what we got but still an average at best coach?
He has got to the dance from a far more remote spot than unlv. Is he the dream? No. Is he an upgrade, heck yes. And you are forgetting that when Pitino's dad retires, Rick may move out here and help him get players. I would say Rick would help out more than Lon does.

California state reservoirs are higher than normal. https://cdec.water.ca.gov/resapp/RescondMain

It's the geniuses in LA that didn't fix and fill the local one for years.
Yeah, but every year, they dump a ton of fresh water out of the reservoirs and into the ocean because they don't have enough storage for it when the storms hit. Then they complain that they don't have enough water

OT: OFF TOPIC Does Lake Mead fill up again?

I get angry when people post about the water crisis, and they post an image of Lake Mead and Las Vegas in order to get people to bash Las Vegas. We aren't the problem. We use very little of the water (.3 MAFY). California uses more than 14 times the amount of water (4.4 MAFY) our state uses. Even New Mexico (.85 MAFY) and Wyoming (1 MAFY) get more water from the Colorado river than we do.

MAFY= million acre-feet per year.
Las Vegas is also the only basin that returns almost all the water back into the Colorado river through Lake Mead, that is why they get multiple return credits.

UNLV and UCLA to Big 10?

Cheating is too easy and ethical standards are low. Don’t ask, don’t tell, It’s just don’t get caught …. which, you have to be kind of lame to get caught. We don’t worry about academics anymore. Remember back in the day? Sometimes you’d hold your breath at winter break because somebody didn’t make the grade. Or you had to wait for second semester to start for Butler and Scurry to play against Iowa. Or waiting for Lou Kelly’s JC grades to post. Or Marcus Banks needing JC because of a credit that wasn’t taken.

We don’t worry about any of that. Everyone is eligible if they have a heartbeat.

Hasn’t anybody here ever logged on with the proper credentials and take a quiz for a kid? Just playing. And RebelLuv, please don’t do that for a player - we want them ELIGIBLE!

CDM Era: Transfer Portal and Recruits Thread

desalination they could do it. I dont know the nuances but im sure it would cost $ ,but long term it would be a HUGE benefit.
There are actually some pretty cool technologies out there, including a device that uses the ocean waves to generate power. They could probably figure out a way to harness enough ocean power to provide the energy needed to desalinate the water. At least up to a certain point. Not enough to provide for all of LA's needs, but plenty to fill up reservoirs, etc.

2024 Final AP Ranking

Absolutely, you became more attached to players. Now other than Woodson and RW it is rare to get that same attachment because here one day gone the next. We have Thomas here two years and it is a surprise to everyone. If Moses Scurry or Dickel or AM or MB walked by I would know who they are immediately. 4 years from now if Rishwain walks by I wouldn't be able to name him if you paid me.
Got so attached to Woodard that I called him Woodson 🤣

CBS Sports Way to early top 25

Call me a hater, but I see a drop off in Boise coming due to the loss of their OC more than just losing Jeanty... losing that amount of experience and game planning isnt easily replaced and you cant just plug and play RBs thinking that they'll turn into Ashton.
They got the Fresno RB, right? I'm not sure if he's expected to be their #1, but I'd think so.
