OT: OFF TOPIC Does Lake Mead fill up again?

California uses it for alfalfa. Maybe they should try putting water on fires. It’s a known effective measure.

It's a billion dollar industry not just in CA but in AZ. Saudi Arabia has bought thousands of acres in AZ and grows alfalfa with our water just to ship it all to their country. CA Big Business has been doing this for nearly 15 years. And, our water in the form of alfalfa is going to China. They are sucking our water dry and the U.S. lets them. It wouldn't surprise me this isn't going on in other states.

"In Arizona, something even more insane is happening. Saudi Arabian companies are pumping up groundwater from beneath land they have purchased and are using it to grow alfalfa for export to the Middle East. They have no plan for replacing this scarce and finite groundwater that accumulated over thousands of years. Incredibly, Arizona does not regulate groundwater extraction in agricultural areas. California didn’t get serious about groundwater management until 2014 so we deserve some criticism too."

How do we save water: Stop growing alfalfa in Imperial County

Is the California desert the right place to grow alfalfa? It needs a considerable water to sustain this crop for a year.

I think that they should change the seeding process as follows. The top four conference champions are guaranteed a seed no worse than #6. Then, Utah could have a home game against UNLV in the first round of the playoffs in 2025 :) !

Utah should have a home and home vs UNLV. Yeah, we're down in playing the Utes in the CFP. That would be UNLV first CFP and look like a win. :)

My Father in Law is a retired cop now turned farmer. Alfalfa is the worst. Those who own water rights must use their water with risk of it being confiscated so they plant alfalfa because it requires overwatering.

I agree. They might change seeding process but also after this years CFP, do you really want a bye week? Id argue Id rather have a full Allegiant stadium as the G5 champion reward and then play the next games in whatever Bowls are there...

Climate change. It’ll never fill up. Just kidding. Climate change is the long term crisis scam.

Or we live in a desert and the lake wasn’t going to support over 2M which so much allocated for elsewhere.

I thought we had a Lake Mead/water expert here?

It was probably Bronson Mack, but I'm not sure if he's on here. I know Bronson's little brother was here as well.

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 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

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.

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!
