There's a story in Mississippi football lore about a JC football coach that lashed a mattress around a pine tree and made his players hit it until a pinecone fell. "Bull, Hurricane" Sullivan, I think his name was. He rolled over in his grave when the 'in the grasp' ruling came about.

I know we need one. The weather especially in big heat island cities like Atlanta is not what it was like in the 80’s. It’s 85 by 9:45 am and at 6 pm the temperature is still rising whereas the pattern used to be you reached the daily high at 3 pm and then it started to go down. And it’s not just a heat and humidity thing, it’s also the smog creating unhealthy conditions and the possibility of lightning from a sudden afternoon southern storm.
