The time to worry is when the geyser stop their normal erupting.

I saw that on a documentary called “Gilligan’s Island”.
The people behind the study:

Too many distractions(suspensions) + playing neutral site?

BTW, Speight is gawd awful too.

Picked U of M going 9-3, now think they'll lose 4-5.

Unless Texas is really that bad, @ Maryland might be 1 of those additional losses.

With all these guys opting out early to go to the $$$NFL...college football is going to have a parity problem(unless one considers a lot of mediocre teams, parity). While SEC teams may be able to re-load every year, other conferences may not be so lucky...there just isn't that much talent to go around, add that to this drumbeat of football being a "dangerous" sport for youngsters...NCAA may find themselves with a decreasingly entertaining product on the field(like the NFL).

Still, in this era of bad movies and television...they'll still get the eyeballs to justify million dollar contracts and billion dollar stadiums.

“Women and minorities hardest hit!”

But of course.

What else do dumbo journalists have to say?

I’d love to hear the environmentalists take on the NASA proposal.

They've been saying for a long time the population of the earth needs to be dramatically reduced. It never was about the 'environment.'

What these bunch of chicken little’s fail to mention is that there were a lot of smaller events at Yellowstone.

These attention seekers are a real drag.

They also ignore the one in California that is under a elevated threat level even higher than Yellowstone.

Even at that, IF Yellowstone where to erupt at a super event, what the hell do they think they can do? OH I get it! Be prepared. For what? To live just a couple months longer than the rest?

Go watch the movie, Super Volcano, its on Youtube. That brings it to reality. That thing blows as a super event, about one third of the earths population is done.
What happens is that most of this countries electrical grid will fail. The Missouri River basin and the Colorado river basin water becomes contaminated, as well as the Columbia river basin. The Great Lakes become contaminated. The Mississippi also. The plains food production fails, the corn belt fails. What the hell do these survivalist think they can do to outlive a decade, at least, of volcanic winter caused by the gases blown into the air?

A super volcanic eruption is a near global extinction event. So the attention they seek to get does what? Not a thing.

END OF STORY.

This must be due to Earthquake Change

“....They also ignore the one in California that is under a elevated threat level even higher than Yellowstone....”

The entire Mono Lakes area is a huge caldera that is swelling rapidly.

It sounds like the answer to global warming.

Archeological digs and studies found ash as deep as 4 feet in the area of North Carolina from the last Yellowstone Super Volcano eruption about 640,000 years ago. So..we are due. And it will be a killer. The US is screwed when it happens.

Well considering UM had a bunch of new starters, I expected them to not be all that good going into the game, and that’s why I figured we had a chance. But I expect them to improve as the season goes on.

Meanwhile, UF continues to regress.

Womyn and minorities will be hardest hit.

That would be the Long Valley Caldera in the Mammoth Lakes area south of Mono Lake.

The one before that was 1,400,000 million years ago. So they hit on average about once every 700,000 years, give or take 50,000 years.

It is statistically more likely than an extinction level asteroid hit, but still not very likely in our lifetimes.
