Re: The Weather is Crazy

Now 2.55 inches of rain at Sky Harbor, the fifth wettest day ever and it's only a little after 6 am. Plus the rain is expected to continue until noon and later today.

This is crazy and I have to drive to work now. I left myself an extra 20 minutes. At least the freeways I take aren't flooded.

Phoenix is getting clobbered with tropical rain. We received over 2" of rain in a couple of hours. I'm watching cars driving through flooded freeways. Some freeways are closed in sections. I-10 is a lake in places. Sky Harbor has received 2 inches of rain all year. They received more than that in 2 ...

Re: QB derby

Anu really needs a lot of work. If I was UTSA I would make Solomon through out patterns to his left. Anu has a tendency to roll right and throw that direction. Or he may throw inside slant patterns to his left. Overplay those angles and see if Solomon can throw to his left with consistency.
