Originally posted by SHOCKvalue View PostDon't ever vacation in Germany.
In the context of the modern vehicle, 100 MPH or 110 MPH is not really any different than 70 MPH or 80 MPH was to the vehicles of 30 or 40 years ago. Most of the US interstate system that is located in lower population areas (the vast majority of the central US) could handle those speeds no problem, as could the majority of vehicles that are produced today. The variable that precludes the German autobahn model from working here is the US driver and the low threshold for licensure. We'll give a license to anything with a pulse, after a morning spent reading a booklet - the opposite tact of German and most of Europe.
EDIT: BTW Montana interstates essentially had no daytime speed limit through a good chunk of the '90's and early '00's (the limit was signed as "safe and prudent"), until one dork who challenged his ticket ruined it for everyone.
Except at construction sites, the general speed limits, where they apply, are usually between 100 km/h (62 mph) and 130 km/h (81 mph); construction sites usually have a speed limit of 80 km/h (50 mph) but the limit may be as low as 60 km/h (37 mph) or, in very rare cases, 40 km/h (25 mph). Certain stretches have lower speed limits during wet weather. Some areas have a speed limit of 120 km/h (75 mph) in order to reduce noise pollution during overnight hours (usually 10pm – 6am) or because of increased traffic during daytime (6am – 8pm).

The German autobahn only has speed limits in heavier populated areas, work zones, etc. The rest of it is posted.

Don't you need to be off somewhere counting the years until your third and next appearance in the top 10 - a place WSU has now been 59 times, and actively counting? If the AP poll was property law you'd be the squatter hoping for adverse possession by pretending like you belong, and we're the entity b!tch-slapping you upside the head with eminent domain.
You can only hope that someday programs will be judged by fan attendance, rather than the results on the court. That's the only way Creighton is ever going to be relevant.

Originally posted by RoyalShock View PostI was actually aboard Shock Force 1 the entire time. You weren't told due to the possibility you might get intercepted by sweater-wearing preppies straight outta Creighton on your way through Nebraska. Had that situation occurred, they might have tortured you with repeated chants of "one point nine" until you gave up the info. Yes, you could have countered with your own chant of "Sweet Sixteen and Final Four". However, due to their much-used technique of putting their fingers in their ears and yelling "Fox Sports 1", we couldn't risk it.

Originally posted by Mr. Obvious View PostWhatever makes you happy. Creighton has been out of the Valley for 2 years yet they still remain the most "relevant" topic on this forum day in and day out. Don't understand that. I could care less. Just find it odd.
Also, making fun of sweater vested turd burglars never gets old.
