Like they have more faith in ORCS than they do in Morganza.
If the Morganza fails the Mississippi river will flow down the Atchafalaya.The Morganza was not going to be opened until extreme circumstances occured, and that is why they are taking it easy on opening it up more than needed.

re: SEC is irrelevent to the BCSCG after Auburn loses

No. Wbat put us in the game was Notre Dame lost to Hawaii after we beat UGA in the SEC Champ game. Notre Dame's loss dropped SC's strength of schedule
WRONG!
The Georgia game improved our strength of schedule. USC was at 37 before LSU played #7 georgia and LSU's was 54. After we beat Georgia our strength of schedule went to 29 and USC's stayed at 37. I am not trying to get into a pissing contest, I am just simply saying that in the past the SECCG has helped the SEC because it was always played between 2 highly ranked teams. It has been another quality win and increased the strength of schedule for the winner. That has helped in the computer polls and the human voters have always taken that game into consideration. They are 2/3 of the total BCS formula. The SECCG will not prove to be as big this year unless South Carolina runs the table and is in the top 10 in December.

LSU in 03 did not get a bump because of UGA. If I remember correct the same team can't be counted twice or some such shite.
We beat a # 7 Georgia team that year. We were # 3 behind Oklahoma and USC going into that game. Oklahoma didnt fall that far because they had such a big lead on everyone else that year. We barely nugged out over the USC team that didnt play a championship game. If we hadnt played A # 7th ranked Georgia Team that year we would not have played for the National Championship. Its as simple as that.

That's ridiculous. Winner of SEC-CG goes to BCS-CG (even with 2 losses). Everyone remembers Florida vs Hawaii - not going to try that again real soon.
I have to respectfully disagree with you. The winner of the SECCG in years past has been able vault a one loss SEC team to the top of the standings because it has been such a quality win. If Auburn falls to Alabama, it could mean the end of the SEC's ability to play in the BCS championship game this year because of the opponent that will represent the East in the SECCG. We need to hope that South Carolina keeps winning so they will be in the top 10 for the SECCG. If the team that is representing the East isnt in the top 10 it will be very hard for a 1 loss Alabama, Auburn, or possibly LSU to pass up Boise St, or TCU to play for the BCSNC.
re: BP is so full of fail its funny

I think that after the top kill did not work, they should have stayed hooked up to the bop and started pumping freshwater into the bop. As the freshwater would have started taking the path of least resistance ( back out if the riser) under the pressure conditions. Hydrates would have started forming and it would have created an ice plug. If the ice plug would have sealed the leak they could have resumed pumping heavy mud ( if the pressures would have allowed it without taking a chance if blowing the surface casing)
If that failed they could have stayed hooked to the bop and flowed out of the same pipe they were pumping into. The hydrostatic head of the hydrocarbons coming to the surface is lower than the seawater to the sea floor. With the assistance of the gas, I think they could have sucessfully brought some to surface.
Of course they have many brilliant engineers that are working on this and their main concern is to get it stopped. I sm sure that they are doing everything they can think that will posssibly work. They know exact details of everything that is going on and things expected to happen with everything they try. Just being a citizen of the public we only have the information that is released to us.

Also, I was assuming they would use the drillpipe to bring the oil to surface. I don't think it will flow to surface on it's on so they'll have to come up with a way to reverse it out or lift it internally.
I am pretty sure there will be gas along with the oil that will assist in carrying it up.

the boats spraying rig with water was a waste of time. Just another "hey, look we are doing everything we can"
Those boats that were spraying the rig with water was doing everything that they could. I have never been in a similar position and I assume you havent either. In the heat of the moment they were just doing the best they could do. We all know that it wasent doing much if anything to the fire, but it must have been an awful feeling to be there and know they could do nothing more. Give em a break. Holding boom around the rig would have done absolutly nothing either. Like one poster said.

Need to know if this is a rumor or truth. Heard they found an escape capsule from rig in gulf today. True or not?
It could very well be true. The rigs have several life capsules. Not only the ones that the crews boarded and launched.

You have to take into account the effects that temp takes on the oil. It is very cold at the source where this oil is exiting the pipe at on the sea floor. It starts to increase in temp as it gets closer to the surface, but after being on the surface for some time the surface temps will change the viscosity of the oil as well as the water and currents help disperse it.

he called me alittle while ago to tell me his tug is leaving in the morning to tow and hold in place a floating drill rig.
he may be towing a big barge out there to pump the oil into. He will not be towing a rig and holding it in place. These igs are held in place by sattelites. They are self driven Dynamic Positioning vessles.

where else would they come from? There was tanks on the rig. Dont underestimate the powerful currents in the gulf.

Define tons of oil? Oil is released at the bottom of the sea, but I would not venture out and say tons of it. Not at one time anyway.

There was a marine biologist on tv saying that the oil is okay on the bottom bc there is microbes and other organisms that will eat the oil.

You dont think that it will sink and stay there do you. When it sinks, no one will never know where it will end up. It will make its way to land somewhere. It could be as far south South Texas/mexico or all the way to Key west.
