It’s official. I’m entering the Minnesota Weather Transfer Portal. Shooting for MPR, the National Weather Service or maybe a weekend TV gig in Hibbing? Please don’t make me stand outside.
Weather has become easier to predict than college football rosters. At least we have the certainty of math and fluid dynamics. With portals and sweet, sweet name, image and likeness money, college teams change daily, faster than the weather.
There is no mathematical equation for what a 19-year-old quarterback will do when offered a Lamborghini to switch ZIP codes.
The NFL (contracts and salary caps) seems almost stable compared to college ball. Yes, the “climate” of college sports has warmed rapidly, leading to more extreme events. Predictions from sports analysts are less accurate than a two-week snowfall prediction.
I see more ice Tuesday with a chance of some snow Friday. Thirties this week with no prolonged polar air into midmonth.
It’s tempting to predict college football rosters. I’ll stick to weather and the Minnesota Star Tribune.
