The only problem with your brand of 'football' is that elderly folk may pass on before the game is over. No offence intended. Can hardly claim that and have cricket 5 day test matches - Although there are times when it is difficult to tell the quick from the dead with some teams..... Apples and oranges, Naut. Cricket i s the game played in Heaven.

Fifty yard line? Or did you pick a particular end zone? The only problem with your brand of 'football' is that elderly folk may pass on before the game is over. No offence intended. Yes. It is quite true. But then we hold funerals at half time, for those who have the fortune to "pass" before recess. I suggest we need something more exciting. Like, let's say, seating at an Aussie Rules field, which is a bit like viewing the action at a roundabout. Really exciting would be to add another ellipse and have four teams "playing through" ... longitudinal and meridianal action for the visually bored. Give it a little regional color as well. Aussie rules could be roundabout has the right of way ... versus Saudi rules where biggest object has the right of way, sometimes referred to kamikaze rules.

I bought a ticket 67 years ago Fifty yard line? Or did you pick a particular end zone? I decided to go with the cooler end zone. I have been in enough hot water at times to learn that a really hot play isn't conducive to future results. 😂

I'll pass your suggestion on to the AFL administration. It would be somewhat like 3D chess, only faster. PS: I was at the ground when this mark was taken:

Missouri, are you ready to make a prediction for the next couple of years? Is a super La Nina likely? ENSO seems to follow solar cycles. The PDO follows ENSO and appears to be heading down again. The AMO is also moving lower. If SC25 is similar to SC24, we have not seen such an event since the 1870s-90s, where SC13 was somewhat higher than SC12, and our data for that period is not good. Our only reasonably documented low solar cycle was a singleton ... SC20 ... which produced ENSO minimums slightly higher than 2009-10. Based on past response and current trend, we should expect a Nina at least as low and long as 2009-10 ... perhaps lower and longer if such effects are cumulative. Based on that, I will predict that the odds look good for a large Nina in the 2021-22 timeframe. Right or wrong, we should learn something. Every Tom-thingy Denier and Believer will have their antennas tuned to the Climate Superbowl. To me making predictions is what science in general, and climate science in particular, is about. I like it when people make predictions. I'll watch with interest.

Astro is on notice at the moment. Your calendar should be getting quite crowded. Now you can remind us when one is due. I think that I am on the hook for -1.5 C global decline, but I can't remember the time frame. Perhaps you can remind me.

ENSO forecast, unusually, going negative
And, one to watch, oceans not really warming, well...at least for the last 7 days...
