what is the prevailing wind

    SEATTLE -- For at least this season opener, there is much less hoopla focused on Washington coach Chris Petersen. [b]Water Bottle Hydro Flask Coffee 12 oz Coffee Pacific[/b] .This time, all the hype surrounds his team.Im not really worried about that at this point. Thats been going on forever, Petersen said of the attention. Our kids have worked hard, practiced hard. No matter how this game turns out, that just doesnt matter. Its going to be a hard-fought, tough game; theres just a lot of uncertainty. Its one game and one game at a time and one play at a time -- all that corny coaching stuff is true.No. 14 Washington opens the season on Saturday hosting Rutgers burdened with the label of being the it team in the Pac-12 this year that could jump into contention for a conference crown. Those projections dont come without justification -- the Huskies return one of the strongest defenses in the country, not to mention sophomore offensive standouts in quarterback Jake Browning and running back Myles Gaskin.The preseason ranking for Washington was its highest since 2002 and came after a rocky 7-6 season last year. The hype is something that Petersen despises and hes tried to temper throughout the Huskies fall camp.Saturday brings Washingtons first opportunity to try to justify those lofty expectations against a Rutgers team that has far more questions surrounding it than Petersen would like to see in an opening opponent.Had a long offseason to work on some things, but then you couple that with a brand-new staff across the board ... youre watching tapes of where they came from, but then they are going to have their own ideas that are tailored to their personnel, Petersen said. So thats probably the biggest challenge is, a team like this we wish we didnt have right out of the gate, had a little bit of tape.For Petersen, this opener is different from his previous two at Washington. Two years ago was his highly anticipated debut at Hawaii after he was finally lured away from Boise State. A year ago, Petersen was in the spotlight throughout the offseason as he prepared the Huskies to open the season back on the blue turf at Boise State that he helped make famous.Now, its his team that will face the most scrutiny.It certainly feels different than (Boise). Thats a good one to have behind us, Petersen said. But not really. I think theres a lot of, for everybody, the uncertainty of getting back into it, the intensity of game week and then the first game, making sure everyones calmed down. Those first games, theres a lot of emotion . and part of the trick is calming down and keeping it all in perspective so we can play and coach at a high level.Washington will be without wide receiver Brayden Lenius for the first three games of the season due to a suspension for violating team rules. Lenius had been slowed by injuries during fall camp but was noticeably absent from the depth chart released Monday. Lenius had 26 catches for 307 yards and three touchdowns last season as a sophomore.Well see where he goes from there after those first three games, Petersen said.

William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period. [b]Hydro Flask Straw Lid 32 Oz[/b] . Each of Houstons starters scored in double figures as the Rockets improved to 2-0 against the Spurs this season, with both victories coming on the road. They also moved within 3 1/2 games of San Antonio (22-7) for the lead the Southwest Division.

TROON, Scotland -- Heres an updated weather forecast for the next four days at the 145th Open Championship: It might rain. It might not be the kind of light, fluffy rain that feels refreshing on a lazy afternoon, either. It might be hard, heavy droplets pounding down from the heavens that force everyone to run for cover. Or it might not even feel like its barreling down from the sky, instead swept up by the wind and forming the type of sideways rain that so often permeates this golf tournament. It might do this for an extended period of time every day. It might keep going, too, day and night, through the end of the weekend, until a rain-soaked, waterlogged champion is eventually awarded the Claret Jug.Or it might not.The reality is that predicting the weather here remains a bigger mystery than trying to extricate oneself from the Coffin Bunker. Its more inconsistent than a 20-handicappers putting stroke (and sometimes uglier). It might be nasty all morning then warm and sunny all afternoon. It might rain for five minutes, then turn to sun, then to wind. Wash, rinse, repeat. In perhaps the most quizzical scenario, it might be totally calm on the first tee and completely bonkers on the ninth green. At the same time.That was the case last year, when much of Saturdays round at the Old Course was suspended due to overly windy conditions on the far end of the course, while thousands of spectators spent the day reveling in sunshine and a light breeze throughout the town of St. Andrews. With all due respect to Bob Dylan, there were more questions than answers blowin in the wind.Royal Troon sports similar physical characteristics to St Andrews, in that the outward nine holes all face to the east, meaning players make the turn at the furthest part of the property from the clubhouse, then literally turn around and head inwardly west, into what is the prevailing wind.As for the official weather outlook, heres the beginning of the forecast for each of the four tournament days:Thursday: Fine and mainly dry with some sunshine throughout the day...(Well, that doesnt sound too bad.)Friday: Mostly cloudy with rain at times ...(A bit vague, but we can work with this.)Saturday: Details remain uncertain at present...(Hey, nothing like a little honesty.)Sunday: Like SSaturday, details remain uncertain. [b]Water Bottle Hydro Flask 24 oz Standard Mouth Pacific[/b]. .(OK, lets call it brutal honesty.)What we do know -- or at least, what we think we know -- is that this weeks weather wont be the worst in recent Open Championship memory.The worst Open weather Ive ever played in was 2002 at Muirfield, Colin Montgomerie said this week, echoing the sentiment of anyone else in that field. That was horrific.The third round that year was contested in pouring rain, heavy wind and chilled temperatures. The lasting image of that day was Tiger Woods, in the thick of his prime, posting his lone birdie on the 17th hole then dramatically raising his arms and taking a sarcastic bow on his way to shooting an 81.I regret scoring 74 on the second day, because that put me out late in the awful weather, Monty said with a smile. But that was the worst ever. I had lost circulation by the fifth hole. I had sent in for -- I was with Callaway -- you know these big, big mitts in July. Whats going on? It was crazy.For those who werent around 14 years ago, the tournament which provided the worst conditions that youll remember was a major, but not this one.Just three years ago, the second round of the PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club was plagued by a furious storm that never halted play.Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano refused to hit the tee shot on 18, because there was standing water on the teebox, let alone the greens, Jordan Spieth remembered. But they werent blowing the horn. We couldnt even see the fairway, it was raining so hard. But we played through it.Even Shane Lowry, from the not-so-warm-and-sunny country of Ireland, agreed with this assessment. I was one of the first groups out on Friday morning, and it was just brutal weather, he said. That was probably the worst rain and the worst wind I played.That might not happen this week. There might not be any sideways rain or enough wind to barely keep the flagsticks in the holes. We might not witness any world-class players shooting 81, then bowing sarcastically to the crowd. The weather might not be as ugly as possible.Then again, it might. Hey, its still early. And as they say, details remain uncertain.
