Browns Schedule Thread

[Zombo]

I'm planning on Tampa, New Orleans, and an early season game in Cleveland.

I hereby challenge Ghoolie to fisticuffs at all three locations.

Tampa is a lock Z, other away games I'm considering are New Orleans, Denver, and a return to Houston. Depending on finances, and what time of year the games are. The last Bucs game in October was the hottest game I've ever been at- 95 in the shade.  Tour got kidnapped by the relatives last year, and I never had the chance to meet up with him.

Tentatively planning for all 3 Gulf Coast games and some close by games we can drive to.

Not exactly an 0-16 schedule, some tough teams HOWEVER maybe steal a few in their division? 

4-12 maybe, 6-10 with my brown & orange glasses on. GO BROWNS!

NOLA.

[gumby73]

anyone care to explain why we get the joy again of going to Houston? we passed on D. Watson at #12. Now we may pass on a non-Watson team gift at #4 pick, from Houston to trade down to Bills at #12 & 22 again? am convinced, just to avoid all the picks with 2's in them

Does Denver ever play here?

Yeah, looked it up and its pretty much split 50/50. Not sure why it seems like we always play them there.

Our track record vs them is awful, though. That I do know.

Just to remind you all that there is a thread here already started on the Schedule.   As I see that they released the pre-season schedule.....but not the regular schedule.  As I noted elsewhere....I think they want to give a week's head start on selling tickets to these worthless preseason games.

So I suspect that the real schedule will likely come out about a week from today.....which is one week before the draft.

Hurricane Forecast.  Unfortunately, it plays a prime factor in plans.

https://weather.com/storms/hurricane/news/2018-04-04-hurricane-season-forecast-atlantic-colorado-state

Also:

- Prediction: 2018 Atlantic Basin Hurricane Season —-
(which includes the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico)
As predicted by Mr. Dilley and GWO – last year (2017) was the costliest year on record for the United States, and one of the most destructive. Mr. Dilley says that “some United States zones are currently in their strongest hurricane landfall cycle in 40 to 70-years.” This is a Natural Climate Pulse Cycle that produced extremely active and dangerous hurricane conditions in some zones back in the 1930s and 1940s – and is now repeating.

Mr. Dilley predicts that 2018 will be somewhat of a repeat of 2017 – and possibly another record breaker. Although it will be strikingly similar to last year- some hurricane landfalls will occur in different locations this year. You can expect 16 named storms, 8 hurricanes, 4 major hurricanes, potential for 4 United States hurricane landfalls – 2 of which will likely be major impact storms. There is the potential for 6 named storms making United States landfalls. On the average, the entire Atlantic Basin has 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 2.7 major hurricanes.

The reason for another destructive hurricane season is 3-fold. The ocean water temperatures continue to run warmer than normal across most of the Atlantic Basin (red and orange in the graphic), and especially in the Caribbean region and the Atlantic near the United States. This is very similar to the ocean temperatures of last year, and this will again be conducive for tropical storms and/or hurricanes forming and/or strengthening close to the United States. Mr. Dilley also expects the Bermuda-Azores High Pressure Center will again be in a favorable location – thus allowing more named storms to maintain strength – or strengthen as they move from east to west across the Atlantic toward the United States.

I just have to wait for the schedule dates.  I am already doing 5-6 away games when I go to Cleveland, but do plan at least 1-2 real away games.

New Orleans is always doable.  Our favorite American city to visit. Been to 3 games there to this point.  Denver, Houston, and Cincy are other options.  Tampa is as well.  We have a home in Venice, and I have a brother who lives in the TB area, but we go down there 4-5 times a year.  We just spent 5 weeks down there.  It would have to be a late season game.  I don't want to go for a September or October game when it is likely to still be pushing 90 degrees.  No wonder Gatorade was developed a few miles up the road.
