I saw these things just outside Nevada a couple weeks ago and wondered what they were. Well, it turns out that they're further proof that not burning dead dinosaurs is indeed fatal to present day birds.

The plant is a "mega-trap" for birds: The focused light attracts the avians, and then fries them in midair.

Edit: Dammit. Can the title be edited to reflect plural birds?

That looks like what I saw recently about something in South America. If it's the same thing, then it's full of molten salt (around 1000deg F) that is circulated around to drive a steam turbine. Pretty cool. Didn't know that it also makes fried chicken. Double bonus!!!

      Well, not a lot to go on other than the attached video on Crosby. Haven't found an entire game yet. This staff has done a great job with juco pickups over the years, so I can't question this one. Curious why the lack of quality offers though. The Thomas signing is ok considering he just started his senior season in high school. He looks a legit 6-7 with a very good body build. He could develop his game more but he is not the "great" recruit as advertised. I have subscribed to NFHS for a number of years now and recently saw his playoff game against Plano East last year. He's an above average HS center (presently) on a loaded Allen team. I'm sure we signed him to play the 4 as he does not have a perimeter game. Wish we had signed DJ Hall of Plano East who is better. Kid signed with Texas State as their highest recruit ever. Never saw any UNT offers.

      What is this program missing?

      Defensive recruiting/coaches have taken a backseat to offensive recruiting/coaches. I truly hope Morris quickly figures out that defense is necessary for winning. We just can’t rely on out scoring teams. I also hope Morris starts protecting the defense with his offensive play calls. When the defense just got off the field after a long drive by the other team, don’t be so aggressive with long passes that have us turning the ball over in less than a minute. Try to burn some clock and sustain a drive allowing the defense to rest and get adjustments from coaches.

      There is a certain coach in the Piney Woods that fits that criteria and has wanted to be at UNT for years.

      Its all about recruiting, it takes years for a coach to develop a consistent recruiting cycle, and Morris has only had one full year of recruiting, I do think the program is going in the right direction.
