It will hit the low 60's here today, and it's very nice.

TOMORROW - the Apple Cup, WSU vs. the lowly Washington dawgz, for the PAC-12 North Division crown!!

GO, COUGS!!

The size is certainly impressive.

Do ever people disappear in your neighborhood without a trace?

Long Pig is not on the menu, but that smoker will hold about a 22-pound turkey. That's big enough to fuel dinner, snacks for a week, and then smoked turkey enchiladas. There's also some to take home for both daughters.

You ought to see the size of the trailer-mounted smokers down deepiahearta Texas. Those boys are serious about smoking monster briskets, and they can feed a lotta folks!

This year we're going to the home of first daughter...landmark event! Invite the parents for dinner instead of going home! So I settled for smoking a 13-pound turkey to fuel us and friends at Friday's Washington State vs. University of Washington (aka: the lowly and much despised dawgz) Apple Cup game.

This is not only the BIG rivalry game of the year, but will determine the winner of the PAC-12 North Division. You might say it's for all the apples. Whoever wins plays in the PAC-12 Championship game. If the dawgz win, they have an outside chance of getting into the national championship playoff. We'd love to ruin those hopes.

All you folks are welcome to join me in rooting for the Cougs tomorrow at 3:30 PM ET, 12:30 PT. It should be a good game and the Cougs will have to take a very big bite to win this one.

Nope, no snow at this low elevation of 5000 feet. There's enough for the ski areas at 9000+ feet to open, though.

It's close to 60 degrees today in Fort Collins and Denver.
