Over the past two weeks, many head coaches traveled northeast of Atlanta to catch a glimpse of the country's No. 1 prospect for the Class of 2013, called "the Southeast's best prospect since the early 1980s"

If you have a few hours, the college students might like the McWane Science Center. It's a multi-floor hands-on science demonstration museum that is really fun and interesting, and it has a real IMAX dome theater (with a movie about tornadoes).

You can lie down on a bed of nails, work with magnets and light beams, see fossils, stand in hurricane-force winds, and more.

Of course it does have an admission fee, but they may be willing to work with you or waive it.

I don't think any of those are free, but if you call ahead and explain what you're doing, they may give you a pass.

The Birmingham Botanical Gardens near the zoo are free.

I think the Civil Rights Institute is free on Sundays.

The McWane Science Center is really cool, but there is an entry fee.

How much time do you have to expend? If it's quick and close, Vulcan is probably your best bet for a more "iconic" stop.

By the way, thank you for your service work in Birmingham!

I usually don't like these types of maps due to the wild inaccuracies, but taken as a rough approximation, this one is pretty cool.

Of course we know that there are pockets of fans everywhere inside the other regions, and this doesn't reflect density, but it does do a good job of showing the "home" turf.

I also notice how Mizzou and A&M fit better geographically with the SEC than I initially realized.

Wow, if that's true about the producer contacting BMX and purposefully stating "no warning," then that changes everything!

It's pretty clear that James Spann was on the air continuously (doing live weather) for three or four hours before the fatalities occurred, notwithstanding the SPC outlooks and other media coverage leading up to it.

Spann says, "Interview with ABC done. Am thankful they responded. I have no idea what they will use, if any at all, but I will be watching tonight."

I agree with the sentiment about it being the wrong thing to say, but I think it's pretty clear that whoever wrote her teleprompter copy was simply trying to imply sensationalism (associated with the severity of the system), not meaning that there was literally "no warning."

A retraction should be in order, but I think it was probably a mistake in terminology and not a direct assault on meteorologists.

Rivals says this guy reminds them of Shaun Ellis. Nice pickup.

Man, that article is laying it on thick.

Based on some of the message boards over the past two years, I can only wonder how fans feel about rewarding his conference record (6-11) over the past two seasons.

Does he really deserve an extension, raise, and a new buyout clause right now just because he "adds so much value?"

What's the general sentiment in Austin?

I think maybe you forgot the link, or I'm just missing something.
