On a whimsy, I somehow got on the thought track of Tennessee, that took me to an in-state kid (O'Brien) that I remember MSU was courting... who spurned MSU for the vols.  So, I thought, how's he panning out?  

Turns out he's the starting DT as a redshirt Soph.  Not bad.  Oh, and then there's this....(officially, no glass houses.  By the sounds of it, just kids being kids, but the mug shot is pretty good)

The world's loudest sound  OCT 02 2014

Krakatoa

The sound made by the Krakatoa volcanic eruption in 1883 was so loud it ruptured eardrums of people 40 miles away, travelled around the world four times, and was clearly heard 3,000 miles away.

Think, for a moment, just how crazy this is. If you're in Boston and someone tells you that they heard a sound coming from New York City, you're probably going to give them a funny look. But Boston is a mere 200 miles from New York. What we're talking about here is like being in Boston and clearly hearing a noise coming from Dublin, Ireland. Travelling at the speed of sound (766 miles or 1,233 kilometers per hour), it takes a noise about 4 hours to cover that distance. This is the most distant sound that has ever been heard in recorded history.

A much much smaller eruption occurred recently in Papua New Guinea. From the video, you can get a tiny sense of the sonic damage unleashed by Krakatoa:

Holy smoking Toledos indeed. On Reddit, a user details how loud a Saturn V rocket is and what the effects would be at different distances. At very close range, the sound from the Saturn V measures an incredible 220 db, loud enough to melt concrete just from the sound.

At 500 meters, 155 db you would experience painful, violent shaking in your entire body, you would feel compressed, as though deep underwater. Your vision would blur, breathing would be very difficult, your eardrums are obviously a lost cause, even with advanced active noise cancelling protection you could experience permanent damage. This is the sort of sound level aircraft mechanics sometimes experience for short periods of time. Almost twice as "loud" as putting your ear up to the exhaust of a formula 1 car. The air temperature would drop significantly, perhaps 10-25 degrees F, becoming suddenly cold because of the air being so violently stretched and moved.

Even at three miles away, the sound is loud enough to cause permanent hearing damage. But that's nothing compared to the Krakatoa sound. The Saturn V sound is ~170 db at 100 meters away while the Krakatoa explosion was that loud 100 miles away! What happens at 170 db?

...you would be unable to breathe or likely see at all from the sound pressure, glass would shatter, fog would be generated as the water in the air dropped out of suspension in the pressure waves, your house at this distance would have a roughly 50% chance of being torn apart from sound pressure alone. Military stun grenades reach this volume for a split second... if they are placed up to your face. Survival chance from sound alone, minimal, you would certainly experience permanent deafness but probably also organ damage.

2015 5-star PF Caleb Swanigan (@Biggs_Swanigan) of Fort Wayne (IN) Homestead just walked by me here at Michigan State.

[Turtleneck]

Class of 15? What is he waiting on? 247 says he is big MSU lean.

Maybe we should start an official basketball recruiting thread (and football)??

[Guest]

Spring signing period.

Adding him to Davis, Lone Wolf and Ahrens, would put us in or very close to a top 5 class.  

The comparison I've seen repeatedly for Swanigan is Z-Bo.

Caleb Swanigan (No. 8)

Swanigan's situation is different as he went from a rising junior to a senior when he reclassified this summer.

"I wanted to give myself time to go through the process, because when I reclassified, it accelerated the process," Swanigan said. "This gives schools who were not recruiting me a chance to see me and me to meet them. I went on unofficial visits it to Arizona, Duke, Kentucky, Purdue and Michigan State, and I plan on going to Cal unofficially.

"During the season, I will take some official visits during conference play. I want to see how the players have improved. I also want to see if any coaches move after the season."

Swanigan said one piece of advice on how to manage the process has stuck out to him so far.

"Go where there is a need [for position], not just who needs a player," he said. "Go where I have a chance to play through my mistakes and go to someone who wants me both on the court and as a person. My decision will probably come after my season is over."

[Turtleneck]

So UK will swoop in and grab him?

Perhaps, never count Calipari out.

With him ranked #8 in the country and Davis #15 it would be a strong class if we get him.
