better.  But between the travel and the weather (rain and 49 degrees) do you feel like it really benefits us? 

Some info for you re: impact of rain.  You would think that bad weather is a big disadvantage for a California team.  Hogan's a mudder.  He's known to play very well in the rain dating back to high school.  We got a receiver (Rector) and an offensive lineman (Garnett) that are from Washington so presumably they know how to run around under wet conditions.

In the recent past, when we had a dominant running game, bad weather was probably a net advantage for us.  This year, it's likely a net disadvantage.
