    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    I have seen nothing to change my mind that what will happen is a super league. The 20ish blue bloods will ascend, and have tons of money, antitrust, pay players, et al. The schools may license off the rights to the teams to avoid entanglements and ugliness. Because thats what TV geniuses want...

    Transfer Portal Tracker

    With everything happening with NIL, and the NCAA officially and permanently neutered... no one cares about texts. And nothing will happen. I am sure we would all love if something bad happened to the Hox on this, but it won't. And if it was any other team, I don't think any of us would care...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    Yeah, I would just use the batteries (standard or car) for emergency power, not to run anything at night. The kicker is the 10kWh is like a half day of "normal" usage. Now, if you stop using the dryer and get the female people to actually turn lights off, it's a lot more than that lol. In...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    This deserves its own thread. Dads everywhere (including me) are having a cow that you haven't had ANY of this important preventative mx done! Do you only drive 1,000 miles a year?? :)

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I would estimate 50% of repair work done by shops is engine and transmission related. Those are the hottest, most moving parts in the vehicle, that's where things fail. That's kind of a PFA %, but I bet it's close. Maybe someone in the business could comment and educate us. Only info I...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I love electric motors, they are simple and reliable, but "lifetime gear oil" is really really dumb imho. As someone who has Jags that have multiple "lifetime fluid" systems (transmission, rear diffs, transaxle box) I can promise you that "lifetime" is only accurate if you expect the car to...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I posted this in the solar power thread, but will repeat here. I have a 7kW system at home, and put in a 10kWh battery backup system in. Yes the batteries were more $ than the system. If I had to do it over, I would NOT put in the batteries, but would get the 2-way charger and an EV. Then...

    Friday OT: Rooster or Owl

    Ditto. I can't sleep once the sun comes up really, so I kind of have to be in bed by 11ish. But 7 hours is plenty of sleep for me. Have to say, best sleep I ever had was post-derecho, when we had no power for 12 days. Basically in bed around 9pm because it got dark and no power for lights to...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I will have to buy a totaled EV at some point, and turn the batteries into additional storage for the home solar! Neat!

    2023-2024 MBB computer projections thread

    KSU seems pretty sulky right about now LOL. I could see Texas going that way except for games they take personal (e.g. Tech, ISU). Maybe Cincy will hang in there. A lot of that depends on the coach - keeping the team together and motivated thru a rough patch, lest that rough patch becomes a...

    Only Lunardi is worse. Bracketology is less scientifically rigorous than astrology. Until march 1, its just an excuse to clickbait. And by then, you can just take your net, divide by 4, and figure plus/minus 1.

    Tang apology

    Starting to get Prohm vibes from Tang. Maybe he just really isn't a very good coach, just a decent recruiter who was a great assistant. I don't watch enough KSU ball to have an opinion about how well coached they really are or aren't.

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    Way better positioned than Nubs FB. Plenty of talent around Indiana and B1G money available. Just need to hire the right coach. They had Kelvin Sampson and were rocking, until they got caught cheating. Since then its been one bad hire after another. They're just a good hire away from...

    2024-25 ISU FB Early Predictions and Offseason Discussion

    Wins: UND, Ark St, Cincy, Baylor, UCF Losses: at UU, at UI, at WV Toss-ups: Tech, KSU, at Hou, at KU So put me down for 7-5. FWIW, last year I thought 5-7. I think I can be forgiven for that, many were much more pessimistic, and new QB, etc was a major concern. But worse, 2 of my 3...

    Not w Rick Barnes in charge. Great guy, good putting a team together, but just dreadful in big games. He is the Palpatine to Matt Painters Vader.
