    Jeremiah Williams to the transfer portal.

    I don't want Fran or his style. But you can't say we were an offensive juggernaut this year. Our bow out in the tourney was fricking embarassing. And we had several of those leading up to that too.

    Do you have a cleaning person?

    We do currently (just started back up). It was more of a pain when the kids were toddlers basically picking everything up so she could clean. It's not AS bad now to prep. Honestly feel like we do a better job not letting clutter build up if we start with it clean. Then it's just 15 - 20 mins one...

    I can't claim to be an expert in this but for my roof claim last year I got two checks. An initial one and then another afterwards. They did replace the whole roof and gutters. Have you contacted another contractor? You may want to get one that is more familiar with ins claims. I used...

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

    I disagree, I think a large % of mini van owners move away from them once they are done with that phase of life. They are incredibly useful when kids are young but eventually you don't want or need one.

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

    Never. Infrastructure sucks for charging. Crap for range. Materials for batteries are not sourced in a good way or something that can be maintained. Cost to replace a battery when it reaches its lifespan (cell phones anyone?) Higher cost for a vehicle without that level of quality. Why pay BMW...

    Non storm question but just in general forecasting question. Looking out at the 10 day on a variety of sites and potential impacts to a travel plans. If they are forecasting a rainy stretch or rainy weather in general what the heck is that based on? Is it generally just a guess on the normal...

    Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application

    Get some NutriLime from Earl May. Apply liberally or ask someone there how much. Or only other thing I've found that works is taking a pitcher of water with me out on every potty break. I can tell every spring when I was lazy and didn't.

    That will actually help a lot. Also don't be afraid to keep trying different saddles. Everyone seems to have their favorite.

    Don't know if you're dead set on a brand name but I've been really pleased with these Amazon specials. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Z2SMQ66/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1 My wife bought a nice pair of Pearl Izumi and some Baleaf brand biking shorts. She keeps...

    Yeah, it sucks but normal for Iowa in the Spring. Had a road ride planned with the wife but she opted out to ride the trainer instead and I'll go ride in the woods on the mtn bike.

    28 will be tight on the older road bikes but go with 28 if you can. You won't really even notice much of a rolling resistance difference but will improve ride quality.

    Will this be at all similar to last week? As in once the front is thru we can expect calm weather? Or a several hour long storm train thru the evening?

    What do you think of Caitlin Clark?

    She's a once in a generation player. Dominated in HS and now dominating in college. Saw courtside what she could do in HS and not surprised at her college career.

    Ah, the timely Iowa tradition of being done with snow and now moving on to days of insane wind as the cold/warm fronts battle for control. Just looked at Wed/Thur next week...54 and 53 mile wind gust predicted. As a biker I love and hate this time of year. As a biker I love it, oh look, it's 70...

    Nothing but a money grab, tournament officials trying to host a USSSA baseball tourney in March. "hey, let's make sure the kids learn to hate this sport by playing in the most miserable conditions possible"

    ***Official ISU-Pitt postgame thread***

    I remember last year some analysis discussion on the number of games we struggled to break 40 or 50 pts in a game. Appears those ghosts still exist and here we are ending the season in a game we barely broke 40. Disappointing that wasn't fixed this year.

    Should we have even been a tournament team?

    We've been either a barely make the NIT tourney team or FInal Four caliber team all year. Constantly bouncing between both. It sucks but yeah, there is some merit to the OP asking if we are even a tournament team. We surely didn't look like one today nor at the end of the season.
