  1. I thought I heard 13 reps instead of 17, but even still...it's impressive for an 18 yr old. And my hearing may be off by 4 reps, cause I'm an old fart.
  2. Breaking news. Am-Bev (Budweiser) has just sold Bud Light to a craft brewery that created the brew, sold it TO Am-Bev, and is now buying it back. Am-Bev has reported lost $27 BILLION in revenue from the Mulvaney fiasco, and sales are not rebounding a bit.
  3. I would say "most" of the players getting NIL money (>50%) won't pay enough estimated tax and have a helluva surprise come tax time. (or worse yet, won't even file taxes)
  4. You should be "thankful" you actually got to talk with a person, and one that spoke English !! I always get the Taiwaneeze gal that lives in India, and you can't understand a word of what they say. They can never make a decision anyway, and the deadline for complaints ended yesterday, so....
  5. Trey's game has always been about "Team first, me third". I don't think he was ever encouraged to take more shots, but took them when they were wide open. Ja Morant he's not, but I'd take 5 of him on the team any day of the week. Plays his ass off. IF he's encouraged to shoot more (based on what I've heard he's getting that encouragement) and he actually takes 4-7 shots from deep, a game, he could easily be a 10-15 pt guy, when you add his ability to get to the rim on top of 3's, as well as his bucket a game from a steal he makes on defense.
  6. Don't have all the info I need to respond properly, but as a "new" gym old fart trying to get into shape, I started out with light weights too. And 5 months later, I've increased the weight, but not by a lot. I'm more interested in toning up than I'm in trying to bulk up. Some people prefer high amounts of reps, vs heavier weight. According to trainers at my gym, the results are the same, only more reps take a toll on your joints, vs heavier weight and less reps. Exercise is no guarantee for losing weight. If you exercise and eat like a fool, you'll still be fat (ask me how I know) Diet and exercise usually works better. As far as the video recording goes, maybe they're looking at their "form" of lifting to make sure they're doing it right. OR...maybe they are doing what you suggest and trying to find humorous clips to post. Either way it's not a big deal. Not trying to defend those people, but being one of these "new" gym guys, there could be another explanation that makes sense...to them at least. May not be to your liking, but it is what it is.
  7. You can't fix stupid...so don't try. Move on and enjoy the "regular" conversation and debate.
  8. I put him on ignore after I read his 2nd post. Works great.
  9. Rumor has it (not sure how valid it is) that he still does....
  10. I seem to remember somebody saying that Woody couldn't recruit....
  11. Had to be, but probably not disclosed. Things like this don't happen in an instant. New positions, or filling existing positions still need to go up the ladder for approval, even if it's a rubber stamp.
  12. As my Dad told me when I was a youngster: "Son, you might as well try to fix it yourself first. Because if you have to call the repair guy, he isn't gonna charge you anymore after you F it up, than if you called him in the first place". That tid-bit has saved me $100's of thousands of dollars over my lifetime in various capacities.
  13. I thought almost all the drivers had a "personal services" contract with the owners, as opposed to their own car brand deals. I suspect Bobby Rahal could certainly work out an arrangement with the other owner. Most of those guys are friends anyway. Many of them help each other in ways we don't always see in the media. I knew an owner/driver a long time ago and he shared a couple of things some of the big time owners did for him.
  14. YIKES! That sounds worse than heart stents. Stay well my friend!
  15. I think MM will be a good player for us, but he's still a freshman. New offense, new defense, gotta change his body, school, on his own for the first time. I don't think he will be consistently productive for us until mid season at the earliest. will likely depend on his work ethic and coach ability.
  16. No…that would be a teenager or 20 something.
  17. You should have a sticker either under the hood somewhere, or the owner's manual that says what kind of coolant you need. In order to do it right, you'll need to buy the gauges and hose connections (check ebay/amazon). Recharging is a piece of cake. Also, if you have access to an air compressor, blow out your AC radiator from the back side if you can, then hose it down real good (not pressure wash it). You may have a bunch of crud in the cooling fins as well as low on coolant. If you can pull a vacuum on the system, that will tell if you if you a leak some where. Is this a recent thing? Was it cold enough last summer?
  18. Maybe Spencer would be content @ 20'ish minutes a game if he got the same volume of shots, and most were open. Woody's been really good at getting guys open looks. We just haven't had somebody consistently knock 'em down. And I would think our NIL breadcrumbs would be more than RU's NIL or most of the other schools. Like anything else in life you earn it. But like Woody says: "If you're looking for only a paycheck, we don't want you"
  19. Saw a "brief" interview with Marco A yesterday. He was not a happy camper....at all. Almost threw his team under the bus, but stopped short, but did say it was embarrassing.
  20. That's why I buy 1 model trim above the base model all the time. I can disconnect this crap without comprising other necessity stuff. If you get an option pkg, or higher trim levels, you will experience what your son did, because there are only so many circuits that they can use. So if you disconnect one wire, you screw up 3-5 other things.
  21. Wife's Edge has these. I disabled them the first time I drove it. Bugged the crap out of me, and way too sensitive. Just like that stupid lane sensor.
