    I don't understand the hate on Malik Reneau. He was my favorite player on last year's team

    So our powers as alumni are being taken away by a politician so he can appoint his own stooges. This is what is wrong with America.

    Is he back?

    I'm old so of course I hate it. But if it resonates with kids and grows the program in any way then go get it. When other old friends ask me about it I'll just grumble about young generations and nonsensical kid stuff. So I guess i'm complicit. Mascots are dumb. But if any other fanbase says anything about ours I'll defend the Bison's honor.

    I hope you're right. I really do. But my sunshine pump broke years ago

    There's a big gap between recruiting on Duke's level and filling your roster with a bunch of mid major players. Unfortunately we wound up a lot closer to the second. You can't compete where we need to compete with the haul we got. I'm not trying to say we need to recruit like Duke right now, but these recruits are low talent for our own history.

    I'm curious what you mean by this. If Bob didn't move the team to Indianapolis, the city of Baltimore would have seized the team through use of eminent domain. He did what he had to do

    Can you expand on what you mean by not hands off all the time? And isn't it good on all roads with lines, not just highways?

    Wold day for Team Penske: https://www.espn.com/auto/story/_/id/45213722/team-penske-crash-failed-inspections-indy-qualifying INDIANAPOLIS -- Qualifying day for the Indianapolis 500 -- the most important race in the eyes of Roger Penske -- turned into a disaster Sunday when all three of his cars were denied a chance to run for the pole. It came a year after the same three drivers swept the front row at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. The day got off to a horrible start when Scott McLaughlin, last year's pole sitter, crashed in morning practice and Team Penske decided it wouldn't even bother sending him out for the fast 12 shootout and just accept the 12th starting spot in the field. Then, moments before the shootout began, rival team owner Chip Ganassi accused Team Penske of cheating. Minutes later, the cars for two-time defending race winner Josef Newgarden and Will Power returned to the garage. IndyCar announced the two cars had failed inspection and would not be allowed to qualify. IndyCar technical director Kevin Blanch said Newgarden's and Power's cars had "a body fit violation on the rear attenuator." It is assumed that the modification was an attempt to gain an aerodynamic advantage. The rear attenuator is a safety device designed to absorb and reduce the force of impacts. Tim Cindric, president of Penske's IndyCar program, said Power passed inspection but officials flagged Newgarden's car. "It was a bit of randomness internally there that we need to sort out," Cindric said. He said IndyCar initially was going to allow modifications and Team Penske crew members were seen on pit road making adjustments. But Cindric acknowledged that modifications are not permitted after inspection "and you have to report to inspection on time, and we didn't do that right." He also said he understood if other teams complained about the process. Editor's Picks McLaughlin destroys car, misses shot at Indy pole 5h Larson endures minor damage in crash at Indy 2d Palou, Penske set pace at Indy 500 qualifying 1d The punishment meant that the front row from last year will now start side-by-side-by-side in the fourth row in 10th, 11th and 12th. Cindric said the modified attenuators on Newgarden's and Power's cars were different from McLaughlin's and that it was team error. A year ago, Team Penske was caught in a push-to-pass scandal in which Newgarden was found to have access to the additional boost of horsepower when he should not have. He was stripped of his season-opening victory and Penske suspended Cindric for two races, which included the Indy 500. Also suspended was team managing director Ron Ruzewski, Newgarden engineer Luke Mason and senior data engineer Robbie Atkinson. The fast 12 was also reduced to just nine cars attempting to advance to the final qualifying round, when six drivers compete for the pole for the May 25 race. The six to advance were Felix Rosenqvist, Pato O'Ward, rookie Robert Shwartzman, Scott Dixon, Alex Palou and Takuma Sato.

    After a fun couple of days qualifying, here is the starting grid for next week:
  12. Man I doubt it. That dude is just bad at basketball. I know what you're saying with some of our previous transfers, but I don't think he fits that category. Mark this tape, so maybe I'll be proven a fool, but KC will never be consistently good

    Plumbing question

    Disclaimer: I am not a plumber and I don't know code in Indiana. But I'm a DIYer enough that I gutted my three bathrooms and kitchen, did all the work (except electrical) myself. PVC plumbing is incredibly easy. Slip nuts are so easy you'll actually think you're missing something. Imo your biggest challenge is if your 90° elbow is glued (circled). If not, you can remove the broken nut, swivel it up, put a new one on, reconnect. 2 minute job. If you do have to adjust anything and you're good with DIY and your hands, you'll save hundreds of dollars on your own. Plus gain the knowledge for a future project. Youtube can walk you right through slip nuts.

    The coupling right before the slip nut joint is really complicating things for you. But if all that's broken is the slip nut then really this is just a $3 fix
