Car broke down outside of Cincinnati (clutch pack, could be entire transmission, and it's a hybrid). Had to get a tow truck to get car to only mechanic open, then had to get an Uber to Cincinnati airport to get rental car, then have to get it towed back to dealer (70 miles away) to see if they'll honor a bulletin (one step short of a recall). But, if you're ever around Cleves Ohio, I absolutely cannot recommened NK&L Auto enough! They were legit the nicest people ever (bonus point, they have a Great Dane!)

jk34 Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 So what you're really saying is, a Garcia signing and IUFB /IUWBB top 25, would ease the mental exhaustion a little. It's so nice to hear about the good, honest small people out there! Good luck. mamasa and HoosierAloha 2 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Hey mamasa. Really sorry to hear about your car breakdown but you still found the means to keep us updated on IUWBB. That's dedication. Thank you. mamasa, ALASKA HOOSIER, HoosierAloha and 1 other 4 Quote
Class of '66 Old Fart Posted November 10, 2019 Posted November 10, 2019 Final Box Score Game Summary I think our freshman MacKenzie Holmes knows how to play this game -- 22 pts on 9-9 FG and 4-5 FT and added 5 reb. Chanel Wilson bouncing back from her injuries with 10 pts. and 7 assists. It's early and the competition has been weak but it sure looks like we've got a really strong arsenal and have some really solid strength coming off the bench.
