Random Thoughts 15: Crystal Clear 2021 Edition

I agree. I think we may even get tickets since two will be down there now. We would go with the cheap ones so when we missed games, no biggee.

There are some hardcore Prohm haters. Theyappear to only be happy if JP would basically take Steve to center court of the next home game at halftime and shoot him in the back of the head. Several of the people are the type that would be throwing junk at him at the funeral. I don’t understand how you can hate someone that much, especially someone you don’t even really know.

Fixed for accuracy. I agree with you. The hate is ridiculous.

Well crap, they came close several times but just couldn't pull it off.

I'm sorry guys, the Wisconsin badgers let you all down

Bucky simply doesn't look very good right now.

What happened with Reuvers? Hurt? I haven't kept up. And Micah is still productive but something's off there too.

Daughter drove all alone for the first time this morning. She got up before dawn and drove to Han's Bakery to get our birthday boy a giant birthday donut.

Several of the people are the type that would be throwing junk at him as he left then. I don’t understand how you can hate someone that much, especially someone you don’t even really know.

Biggest thing is it has no impact on your day to day life. Dont get me wrong, I hate losing more than just about anyone, but BB, and FB, dont really impact my life.

Prohm is also a great guy, really hard to hate him. Now, if Fran was our coach and was having these results, by all means treat him like this.

Happy birthday Velo?????? Or is it your sons or her boyfriend’s?

It would be one thing if he's someone who himself is saying or doing hateful things or something but he's just a basketball coach at a school that's been pretty good at basketball in the big picture of college basketball.

That last part is something some fans don't seem to understand.

The youngest is officially a teenager today. And I think he has more of a moustache than I had when I graduated (which isn't saying that much ;-D ).

Well I became unpopular in the Prohm must go thread when I said no matter who the coach is we'll sell 9-10,000 season tickets. If people look at our season ticket #'s the fact is we sell those yr in and yr out no matter what. The WBB team sells just under 10,000 every yr even though actual attendance for most games is 5-7000 I'm guessing. Those folks just don't realize the long term season ticket people just look at it as a donation to ISU with hopefully some entertainment value thrown in. It wasn't worth arguing with them about though.

Well thanks for letting me vent as always RTT peeps.

@SaraV did the car thaw out yet?

A couple thoughts:
1. I've never met anyone who considered it a donation. Everyone I've met calls it a purchase and nothing more.
2. There were reports of massive drops during the McD years. People just aren't going to keep buying tickets for this level of play.

You know this has got to be hard on him. It's not like he thinks the team play is acceptable. Not sure what has gone so wrong.

Drove by myself for the first time the same day I got my license. And it was to somewhere a good 5+ miles away. My parents were trusting.

And @NWICY , it isn't looking all that great for the car. It was in all day yesterday, and they still couldn't figure out why it won't start. 2004 Blazer with 285K+ on it...it's certainly put in its work.

 

[CycloneErik]

Huh. WP sent out a dress code reminder today because "there are several new members of the team."

They disapprove of clothing with another school's logo. My ISU jacket has been noted before (on day 1).
I guess they should provide something or pay better.

Well I guess we will just disagree on this one.

Mrs. Velo was nervous about it since it was before dawn, she was driving 15-20 miles round trip, and due to the temperature we weren't sure if there might be icy patches out there. I guess I was less nervous because I have been doing most of the driving with her and I know she is a good driver for a rookie. I think it made Mom feel a little better knowing that she was going to pick up her friend on the way so she wouldn't be going into/out of the bakery alone.

 

[NWICY]

@VeloClone, so were the pastries good?

 

[Entropy]

Had to bring my car back in. Went to leave work, backed up out of my spot, put it in drive, didn't move. Transmission is low on fluid. Luckily we had the right fluid at work, put about 6 quarts in. Manual says it holds 11. I've never noticed any red spots under my car at home or work so I'm not so sure it's a leak. It's under warranty so the most I'll pay is $100.

Oh and I'm team Lutheran.

I'm going to assume it doesn't smell like the fluid is burning up (roasted transmission is a terrible smell).

That's quite the conundrum on where it's ending up at. I wonder if there is any spatter on the underbelly of the car. Weak seal under load?

Yeah...old girls get a bit of a hitch in their git-along during weather extremes...

It makes me smile when I check my notifications & see multiple notifications from "oldman". Yup...he's reading through RTT and getting caught up again.

Nope. Hopefully they're looking at it now and it's nothing major. It's a 3 year old car and I've only had it since July.

@VeloClone, so were the pastries good?

They got just one Texas Donut, but the thing is plate sized. Son ate three-eighths of it, daughter and I each ate an eighth of it. White donut with chocolate frosting and...



Yes it is tasty!

@jcyclonee knows what I am talking about.
