Had a $200 coffee maker delivered a few years ago. It was a box in a box, and they mixed up orders. I still got my items and when I contacted them about it, they just told me to keep it.


I had similar. $250 Hoover carpet cleaner delivered to house that I didn’t order. They said just keep it.

Just follow Pete Thamel on Twitter/X. He’ll have it out pretty quick.
Any idea why Clark switched from the CA case to the KY case?
Our hurricane expert rdsdc has been tracking this international stuff better than anyone. Let him chime in.
From the article:

quote:

Also expected to play are fifth-year senior guards Skyy Clark and Donovan Dent, who each played at UCLA last season and won a court injunction as have many other athletes in all sports in various eligibility lawsuits against the NCAA.


Didn't one of these lose their case last week on appeal?
Google AI says 5-5 first made public early April.
quote:

The timing of 5-5 was inexcusable. The players losing eligibility had until March 26th to either enter the portal and sit idly by without any current eligibility remaining - or - make a business decision such as NFL/NBA tryouts.


Was 5-5 known to be coming down the pipe on or before 3/26? I don’t remember timeframe of when the talks about 5-5 started.

re: Basketball schedule oddity

Normally have an “open date” during conference play. Last year played 1/31 then not again until 2/7.

I genuinely hope we have some worst case scenario back up plans figured out.


There is a Rashad King in the Louisiana suit that got the preliminary injunction. I don't know if that is the same one from last year but if so is a fall back.
A little speculation but I think LSU knew this was coming today. Kiffin's press conference this week was originally scheduled for today due to Labor Day and was moved to Monday at some point. I guess wanted to avoid a dog and pony show at his presser.

This ruling won't impact his reelection lol


I read somewhere earlier this week he is unopposed for his bench seat.

Looking for LVP Flooring Deals

Posted by ThighMeat on 8/22/26 at 3:49 pm
Replacing flooring at hunting camp and going LVP route. It’s a camp so very low and seasonal traffic. Have found some at Floor Trader that will work in the 1.70-2.00/sq ft range. Anyone know of any places with better pricing? Fine with this pricing but didn’t know if may be missing out on even better pricing somewhere. TIA

re: RJ Luis granted injunction

Posted by ThighMeat on 8/19/26 at 4:51 pm to
Maybe i missed this but has Luis asked for an additional year from the NCAA and it was denied? Not an attorney nor do i understand legalese but wouldn't something negatively have to have been ruled against him for him to pursue an injunction?
There is an attorney at Taylor Porter that is a guru in this NCAA stuff. Likely him.

re: Does anyone have starlink?

I have it at my hunting camp. For the time being we have just been sitting it in yard when we get there and picking up when we leave. I have a post in the ground where our Hughesnet (such trash) dish was mounted. I am buying the adapter to mount it to that pole. Haven’t decided if will leave up or continue to take down. Have plenty of trees around and wouldn’t want it destroyed by a falling limb. Happened to dish satellite plenty of times.

re: First eagle!

Posted by ThighMeat on 8/15/26 at 2:54 pm to
Congrats! I don’t know if I have made an eagle or not. I’m not very good at golf but have made a hole in one and an albatross. But was immediately humbled after each. 9 on hole following hole in one and topped tee shot in ditch about 20 feet in front of me after albatross.

re: Rule Change that makes sense

Posted by ThighMeat on 8/15/26 at 8:47 am to
Unless someone can tell me a good reason the rule exists because I can’t think of one. Eliminate half the distance to the goal yardage mark off on penalties. They should be marked off as many yards as is available on the field.

This isn’t anything new. My son is 25 now. When he was 12 there was a 12 major out of LKC that made the LLWS. For the most part it was the exact same team that we played against in tournament ball. They played LL during week and tournament ball on weekend.

Yes that’s a jacked up situation with odd number of teams allowed in

It does have some scary reviews. As I’m sure you saw it’s made for termite treatment. We use it exclusively to spray exterior of camp. Wasp, dirt dobbers, etc. all gone
