What would you do that for, it's the ultimate cheat code for LA traffic?

Well, after the 75 mph highside and not having the money to fix it at that young age, I had to sell... Then had kids and never got another one.

Not sure I'd want one now, with all the cell-phone distracted drivers out there...

I want another one, of course, but the first thing I'd do is take off everything that makes it street legal and make it a track day bike.

If it's bumper to bumper, then your only risk is someone opening their door, no?

OSU has their hands full with Northwestern.

Surprised by the Purdue beatdown. Didn't see that coming.

Surprised by the Purdue beatdown. Didn't see that coming.

I've been avoiding this thread as I was watching time-delayed, but Purdue's down 25 with <4m to go on my TV, so I figured all the activity in this thread meant they lost... 

Honestly, I hate like hell to see my team lose. But I think ultimately this might be good for them. I don't think this beatdown was due to a lack of talent or suggests this team isn't as good as billed. I feel (and some things I've seen over the last several games) that they've had so many things going their way that they just assume that things will always go their way. 

Sometimes getting punched in the mouth is the wake-up call you need. Reminds you that you have to bring it 100%, every game, every minute. Because when you're a team this good, your opponent ALWAYS will. All it takes to get an L is to let up... Never let up. 

Pretty sure Painter is going to keep this game on tap as a teachable moment all season long.

Seeing Wisconsin pound Market soothes always my soul.

I wonder how much longer they will keep Shaka Smart. I hear the natives are getting a little down on him.

This Marquette team looks bad. Just not good.

I still don’t feel great about this badgers team, but it is funny that has basically settled into your standard man rotation that feels pretty decent about the starters and a couple of reserve wings.

Looks like not a good day for Ohio State football but this win by the basketball team in Evanston was huge.

Duke wins ACC in football, IU wins BIG in football (before they win a single B1G hoops tournament btw)...surely this is the year Nebraska wins a tournament game, no?

[FearlessF]

So what is being a basketball school like?  What do I need to do differently?
