    Indy Star claims concussion protocol. In person experience against UND and Nebraska would indicate anything else is worth a try. The OL is garbage and OC Graham Harrell does not seem to call the game to his team’s strengths.

    Please. How bad does he have to suck for him to be QB3 behind these stinkers?

    Wisner is a 1-cut and go guy. He’s 6-7 yards downfield before he takes his 2nd. Blue dances a little more…. In my semi-drunk opinion.

    Good.

    Quick update. A leak was found and fixed. 1" PVC heading into house did indeed have a hole. After fixing that piece of PVC, water was turned back on and... ~3 GPH of running water. Yippee. A leak of some sort persists. I suspect the leak detection process found a weak area and accelerated its failure, which is fine. However, a leak - somewhere - remains. Leak detectors coming back again on Tues for yet another test. Silver lining is that I have not seen a problem inside the house and - so far - the costs have not bankrupted me.

    Not sure. Today was "find the leak." Tomorrow is "fix the leak" and I will ask for details. Around the time the house was built (10 years before I bought it), the main line into the house was modified to support a water softener. The leak detection guy theorized that settling, shifts, etc. could have weakened a copper pipe joint. I will find out tomorrow

    American Leak Detectors for the win. Turns out it is a leak just outside the house, which explains why there is no internal sign. I guess I *could* have found it myself (I had guessed "close") and dug and fixed it, but that would have required TONS of labor and getting lucky on my guesswork. The key is knowing exactly where it is of course...

    Agree it is a water leak. I suspect it is a water leak into the foundation. I need to adjust the title

    A different Charlie Rose interview than what was posted a bit upstream. NSIAP, as I looked

    Thank you, @EE2B ... I will call American Leak Detectors. They have been recommended by several plumbers and sites.

    I will try this. I checked all toilets by cutting off the water at the wall, however I could have a faulty valve.

    Pittsburgh OC is dumber than Zimmer

    Steeler offensive idiocy is the perfect match for Dallas defensive incompetence

    @Gil Bang - checked that a couple of hours ago. Looks like water flow continued after I shut off the hot water before the heater. Sigh. Thanks!

    The new CoA Utilities digital/wifi meters have been useful - they found that I am constantly consuming around 4 gallons per hour of water. I have 3 shutoffs: (1) main at street (2) irrigation system and (3) home interior inside my garage. Shutting (2) had no effect. Shutting (3) - and having now water in house - stopped the meter. Tried turning on/off every fixture in house to no avail. There are no signs of water anywhere in the house. Nothing bubbling up under ground level floors. Nothing coming through walls. Nothing coming through ceilings. I manually refill my pool, so that is not the culprit. My conclusion is that I have a foundation leak and that the water is being "consumed" under the house. Questions: 1 - any recommendations on who I should call? 2 - am I forgetting to check anything? 3 - what would you do?

    Looks like Vandy hired the correct Tim Beck as OC.

    I know it was already posted. Not sorry. Just a sublime interpretation of a timeless song by 4 greats. RIP KK.

    I sure hope they are paying Sam Elliott transcendent money to be on set with Gronkowski. Those commercials are brutal.

    TCU looks shitty. Good.

    Winner gets a Kia. 2nd place gets 2 Kias.

    Purdue's pass blocking has been pretty horrible, no doubt. That said, neither Card nor OC Graham Harrell have done much to help. Card holds the ball too long. Plays take too long to develop. Card tries to spin out of a collapsing pocket and (most of the time) gets sacked. I am not sure how the PFF pass blocking grades are calculated, but I suspect they look a little better if the QB gets rid of the ball in 1-2 seconds. If they QB gets the ball out that quick, there really is limited possible breakdown in OL pass blocking. You are fortunate that you only had to look at the stats after the fact. I got to see them in the making for both UND and Nebraka @ Purdue. The weather was great, though!
