Ah yes, the Big Ten.  The times that I like out of there won, Illinois, Ohio State (even though they are going to wipe up the floor with us), and Penn State, the teams I hate lost, can't stand Michigan or Michigan State.  Would have loved to see Northern IL pull it out, but that #### Wisconsin team got them at the very end.

Man, if that wasn't an a$$ kicking I don't know what is.  I would have never figured Nebraska to get beat that badly.  Heck, I figured it would be the other way around.  And what about the Colorado/USC game.  Yet another Big 12 team receiving a stomping.   :(

 

I went and watched KSU play yesterday afternoon.  The conditions were great up until halftime, but after that it looked a lot like the Clemson game.  Rained so hard that it actually flooded the parking lot.  And of course no rain was predicted, so me and my buddy sat out in the rain without any rain gear.  It got dang cold, but it was fun anyways.  Hopefully it doesn't rain when I go watch them play USC next weekend.....

Hey Tom, our Mountaineers won a close one too.  :D

Cincy kicked a field goal as time ran out to put in into overtime and it hit the upright.  WVU won by 3.

 

That SC/GA game was awesome, I was hoping SC would pull it out.

 

And the Notre Dame game was great.  Iwould love to see them go undefeated with their new coach, but I figure they'll lose one to Florida State, unfortunately.

 

As for Penn State.  Dnag they kicked butt.  That 2nd string QB who played receiver and tailback for most of the game was awesome.  Forget QB, play RB and stay there!!!

Yeah, I followed the WV game on a site on the internet.  If we could just win some big games.  I think Rich will have "his" team doing pretty decent with some time.  He's only got one year of recruiting kids and still has some of Nehlen's recruits.

 

I was hopong Carolina would win too.

 

Screw Notre Dame, I could care less if they ever win another game.  :D

Tom, agree with you 100% about Notre Dame!!  I watched U of M give that one away - not to slight their players and coach though, but U of M just didn't want to win it!!

 

I'm always happy when WVU wins - I didn't catch this game, or the U of Wisc. game, but Rich must have gotten things straightened around @ half-time as they made it a game against WI in the 2nd half.

 

Being a Penn St. opponent for so long, it always irks me to see them win, but you gotta hand it to Joe Paterno - he can still make things happen!

 

Go Mountaineers!!!

We have problems here at Nebraska. It was humiliating leaving Beaver stadium last night. Flew to Baltimore Friday afternoon, drove to Harrisburg Friday night, on to State College Saturday morning feeling pretty confident. Spent the day tailgating and downtown in the bars. Walked back up to the stadium, caught the end of the Notre Dame game on TV, saw the Penn State team leaving the blue buses (personally I like our tunnel walk better), got my seat up in Section NL and it was all down hill from there.

 

I got to be honest with you, I had to think twice about putting Husker red on this morning for the flight back. The loss in and of itself is not as bad as the trend of developing losses. Penn State played a great game, we were out coached and manned. Craig Bohl isn't doing himself any favors.

 

One of the sportswriters in the Harrisburg paper this morning had an interesting observation about Penn State having finally changed their offensive strategy (not to Joe's liking initially) two years ago. He mentions that Nebraska's one dimensional strategy just doesn't work without superior atheletes. I just hope we aren't headed in the same direction OU went for about ten years.

 

Anyway - YOU ARE PENN STATE! Good luck with the rest of your season.

I watched the Wisconsin game.  They were GIVEN a TD on 3rd and long that was CLEARLY out of bounds, had it been in the NFL it would have easily been overturned and they would've only got a feild goal.  Shortly after they were given another TD when the guys knees hit the ground before the ball crossed the goal line.  You never know maybe they would've scored the TD anyway after that one, but you could tell the team just kinda gave up after that one was given to them.  AND WVU got called for roughing the passer everytime they even brushed the QB.  I saw the FLA/MIA game later that night and both QB's got drilled much harder over and over as they released the ball and it never got called.  I honestly think the Defense just gave up halfway throug the 1st quarter and the whole second quarter b/c they were getting screwed.  We held them scoreless in the 2nd hald, and were about to score again when the clock ran out.  Had it not been for all the bad calls we may have won that one.

Geez, Elwood that sucks!!  Makes you wonder if maybe they were Big 10 officials? Thanks for that info - I didn't read anything but how UW won and who scored - no mention of the evident poor calls and the fact that UW scored no points in the 2nd half!!

 

Sounds like he's getting their heads screwed on straight, so that's good.  IMO WVU will always have a difficult time recruiting lots of blue chippers, what with all the regional competition for the quality players, so his job will probably always be a time of ups and downs, kinda like Nehlen, I think.

 

(Hope I'm wrong there)

It was Big Ten Officials, and there was neer any mention of the second bad call.  Heck the first one was only mentioned once and that was it.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
