    Poll: Postseason Fan Choice Poll on Tidefans!

    I vote for going to the playoffs. If the team and coaches get their heads on straight, we could make a good run at the final. On a side note: what are the $ difference between a bowl game vs being in the playoffs?

    Headed out Sunday to help with clean up over in SC. Never know what we'll run into but will be there all week to do what we can. Going in as a chainsaw and tarp crew.

    Looking for some gearhead advice - 2015 Accord

    Ridgeline is unibody, can not remove the bed. But I agree, they could have engineered it right outside the tank with a pickup inside.

    Looking for some gearhead advice - 2015 Accord

    I have a 2019 Ridgeline, it started stuttering and the engine light started blinking. Ended up having fuel pump/filter replaced under warranty. Those are in the gas tank, so they will have to drop the tank to change it out. These new vehicles are just about impossible for back yard mechanics...

    Personal Finance: Financial Planning & Investing

    Good advice @4Q Basket Case. My wife and I paid off the house appx 10 years early by setting a budget and adding all we could to the mortgage payment. When she retired, we put her social security check towards the mortgage. This and having a year's worth of savings really paid off big time.

    New DIY thread...

    Here's the ramp built by 6 of us guys for a friend coming home from the hospital. He will be in a wheelchair for a while. Luckily one of the guys helping was pretty good with CAD and got the layout and cut sheet together.

    Game Thread: Early bowl games no one cares about but will watch anyway catchall

    Something I thought towards the end of the game last night; change out MI unis to crimson and white, it would appear to be some of the old BAMA teams playing. Hard-nosed D with very few breakdowns and an offense not making mistakes and biding it's time waiting for the big play.

    Kevin Steele Retiring

    My understanding is if Pruitt is hired as an analyst, he would still have the 1 year probation when being moved into a coaching position. So CNS couldn't hire him as an analyst to offset the probation. Is this correct?

    Game Thread: Early bowl games no one cares about but will watch anyway catchall

    Penix is off tonight (somewhat due to the Michigan D), I don't think he has hit anyone in stride.
