  1.  

    Sources: #Michigan has made another run at Jim Harbaugh after he initially rebuffed the school. U-M has made an offer of 6 years, $48M. Wow.

     

    To compare, Sean Payton has a 5 year 38 million dollar deal and is the highest paid NFL coach

     

    Oh and Bo Pelini is going to Youngstown State granted that has been out there a bit now

     

    I saw that and it blew me away. 48 million over 6 years is crazy money for a Division 1 coach. That is a lot more than what Nick Saban is getting at Alabama. Wow!

  2. So I just laid out what I would do if I decided, but here are my predictions if the current scores hold:

    Oregon and Alabama flip-flop in the top two spots.

    TCU drops out of the playoff, but FSU stays at four and faces Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

    In the Sugar Bowl, Alabama faces off against OSU, who jumps up to number three.

    I see that as a likely and fair scenario, and the Big 12 will be ruing the day they lost all those teams and their Championship Game. I think the committee will recognize undisputed conference champs over co-champs.

    100% Agree!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. I went to a Penguins Game in Pittsburgh, they were playing the Hurricanes and I wore my Capitals jersey. They all looked at me like I was crazy, especially when I yelled "O" during the national anthem.

     

    Big Caps fan but is it ever going to be their year?

     

    I will root for any team playing the Penguins

     

    Favorite player of all time............definitely Bob Probert!

  4. Very impressed by the Wiz tonight. The score doesn't even tell the story. Shoulda/woulda/coulda been up a lot more if it wasn't for the turnovers....

    Nenes defense was as good as it gets.Wall and Beal played great.... The bench, most notably Seraphin, outplayed the Cavs by a large margin. The Wiz are the better team right now.

    Cavs just look lost.... Refs were also pretty bad tonight, both ways.

    I love it. Go Wizards!

  5. There's the 6l60E auto the TR6060 manual or the T56manual Or you could go 4l80e , which is a TH400 with an overdrive. You could do a t56 swap for about 2000$ . I would t go 5 speed, not much price difference... And you could have that 1800-2k cruise on the hwy.

    I am hearing good things about that T56, but the six speed trannys are so long and heavy, I think I am leaning 5 speed. I really like the Richmond Super Street but $4,000.00 is big paper. Chevy Performance also has a Tremec version but it is also just as expensive. Plus I would need to add a bellhousing, clutch, pressure plate and bearing, and swap out my flexplate with a flywheel. Since it is not originally a manual shift car, I will need to get a pedal assembly, take out the column shift, change the dash housing (because I will need one for a manual shift without the indicator) and cut a hole in the floor and redo the driveshaft. I think I am really more worried about all the work more than the money, but I think it would make me happy in the end.

  6. I thinking about pulling the Turbo 350 out of my Nova and putting in a 5 or 6 speed manual Tremec tranny. It would make my Nova the way I always wanted it to be, but this conversion is going to be crazy expensive. I have the money but I know that every dime I put into it now is money that I will never get back. Every cool muscle car I looked at in OC last weekend, the first thing I looked for is a clutch pedal. I am so torn on this, my heart says yes but my head is saying "keep your money in the bank." My tranny shifts so good with that B&M kit, I just purchased a new flexplate with the motor swap. I have a nice Hughes converter. I do hate turning 3000 RPM at 60 MPH with my .370 gears, so the overdirve would be nice.

  7. What year is your Nova?   I had a 305  73 chocolate brown with white half vinyl top.  I wish I had money to buy all the cars I wanted after the 73 oil embargo. i would mop up 66 and 67 GTO's, 65 to 67 Vettes, 66 to 69 Mustangs and a few 68 Chevelles. If I had 50 large in those days I could sit nice with 500K or more now.      

    I have a 1971 Nova. It is a Lime Green (SS Clone) with a black vinyl top, Jade interior, with the Magnum 500 style Chevy Rally wheels. Pretty much everything has been replaced with new replica parts. It is set up for racing with adjustable coilovers in the front, frame connectors, Ford nine inch rear with .370 gears and Cal Tracs bars. I just dropped a new Blueprint engines 396 small block Chevy roller cam motor in it dynoed at 494 HP and 521 Torque, 350 Turbo Trans. I wish I could download photos. Mods have sent me instructions, but I am still too computer challenged to figure it out.
