  1. Dantonio seems pretty soft spoken, maybe he is worried about OSU more than anyone really knows. Maybe that guarantee was more him trying to wake his team up than waking up Ohio State. Although, I sure hope that backfires on him and OSU comes out on fire. If they play conservative football like Herman is known to do, I too will be calling for his job. I was calling for it after the Michigan State game last year, the dude has done nothing to impress me since being at Ohio State. Urban even made mention during halftime at PSU that the team needed to open things up, yet they didn't haha. Maybe Urban will have to step up and be the head coach for once and just take over the offense. I am optimistic about tomorrow, but wouldn't be surprised of OSU left with a loss. This was honestly the only game of the season that made me nervous (I thought they'd pound Va Tech).
  2. The powder coater called me today and told me that both wagons would be done today. Since I live 2 minutes away, I ran down and grabbed the one that was ready to be picked up and will hopefully get the hothweels wagon back today. With that said here is the wagon I have dubbed, "Double Trouble" http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/9749_10152858430186907_4098967527913342038_n_zps541a2e68.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10518830_10152858430161907_4320676989658378367_n_zpsfd2ba1b6.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/64746_10152858430116907_3230790046135133669_n_zps8aecded9.jpg
  3. Heading to Athens tonight with a buddy of mine to watch Joey Burrows play
  4. OSU may be landing a 5* DB out of Georgia tomorrow in Rashad Roundtree, we'll know around 9am. It's down to UGA, OSU and Duke.
  5. Wasn't OSU an underdog against Clemson by 3 points last year?
  6. Everytime I hear that song I instantly think of Forest Gump
  7. Tonight I started to mock up the side pipes for the Hotwheels wagon, tomorrow I am going to a buddies exhaust shop and having him mandrel bend me some pipe to my measurements. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10420405_10152855455636907_1647513068937955707_n_zpsdecb47e8.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10649816_10152855455541907_3185919544121799832_n_zps3a20c55d.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10686892_10152855455601907_8756301940773975034_n_zps408ad861.jpg
  8. On the next build or builds I should say! My sister in laws Mother asked me to build a wagon for her 2 year old Grandson. She said he was really into Hotwheels and wondered if I could build him one that is Hotwheels themed. She doesn't want to go too extreme by changing the wheels or lowering it to make it look like a racecar, just wants it to be a nice wagon. I got the wagon torn down and out for powder coating, which btw I am thinking about buying the stuff to start doing this at home to cut down the price as it's the most expensive part of this process. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/LightningMcQueen_zpse2220190.jpg My brother in law had an old motorcycle exhaust setup laying around the garage and offered it to me for free. I cut it down to make side exit exhaust out of, it's a hotwheels wagon, it has to have sidepipes right? I am going to pie cut and attempt to clean up the chrome, it's pretty rough though, so it might end up getting powder coated as well. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/1450205_10152854738221907_3896910731967454945_n_zps459f42a0.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10612763_10152854738256907_2750510573208477675_n_zps0d2d39e7.jpg The other wagon I am doing right now is for my sister in laws 2 little girls, I am calling this wagon Double Trouble. I picked this particular wagon up off my 80 year old neighbor lady for a bargain of $20. She wasn't quite sure how old it was, but researching the logo and style of tub leads me to believe late 50's, early 60's. This thing is a tank, easily the heaviest wagon I have had, including the radio rancher. Since it's a 50's/60's model, I talked her into going with a 50's style teal and white theme, you know like the old 57 chevys and such had. The tub is going the teal color as are the wheels which will be the bigger, off road style. The suspension and stickers will be white to help break up the color. Having a large family has come in handy when it comes to building these things. I built one and suddenly everyone started producing kids and wanting their own wagon haha. http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10387306_10152853317036907_7471618817184676646_n_zpsde3a2724.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/Wagon%20Builds/10801915_10152853316866907_4050770745325510011_n1_zpsec574969.jpg
  9. The making money really isn't a huge concern to me, it's really when people complain about the cost of building these that it gets to me. I have ideas for days as far as these wagons are concerned, the limiting factor is just money. I do enjoy doing these as it's a fun hobby, allows me to be creative, gives these old wagons a second life and hopefully makes a kid happy. Now, I wouldn't mind making more than $5 doing them, but it is what it is right now. The rancher has close to $350 in it, but my brother in law understood how much everything cost and was down to spend the money. I have 3 more wagon builds lined up which makes me excited, one of them is actually a military themed one that is going to NY. A guy on one of the Honda forums I cruise saw the wagons and had to have one for his fiance who is in basic training right now. The other 2 I am getting ready to start posting pictures of are a basic one and then a hotwheels themed one. My wife got a new camera and has been dying to play around with it, so we loaded the rancher up and went to snap some better photos than that of it in my garage with a cell phone. Here ya go http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/1461102_10152853477616907_8563158222362753374_n_zps3ee57b23.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/10438141_10152853477536907_874300103647961065_n_zps93913086.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/10689980_10152853477721907_3738002473160189968_n_zps0fefffc7.jpg http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy218/guy_from_nerk/10402458_10152853477476907_7136487832247472874_n_zps26072826.jpg
  10. Neutral field doesn't count as a home game, they are talking legit home games played in Norman. I just don't find beating LSU to be more impressive than Utah as I don't feel this years LSU team is anything overly exciting. In years past, yes I would easily agree that beating LSU would be a much better feat. However, this is not past LSU teams but I sure hope they pull off the upset on Saturday.
  11. Not many but when he did they were big: 01 Wisconsin, 01 #12 Illinois 05 #2 Texas 07 Illinois 08 #3 Penn State 09 #3 USC So 6 home losses under Tress You start looking at Stoops record and you will be mind blown, that guy wins a lot. Les has a crazy record of 0 regular season losses to out of conference opponents. Granted LSU plays absolutely nobody out of conference, but still a cool stat.
  12. Sorry they have lost 6 homes games under Stoops including this years loss to KSU. Not bad for a 16 year span haha
  13. Oklahoma has lost 2 times (maybe 3 including KSU this year) I believe at home since 1999 lol. It looks like LSU has lost 7 under Miles at home (05-current) 2005: 5-1-0 2006: 8-0-0 2007: 6-1-0 2008: 5-3-0 2009: 6-1-0 2010: 7-0-0 2011: 6-0-0 2012: 7-1-0 2013: 7-0-0 Sorry my scatter brain has me off topic again. I read beating LSU at home being impressive and thought about Oklahomas impressive home record. Carry on
  14. I know some of you don't have facebook but plan on coming so I will share all the updates on here as well. We are going to have several companies on hand, selling food and raffling off various things with proceeds going to the toy drive for us to buy even more toys. I am going to list the details for each of those. Modified Studios Tattoos and Piercings in Lancaster is offering up some pretty awesome gift cards. They will be raffling off 4 gift cards worth $50 each towards tattoos and 15 gift cards for simple piercings!!! Tickets will be $1 each, the more you buy the better chance you have of winning!!! Modified will have a table setup where tickets will be available for purchase. Paragon Vinyl will be on hand the day of the event selling the official toy drive stickers as well as their own designs. They will also be doing a raffle, with the winner getting a custom windshield banner of your choosing. For each sticker you purchase, you will be given 1 raffle ticket. The more stickers you purchase, the more tickets you will be give. The price for toy drive stickers are $3 with proceeds going to buying more toys. Elite Vapor out of Heath has jumped on board this years event. We have finally worked out the details Elite will be doing a raffle for a mechanical mod and an mvp vape. Tickets will be $1 with proceeds going to buying more toys. A big thank you to both Alex and Sean at Elite Vaport. They will have a stand set up where you can get tickets https://www.facebook.com/EliteVaporOh Poppy's Roadside Diner will be on hand dishing out hot food and drinks. Make sure you come hungry, as proceeds from food/drinks purchased will go towards buying toys. I will update if more things occur.
  15. I think beating Oklahoma at home would be far more impressive than beating LSU at home, but I get what you're saying. As I said earlier, if Bama wins out it's hard to argue against them as they will be the SEC champion. I just have a huge problem with 2 SEC teams getting into the playoffs
  16. This whole argument is null and void after LSU beats Bama saturday night haha.
  17. It probably was, also the same year Utah who was 12-0 with a couple wins over top 25 schools was left out of the conversation... So Utah loses to Oregon and has 3 losses, Bama beats LSU to give them 3 losses as well...again how is that more impressive? Because SEC? Because ESPN says so? Ole Miss is the only ranked team that LSU has beat with a pulse. Beating a bad Wisconsin team isn't "quality"...You have a really bad argument on your hands sir. You should probably remove the SEC homer glasses and see things from a better perspective.
  18. BTW, didn't "fucking Utah" beat Alabama in 08? LOLOL, I would hate them too
  19. How do you justify that beating LSU this year is somehow better than beating Utah? To me it's identical and not one better than the other. LSU has 2 losses and should honestly have 3 had Wisconsin not totally shit the bed in the 4th quarter of that game. They also only have 1 "quality" win on their resume beating a now 2 loss Ole Miss. Utah also has 2 losses, one coming in OT to Arizona State, "quality". They also have a quality win against UCLA.
  20. I just read this and found it interesting as well. The B10 is horrible haha "After reading the Skull session today, I was a bit depressed by what Rob Oller tweeted out about how our last home win vs a top ten team was TTUN in 06. And last road win was in 1990(!!!!!) VS IOWA. " Talking about OSU playing top 10 conference opponents.
  21. ESPN is pushing so hard for 2 SEC teams lol. I saw something last night flipping through the channels where one of the analyst was saying Bama beating a #16 LSU would be more impressive than Oregon beating #17 Utah
  22. 3* DB Joshua Norwood out of Georgia committed tonight. He was once part of the Cincy class but decommitted, had offers from Illinois and Duke. This to me is really strange as it's the first time I have heard his name and to me came out of nowhere. With 20 commits now, you have to think the staff knows some kids who are still on the board aren't coming here or there's a lot of attrition coming this off season. FWIW, this makes 5 DB's in this class. I wonder if one of the currently committed is going to end up elsewhere.
  23. 14 in this week's rankings, right around d where they are in the polls. Against the rankings and polls look a lot alike. Joey Galoway seems to thinks if Osu win Saturday then the b10 doesn't make the playoffs. He may be right about that, considering 2 loss Ole Miss is at #11 haha
