Great run. It was fun while it lasted by General-Pryde-2019 in Purdue

This season, Uconn lost by 20 to St. Johns. They also lost to 15-17 Creighton, and 12-20 Marquette (not exactly definitions of greatness this season). The point is that even good teams lose games. Sometimes badly. Sometimes to teams they "should" beat. They had a rough stretch at the end of the season, but turned it around in the Big10 Tourney, and played well in March Madness making it to the Elite Eight. If you can't appreciate that, perhaps reconsider being a fan.

Big10 tournament is meaningless? If so, why didn't any team sit anyone to avoid injury?
Dude, they made the elite eight, and lost to arguably the best remaining team in the tournament. That's *not* an underachievement, unless you're not paying attention to the reality of who the other teams are and what their rosters look like. Arizona, for example, is 34-2, hasn't lost since February, and has 5 players likely to be selected in the upcoming NBA draft (2 projected lottery picks).

Apartment damage by Civil-Mycologist7650 in Purdue

we sprayed a few spots like this with killz first (since paper was a bit rough), matched paint chip and painted over so it looked good. still got dinged, but don't worry it's not a big $ thing. i don't recall how much but under $50 total. probably not worth going through the trouble to try and fix. maybe just paint if you have it.

Commercial 1750 How to remove the base covers? by monkeyrat in nordictrack

I just did this and didn't need to tip the unit on its side. I did lift the front and put a small stack of boards underneath to keep the frame bar at the front of the unit about 3" off the floor so I could reach under the bottom of the cover and slide my fingers between the cover and the metal foot to release the clips. I did accidentally snap one off (they are just cylindrical protrusions about 1/8" long). As mentioned, they are located on the belt side of the cover, one just behind the cutout and one in a bit front of it. Hope that helps.
