What if I prefer bisque over soup?

Looks like we are in good shape for #1 seed in the west. Heard some discussion locally about BYU might be the toughest opponent in that bracket.

Could this be the year for a championship???

I'd like to say yes, and I'm not trying to be a downer, but our lack of offense in stretches is likely to hold us back.

it shows up in really bad times in tournaments.

UT is a dangerous tournament team if they can score between 70-80 points because of their defense. They have held some good offensive teams in check this year. Barnes has to avoid the 50-60 point performances.

the long stretches where we can't score at all drive me nuts. we will be in control. take one guy off the court, and suddenly we won't score at all for 4-5 minutes. and they climb back in to make it a game.

it's the Barnes way - I'll still take it but it's frustrating.

this truly is the golden age of Vol sports (at least in my life time)

I love our success. That being said, and I know many disagree, I'd choose zero wins in every sport next year if it meant we won a natty in football

Get in line, it's a long one.

An F-250 with 84k miles is just getting broke in. The leather is in fantastic shape. The only ratty piece was the steering wheel so I put a new steering wheel on it and I’m gonna drive it another 84k miles.

Deisel?

 

[NorthDallas40]

Deisel?

Actually no. 6.2L gasser. When I went looking I was going to buy an F150 with the 6’ bed and 6.2L in King Ranch. I was going to have to special order that engine combo. They had my truck in King Ranch and even the right color they had taken in a dealer trade and wanted to get rid of it. So I bought it. A diesel truly would run forever but as little as I drive now the gasser works. Same transmission and drive line as the diesel just different final gearing, 3.73 vs 3.31.

I'm liking the 7.3 gasser in mine.

I had a 2015 F150. (1st of the aluminum bodies) It had all the bells and whistles. It was a lariat. It had the 5.0 and the heavy duty towing package. I loved that truck. I tow a bunch of stuff so I bought a used 2018 F250 with the deisel. It's just an XLT and not nearly as optioned but it's a beast when it comes to towing. Slightly better fuel economy too. Offset by the cost of fuel though.

What kind of fuel mileage you get?

 

[InVOLuntary]

@McDad we have an offer on the apartments but we are going to turn it down. He's offering over asking but wants a low down payment and low monthly payments with a balloon at 84 months. It's too risky in my opinion.

 

[hog88]

Passes everything on the road except a gas station.

Around 15, haven't done much towing yet and nothing over 15-20 miles so I don't know exactly how that's going to hurt it. I'll get some data on that this summer.

 

[NorthDallas40]

I get 12 around town and 16 on the highway in the 6.2 not towing.

15 isn't bad. I got 15 with my 5.0. I get about 18 with my deisel.

Congratulations. I never followed up with you and I should have. No excuses. My son isn't going to UT, now. I am not a buyer living over 3 hours away.

So the buyer wants you to finance for a few years and you're willing to do it but you need better terms?
