So I'm thinking I go down, take her car and clean it up and then finish it off myself with interior surface protection from the Car Guys or at worst, Armor All.... Uh, I would think if you did a search on Cranberry car washes you could accomplish this entire Herculean task yourself for MOM.

Remember at that time the only 2 teams going to bowl games were Pitt and PSU. Paterno wanted all of PSU bowl money for themselves and that’s not how conferences work.

In the early 50’s Pitt started to play a lot of Big Ten schools hoping to get in the conference but the Big Ten took Michigan State instead. Paterno did everything in his power to make sure Pitt never got into the Big Ten and now with Franklin it’s never going to happen. Pitt has a better shot in getting into the Big 12 or the SEC.

The only way that conference would have stayed together would have been 2 factors and one being a tv contract from ESPN. The other would have been extending offers to independent teams at that time to S Carolina, Miami, VT and possibly FSU.
The Big East was really a bb conference and didn’t care about football and that was the big issue especially after Gavitt left.

So, my elderly mother lives in Cranberry Twp. She takes care of herself and still drives. But the place she lives isn't conducive for washing her car and cleaning the interior.

Is there a car wash that does inside and outside? Basically a good exterior wash, clean windows inside and out, vacuum the floors, wash the mats, wipe all surfaces down. She said she wants her car cleaned for Mother's Day. So I'm thinking I go down, take her car and clean it up and then finish it off myself with interior surface protection from the Car Guys or at worst, Armor All. I could take it to be fully detailed, but that usually takes a long time and would require us to leave the vehicle there.

Is there a car wash in the Cranberry area that does what I'm looking for? We have one by me that does this for around $40ish. All the ones I'm finding on Google are just exterior with free vacuums. I guess that could work, but I'm looking for something a little more than that. I could do buy her a detail service, but would probably need one that would come out and get her car and then bring it back. Money isn't the issue, I''d pay for a good and convenient job. But I don't think it needs to be detailed. Despite it being 4 years old, it looks brand new except for some dust on the dash and dirt on the floor. I'd rather buy her a package of washes instead of 1 detail.

Yeah, I was shocked to see he is still in the league.

They wanted William Jackson bad with that pick, and then Cincy swooped in and got him. Not sure if their fate with Jackson would have been significantly better or not, but it couldn't have been worse.

They seemed to avoid being in that spot of absolutely needing to draft a specific position in the first round (as they did with Artie Burns) for a long time. Now, it's almost an annual event.

What killed the Steelers in the 2016 draft was Artie Burns and Sean Davis with the first two picks. If those picks would have been Xavien Howard and Kevin Byard, I think the team wins the Super Bowl in 2017 and contends in 2018. The secondary was such a weakness. I know Howard had some red flags, but Burns was such a reach. Good for him still playing in the NFL.

I have to be honest, the only time I've ever been uncomfortable walking through downtown Pittsburgh was when it was really freaking humid. Got a little swampy and that's about it. I've been to "dangerous" places and Pittsburgh just ain't that.

Who is George Soros, and how much did he donate to Susan Crawford's winning campaign?

George Soros and Elon Musk were both megadonors who funneled millions into the Wisconsin State Supreme Court race.

There are no Catholic basketball-only schools to worry about. The conference would have needed to expand eventually and maybe poach the ACC for teams down the road. My guess the leadership wouldn't have been there long term to keep everybody happy but it could have had a 20–25-year run.

Lots of angles you could look at this from, so I'll just choose a few:

1) I have mentioned this before, but 15 OL taken in the first three rounds from 1992-2012. From 2013-2022, that number is 2, and they were both 3rd round picks. You win football games in the trenches. You're not going to hit on all the picks, but neglect the OL at your own peril.

2) 2010 was a lowkey excellent draft.

3) Some bad luck sprinkled in with Worilds, Spence, Shazier, Tuitt, etc. I think Golson may have also gotten injured. That 2014 draft looks like when the Pirates won 98 games and still had to play in the wildcard round. Sometimes you do things right, but...

4) Seems like a weird amount of relative hits who did not sign a second contract here, but I guess I'd have to see the league average.

5) Ridiculous amount of high draft capital thrown at the defense from 2013 - 2020. That unit took way too long to rebuild, though some of it is tied into #3.

6) Some big-time "ouchie" drafts on this list. I wouldn't know where to begin in picking the worst. 2008 looks like a good start, but there are plenty of contenders.
