1970 Bertone Lancia Stratos HF Zero on a... Home Depot rental trailer? (ht @TheMightyLo) #DavesCarIDService

I can't believe that put that car on a $70/day rental trailer from Home Depot, when he could have saved $20 at TSC or a tow dolly from U-Haul
After a bit of digging I've discovered there are a few replicas floating around, but the original (which I've seen up close) sold in 2011 for ~$1 million. Even a replica is serious money.

I think this calls for a little Raquel Welch space girl dance in Mexico

Not sure non-Confederacy states are a good brand fit for the SEC

First African-American football player at Alabama: 1971

First African-American football player at Michigan: 1890

In a shock to absolutely no one, this whole thing is being brokered by ESPN

Yes kids, back in the day you didn't go to the food truck, the food truck came to you - and nobody did it with more panache than Helms in LA. Their 1930s delivery fleet was specially made by Twin Coach of Kent OH. Helms is no more, but their old trucks remain a visual treat. Image

Let's kickoff today's ID parade with this jaw dropping one-that-got-away: The jalopy with the missing tires here is indeed a 1906 Ford Model K, made Ford's pre-moving assembly line Piquette Ave plant in Detroit. And your family should lament its sale.

Sure- the #marblegame goes like this:

1. Every Power 5 team (+ND & BYU) starts with 200 marbles, all other FBS teams start with 100

2. Win at home, take 20% of your opponent's marbles, Win on road, take 25%

Nate Miller (@NateEMiller) coded the algorithm, here's the last time it was run in 2019. Running it last year was a waste of time because basically there were no inter-conference games.
thenemindex.blogspot.com/2019/12/iowaha…
I think one reasonable update to the algorithm is basing starting # of marbles on a team's schedule: 200 for each P5 opponent, 100 for each non-P5 FBS opponent, etc.

Rewards non-P5 teams with tough schedules, and penalizes P5 teams who schedule patsies.

Can also confirm that 90% of the people running around half-naked have absolutely no business doing so
Never before have so many wore so little to cover so much

I'm not an expert on the behavior of sports fans, but I wonder if UT petitioning authorities to punish meanies who mock their hand gesture will have the desired effect
I don't have a dog in this fight, but I'm afraid that outside Toronto, Toledo OH, and Tennessee, "UT" refers to the University of Texas at Austin
