  1. If players do start organizing, at that point I would be cool with just tapping out and going to nonscholarship athletics like the Ivy League. Just have actual students who get it on their own academic merit play.

  2. Unionization. Collective bargaining. Strikes. Yeah, that'll help college football. That's just what we need. Fuckin' government. Jesus H. Christ.

  3. Dude calls me yesterday wanting to sue his employer for requiring he be vaccinated. I told him that an employer can make rules to protect its employees and workplace. He offered up some false equivalencies (So - he can require me to have sex with him?) and went on about his “rights and Freedoms”. He had no reason not to be vaxxed other than “it was not tested”. I told him to google “At will doctrine”, and to accept the fact that he does not have a right to continued employment - absent age, sex, race, religion or medical condition discrimination. Being stupid was not a protected class.

  4. Looks like Perkins chose to visit LSU this weekend instead of aggy. Won't be at the Bama' game either.

  5. Wow. Could this mean colleges cannot form agreements on pay for fear of anti-trust laws? Will each team because a collective bargaining unit? I don't want anyone exploited, but the scholarship-student athlete does not seem to be such a thing to me. Are volleyball players or golfers playing under scholarship receiving a benefit due to a student-oriented activity or are they employees? I don't like where all of this is heading. There are reasons I don't follow professional sports. It's purely mercenary no matter how much the fans want to believe there is something special about the uniforms their teams are wearing. Oh well, nobody cares what I think.

  12. The thing is there is no universal time that COVID-infected people retain antibodies and therefore "immune" temporarily or otherwise. I had COVID in March 2020. By December 2020, there no detectable antibodies remaining in my system. There is no telling when they went away. I just felt like having an antibody test done again in December. Was I still immune? Maybe. But reports were starting to crop up about people getting COVID possibly for a second time. Nobody told me Chad Briscoe got ordained. Those of us who are doing the right thing and thinking of society on a grander scale than how if effects just us personally are sick and fucking tired of waiting for some sense of normalcy come back. We'd like to ditch masks. We'd like to travel freely, go to sporting events and concerts, dine at restaurants and not worry about our kids getting COVID from their lab partner at school and bringing it home and getting their grandparents sick. We'd like there to be guaranteed room at the ER's if we happen to have a heart attack or get involved in a serious car accident. The selfish are not allowing us to get back to that as quickly as we could and we are sick and fucking tired of it!

  13. Seriously. Literally nothing changed and a bunch of hand-wringing pussies bleeding from their vaginas coming here to pile onto month old news. Despite the kid this week drooling to get on UT's campus, and a stacked RB room so we can afford to take a risk or two in a home run player. Pull your socks up, bitches.

  17. Yes. Unless you have a genuine and valid health complication or risk with getting the vaccine, you absolutely should take every measure available to safely reduce your vulnerability to COVID and it's variants. People who got the alpha variant, recovered, and then contracted the Delta have died. The vaccine gives better and more broad protection than simple natural immunity, and I'm fucking tired of half measures as our modus operandi for handling COVID.

  18. Some of this stuff might have been mentioned randomly in a thread here or there, but I haven't seen it. I'm just going to throw some CFB things out there with 1/3 of the season behind us that I find interesting in case anyone else has a POV on it or some other things to add. I know this is long for those with short attention spans, but I don't give a shit and they can click out and find a safe space. -Notre Dame is about to play their 2nd of 5 consecutive games in which the opponent has a bye before playing them. That's 5 games of 2 weeks to prepare for ND by the opponent. I don't think I've ever even heard of that. I hate Notre Dame, but damn, that shit is rough. -Notre Dame is undefeated, yet they're a home dog this weekend to a G5 team. Again, I don't know if I've ever heard of that. I know they've had a few seasons in the last 20 in which they flat out sucked, so maybe it's happened then, or whenever that high school coach was coaching them ahead of the Lou Holtz era. -The last time Iowa allowed more than 24 points in a game was November 23rd, 2018 in a win over Nebraska. Iowa has a pedestrian offense and Kirk Ferentz, so they're not a top 10 team to me and I think they will probably lose their next two to prove it, but the defense is elite. -BYU has a better Pac 12 conference record (3-0) this year than anyone in the conference. "That's a bullshit stat since the conference teams haven't played each other 3 times yet." Fair, but there are only 6 conference teams undefeated in conference so far, and 4 of those teams play each other this weekend. BYU still has Wazzou and USC left on their schedule. They have a pretty freaking great chance of going 5-0 in the Pac 12 on the season, which speaks to either their legitimacy as a top 15 program or the futility of the Pac 12, or maybe both. -The Big 10 West is an absolute dumpster fire, with Iowa and Purdue the only 2 teams having no losses in conference yet. Purdue has actually played teams tough this year, losing a close game at Notre Dame in which ND pulled away late, and beating another underrated and decent team, Oregon State. They'll run over Minnesota this weekend at home, then play @Iowa after a bye, then Wiscy, @Nebraska, MSU, @Ohio State. If they go 4-2 and beat Iowa in that stretch, they've got a great shot at winning the west. Brohm has a chance to remind people that he exists. -Tennessee could have had Greg Schiano coaching for them. They've beaten Bowling Green and Tennessee Tech. They still get to play South Carolina, South Alabama and Vanderbilt. If these idiots can sneak a win in against Missouri or Kentucky, they'll go bowling having beaten one P5 team with a winning record. I don't see how they're better than 6-6. Missouri is pretty fucking terrible as well, especially on defense, so even if Tenn wins that game, they might be 6-6 without beating a P5 team with a winning record. -As to Missouri, they've beaten Central Michigan 34-24 and SE Missouri State 59-28. They gave up 35 and 41 to UK and Boston College respectively. They get Arkansas and ATM from the west. The ATM game will feature one team with an above average offense against an above average defense and the other team with an abysmal offense going against an abysmal defense. Anyone thinking ATM will just roll through them in Columbia before the season has to be rethinking that position. -The SEC East overall is a fucking joke. Florida looked good against Alabama, but they're a Dan Mullen coached team that will find a way to finish unimpressively with a 9-4 record. Todd Grantham is still the DC there. Wow. Missouri and Tennessee would qualify as trash if that word weren't being defined currently by Vanderbilt and South Carolina. Kentucky is 4-0 by playing ULaMonroe, Missouri, Chattanooga, and South Carolina. They beat Chatt in a squeaker, 28-23. They still get to play NMSU, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Mississippi State. They will be the worst 8-4 or 9-3 team in the country. Georgia is the class of the division, obviously. Their October opponents are a combined 14-2 currently, so if they exit the month 8-0, they'll have earned the hype. They'll walk through November playing Missouri, Tenn, Charleston Southern, and Ga Tech. -I don't know who else watched the USC/Oregon State game, but it was a gratifying blowout that was uglier than the score reflected. Oregon State won in the Coliseum for the first time in 61 years. -Florida State is 0-4 and favored at home by 4.5 points against a 3-1 Syracuse team that just beat a pesky Liberty team. I assume Vegas knows something I don't. FSU has UMass on the schedule in a few weeks. There's a legitimate shot that they finish 1-11 if you take a look at the schedule. I mean, it's ugly. -Oklahoma is giving up 10.5 points to KSU in Manhattan this weekend. In 3 home games so far against FBS opponents, OU hasn't beaten a team by more than 7 points. I don't think Vegas knows a thing here. I just think everyone is expecting OU to be better than they've looked so far. I don't expect to see that this week. They usually wait until the Texas game to get their shit together. -Oregon visits Palo Alto this weekend. Stanford blows, but Mario Cristobal is west coast Tom Herman. He'll fuck up a game this year somewhere, so I wouldn't be shocked if it's this one. -Nebraska is 2-3 and still plays Northwestern this weekend and @Minnesota in a few weekends. They also get Michigan, Purdue, Ohio State and Iowa at home, and Wisconsin on the road. It's not difficult to see them finishing 4-8 in Frost's 4th year on campus. -Finally, ULaLa plays an undefeated South Alabama team this weekend. As far as things go for Texas' bowl outlook and national POV at the end of this season, provided Texas is sitting on something like 9-3 or better, it would be great if ULaLa was 11-1. This is actually a key game for them getting there. Sorry for the tl;dr aspects of this, but figured some folks might give a shit in discussing it.

  20. Based on my experience with cyclists in Austin obeying precisely 0.0% of traffic laws, I still hate cyclists. I also believe that kid should have been taken from the scene in cuffs and charged. Both things can be true.

  21. New decade. Last conference game against frogs. Sark understanding our past record. Texas is going to win this game while flipping the bird as we walk away. 🖕🏼 Haiku: Sark is focused. Is it rain or sweat, Gary? It don’t make a shit. 🤘🏼

  22. Anybody 'rolling coal' should be beaten senseless and their truck crushed into a cube just on principle. Add in jail time for him and bankruptcy for him and his family for the injuries. edit: and yeah, I don't care if he's just a 'dumb teen'. Old enough to drive a truck like that, old enough to take responsibility for being a douche bag and for seriously injuring a bunch of people.

  25. Some of y'all are really disrespecting Casey's arm. He has a good arm I've gone back and charted every deep throw he's made this year (stats are ugly: 1/10, 23 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT, 1 PI drawn). The issue isn't that his arm is weak or that he's incapable. He just needs to work on consistently using the correct amount of touch. Sometimes he puts too much air on his long balls. I think it's an overcorrection because as a freshman he came in only throwing darts. He'll figure it out. Plus he's had some back luck with an egregious missed PI and Marcus Washington tripping on an easy TD. I would have graded 6 of his 11 attempts as good throws and 2 others were just a bit off but correctable. That's not a bad rate.
