  1. I am concerned my sons will get sick from Covid 19 and i made a stupid decision to expose them to an unnecessary risk to play a game. my nightmare is one of my boys getting it, and for whatever reason, they arent able to just shake it off, they wind up in the hospital, alone, scared, sick, and I cant be there to help them. or what if one of them get it and transmit it to me or my wife? and one of us goes through my nightmare? not only would that suck for one of us, but how would you feel if you were that child? so yeah i think the choice is more complicated than you are making it out to be.
  2. i have a senior and freshman at LT. i still dont know what we are going to do. my gut tells me that its absolutely insane to even consider playing football but its my son's senior year and my other son's first season at LT. ugh...
  3. i think thats fair but it could also mean he is quicker than fast.
  4. i think LJ is a Zeke starter kit. Similar to JK Dobbins too.
  5. so their times are: LJ - 40: 4.42 100M: 11.24 CW - 40: 4.3ish 100M: 10.79 So both are fast. CW is a bit faster, moreso with longspeed. But neither are JC who ran 10.13 at UT.
  6. Does anyone have any testing numbers on Wheaton? I havent seen anything that shows he is actually faster than LJ.
  7. Yes, you do. And almost every other first world country has done so. What you meant to say is you can't completely eradicate or cure a virus but you sure as hell can get it under control with proper precautions, testing, tracing, isolating, PPE, best practices, and treatments. Did H1N1 kill over 160k people in the last 5 months alone? No? oh ok, so completely irrelevant. Ok moving on.
  8. if you are not an essential worker, you should NOT leave your home except to get groceries and necessary supplies. and if you do that, wear a fucking mask. if everyone had been following the preceding advice for the past 5 months, we would have kicked the shit out of this virus and college football would not be in jeopardy.
  9. I dont have all the answers. I know I want football. But I also know that we should not being playing football during a pandemic. It sucks and I hate it. Are there things that we could do to mitigate risks? Of course. To limit liability? of course. But SHOULD we be doing those things for a game? It just doesnt make sense. I know I would not risk my child's long term health over this. And yeah I have a senior at LT this fall and it fucking sucks the decisions we are having to make to keep them safe.
  10. I have two on campus as students this fall. they will be attending all of their classes online. I dont think we should send anyone home. but i dont think they should or would be mingling on campus anyway.
  11. I just dont see how anyone can expect college football to carry on in the middle of fucking worldwide pandemic. its insane. i want my Horns to play more than anyone and i miss football BAD. but its just a game and is not worth risking the health of any player. We have to be adults and put their interests above our own. 2020 sucks.
  12. FUCK YEAH! IM IN!!!!!
  13. does anyone have any of the internal testing numbers from this past offseason? would love to know who posted top 40s, verticals, etc..
  14. well i mean i dont want to put my blinders on because i might miss something that the mainstream media is hiding from everyone for no good reason at all! unless you believe in stupid conspiracy theories that big pharma is lying to all of us about herd immunity (like this Dr is arguing) and the need for a vaccine. hell, we should just re-open everything stat! cause whats the worst that could happen? we all have T-cell immunity at this point, amitrite? i mean this EXPERT DR said so! that will FOR SURE show Pharma and the media! and this Dr is completely unbiased and has no political motivations for stating these "theories."
  15. Im not putting the blinders on about anything. But i will absolutely discount the advice of a Dr who is STILL tweeting about the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine, making claims about the overstep of government intervention with regard to wearing masks, and mixes his medical advice with praise for Mike fucking Pence. No thanks.
  16. That "Dr" is a conservative hack who has a tweet about Mike Pence and hydroxychloroquine pinned. come on man...
  17. I love Harris. I think she will do great.
  18. are we no longer interested in Leyrer?
  19. you are going to cause me to stroke out if you tell me that Ossai is going to play OLB rather than DE. Now if you say OLB like Lawrence Taylor where he just rushes the whole time but does it from a two point stance, i will only have a mild cardiac event. But i am just going to keep telling myself that Ossai is going to rush the passer on every passing down and chase the ball from the edge on every run down.
  20. Agreed. I was just checking to make sure I had not missed something. and its a goddamned DE not a fucking outside LB. I know Orlando's was truly more of a hybrid in the really fucking stupid way he used it but under everyone else it has been a DE who occasionally drops when we zone blitz from a different and TOTALLY unexpected place. anyways, thanks for the follow up.
  21. Maybe I am confused or Yurcich does it different, but I thought the Y was the TE and the H is the slot. Has that changed?
  22. Shots fired, I repeat shots fired. Damn, I've been Satya'd..
  23. Our LT kids will be attending online from home. Our UT kids will be attending some classes online and maybe one or two in person. They are scheduled to move in to their house and apartment in August but not sure if that is going to happen at this point. Our oldest graduated and will be heading to Seattle for work in late July / early August. Fortunately, his team at Amazon is all remote at this point.
  24. Me and the family all voted for MJ. Hoping she pulls it out and gives Cornyn a run for his money.
