  1. On the long run by the Tech RB, Overshown came flying in, never wrapped up and bounced off the RB. He plays out of control at times. He can get to places others can't because of his speed but he's going to have play more disciplined or there will be a lot more of those type of missed tackles from him.
  2. That's funny and accurate...needs to be in a Dilbert cartoon.
  3. Well Concho just built a brand new big ass analog building, so if they really are going to WFH 75%, that new building sitting at about 25% full, seems like a massive waste. My guess is they will go back to much more in office when Covid calms down.
  4. Yeah I know it's 40 for Forty right now, but it's something all the fucking time, it feels like year around. Are they that desperate? Because it sure the hell is annoying.
  5. His uncle played OL for Texas, I think when Mackovic was the HC. Brett is like 6'8", I'm not sure he moves well enough to play at this level. Definitely would be a project.
  6. The RB rotation seemed a bit strange. Roschon started and played early and then didn't get back in until fairly late in the game. I thought he had been injured or dinged up, and they were holding him out. Glad that wasn't the case.
  7. Is this a King? Sister found it in her kitchen.
  8. We are also the most non-compliant, free, heterogeneous country in the world. That is currently quite polarized. Imo, once the shutdown took place in March and April, and most people here got past the initial fear and feeling of unknown, we were never going to shutdown like Europe or SE Asia, and like what happened here early on. If this country wasn’t so spread out with multiple population centers, perhaps that first, fairly comprehensive shutdown, might have been more effective.
  9. Not the way I read it. Like Newdoc said on a 1 to 1 or case by case basis it's mortality rate is less than the flu for 15 -24 yr olds. Once you hit about 200,000 deaths from covid then it starts to exceed the flu for that age group. In other words, the way I understand this, since covid spreads easier and will infect more it will eventually surpass flu in mortality rate for 15 - 24 age group if enough people are infected. Correct me if I am wrong. That's not to say that there aren't plenty of dangers associated with catching it, even if you are in that young age group, which has been discussed. Obviously spreading it to the more vulnerable is at the top of that list, and the unknown, possible long term damage you may incur from infection. I am particularly interested in this information because I have two college age kids that are about to leave home for school.
  10. I think what he signed was for approval for specific infrastructure. Like pipeline right-of-ways, construction of railroad bridges across the border, etc... I assume it requires his approval because of crossing international borders, but not sure.
  11. Yeah I usually don't wade into this type of discussion. What a shitshow this has turned into. I guess because I/we disagree on some points from certain posters I/we are quickly labeled alt right Americans that need to be beaten... Not only that but there is an entire generation of a certain race that are bunch of losers that should hang their heads in shame. Wow! That's some fine work by the resident attorneys! Christ guys, I think we have more in common than you would like to believe. There are positive changes being made, good things happening.
  12. I certainly don't doubt that has happened in some instances. There's enough radicals on all sides to go around. So exactly who the fuck do you think is behind the majority of the violence/riots?
  13. Which is a perfect example of a faulty generalization. Or are you implying most if not all violent protests/riots are being caused by these guys?
  14. Dude looks like Ozzy Osbourne and Willie Nelson's love child.
  15. If you watch the second to last video on the link, which is a press conference with a state trooper, the trooper says that the old guy said something to the stabber in the store about not wearing, and then the clerk at the store refused the stabber service. The old man had left the store and was out front when the stabber came out, likely pissed. According to the trooper the old man said something again to the guy and this time he pulled a knife. So yeah, sounds like he snapped. Really shitty deal, but it sounds like the old guy may have said one thing too much.
  16. Ector County (Odessa) reports confirmed and probable cases. The number on the website linked above (BNO Newsroom) is showing only the confirmed cases. The probable cases are all from rapid testing done at a private site and are all positive, like an additional 200+ cases. The Ector County Health Dept. doesn't consider the rapid test accurate enough to report them as confirmed cases. However, a doctor at one of the hospitals basically came out and said the test were accurate and those probable cases should be listed as confirmed. Odessa gonna Odessa... https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/health/coronavirus/new-details-from-ector-county-officials-on-wednesday-paint-new-picture-of-total-covid-19-case-count/513-1f8ad4b6-7b32-427a-8082-307b63570206
  17. Daily new cases have gone up significantly in the last two to three weeks, where I live, but hospitalizations have not increased much. Certainly not relative to new cases. Most of the new cases are younger people which is the most obvious explanation for the relatively low hospitalizations numbers. But, is it possible that the severity of the virus is lessening?
  18. I think the bigger problem is frac crews. There is a large inventory of DUCs and it's going to take a while, with the amount of crews still intact, to get to them. So doubt it will turn around as fast.
  19. Yeah unless the students/athletes reverse course on this, I think it's a done deal. The waters are already poisoned, not sure you can turn back now.
