  1. childish response by a commissioner in way over his head
  2. oh man I'm sure the conferences that are playing never considered that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sleep well indeed!!!!! man he showed them!
  3. IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN it looks like it's happening WAKE UP IT WON'T HAPPEN this whole thing is endlessly entertaining
  4. this would be a good time for people to reconsider their allegiances I don't think you can understate the importance of doing what is right. If your school insists on playing football this fall in the face of what you consider to be unreasonable risk of illness, long-term damage, and DEATH!!!!!!, your school is clearly violating your moral code and doesn't deserve your support.
  5. leaving aside the question of whether we should or shouldn't, if we DO play while Ohio State is sitting on its ass, maybe that will stop the outflow of Texas HS players to that program in particular
  6. The Big Ten is effectively giving all fourteen of its programs the death penalty if the SEC et al manage to play this season.
  7. I don't think it's as simple as "ten million people watched (a given game) on a Saturday in October last year, so if we move it to February, we'll have ten million viewers". No one knows how the fans are going to react to this.
  8. how they gonna play in the spring when Ohio State plays its fall schedule in the Big 12?
  9. if you want to put Wulaw in timeout, this thread serves no purpose.
  10. Sum Ting Wong, Ho Lee Fuk, We Tu Lo, you know those guys
  11. It has to be ironic that Aggies almost certainly think of themselves as the Ants in the "The Ant and the Grasshopper" parable, and yet they're grasshoppers all the way eatin' that seed corn
  12. I don't think they could do either of those things even if they wanted to.
  13. is "some of you" all the ones who disagree with you?
  14. That wasn't how it was portrayed at the time by the media, which was the point of the analogy. Not the medical aspects of disease transmission, etc. We just have a tendency to sensationalize worst-case scenarios. I don't think we're going to end up with thousands or even hundreds or even dozens of college football players who develop myocarditis just because it's possible to do so if you contract COVID. That's my personal opinion, it's not backed by science and it's neither a recommendation to players or an exhortation to "git out there and play!".
  15. The good medical experts think the way I think they should think! The bad ones think something different.
  16. you can absolutely develop myocarditis from COVID, the same way heterosexuals absolutely could get AIDS when Magic Johnson got it. Magic Johnson, however, did not end up being the first of the predicted epidemic of heterosexual AIDS cases. So this sudden fear that all or many or even a statistically meaningful number of athletes will or are likely to be diagnosed with COVID-induced myocarditis.... I'm skeptical. I'm not saying anyone should play because I'm skeptical.
  17. not saying anyone should play based on my skepticism, but I'll bet myocarditis is to COVID-19 what Magic Johnson was to the "heterosexual AIDS epidemic" of the 90s
  18. there's really no rebuttal to there's an infectious disease and we don't know what the long-term complications are, even for those who are asymptomatic! obviously the only correct answer is, stop doing everything until the disease is cured.
  19. fuck external USB hard drives, unless they're SSD How many times would you expect one of these drives to fail on you? I've buried three of them in the last ten years and a fourth is nothing but a redundant backup after it seemed to catastrophically die a few months back (click of death, but it's back online now) now I just collect 1 TB SSD drives and stripe them together
  20. sites that don't or won't work properly when you're behind a VPN
