  1. Good stuff. All of the positives for Biden are supposed to headed his direction except Latino vote. Apparently Latino vote is slightly better for Trump in key states so may save him in FL, TX, and less likely AZ. For TX to finally get purple/blue, correcting the longstanding anemic turnout of Latinos in TX needs to be addressed. If Beto's done it, it's probably his most significant political accomplishment.
  2. Agreed. Play four corners. Ready made excuse -- "he tried to infect me last time" Plus this debate is about foreign policy so it will stupidly focus on Hunter's hard drive drivel.
  3. So are you guys still a lock for Terrence Cooks?
  4. Booker's an engaging speaker and has a relatable personal story also. The Democratic party would be smart to elevate him for no other reason than he will be useful for outreach to younger Black men in the future.
  5. As a Sooner fan, I confidently say UT's had the better QB at the Cotton Bowl the last two years. He certainly earned my respect. I'm glad we (likely) won't be seeing him again.
  6. Limits were placed on the mortgage tax deduction. While this doesn't benefit me, it caps one of the many unnecessary advantages provided to people who already have greater financial wealth.
  7. The fact that Bookie gets so much run for OU is a terrible sign for the Sooner DBs. Bookie's physical limitations and immaturity were on full display last Saturday.
  8. Agree, there is no benefit to OU for providing clarity on the situation.
  9. Agree, but this is about 95% of Americans.The extremes aren't my concern. Is the Canadian system a "communist" system in your eyes? (BTW, I'm not one to fetishize the Canadians, but they do serve this counterpoint)
  10. He's a Walter Reed, which is a "boutique hospital," if that's the term for the top military hospital in the country that sits adjacent to the NIH Main Campus. There are multiple DC hospitals that have beds for the president reserved at all times for any reason. The fact that he was able to make it out to Bethesda, rather than to GW, which is blocks away from the WH was a clue that he wasn't critically ill.
  11. This is an opinion that has been forced upon us by people who think they benefit from it. In reality, we all lose because of our fractured, unequal health care system. The classic, obvious example is increased use of emergency services by poor people because the don't have access to good primary care. We all pay for these emergency services with our taxes, and the ambulance goes to the next call regardless of whether there is a BMW or a bicycle in front of the house.
  12. Good OU teams have made garbage UT squads winners in Dallas in 2013 and 2015. Regardless of what happens tonight, I don't even know if this is a good OU team.
  13. Unless he's suddenly become Lawrence Taylor, I don't know that it's going to make a lot of difference.
  14. Ford also has an exceptional wingspan (I think I read 6'10"). Height is a proxy for wingspan as they are generally approximately equal. I've always thought that relatively short (6'2" ish) with extended arm length (6'9" ish) would be the ideal because this would mean lower center of gravity and able to get underneath pads of defenders on run blocking but still able to extend during pass blocking.
  15. Please read the racism claims. He's complaining, compellingly, about the cops in Athens and the culture of the campus. It's called "Ole Miss" for a reason.
  16. He transferred in January. Mississippi had rejected changing the flag within the last 20 years. The Pirate is an open supported of the current president. If I'd been that scarred by open racism, I'd go someplace else.
  17. So this happens, and he transferred to a school in a state with the Confederate Battle Flag as a revered symbol?
  18. Offers outstripped his film. Ranking bump occurred when there was no actual football being played and no camps even. Eugene is a beautiful city. Best wishes.
  19. OU has a history of getting bigtime commits early and losing them late, but it's still important news.
  20. Many equals 2. Dylan lost the starting job, and increased availability of testing has allowed the B1G to return.
  21. I don't know the rule OU's using. In general, if truly asymptomatic, 1 week would be sufficient but some are using 10 - 14 days. Logically, it should vary with the level of illness of the positive person and the extent of contact between the positive and the traced.
  22. 1. They started Swenson last year while he was hurt. Apparently he's healthy now. Since health and experience tend to produce better results, I believe Swenson could be better than he was last year. Please let me know how this is controversial. That said, apparently Bedenbaugh has said Harrison has more talent than any other OL on campus. I guess that includes Creed Humphrey, who's on a lot of AA teams. 2. OU's defense lost their best play at each level so there'll be a lot of uncertainty at baseline. With new starters at each DL position, that increases uncertainy. Add in a new strategy for DL, I guess focusing on speed/quick overall, there's a lot to learn. Now consider practice disruption and absences due to C-19 Certainty is foolish. 3. Norwood apparently missed a month in quarantine, apparently never positive. He play CB in 2018 and want the worst OU DB. Regardless of his physical limits, his experience and intelligence probably generate trust over 3 true Fr. 4. I really don't think the framing was out of line with the totally of these individual careers. I acknowledged that they had rough early careers. Regardless, it's my lens. 5. Through the Norwood story, I learned that OU isn't doing screening testing yet which means that they'll probably have multiple players out weekly. Teams that have daily testing will avoid quarantine for many players and will thus have a lot less absences. This is a HUGE advantage. It looks like OU's elevating a lot of young players early this year. This may be to get experience for 2021, the year many OU fans (including me) have been pointing to as a real NC contender. With all this uncertainty, I could see a 7-3 or 8-2 OU season this year. If the defense is good, they could run the table.
  23. One wonders if his autocorrect is disabled. They are handling the news appropriately as there may be HIPAA liability for their sources if the disclosure is traced back to university employees.
