  1. Still way too many unknowns about the long-term effects of this virus. According to this article, asymptomatic patients still had lung scarring and there is potential for infertility, among many other things. I don’t see how we can expect football this year unless we are all willing to shut down, mask up, and bend the curve to where testing, tracing, and isolation is overwhelmingly effective. So, yeah, I’m not optimistic. https://www.vox.com/2020/5/8/21251899/coronavirus-long-term-effects-symptoms
  2. The comments on that tweet are hilarious, especially the people who don't know anything about aggy. And don't forget about jawja when talking sec.
  3. The line of condemnation should at a minimum be drawn at 1968, but I'm not opposed to pushing it back another decade or more, like to 1954. The worst are the guys who only drop an N bomb in hushed tones to other whites assuming that because someone is white they are OK with it, even if they are a kid--insidious bitches trying to impress upon kids that all white adults talk that way. Fuck those guys. I knew too many of them growing up in the late 60's/early 70's and they rarely change. And fuck the Utah guy too.
  4. So what’s the intel? Or is it just clickbait?
  5. Good character guys often come with above average intelligence, as befitting the University of Texas. It's no surprise current and former Longhorn players are prominently engaged in the national conversation. I'm good with Eagles. Let's make some needed changes and do our best to make them both positive and lasting.
  6. I don’t like this spur designation. They should call it rocket.
  7. You can tell just from looking at 66 and 67 that it was an aggy game.
  8. Dream vs Shaq is an easy call. If the game is tied in the last few seconds and you coach Shaq's team, you're going to send the double team when Hakeem gets the ball. If you're coaching the other team, you don't have to send the double team to help Dream--you can hope for a steal, block, altered shot, or something from Dream, who is clutch. And then there are free throws and the basketball elegance of Dream over the brute force of Shaq. To me, Duncan is the toughest Top 10 call. Lots of accolades and accomplishments, and he did make clutch shots--but he missed some clutch free throws. Also, he often took the easier big man defensive assignment, particularly in the playoffs. You almost never saw him guard the best post player all game. Nit-picky, yeah, but we are talking Top 10. And how do you factor the cultural significance of Dr. J? Anyway, here are my Top 10: Jordan Magic LBJ Bird Olajuwon Kareem Russell Wilt Shaq Duncan Dr. J, Oscar, and Kobe are next. I don't think Steph is Top 10 material and KD will have to do a few more things before he works his way up to consideration. Speaking of Hakeem, the first 3:40 of this video are something else.
  9. Oops. Missed the Montana-North Dakota mutual aid agreement, which is not on the same level as the major compacts. So yeah, Montana is kind of sitting by themselves too.
  10. I would think the governor, the rest of state leadership, and public health officials will also have some say. It'll be interesting to see how these new alliances influence college football and other sports. California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Colorado are all in the Western States Pact which calls for a shared vision and consistency on fighting COVID-19 and appropriately opening up the economy. Hawaii is coordinating with the group and Idaho may be invited soon. New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware formed a Regional Advisory Council with similar goals. Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine are coordinating with Massachusetts and are expected to eventually become part of the Regional Advisory Council. Maryland, D.C., Virginia, and North Carolina have set up a group. South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee are all working together. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, and Kentucky make up the Midwest Partnership. North and South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, and Arkansas have a compact as the Missouri River States. Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and the Navajo Nation are coordinating while Utah and New Mexico also have a compact with Colorado, Wyoming, and Kansas. Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, West Virginia, Idaho, and Alaska are the only states who don't currently belong to some formal state government level COVID-19 group. However, the 13 states of the Confederacy (including Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana) along with West Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland have formed the Higher Education Recovery Task Force which will focus on Higher Ed challenges. Given the states and schools involved, no doubt one of those challenges is football.
  11. Anyone in the Cal State University system (Fresno State, San Diego State, San Jose State) we'd want?
  12. California State University system plans to cancel in-person classes this fall. Instruction will be primarily online.
  13. Terry Hoage. DB from Huntsville, won a championship with Georgia, finished 5th in the Heisman, 10+ years in the NFL, would have been a Horn if Akers had recruited him. I think Georgia gave him their last scholarship, which was the only major offer he received.
  14. How does it affect the car dealers who fund the SEC bagmen?
  15. Pretty pics, but every one of those shade covers should be solar panels.
  16. People always forgetting about this guy, who I think will only get better.
  17. Pretty sure that in high school, Leon O'Neal was a 10 star.
  18. Well, we know who the bitch is in that relationship. (This whole notion is bad and I feel horrible for contributing to it.)
  19. Wait, what exactly happens at the end of this clip?
