While I wish CDC didn't spend his time giving parking advice over Twitter, he has crushed his new coaching hires and the overall athletic program is miles over the Dodds/Plonsky administration. The problem at Texas is the same as always, BMD that think success in business, law, etc makes them competent to make all the big decisions for Texas Football.

You are correct, but that is also exactly the thing that happened to Sark tonight. He's a dead man walking and our recruiting, along with the ability to attract transfers and top coaching talent just evaporated.

There WAS a chance, it was last offseason. Sark needed to identify the gaping holes on his team and use the portal and transfers to address them. He needed to tweak his schemes on offense to account for the holes and make sure his DC was flexible in doing the same. It's too late now. College sports are all about momentum, both games and recruiting. Losing 5 straight, including to Kansas slams that door shut. What recruits, or transfers are going to want to come to a team that can't fucking beat Kansas at home? What coaches are going to want to join an obviously sinking ship? We won't fire him until at least next year, but he's already dead and we'll fall even further behind waiting for the optics to improve.

You don't recover from losing to Kansas. Waiting 2+ more years to fire him only lets the corpse rot further.

This is fucking bullshit. I got vaccinated and my 5G coverage didn't get any better. I tried this to detox the vaxx and my 5G coverage didn't get any worse. I'm starting to think the vaccine doesn't have any effect on 5G coverage.

Fuck this simulation.

It's amazing that we have so many ignorant motherfuckers proudly spouting Texags stupidity without a scintilla of introspection. Spoiler alert: If you find yourself in complete agreement with those mouth breathers over anything, you should immediately examine where you fucked up in your thought process.

We all agree that it's necessary. We just don't have any fucking clue what it's doing, or what the schedule is, or why they won't finally sack up and arrest the seditious pieces of shit that are defying their subpoenas. This committee is essential. They are one of the last bastions of the Republic left, standing between us and a cult of fascist morons.

The key difference here being you don't have access to replay and these officials do. Blowing it dead here is the wrong call, because it stops the play no matter what. When it is this close, they should let it play out and get it called correctly in the booth.

True, but we make up for that by also not having safeties.

Troll gonna troll. Same as he always has under previous usernames. Same as he will under future ones after this one is banned.

Asking the supposed strength of the defense (DL) to eat blocks and funnel the playmaking to the weak links of the defense (LB and Safeties) has been a recipe for disaster and we've cooked several batches already this season. Nothing fucks up a college offense like a DL that can penetrate and disrupt.

Is it too much to ask for him to strangle Kurt Bohls with the microphone cord?

Quite noticeable already in game 1.

Very good points. I'd also add that the Cajuns returned a ridiculously veteran, experienced offense that averaged 421 yards and 34 points last year. The D turned in a solid performance with lots of room for improvement. There was a lot to be excited about in this game.

Jones has only been playing football a few years, and got garbage coaching here until Flood. He still has no idea WTF he's doing much of the time and should improve immensely with competent coaching.

Sark has all the pieces to be a great one, if he's conquered his personal demons. Falling from grace is a hell of an experience. I'm glad we're the ones giving him a second chance, not USC. He now has another shot, at a better program, and USC has Clay Helton.

Seems the FDA may have been the hold up on vaccines for under 12 and booster shots, both of which are badly overdue in my opinion. The people that will replace them in these positions will be highly qualified. Hopefully, the replacements will be quicker to respond to changing data.

Unfortunately, there isn't any data that I've seen on this yet. I'll post it here when I see some. I will be surprised if the CDC doesn't update guidance to boosters at 6 months by mid-Sept.

I am not a doctor disclaimer... Depends who you ask, we are in a liminal phase. It also depends on your goal. If you are fully vaccinated, and not old/immune compromised, you have excellent protection against severe cases, or death. Booster shots would be to reduce transmission (definitely) and reduce odds of contracting long covid (likely, but not enough data to say yet). Personally, I think the rollout is far too slow, but I took a lot of shit for saying they were inevitable back in June. I understand the CDC is working on a much slower timeline and waiting for concrete data, with larger sample sizes, while I was working off probabilities. This is actually much faster for them to come around than I was expecting. Again, just my personal opinion. I think people with Pfizer need to be getting that booster before month 6, definitely by 6. If I was a teacher, or clinician, I would not wait for the CDC. I would get my antibody levels checked and take a booster if low. I understand it goes against the CDC currently. I expect they will change it in the near future. Biden mentioned 5 months a day or so ago. I want to stress again though, I'm not a doctor and this is not medical advice. I recommend talking it over with your doctor. I think Moderna is good through at least 6 months, but we don't know how long yet. I've been assuming ~7 months against Delta, but that's a hunch and I don't have any data to back it up yet. I got my second Moderna at the beginning of April and have not yet gotten a booster. I wear an N95 and have kept my exposures low. In the meantime, mask up and get your antibodies checked with the UT study. They'll give you some idea of rough protection level.

No, we are seeing a fair number of breakthrough cases, where people test positive. Many are asymptomatic, many have symptoms similar to the cold/flu that our disinformation merchants say Covid has always been. We are seeing some hospitalizations from vaccinated, mostly elderly and/or immune compromised. The vaccines stop almost all ICU visits and deaths.
