Formerly DT: COVID-19 - Featuring Lots of Politics, now CR because political talk not going away
Agree and I also read that total deaths through March were down relative to prior years. By the end of the year i suspect the total deaths will be in line with prior years (plus year over year growth).

Johnny can you find daily / weekly / monthly deaths from all causes in the USA? Probably the only stat that will provide some insight into the overall trend relative the previous few years. I’ve looked but it’s all Covid all the time /Vince Vaughn “That's what old people do. They die.”

Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
Trying to think of examples of teams surrounded by a circus that still win big. One that comes to mind is the Bulls with Rodman. They only had the goat with Jordan .... any others examples come to mind??

Call it now: Does Tom Herman earn job security this season?
This should be a 10 to 11 win team in the regular season. World events and the associated activism are either going to result in a feel good ‘remember the Titans’ type season where the team and the fans come together and celebrate the new normal - or - the added pressure and distractions make them crater to a 6-6 season and the fans and alumni turn ugly. I’m hoping for the former but these guys don’t seem vested in what it takes to be champions.

Dudes better win a lot of games or this is going to get really ugly come October - November.

Agree. Perhaps they should have a tool that shames the offender. Like waving your finger?

Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
I can’t go through 29 pages to see if it’s been stated but - these dudes better ball out and win 10 or 11 in the regular season or the fans are going to turn ugly. I’ll be rooting for them, with my wallet and my heart. A little worried this is going to add extra pressure to already stressful situations late in games. Hope they are able to deliver.

Why are we so upset about this NOW?
Election years amplification. We have a couple more crisis in the news cycle before November.

Wow. So George Floyd’s cured COVID 19? That’s one heck of a legacy.

Whats next?
It’s an Election year. You should expect one catastrophic news cycle after another through early November.

So if the US averages around 2.8M deaths per calendar year ... what’s your guess on 2020? Some modest year over year growth is expected. And yeah perhaps a spike of an extra 100k or so over the past month but my guess that is going to be watered down by the end of the year. At risk / elderly people are going to pass away for a variety of reasons. My guess is we will be less than 3M dead. Say 2.95M. And the debates afterward are going to be divisive as ever ... So Call Your Shot.

Very nice lady and extremely sad. https://www.fox4news.com/news/16-year-old-arrested-for-preston-hollow-womans-murder Are we supposed to go burn some shit to the ground tonight? Not sure what the protocol is these days.

Tom "the turtle" Herman [Lame Duck or greatest 5d chess player ever?]
Mostly feel bad for the players. Those dudes sold out and they were betrayed by a shit offensive game plan that didn’t account for an atrocious playing surface. Finally adjusted after 29 minutes but then went back to the same shit game plan when we finally took the lead late. I can excuse the stupid mistakes late in the game by the players. Should not have been that close to begin with.

Texas Longhorns vs Iowa State Cyclones
Feeling bad for the players. Really played hard but were let down by a shit offensive gameplan that didn’t account for the disastrous playing surface. Took them 29 minutes to figure it out and then inexplicably went back to the same shit game plan when we finally got the lead. i can excuse some of the late game screw ups by the the players. Should never have been that close.

Geography bias in rankings ... 25 of the top 50 recruits on 247 composite are from sec footprint (FL, GA, MS, AL, LA, SC). How is this possible?

Fascinating. No doubt arrow is pointing up. Would like to see a few more badasses in the trenches though.

Is anything less than a Big 12 title next year acceptable?
Graduating are all three DL, both linebackers, both corners. That’s seven dudes near the line of scrimmage. A lot to replace. I would tap the brakes a little.

Texas vs. OU Sat 12/1 @11:00 AM
Just got this feeling that the scoring will be much lower than expected. Winner in the mid / high 30s.
