Slash was on my list too. That 94 CU v. UM game was one of the games that hooked me on college football as a sport in general. I have always thought the CU uniforms were one of the best in the country, especially the all black. Makes me think the Longhorns should consider an all black alternate uniform. (I'm kidding)

Yeah, I mixed up the names. A sign I am getting old. Adams was supposed to be a Heisman candidate and fell way short of that. Pat Fitzgerald is probably a forgotten name from that era too. That guy was a really solid TE.

How about a guy you probably never heard of. He played pee wee through high school football with my younger brother. My brother was always QB and he was RB. When they were 10-12 years old it was funny to watch them play because he would run 250 yards cris-crossing the field before scoring a 90 yard touchdown in the stat book. He was the 2nd leading rusher in the SEC his senior year when he blew out his knee and ended his career. Such an awful end for a guy with unreal talent Ray Hudson #27 - Alabama RB Year School Conf Class Pos G Att Yds Avg TD Rec Yds Avg TD Plays Yds Avg TD Career Alabama 278 1639 5.9 7 30 333 11.1 3 308 1972 6.4 10 2001 Alabama SEC FR RB 11 37 205 5.5 1 1 26 26.0 0 38 231 6.1 1 2002 Alabama SEC SO RB 13 49 306 6.2 1 3 50 16.7 1 52 356 6.8 2 2003 Alabama SEC JR RB 12 100 490 4.9 1 15 179 11.9 1 115 669 5.8 2 *2004 Alabama SEC SR RB 6 92 638 6.9 4 11 78 7.1 1 103 716 7.0 5

It's Covid season, so everyone is drinking all day everyday

You've Lulzed me twice tonight. Well done bro.

My first Texas OU game and still my favorite I was thinking Lovell Pinckney or Mike Davis when I saw this thread. I thought both of those guys were going on to long pro careers.

Charlie coached my daughters high school football team a few years back. Hell of a nice guy from what I heard, earned a lot of respect from his players, but he was average at best as a coach at the HS level. I was quite surprised. He was phenomenal in college and really good in the NBA.

This is a top ten humble brag. Well done, and I hope Rick is right.

There is so much wrong with this I don't even know where to start. First - If you don't equate the economy to affecting peoples lives, then I would ask you to do a research project on the great depression. The economy will effect numerous more lives than a virus. Second - Sure I am white collar and should come out of this fine. But I know white collar people that used to work at the same company as me, that no longer do as a result of my company's reaction to this thing. My life and my kids lives aren't ruined, but a lot of things that they should have been able to take part in have been terminated and they will never get that opportunity back. Third - You are a fucking idiot if you think that the people leaning toward getting back to somewhat normal are doing it so they can travel for "funsies" and smile when they check their 401k. Are you a fifth grader?

On first read I had this sentence as "much longer and people start doing meth" which I thought was an interesting new angle and probably a really bad drug choice for quarantine. Unless you are looking to complete an entire home remodel. Or looking to move to Oklahoma...

If the iceburg is in the Indian Ocean is that racist?

Exactly.

It's usually right after I read something like this that I wonder why people want to dismiss the origin debate to focus on what the US has done wrong.

Now that we figured out that Lysol kills it if you ingest it, and we all have Lysol... Ball. Game.

Kinda ray sis

In all honesty, the universities need to look at improving the stadiums and decreasing capacity anyway. Things were trending that way already. Can't you agree to a limited seating of some sort for this season and start looking at ways to improve the experience by providing better seating and amenities? And if the haves get permanently separated from the have nots as a result of this thing I will count it as one of the silver linings.

How do high school sports "stay in business"? There isn't anywhere close to the expenses at D2

Shit is fucked!! Fuck you covid!!!

The fact that the Buckeyes are cheating may be the only thing I believe in the last four pages.

So pee-pee in your Coke is the vaccine?

Seems like you are almost certain to contract it this way, but if this is the "it's just like the flu" team that may be ok.

So, I've read most of this thread and a lot of the articles and other stuff. I appreciate the variety of views and information, but I still feel extremely uninformed. At least this group of idiots knows how to survive a pandemic while still making jokes about our trip through the twilight zone. Based on my completely uninformed opinion, I have come to the conclusion that: 1 - We stay in our houses and away from each other for about 12 -16 months or 2 - A large segment of the population is gonna get this thing Am I wrong? What portion of time do the Greenspoints of the world think we need to SIP for this thing to leave us alone? Does anyone want to be the guinea pig for the vaccine? I get flattening the curve, but that just stretches the volume of infected over a longer period of time to keep from locking up the health care system. Count me in the group wondering when our illustrious leadership will come up with a plan.

My church has gone fully online, and the churches in the rural county where I have family have gone to outside meetings if they are still meeting in person. Like I said, there is plenty of space, so they all pull up in a large field and do "drive in" style church. But they are still hayseed hicks and what not.

Yeah, I'm gonna call bullshit on this. Small town America keeps social distances naturally. Everyone likes their personal space and most people have houses and yards if not large pieces of property. We don't live right on top of each other like happens in cities. The small town where my relatives live has a total of 2 cases in the entire county (out of 20,000) and the larger city where I live has less than 350 cases and 7 total deaths out of a total of approximately 500,000 people in this county and the neighboring one. And it isn't lack of testing resulting in those numbers. People here are taking it serious at different levels, but there is still a lot of the things going on that brings angst on this thread. As I mentioned upthread, my wife works at the largest hospital for 100 miles in any direction and it is a ghost town. It may explode here too, but it won't be this month. Just like everything else in the world, small towns will be the last ones to get it.

Same with my RN wife and the hospital she works at. Biggest hospital in the region is sitting nearly empty.
