  1. Thanks for that chart. I hadn’t seen them overlaid scaled per capita. But I also don’t think it refutes my point. New York’s winter wave was just as avoidable and frustrating as everyone else’s. The nationwide holiday season “we’re not going to let covid ruin our Christmas” wave and then sharp decline. As you said there are some interesting conversations to be had about different death waves: the southern “covid is bullshit” summer 2020 wave, the South Dakota sturgis bump and subsequent “see it’s not so bad” fall wave, the northeast early spring “the olds are getting vaxxed and we’ve been locked in for too long” wave. But the most frustrating trend of all is the current one that is creating a disaster for the south right now. It didn’t have to be like this, but the antivaxxers are going to get a lot of people killed over the next two months. We’re seeing it born out right now in the difference between NY and TX. New York is ahead of Texas by 15 points in adult vaccination rates. The two states are currently on divergent paths. Cases in texas are 3x ny per capita and rising faster. Hospitalizations are 4x per capita and rising faster. Deaths are 4.3x per capita and rising faster. In NY locations that could turn into superspeader hot spots like Broadway theaters are going to be requiring proof of vaccination for entry. Masks are making a comeback. Governors in the south are doing everything in their power to make the spread as bad as possible in their states. Desantis is securing the Republican nomination, or at least Trump’s VP pick, while simultaneously ensuring that he has absolutely no chance to win on a national level. There are counties in Florida that have a test positivity rate of over 25%.
  2. There are definitely several story lines when you look at the death statistics. The overarching storyline being that most of the deaths were largely preventable. And Texas should absolutely be embarrassed about passing NY in deaths, regardless of other states being worse at mitigating the pandemic. Texas and New York deaths timelines:
  3. So you have a group of states connected to the NYC metro area where the virus was spreading unmitigated for several months at the start of the pandemic and 6 states where the deaths were mostly preventable.
  4. The most recent time I thought I was going to break 80 for the first time I started out even thru 6. Bogey the last 3 holes to clear the front at 39. Was feeling good tho making the turn. 3-putt the 10th hole from 8 feet for triple bogey and proceeded to card a 49 on the back.
  5. I’ve seen this gif posted here hundreds of times but I still have no idea what is happening. Why the fuck are they grabbing their nuts?
  6. I had no idea so many schools had a dedicated baseball logo. Seems stupid. Get 1 good logo and run with it.
  7. One of the things that I love about this board that drives me crazy on other boards, and texags seems to be the absolute worst about is keeping topics to a single thread. Almost every thread on their front page should all be in a single topic. But they are all such self important cunts that they think every thought they have merits it’s own thread instead of just posting it into a single thread.
  8. No, but when you’re in the sec games against tenn, sc, and the Mississippis get billed as top tier matchups.
  9. Plus you guys will be able to move the games against UTSA to November for a late season breather as per sec tradition.
  10. This move solidifies the SEC as the top conference after Saban is gone. After Urban left Florida and Cam Newton left Auburn, the sec has largely made its name on 1 team. As we’ve seen with Texas, Michigan, USC, etc. It’s more likely than not that they dip for a spell. Outside of Bama’s run under Saban they really have been just another conference that kept its reputation by what 1 team was doing. Remember in like 2014 when people were trying to say that when the first playoff rankings came out the top 4 should be bama, ole miss, miss st, and auburn? And then all 4 went on to lose their bowl games. Having Texas and OU there all but guarantees that after bamas dynasty fades, that collection of schools is still always the best conference, rather than comparable to the B1G or the old B12 or anyone else.
  11. WVU already trying to remind western PA that they still exist in their OOC. In 2023 their nonconference games are Pitt, psu, Duquesne. They also have a game against Robert Morris scheduled. One step away from adding slippery rock. To their credit, at the opposite end of the spectrum they have a home and home with bama scheduled.
  12. No one here will do it on the board. But we all know that the first time Texas wins a bowl game as an sec team there will be thousands in the stands chanting sec-sec-sec. 20 years from now, the younger set of Texas fans will be full-on “sec über alles”.
  13. I haven’t followed the ramifications of NIL closely so that was a really interesting conversation to hear about how things could be approached from a perspective of making sure everyone one the team gets taken care of as well as the NFT component.
  14. Double
  15. I can attest to this. For years my 60* was the only club I pulled inside of 70 yards down to the fringe. I had a lot of comfort with it, but I was constantly leaving the ball short. For every holed chip there were many that never got close. After about the millionth 2 putt for bogie after leaving a long chip halfway to the hole I decided I needed to re-evaluate my short game thinking. I’m currently trying to find as many ways as possible to take the 60* out of my hands. It definitely has its place, and I’d never take it out of my bag, but it’s not for everywhere or everyone.
  16. Lol Bryson.
  17. Us open app
  18. Just as a point of discussion, Rory was 23rd in fairways hit, Bryson was 35th. 10th & 2nd in driving distance. Tied for 8th in GIR. 21st and 15th in putts. Hughes and Oosie are 60th and 18th in fairways, 53rd and 61st in driving distance, 8th and 41st in GIR, 6th and 2nd in putts.
  19. Because of course a bunch of guys that were over par for the tournament and round were likely going to continue doing more of the same.
  20. I’ve been out of this thread for a while. What’s the general take on 1792 full proof? Grabbed a bottle for $45.
  21. It feels so contrived. Just pops up after the tour announces the “player impact fund”. Watching Brooks try to explain how it was bringing more attention to golf was painful.
  22. The Brooks - Bryson bro fight might be one of the dumbest storylines in golf right now. Honestly who gives a fuck about two douchebags pretending to have a rivalry? I wouldn’t care, but it’s been like 1/4 of the coverage in golf channel this week.
