  1. Curious what yinz guy’s opinion is on football stadiums and transmission.  I decided to not go to the psu-auburn game this weekend because the chance of catching it and then transmitting it to my unvaccinated 5 year old seemed like an unnecessary risk. I feel like the risk of me, vaccinated with pfizer in May, catching it in an open air stadium is fairly low. Two weeks ago I wouldn’t have thought much about it, but with WV now leading the pack in cases per capita, it only seems like a matter of a week or two until rural PA is frothing with covid. 

  2. 13 is the most, but what is typical?

    The big ten playing conference games week 1 added some losses that typically wouldn’t be there. Teams like Louisiana Lafayette being ranked added to it. 

    Psu-wisc week 1, Indiana being ranked, Iowa and ISU both being ranked, La Lafayette being ranked are all out of the ordinary and added 4 ranked losses.

    Cubs and Pirates combined for 3 grand slams in today's game.  Think that ties the record.

    Crawl during the ND game said it was the first game with 3 go ahead grand slams.

    I'm so glad we aren't joining this league. No wonder Ohio State dominates, they are the only team playing in the present century. 

    And yet somehow they don’t get dominated across the board by the 21st century offense in bowl games and out of conference games.  

  5. 14 Pa. Republican lawmakers go to court to challenge mail-in voting law 11 of them voted for

    HARRISBURG — Fourteen Republican state lawmakers have filed a new lawsuit challenging Pennsylvania’s mail-in voting law, calling it unconstitutional and asking for it to be thrown out — even though 11 of those lawmakers supported it just two years ago.

    The legal challenge was filed just before midnight Tuesday in the state Commonwealth Court. It is the latest attempt by Republicans to invalidate the 2019 law that GOP lawmakers almost unanimously supported.

    I'd wager they have a pronunciation guide for the players' names.

    I’ve seen them. Everyone in the press box gets a sheet with the numerical rosters of both teams and a pronunciation guide for any names that aren’t obvious. I can’t speak for every team but I expect it to be the case across the board.

    Can someone tell me why B1G opens with conference games?

    This is the first year they’ve done it league wide, excluding the B10 only season last year. 

    I expect it’s because Fox told them to  

    sec used to do it with a few teams. Seemed like South Carolina kicked of the season with a Thursday night sec game all the time.

    The mere fact that they are the ones dying, and not the Fox News hosts who got vaccinated to stay alive to pump their anti-vax propaganda, means the GOP Elite is keeping the grift out of the hands of the radio everyman. 

    It just shows that they are too stupid to see through the con. It’s the same with the low level conservative media outlets. 

    They aren’t able to preach the con from on high without being questioned. They have to live the con. They are middle men of stupidity.
