Still wood, repeatedly. Singing is sexy, it can easily jump a 6 to a 9 Sheryl Crow another 9, probably a 6-7 otherwise Amy Winehose was borderline 10 but really like a 4 once the booze and drugs wore off.

Actually I think their young receivers are better than their predecessors, but S&C and maturity do make a difference. They have some really good young guys, but if Demas ends up starting this year he won’t always be running wild against 5-9 155lb DBs from HS. someone like a Surtain or Stingley are going to break that poor kid in half.

Fun fact, for the first 3 years of aggy football they didn’t make a single field goal or extra point, missed them all. They finally figured out the crosses in the end zone have 2 uprights. If you cross your eyes and squint you can still see their original design.

I mean that being generous calling 3 signed duck dynasty books, a case of FEMA pamphlets and a stack of nutria hides a “library”. I did hear they had quite a collection on microfiche that all escaped during one of the heavier storms.

Last time I looked at the realignment thread it was 1,400 posts and diagrams by Kopple Heard Danny Kanell on ESPNU today, he went on a rant bashing the B12 as an entire conference that doesn’t play a physical brand of football. All the teams suck except possibly OU is ok, and the lack of practice and cohesion from COVID proved it when a bunch of scrubs played smash mouth on the conference yesterday. Immediately following that he said watch out for Georga Tech, they are sneaky good this year. He was a scrub who’s main claim to fame was backup QB to Charlie Ward when they won a MNC that should have gone to Domers. Dome kicked their ass, but choked to BC a few weeks later on a walk of field goal. I mean, the B12 is a dumpster fire right now, there’s what, 2 HCs with tenures >3 years and half are in their 1st year? Add COVID to the mix and it’s probably an ugly year. We were the best conference top to bottom in the 2000’s and fell to the middle of the pack over the past decade largely because we sucked Still, until this year B12 has been better than PAC or ACC collectively

Oh they have baseball, they host all the best teams every single year.

Seriously, fuck the B1G. So what, they going to vote on playing a conference only schedule that runs mid October to Mid Jan? So what about the playoffs, heres betting they push to have it moved to Feb. anyone really think SEC is going to make 3 teams sit around for 2 months after their season before they crown a MNC? Somehow the only thing Im sure of is there’s going to be multiple titles and aggy is going to claim another MNC on the tackle box for 2020. It will probably take them a few years and they probably go 6-4, but when the stadium starts collapsing from playing fake crowd noise at 130dB, the rebuild will include another extra MNC on the wall. It has to be in their 12th man foundation pitch, “Howdy, if y’all donate 500M collectively so we can add another tray in the box, we guarantee it will result in another MNC.”

Virus mutation is constantly happening and it goes all different directions. When a mutation selects for more deadly, it kills its host and dies with it since the host can’t keep going out spreading that version. the ideal selection is becoming highly infectious while also causing few or no symptoms, highest chance for survival by spreading rapidly and unchecked. Im guessing the version that spread through San Marcos this summer was not the same that hit NY so hard this spring, daughter and >20 of her friend group all got it, none had any symptoms. They only got tested because they did their own version of contact tracing. There were a few who tested negative, but most of who they thought were exposed did actually test positive.

Fucking aggy already does this regularly. Went to TxSt game last year and the stands were less than half full for a Thursday nighter, didn’t take long to realize that “the greatest experience, with the greatest fans, in the greatest shithole stadium” was a a bunch of bullshit with piped in fan noise over the loud speakers at an ear shattering 200dB. Pretty sure there’s some kind of rule against shit like blasting music over the PA to disrupt the other teams offense, making it so they can’t hear. But never lie, cheat or steal aggy uses pre=recorded crowd noise played at an obscene volume exactly that way right through the snap. Home field advantage indeed.

And gain back 100lbs, fast, and in a good way. That and playing school are an awful lot of hills to climb at once. but hey, recruit more 3* guards, shoot for the moon for a couple guys that go to bama, and continue to talk shit about your rival/not rivals OL recruiting. Meanwhile, jimbo just got remarried and is going full tilt FSU recruiting to get the hell out of that shithole with 75M.

I think it’s here to stay under current conditions. MERS has an Ro <1, SARS <2, while most reports of C19 are >2 and possibly >3. Long incubation time coupled with ease of transmission makes it highly infectious. I think there’s too many idiots to believe it’s possible to mask/distance/test/vaccine our way out of this successfully. Imagine Idiocracy II The Pandemic. Im for football with fans in the stands, not as a C19 denier, rather a cynic who thinks the best chance our dumbasses have is to let it run it’s course rapidly and run out of new hosts, or select for something more benign.

Corona viruses have an average immunity period of 8-15 months post recovery so herd immunity will probably never happen unless this virus were allowed to burn through the population naturally. Until there’s an effective vaccine world wide this will slow burn through the population reinfecting people as their antibodies diminish. We can also hope it selects for a less lethal variant and is relegated to a strong Flu A.

The shithole recycling machine in Ohio. OU may have the dock market cornered, but those other fuckers have purchased and evaded their way into a 3rd transition near the top. riley may have stepped into a more stable situation, Orgeron stepped into better talent. the big winner is over at aggy making $75M for status quo of 4th in conference. I mean, I absolutely bleed orange and abhor aggy, but I would give up 3 years of my life working to get fired for $75m.

At this point it doesn’t seem unreasonable to think there will be no classes on campus this fall and possibly this spring. What effect does that have on early enrollees decisions on where to play? Playing close to home makes sense, voluntary workouts and such, though how does housing figure into the scenario. aggy could be completely fucked with their OOS recruiting strategy. Brocks probably had a valid concern that they could be walking into a transition class if they committed here, now it looks like the staff will be here through at least 2021. Meanwhile Saban will be another year closer to retirement,

If you have 2 inverter gens they need to be the same amperage and voltage. Connect them with parallel cables Do they have 30a outlets?

Only logical Mormons should be supportive, why else have multiple wives if not for romancin. Plus for every guy who takes 5 wives, there’s 4 guys who get left out, supply/demand and whatnot.

I would be ok with that, mrs Fidy and I went to westlake, or brood went to LT, so we always win. Based on recent test results within our family, I would likely attend every game if that were allowed.
-
So a guy who went to college in Baton Rouge is racist? Wonder how he feels about LSU? Is this similar to aggy pretending to be a horn and fucking with recruits on SM to make us look bad?

I realize it’s not a popular opinion, but let’s at least be honest about football players and their “free education”. Are there half a dozen players on the team who will play meaningful time in the NFL and make significant money doing so? Yes, and they are probably not receiving their market value playing in college (unless they are SEC) AND are physically ready for that profession. There are more with future potential but they still need physical training, positional coaching, nutrition, and mental maturity to get to that level and be successful. Are there >75 players who will never reach the NFL who are being “paid” tuition, books, room, meals, tutors, very high level medical treatment, along with an allowance? Meals alone, how do the football players meals compare to what you ate in college? There is no Golden Corral in the North end zone. It’s true those don’t amount to an actual tax free wage that you can save or spend at your own discretion, but they are the trade off for representing the university as a student athlete. For the great majority of players football represents an opportunity to get a degree for playing a game a lot of them actually want to play. How many HS senior football players are relieved when the reality sets in that they will never play organized football again just as they are starting to hit their prime physical condition in life? A few? How many would jump at the chance to keep playing, all the benefits aside? Probably a lot of them. Surely there are players playing only as a means to an end, like a chance to escape poverty. Well, the NFL might be a golden ticket, but a college degree in a surer bet. How many players get a more prestigious degree and better connections than they would have otherwise from academics alone? More than a few. Most kids play football because they grew up loving the sport. I mentioned high level medical care and I absolutely acknowledge that a lot of that care and treatment is a result of injuries from playing football. Though how many players have prior injuries that are remedied after they enroll? Or conditions not football related who end up with top specialists that would not have been available otherwise? We have quite a few just on our team alone. I don’t disagree with most of what you post, it’s the hyperbole that gets stale. This “great melting pot” of a country has some long overdue change that’s needed, the whole concept of race needs to be removed from the equation. We are all people, good, bad, ugly, beautiful, whatever... we need to move on from the social construct of race and focus on our species and our relationship with the planet and beyond. But the near-term demands of social equity and wether or not athletes get paid are two very different subjects. Yeah, most college football players think they are going to the NFL, so yeah they are underpaid at this point in their career. But reality speaks otherwise and most of them are being compensated quite well for a teenager playing a sport.

They have so many fucking traditions, I really don’t get all the anger against taking down a severely racist statue. I mean, aside from aggy and all. there’s certainly some push back at UT about giving up the eyes of Texas, can you imagine the complete melt down if they were cornered into give up the hububbablew goodbye to us song? Holy shit, they would burn everything to the ground before that.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Treefidy replied to justhookit's topic in Daily Texan
Plus 1 for effort, but sorry, no pics. I really couldn’t speak to that, daughters friends and all. My son certainly has an opinion on the matter, he has spent the past 3 weeks in SM with one of them. -
JFC, 1917 GaTech beat the shit out of their opponents 491-17. Their closest game was 32-10. Aggy had a good season but GT didn’t share that title. 1940 is a joke. Again they had a good season, co-champs of the SWC, lost to UT but redeemed theirselves against Fordham in the cotton bowl 13-12. Meanwhile, the actual title was split among undefeated Stanford, Minnesota and Tenn (lost bowl). I suppose by aggy standard they credit us with 13 MNCs. No, only the 4 we claim? How absolutely aggy to need to one-up us, regardless of facts.

COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Treefidy replied to justhookit's topic in Daily Texan
So daughter has the most recent results of the group of ~30, her results came back positive Monday 6/22. The actual test was 10 days prior on 6/12. No symptoms, nothing at all. Of the group, one said she had a cough and sore throat for 2 days and another said she couldn’t taste her OJ. Out of the group those were all and the extent of symptoms, all the rest tested positive with no symptoms. I was extremely skeptical of the ~80% asymptomatic/immune theory posited earlier on, but in light of new information there must be something to it, or at least the idea some may have immunity from other Coronas. ,I don’t know all of them but I do know 11 of the positives quite well, they come hang at our place regularly during normal times. We are relieved and grateful that they are all well, and at this point we consider this a best case because we now worry less about how diligent they are (or weren’t) in trying to avoid catching it. -
COVID-19 2nd wave - Texas only - Stats and such
Treefidy replied to justhookit's topic in Daily Texan
daughter in San Marcos tested positive Monday, took 10 days to get results. They told her that since she has not had symptoms she can resume life. As a precaution she is quarantining an additional week and getting another test. 5 days prior to the positive test she got a rapid test, her BF and his roommate tested positive so she got tested, 1 hour results, negative. Prompted to get the second test because 2 roommates work at Chuy’s which had an outbreak. 1 tested positive, one negative. Among their close circle they know over 30 who have tested positive, only 2 with any symptoms at all and those were extremely minor. San Marcos doing its part toward herd immunity!
