  1. So far this is not the game the media hyped it to be.
  2. Post game interviews. Completely banal and useless.
  3. Unless lab sampling or assay error then most likely you had asymptomatic or very light symptomatic infection. This will likely be the way forward for most people who have reasonable immunity via vaccine and/or natural infection.
  4. So Raccoon is my apparently my spirit animal.
  5. I feel like I’m watching 2A JV ball. And that should do it.
  6. But too many watching first ball strikes. Getting behind instantly. They did this all last year. I understand not swinging if a first strike is not in your ideal hitting zone but these are fastballs in the middle.
  7. Well, that avoided complete disaster.
  8. And I don't think you can quantify that those elite universities prepare these kids better than your state Tier 1 universities aside from connections upon graduation and riding a hundred year old reputation into grad schools and snobbery into the hiring process because a name looks good on paper. I completely agree that a liberal or classical education is important to build upon the STEM fields but if you are starting this after high school graduation, you are starting too late. It can be done in college but most kids are going into school already completing their "liberal arts" portion of their education through AP and community college dual credit courses. The STEM fields then become more polarized in higher education because the students have schedules filled with 12 hours of science/engineering/math per semester and are done in 3 years. AND the public high schools in Texas now do a piss poor job of starting the liberal (how to think) part of a student's education.
  9. More importantly is the question of how well the private school is preparing your student/child for higher education and the real world? Most likely they will get into a very reputable school with a good high school CV. It's no longer a ticket punch into ivy and maybe that's a blessing in the end. Besides STEM ivy type schools, the liberal arts education at the elite universities is now wack and not in line with what students need to become successful in everyday life. We can hope public education it is at least advancing the students in public school who don't have the means to go to private school or augment their public high school education. And they have the tools to succeed once they get there but I seriously have my doubts since the pandemic started.
  10. There is not much tangibly physical for a music fan to burn these days. Will spurned Church fans post fire .gifs with his virtual album covers in protest?
  11. Love the constant crowd/parent shots 20:1 tree over Texas. Lord ESPN sucks.
  12. Maybe. But there’s a couple of “blocks” where she is leaning over with her arms with obvious contact and no call. Tree with some home cooking.
  13. Probably not a call made in the modern game but could have been called with the body since Texas player ended up on the floor.

    Elite Eight

    Yeah our successful Women’s team is buried in a sub thread.
  15. +1 for Uner Eats people eating crap like scotch tape. Some ad agency got paid a lot of money for this “genius” idea.
  16. Crap. That guy was like the real life version of the Muppet's Animal. Wildly talented and entertaining. RIP.
  17. So not great data in reduction of mild illness and if I interpret that correctly, not really any significant disease burden including the control group. Omicron for the VAST majority of children under 10 was a walk in the park. In most cases, the illnesses were more mild than influenza. I am starting to see a corporate conflict between good science and keeping the money train rolling. This includes Pfizer's fourth shot. They are putting conjecture ahead of good data. This is going to further erode the public's trust.
  18. Username checks out. You don't have upper deck seats, do you?
  19. Not in that mold but someone more like....
  20. It’s like a regular tornado watch but extra spicy and more cheese.
  21. Would have loved to see this Carr Dec-Feb.
