I like inside jokes. I hope to be a part of one some day.

I’m sure they would love him if he could play. He’s not eligible to play anywhere other than Texas this fall.

If he’s right, it helps get DB recruiting back on track. The spotlight is really just on OL and WR to get their recruiting shit together. Every other position is pretty well stocked with more good recruits on the way.

People throwing out 52-14 predictions and saying a one point win would cause a meltdown have not really studied our first opponent. I would be thrilled with a blowout win. I’m just not expecting us to be that good that early in the season.

He wouldn’t know what that is like. He would lose this game.

This could be the 3rd or 4th best team we play this year. Game one with a new offensive and defensive system and a QB making his first start? I’ll be thrilled with a one point victory.

Blanton’s noted.

This guy right here is doing it right.

Really? Take that shit somewhere else.

If they really have no other option at QB, they are truly fucked. Martinez has horrible mechanics. There is no excuse for that with a senior QB.

Martinez is fucking terrible. He is missing wide open receivers and making terrible decisions in the pocket. I honestly think Nebraska should sit him in the second half.

Sark has time to develop one of Wright/Lourd into a backup by 2022.

Is this the first game you have ever seen on television?

He will have no regrets. They money whipped him for reasons that are not known to anyone. Even if he fails in epic fashion he will walk away with millions.

This does remind me it’s not all doom and gloom. RB, DL, TE, LB and possibly QB if a certain hall of fame legacy commits to us are stocked at Alabama like levels. Our problems are just so concentrated to a few position groups and that’s fucking annoying.

I’m rooting for Nebraska today but this is still worth reposting:

Here was the media narrative last week: https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-business-health-coronavirus-pandemic-4d0d18b24e0dd41de2424e19b3ed994f The implication of the article is Desantis is pushing a treatment for financial purposes. Not for medical reasons. Fauci today announced this is an effective treatment. And before the two separate large scale trials on Ivermectin are complete, here is the Google news clip on the drug. It’s already being described as a false treatment despite the ongoing trial. Now, it’s possible the findings are it’s not effective. But this is the media coverage BEFORE that has been scientifically determined. It’s already been designated as a false treatment. It’s obviously reckless to self medicate and certainly a terrible idea to avoid the vaccine. That being said, the media should not drive a narrative against a potential treatment for political reasons.

You won’t have another IPA when you fully convert to wine and whiskey.

Well, I am concerned the well is being potentially poisoned on Ivermectrin if it does end up working. The context by which people are referring to it - and I’m not saying it isn’t without cause is that is some bizarre animal cream. Not the perfectly safe pill version being used. I shared a story from a doctor who specifically told me people with strong political beliefs are refusing the treatment. Is that because of politics? The fact that it does not have full FDA approval and still on trial and that personality tends to be more risk averse on this subject? That is revisionist history on Regeneron and media coverage. Just a week ago the media was accusing Desantis of promoting an unsafe and unproven drug because of a financial conflict of interest. Your concern about how his approaching this with this specific drug is certainly not the light it was being cast in just last week. He should be promoting the vaccine and mask use. That’s a completely fair criticism. But that wasn’t the narrative in the media coverage initially.

It seems like it’s pretty much known Card will start the first game then?

I did not validate any argument against a vaccine. If someone read my post as anti vaccine then they simply did not read it. If that’s is how you read it then you have more than Covid to worry about. Like the loss of basic cognitive function.

I’m glad you read my post as politically motivated. I’m sure that’s the lens you see everything in based on the language you use. I shared my recent experience because I see how these treatments are getting written about in media today and I can this becoming an issue. My opinions on vaccines is well documented so I did not feel the need to comment on that subject again .

My brother, a stroke survivor and very much an at risk patient is likely to be discharged from a California hospital today. He was fully vaccinated with the Pfizer shot in March. No hesitation taking the vaccine in anyone in my family fortunately. He had a breakthrough case that required hospitalization. I am his family contact so I spent most of the week on the phone with the doctor about his treatment. First question I get - “what is your political belief? We are using medicine for at risk patients that are currently in clinical trials but some people are not comfortable with that.” I was floored. How is my political belief at all relevant to treating a patient in the hospital? She went on to say some people are not comfortable with Regeneron or Ivermectrin due to the political nature of the drugs. I knew the vaccine had become a political topic on the right but did not know that treatments were political. Experimental technically but political? Then I read about the stories of ranchers and vets taking Ivermectin without the guidance of a doctor and I realized those stories have probably created a reluctance to the idea of a hospital administered dosage by pill. And that the Florida governor was promoting Regeneron so people on the left were probably automatically discounting it as a treatment. I asked the doctor, who I would describe as not a Trump supporter what she would do if she were sick? She said, these are both safe and anecdotally in use at this hospital they have been very effective. Having no medical knowledge myself I said I have no political belief that would preclude me from being for or against my treatment. If it’s not dangerous then the downside is it just is not effective then let’s go. Without the vaccine, for sure my brother would have been in serious trouble. He checks most of the at risk boxes. Even with the vaccine, a breakthrough case was extremely dangerous. After three days in the hospital he did not require a ventilator and is likely getting out today. I’m glad to see Fauci announce Regeneron is a viable treatment and I hope that Ivermectrin’s clinical trial shows promising results. I just hope that all of the recent headlines have not politicized these treatments if they are indeed effective (and now one of them has been verified as effective).

Well that’s true. I think the ACC and Big 10 would still take some teams. This gentleman’s agreement between the three probably included some agreement not to expand but the moment one conference realizes this alliance is not in their self interests I think that ball will get rolling. I mean, like two days after the announcement USC announces a home and home with LSU. So much for that alliance. But to your point if the Irate 8 really have no other options this is their best and only option.
