  1. Hard to have an honest discussion with people who Are going to compare this.... to this..... Rick
  2. There’s not much else you can say when so many allow the dishonest news to frame the narratives instead of thinking for themselves.
  3. Remember when this guy was a household name in college? https://utahstateaggies.com/news/2020/4/23/Jordan_Love_NFL.aspx Rick
  4. QB James Morgan, who led FIU’s historic upset of Miami, heads to Jets in NFL Draft Read more here: https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/conference-usa/florida-international-university/article242030606.html#storylink=cpy
  5. I’m thinking the so called Experts could use more common sense. Like the Experts who scared the hell out of everyone with the 2 1/2 million predicted dead and got nearly every prediction wrong since then? Experts that said “there’s no clear evidence of human to human transmission of Covid-19”? Experts who told us we needed to shut schools down despite the near zero risk to kids? Experts that screamed we don’t have enough ppe & ventilators...never mind, we’re good? Experts that said the antibodies don’t protect against reinfection, then said they do? Experts that said you can’t be in groups larger than 4, 6, 8 or 10. Can’t skateboard, can’t ride a bike, can’t jog, cant buy paint, can’t be in the ocean or on a lake, pray in your car in a parking lot with 20 other cars or be on dry sand. But you can be in the wet sand and purchase bread and boards inside enclosures with a 1,000 other people buying bread and boards and state with a straight face that these decisions were all based on science by the Experts? Experts that can’t seem to define what social distancing is,...is it 6 feet, 18 feet, the next zip code? Experts that ignored over a 100 years of experience that the sun & fresh air helps defend against viruses. Experts that claimed surgical masks and eye protection are mandatory, then just surgical masks, then N95 masks, then homemade masks, then bandannas? Experts that said the goal was to flatten the curve, then changed it to till there’s a vaccine? Experts that said masks work then said masks don’t work? Experts that said we need to stay locked down till there’s a vaccine, then said no we can’t wait till there’s a vaccine? Experts that predicted every state and local entity that didn’t shut down early, or opened too soon was absolutely inviting waves of death,..Liberty for not shutting down, Florida Spring Breakers, Georgia, South Dakota,....run-for-the-hills type of contagion death was headed their way,...didn’t happen. Experts that said the virus can be picked up from inanimate objects, hey guess what, now it can’t? Experts that forced the sick into nursing homes, now admit that was a tragically stupid thing to do? Experts that said the drug HCQ works,...then no it doesn’t and also....it’s dangerous and can lead to death just as long as you can ignore the fact that we are still suggesting it to be taken for those traveling abroad and that it’s even safe for young children and pregnant & nursing mothers? Or the Expert who said “There is nothing from the CDC that I can trust”? I mean...are you kidding me? The Experts have been so all over the place on this thing,.....back & forth, back & forth like Borg vs McEnroe so bad it’s given us whiplash. After everything we’ve seen and heard that’s been wrong or inaccurate why would anyone take what the Experts say at full value without a skeptical eye? . Rick
  6. Good find @Harry I gotta admit it’s hard to hate La Tech sometimes. Rick
  7. I think it’s hilarious how you can’t argue without the virtue moralizing and name calling. You’ve been doing it since you first showed up with anyone you disagree with. Why your allowed to get away with it here is beyond me, ....but sticks & stones. And facilities is what this thread is about....as in outdoor football stadiums in the freaking wind & heat...., not in laboratory settings with intentionally created results. So in looking at your non-outdoor football stadium settings of FACTS.....I’ll pick just one. Let me pick.......this one. ”Airborne or Droplet Precautions for Health Workers Treating Coronavirus Disease 2019 ”Given the presence of SARS-CoV-2 viral loads in both the lower and upper respiratory tract as well as the persistence of the virus in the air 3 hours after aerosolization in laboratory settings, airborne transmission is possible......” ..”there is no agreement on the definition of “droplet” route of transmission.”.... Conclusions This review reveals the limited scientific data to inform spatial separation guidelines and a growing body of evidence that droplet precautions are not appropriate for SARS-CoV-2. Hence, future work on carefully documenting and studying the mechanisms shaping transmission distances are warranted, particularly with experiments over a large number of subjects and a variety of conditions, to update current spatial separation guidelines and the current paradigm of droplet and airborne respiratory transmission routes”..... More possibilities, more guesstimates, more suggestions and guidelines for us to maybe follow, or maybe research more of.........especially if we football fans in a stadium are now to behave like health workers treating sick people indoors? RICK
  8. That’ll work too. Just before they signed off they said possibly Saturday but that the best weather outlook for launch would be Sunday. So that’s why I said maybe Sunday. Rick
  9. We couldn’t have been more proud of you. You had the Okie fans in the stands shitting their britches for 59:53. Rick
  10. “Experts believe,” “Covid-19 spreads mainly” ”Within about 6 feet” These are all guidelines, not proof.. And despite all the guidelines for 3 plus months the spread continued, not showing to slow down until warmer weather and herd immunity set in. Rick
  11. Go ahead and make another pro football league for me not to care about. That will free up even more of my time on Saturday’s in the fall. Rick
  12. I guess I better pay better attention to yours and willie’s sensitivities from now on. Rick
  13. It’s not. Doesn’t mean people won’t try it. Rick
  14. I’m not the one to first mention Trump and you were the first one that brought politics into this thread genius. Why don’t you do yourself a favor and put me on ignore? Rick
  15. I just misquoted a number from a news story and yet still got it more overall accurate than you did. Edit: In fact, I was correct after all. I knew I had seen 1500 somewhere...from the original Washington Examiner article I linked to: ...”While some other schools locked the doors to dorms after spring break and as the pandemic spread, Falwell said he let 1,500 students return to dorms under strict rules of social distancing. Most returned because they had elderly parents at home they wanted to keep safe, or they didn’t have internet, or they were international students’... Rick
  16. Antonio Gandy-Golden....(Went 5-51 and no TD’s against the Mean Green in 2018). “Redskins draft pick from Liberty says he had coronavirus” https://www.bing.com/amp/s/amp.usatoday.com/amp/5228876002 ..”"During my pre-draft training, I tested positive for COVID-19 on March 24," Gandy-Golden said in a statement. "My symptoms thankfully were mild, but I self-quarantined for two weeks and followed all guidelines from health experts. I was fully cleared April 7. I feel 100% now and can’t wait to get on the field for the Redskins ASAP! #HTTR!!" Rick
  17. Those political panties are wadded up so tight you just can’t read fast enough. ...”At least one student who returned to Liberty University“... Returned means he was off campus. In fact, if memory serves he was training for a shot in the NFL when he tested positive. And yes, I missed the 1100 students, not 1500. You got me🙄. Heres one from Sunday. https://m.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/may/24/liberal-media-taking-liberties-with-jerry-falwell-/ ...”Liberty University, which the media predicted would be Ground Zero for a deadly outbreak of coronavirus, has not reported a single on-campus case. Not one. .....On March 30, The Washington Post ran an editorial, “Irresponsible decisions like Jerry Falwell Jr.’s put untold numbers of people at risk.” The Post cited The New York Times’ contention that about a dozen Liberty students “were sick with symptoms that suggested COVID-19.” It turns out that the students had common colds or the flu or something other than COVID-19. Only one student tested positive, and he was living off-campus. Several other universities, such as Rutgers, Pepperdine, Valencia and Texas A&M, introduced similar policies, but only Liberty was singled out for a press whipping”... Rick
  18. 1500 students remained on campus and not one got Cov-19. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/washington-secrets/liberty-university-wrongly-declared-a-virus-disaster-now-the-model-to-follow-falwell
  19. It sure is but doesn’t prove masks and 6 feet of distance make it more safe from Cov-19 for me to watch a football game outside. Rick
  20. Novil. For his size he’s extremely athletic. He plays a tough position that rarely gets any credit,...and now and then gets credit for it anyways. I list him as our best shot to be the next Mean Green player to play at the next level. Rick
  21. Because both have proven separately as well as combine to save lives and prevent injury for going on 135 years now(seat belts)? Rick
