Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

You mean I can’t take regular size shampoo into games now?

Also turn off cell phones until after kickoff

 

[scvolfan7]

The response to covid is just another thing that shows that this country/culture has no balls. Let the damn thing run it’s course so we can build herd immunity and move on. That’s what life done with diseases for billions of years. This isn’t even that bad of a bug! Just pathetic how stupid and scared people are now

2020 is stupid

Doctor on campus reopening task force makes prediction for fans in Neyland Stadium this fall

If no fans, we should have Alabama and Florida come back in 2021. And flip the SEC schedule.

 

[Devo182]

No Spring practice feels like a sneaky little win for us.

Whoever starts for OU, it will be their first ever FBS start.

UGA's transfer will have no time to mesh with the offense and build chemistry with WRs.

Bama's 5* FR QB won't have those chances either and it could default to Mac Jones starting. I'm fine with that.

We will at least have chemistry and experience among JG, Maurer, Shrout and WRs Palmer, Johnson, Keyton, and Tillman.

Advantage: UT

I'm curious if the schedule will be reworked to cut down on travel like baseball is apparently going to do. Teams could end up just playing conference games
I think the season will be played, but it is a real possibility there will be no fans. La Liga and other European soccer leagues have already announced there will be no fans in the stands till 2021 even if they return in the fall.

I think our response was the right one and the standard one most followed. The goal was to flatten the curve and gain more data. Goal very well accomplished. We crushed the curve. Time to roll the dice a little, incrementally, and see what happens. If it gets nuts, then we already know a response that works and everyone already understands what to do. Jmo

back to normal in 2 years? STFU

These people are idiots

It will never be COMPLETELY back to normal. Like 911 things have changed forever

Maybe for the good.

Your are jumping to conclusions. Had he continued to run he might be alive. Had they not been stupid and chased him cowboy style the whole series of events would have never happened. They are responsible for their actions, but those actions don't equal murder IMO. I'd say manslaughter. They didn't go into this with the intent to kill him, imo, but they were very stupid and irresponsible in their actions and have to answer for that.

I'm not defending the actions of anyone here. Just pointing out that the deceased bears some responsibility here as well. Had he been running away when shot this would absolutely be murder.

What if that was your kid

Have you seen Jack of All Trades on Netflix? Really good and gets deep into all this.

My uncle had Mantles and all other sorts of cards that my grandma threw out when he went to college. I couldn't believe it and kept all my cards for decades, thinking it was some investment as a kid. It sucks now, but I guess it was only yard mowing and allowance money too. What else was I going to do with it? Invest in Apple?

Haven’t seen that but just added it to my list. Looking forward to it. Thanks for mentioning.

Bug has been going since November. I think the curve flattened on its own. It’s not like we were actually quarantined. People were constantly out and about at stores. Plus there will definitely be a second, third, fourth, etc spike until there’s a vaccine

 

[Paper_Towel]

These get overlooked but Mud, The Lincoln Lawyer, and Fraility are great movies

In an astonishing undeniably miraculous development, Tennessee department of Public Health has acquired the ability to bring people back to life. It's amazing and I believe.

Public activity was significantly down. The reason you know why is when insurance companies are refunding millions (billions altogether) on premiums because travel was down. Yes, the very same companies that love to take your premiums and to deny your claims. When they give money back, then things changed.

When you control for when infections started, when quarantines started, and severity of quarantine measures, there is no statistical support for those measures having worked.

I've seen the Lincoln Lawyer way too many times. His character is a boss.

 

[Devo182]

Given some lag time (a few weeks) and most states shutting down mid-late March, it looks pretty dang clear to me:



But no more COVID posts for me. I'm honestly tired of the whole discussion. Need moar booms.

Yeah the whole thing is BS and the long term economic implications of all of this are going to be disastrous. Austerity measures are going to wreak havoc in a year or two when tax revenue is down and cuts have to be made

Yep

 

[Vols All Day]

If I were younger, this would bother me. After all I've been through health-wise, I'm perfectly okay sitting at home watching the games.

Sucks for everyone else though.

I'm young and it doesn't bother me. The players health and potentially having a full season is more important than having butts in the stands.

Bringing them back isn’t hard. Getting them to vote is a bit tricky.
