  1. I see you're not the only one who scored on your mom. I've sent this to all my coworkers this morning.

  5. Let's not rewrite history, shall we? Flynn lied about acting as a foreign agent while not working for the US government. He was conducting foreign relations for the Trump team before 2017, and that is illegal. Flynn did not need to lie about that, but chose to, admitted to lying, and was appropriately sentenced.

  6. How is it VERY dangerous to state a fact about impacts by age class openly admitted by all involved? Getting away from the news and enjoying some sunshine and fresh air is also widely recommended and one of the most healthy things any of us can do right now.

  11. I'm assuming you are referring to Flynn and his charges for lying to the FBI. What part of Flynn's false testimony isn't relevant to what the FBI was questioning him about? A perjury trap is usually acceptable so long as the subject is being questioned about a relevant topic. If it wasn't acceptable practice, it would by default, condone perjury. That's why "Pleading the 5th" is a protected right. He didn't need to lie, he chose to, then admitted to doing it when he plead guilty to it.

  12. Oxford Vaccine could be a game changer. I believe by end of June they should have results from human trials - possible ready for mass production by fall. Definitely the most promising of the vaccine possibilities.

  13. Personally, part of me is hoping there won't be a season as that would indicate a considerable effort in self discipline and safety. Safety both of the athletes, students and fans. In this scenario nobody can say greed was the driving force to reopen early. The fan side of me is greedy though.

  14. Just having a kicker that can put KO’s in the end zone will help. Those KO returns for TD’s absolutely drained the momentum against Iowa and Wisconsin

  16. Dug up a few tidbits on Connor Culp. He was LSU’s guy in 2017 but was behind 2nd team all American Cole Tracy in 18/19. 2017 20 of 23 extra points 11 of 16 field goals, 47 yard long Composite 3*, #9 in country by 247 & #4 by Scout In high school, 63 of 67 kickoffs for touchback. Sounds like an upgrade for the Huskers. Toss in the Aussie and our kicking game may not be an embarrassment.

  23. It's clear that Frost doesn't want to overlook the kicking issues which occurred in 2019. I didn't place too much blame on Frost and the staff for last year's issues. I don't think anyone could anticipate the injuries and issues which occurred. He just doesn't want to have the kicking game being significant cause for losses.

  33. Vaccine is not reasonably expected for anywhere between 8 months (slim chances) to three years (65% chances optimistically). Therefore a vaccine solution is NOT a part of the considerations for either having fall/winter ‘20-‘21 college sports or a major economic restart nationally. From this the discussion becomes real testing of random samplings of the general populations scattered across the country. We have heard of small studies with questioned validity bases showing the incidence of the virus at ranges of 10 to 60 times the reported case numbers. This is the critical data that will enable the decision makers to assess rationally the true risk of future social activities. If the true incidence is somewhere in the lower-middle of that range, then the mortality rate is perhaps 1/25th of the numbers being used widely. I.e. we likely have 30 million cases with 85,000 “deaths” attributed to the virus. Of those deaths, a large majority are known to be older patients with other serious health issues making death much more possible. IF the forgoing is reasonably close, then the COVID 19 illness is NOT problematic / risky enough (comparable to common flu & pneumonia rates) to justify the disastrous economic & societal shutdowns. The monetary costs are in the trillions and trillions already with no end in sight. The non financial costs in mental and other health related impacts to everyone around the country are also astronomical. The long term negatives may be the permanent loss of many millions of jobs, many thousands of businesses and a generation or more of life savings and work product and family structures etc. Financially alone 5 trillion $ spent to save even 100,000 lives = $50 million spent per life saved. And it is very debatable that we actually saved that many lives in fact nor that 5 trillion is high enough. At some point a cost / benefit analysis must be done. If we continue shutdowns beyond July 1, the losses and costs will mushroom out of control if not there already. This, in my view, is what the discussion must be about.

  35. The thing is, they can't just give donated funds to the university. If someone donates a million dollars for football facilities, and the uni turns around and gives that money to the library system or something instead, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

  40. We don't have a leftist party in this country. Not even close. There are tiny enclaves of American Socialists and American Communists who run tiny newspapers and unknown candidates. The type of Democratic Socialism you hear from the likes of Sanders and AOC is often very popular -- some would say "populist" -- when presented to Americans on an issue by issue basis. Because it's populist, there is most definitely a class warfare angle. That scares some of the same people, and it gets hugely amplified by wealthy people who believe in their own brand of wealth distribution. They've done a great job of demonizing anything left of center, which is currently pretty far to the right. The Democratic Party plays in many of the same wealthy circles, and they demonize their own populists. Donald Trump ain't a leftist, that's for sure, but he became President by playing to class resentment.
