Same thing happened in 2018. Same s#!t, different year. It's no conspiracy to suggest Republicans pull this stuff in lots of different states because they control so many of them right now. Far as I know Dems might pull the same stuff in Maryland or New York or Calorifonia. If you can find evidence of it, great, I'd commend you. But I can dig up a lot more evidence of the GOP pulling this crap in a lot more places rihgt now and that suggests it's a very lopsided problem.

It isn't brain surgery and it's not supposed to be a cash cow. I'll have a couple of my friends look into creating a new site for HuskerBoard followers.

If they (university presidents) were smart and honest with themselves, they would look at the model and say "no way we can pull this off." The potential lawsuits, media scrutiny, player revolts, and other things will simply be too much pressure to even have one game only to find out that there is an outbreak. Remember what I told you all only to have the Hilltops of the world say I was being over-dramatic? It will only take ONE covid case for it to all collapse. The media outrage machine (and yes I know I keep saying this but you cannot deny it) will go into hyperdrive when kickoff becomes imminent. Right now, they are just waiting to see what the decision will be and the cancel culture will come out of the woodwork en masse. The report from the Washington Post is going to have a major impact on the perception of college football and could very well be "the straw that finally broke college football's back." The release of those transcripts cannot be spun any other way and no matter how hard the SEC tries, they will look foolish trying to spin it differently. Remember, college football hitched its wagon to the motto of "student-athlete health and safety is paramount." Deviating one angstrom from that motto when practice, in full pads, with contact, with groups of players congregating together at a practice and the college football Humpty Dumpty comes crashing down and there will be no way to put that back together; no amount of prayer, wishful thinking, alternate scenarios, alternate universe thinking and hope for a magic vaccine to come riding in like some formula that Spock puts together and makes Captain Kirk like a real hero.

If anyone is paying attention to MLB, it's a blueprint for the kind of cluster**** college football is going to be: there will be a start to the season, a few games will get played, and numerous players and teams will have to be shut down because of viral spread.

14 years the original owners ran this site with no ad problems.

EDIT: Not so fast my friend. https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2020/6/29/21306134/college-athletes-football-season-sports-return-covid-deaths The pundits cry: “But they’re young!” No way young folks, especially ones in as great shape as athletes, would be vulnerable to COVID-19’s most destructive outcomes! Tell that to Cody Lyster’s parents: Lyster was a 21-year-old college athlete who, in early April, became the youngest person to die from COVID-19. His parents were also infected, and have recovered. Lyster was a baseball player at Colorado Mesa University with no pre-existing health conditions, but COVID-19 killed him in less than two weeks from contraction. But it is called clinical reasoning based on the best available data given the contagion's distinct affinity for internal organs and its affect on said internal organ physiology and the body's response to such. But then if there is no chance, as you say, because there has not been a severe case based on your clinical criteria, why were the workouts at Rutgers, Kansas State, Ohio St and others, put on pause? Can you tell me what your phone call would be to the parents of a student-athlete under your guidance would consist of? Lifelong Lung Damage: The Serious COVID-19 Complication That Can Hit People in Their 20s https://www.healthline.com/health-news/lifelong-lung-damage-the-serious-covid-19-complication-that-can-hit-people-in-their-20s Most recently, a 20-year-old COVID-19 survivor in Chicago was the recipient of a new set of lungs, due to a lung transplant that was necessary to treat a condition now being called post-COVID fibrosis. Since we do not have this data, another hypothetical is this one (and I would like your expert medical opinion on this), what if a student-athlete contracts the virus but passes it on to someone else, who could pass it on to another person, who may end up in your "severe" category who fits in your age criteria? You know it is going to be virtually impossible to "bubble" the team and the entire athletic staff and support personnel. But if we use your criteria of those who are over 35 stand a much higher chance of having severe reactions to this contagion, this would logically mean that coaches should NOT be coaching as a very strong majority of the coaches on the Husker staff are over the age of 35. Can we have the players suit and play without a coach? But I guess you could counter that with PPE of the coaches and periodic testing but how do you account for this aspect of your argument? Not necessarily; there is the liability issue that is predominant. Because you have failed to account for my earlier questions of why were the workouts at Rutgers, Kansas State, Ohio St and others, put on pause?" Can you please answer this fundamental question? But you leave out important factors and many variables to contend with and it cannot be based on "there are no severe cases as of yet impacting college aged students." I am surprised that you have not been called upon by the University of Nebraska's Athletic Medicine staff and been allowed to present this valuable, yet important data point, given your strong background in epidemiology, clinical medicine and infectious disease knowledge. You obviously have important medical data and a perfectly sound medical hypothesis based on zero cases of severe illness based on your severe case medical criteria. Can you explain why this one data point that you have has not been considered and that you have not been called upon to present this? I am sure you can put together a powerpoint lecture of two or three slides and that would convince all and leave no doubt as to your medically-backed opinion. Oh heck, just one slide will be sufficient and the medical experts can look at each other in pure astonishment and go "well, golly gee. We never thought of that. Shazam!!! What are we waiting for? Let's play!!!" And then we can fans who are college aged students in the stands because they are not likely to die and we can have the band in there as they are college aged students and Bill Moos can cut a deal with all the other University of Nebraska system colleges and they can busload all those other college students to fill the stadium because your data point is quite compelling. If you are under age 22, come on in and cheer on the Huskers. But to make sure we have your clinical criteria accurate: Severe=hospitalization and ventilator status; Moderate = not yet classified by you; Mild = not yet classified by you. You have also failed to answer this question: what will you do if one student-athlete develops a, let's say moderate, since you say "severe" is hospitalization and needing oxygen supplementation via a ventilator, and this student-athlete develops myocarditis? And what will be your response if in the event of a covid-related death of a student-athlete?

3x the improvement!

tik tok users are getting their revenge on trump. read the thread

Found this interesting... Except ya kinda are... You clean and sanitize shoes, bathrooms, kitchens,, etc. Prepare food to a certain standard. And if somebody drinks too much you're liable... Just follow the damn rules and get a loan if you need it (I know it's not that simple). It sucks that buisnesses are hurting, but we have to get this thing figured out. The government could have done more if they wanted to...

Yep. And to be honest, I’m more pissed at them than I am at Max. They had an example and knew what the blueprint for a Max takeover would be. The handshake agreement to keep it a “free” board is just an excuse that let somebody sleep better at night. Maybe they should’ve been just as concerned about not turning the whole HB experience into an abomination. It wouldn’t have been a very tall task to find a person or group of investors who could’ve kept it going as it was....and it still wouldn’t be except that now someone wants to milk every possible nickel they can out of it, with nary a concern about providing a good experience for Husker fans. We the users are no more than an avenue to revenue. Free board indeed.

I think this is going to be a lasting long term affect of the pandemic and I don’t think it’s bad. I have relatives that live in big cities that always said they loved it and never wanted to move. Now they want to move to a smaller community because their jobs allow them to live anywhere.

Not one of the kids that I have seen/spoke with, that just graduated and are heading off to college have even remotely hinted that they are going to socially distance or wear masks. If anything it has been the opposite. They talk about meeting new people and hanging out with new friends.

Committed to Auburn. Another flat out miss from the KC area with the staff & Tuioti.

Republicans know that universal voting access will end their party and they will do anything to suppress it. Trump knows he stands zero chance and will do anything to disregard it. This is a perfect marriage.

I'm submitting my mail in ballot for my Minnesota primary. Here are the precautions I immediately recognize: It was sent directly to me as a registered voter. My wife, who is not yet registered, did not receive a ballot. The ballot has a barcode specific to me. You must write in your driver's license or social security number. You must sign the form, which can be cross-referenced with what the state has on file from your voter registration. You must have a witness sign and provide their address. I mean, who doesn't have their mail stolen all the time by people who have already stolen your identity? And also have a witness sign off that can be researched?

Jim Jordan is a complete douche bag. Just had to get that out. Now I feel better.

And lets say doctors also make a breakthrough and find that COVID 19 is caused by demon sperm spreading through rampant sex with demons. Will you reconsider having or not having demon sex with this new information coming to light?

Hahaha, yeah we know.

Do you know why they call C19 a "novel" coronavirus? It's because while it's similar, it's not the same (or same enough) to be treated wholly like other strains. So whether this study in 2005 showed that HCQ was effective on whatever strain(s) they were testing on at the time, it wouldn't show anything vis-a-vis this new virus. What makes me most curious is that a certain segment of the populace is really, really interested in HCQ being a cure for THIS flavor of coronavirus. It's a similar but flipped question for Remdesivir, as @DevoHusker is talking about above. It's possibly effective, studies have yet to show effectiveness, but while Remdesivir and HCQ have possibly the same efficacy in treating this virus (or not treating it), yet Trump sympathists and supporters don't push Remdesivir at all like they push hydroxychloroquine. That's the politicization of this epidemic that everyone hates so much. And yet another curious thing - why does any Trump person care what Fauci said or didn't say at this point? I thought Trump was actively trying to discredit the man because Trump's jealous that Fauci is being listened to more than him. But here we are, asking whether this 2005 study from Fauci's organization shows that Fauci tacitly endorsed HCQ as a remedy. But anyway. About that study.

Said earlier in a deleted tweet that he would be focusing on the schools he posted the officials offers of.

Nate Gerry?

Me too. I was 10 and watched the debates with my mom and I didn't know what the word smarmy meant but I knew Clinton was the most smarmy/fake person I'd ever seen. Cheating and possibly pedophilia didn't enter my mind of course, I just knew I didn't like the guy and I never have grown to like him. That said at least his personal s#!t didn't get in the way of being a decent president. Trump's personal s#!t seems to be in every single decision he makes. Case in point he is shutting down TikTok. There may be good reasons to shut down TikTok. I've done a little reading on it. But I'm 95% sure he's doing it solely because TikTok users led the charge in asking for tickets to his Oklahoma campaign rally.

This will end well...

Does anybody have a good recommendation for a Huskercentric message board? I’m aware of Huskerboard and Huskermax, just wondering if there are any user friendly boards out there.

Thoughts and prayers, with a moment of silence at the next game. Because I doubt those like Hilltop would be willing to give up football even if a player died from COVID. Precisely. They will then argue that the statistics were so low that this has to be an outlier and say it was "one of those 1 in a million chances", and hope like hell that the wrongful death suit brought by the parents will not impact the athletic department.

neither he nor donald understand that.

Yea but how does evicting people right now help anything? Are there gonna be people lining up to pay a security deposit and full rent for all the properties evicted? Empty units don't pay either.

Are you in any way skeptical about the veracity of this article in this tiny little paper? Who wrote this? It provides no real information. It's in the Opinion section. It just says this guy's name, claims he's found the miracle cure just by testing, and the bulk of the article is a letter to Trump. But... It's pretty weird that he writes a letter to Trump asking Trump to approve a cocktail of drugs including hydroxychloroquine, as if he wouldn't know that Trump has been pushing this drug for months. Is the claim that he independently stumbled on HCQ as a cure, and without knowing anything about the national discussion surrounding this drug, advocated for its use? And this is a novel virus, meaning there are no known cures. So why is he so very quickly prescribing this cocktail of drugs to people without having any knowledge of how it'll react? That's not sound medical practice. This is super sketchy. And it flies in the face of findings by the FDA. Are we presuming this local doctor has more resources than the FDA? This article was written two weeks ago amidst a pandemic that has killed 10,000 Americans since it was published. If this really is a cure, why haven't other doctors started using it? Why haven't other news sources picked up this story? And the Houston doctor you're referring to is the demon sex doctor.

All of this info is available agreed! Its better to never know sometimes

None. At this point it's becoming bizarre that you're so insistent this drug HAS TO BE a cure.

It has nothing to do with politics. You don’t start prescribing a drug to people in mass who aren’t already in serious condition before you have tested it. If you then find out it works and the positives outweigh the negatives you start prescribing it. Trump is not a scientist. He’s dumber than your average layman. Going off of his recommendation for treatment or any other politician’s before testing the treatment on smaller groups would be moronic. You’re definitely not the one with a level head if you think we should try it now before adequate testing on smaller groups has been done. I’m in favor of them trying to speed along trials but not testing it would be asinine.

If it's on Facebook, it's gotta be true.

Great theme song.

I also don't think they finish 3rd, but I can forgive the voters for not buying us (13-23 over the last 3 years, 9-15 under Frost), Purdue (17-21 over the last 3 (all Brohm), or NW (3-9 last year with one of the worst offense I have ever seen). The first place vote to NW in the west is actually less weird to me than the first place vote to Penn State. Sure they'll be good, but nobody actually believes they're the best in the East right? That person is just throwing it out there in case OSU randomly collapses and they can claim they knew it was coming. If that doesn't happen, nobody is following up on the one guy who didn't vote OSU in the preseason.

Sound familiar?

Would this be the doctor in the video that you are referring to?

How is banning rally’s delaying a campaign? It affects both candidates and they both have other options to reach voters. Or, are you trying to help trump set the stage for delaying/canceling the election because he’s failing so bad?

If you don't think Trump suggesting tampering with our election is serious, this is an example of the kind of rationalization many of his supporters will gravitate to now that he's suggested it. Do not underestimate the willingness of Republicans to monkey around with our democratic processes if they think it will help them. In 2018 Georgia Governor Brian Kemp was merely the guy in charge of administering an election he was a candidate in. He oversaw massive voter purges of massively disproportionate minority voters when his opponent was Black. He also oversaw closures of polling places, again in disproportionately minority communities. He also blatantly lied by accusing the GA Democratic Party of hacking the state registration website TWO DAYS before the general election. It was later discovered there was zero evidence to support his claim. But he won the election by a very narrow margin (1.5%) so one could call his tactics successful, I guess? Arizona Governor Doug Ducey has had no problem closing lots of polling places in Arizona, again in very disproportionately urban and minority areas. Anybody who's watched any election coverage the past couple years should remember the ridiculously long lines in cities like Phoenix and stories of people waiting 6+ hours in line to vote. Trumpers can claim this is all a joke or Trump raises a good point or whatever, but there's some kernel of truth in the vast majority of stuff that's said even jokingly. And anyone who thinks these clowns have any reservation at all about trying to rig the game if they think it will help them isn't paying attention.

"He is a smaller Dline guy at 6’6+ 340"

I have seen an improvement already in our S&C results with how our guys look, and what we look like at the line of scrimmage. First year of Frost we were still getting pushed around pretty bad by Iowa and Wisconsin. Last year we were much improved (except for tOSU game). The results should start to really show this year. The problem with the seeing the improvement in some of the upperclassmen is some do not have the frames to put that kind of weight on. Boe Wilson, Hixson, and guys like the Davis twins have shorter frames. The rest of the guys we are wanting to see blossom are underclassmen, and they will take time. Especially guys in the trenches. Patience... I trust that guys like Benhart and Robinson will have a different look to them this year.
