  1. refusing the vax and helping to expand the death toll from covid is nothing noble like some people are championing.

  2. That tweet was from last year...smh Why are you posting a tweet that is almost 10 months old?

  3. You're actually claiming that a guy who is 3rd in career Yds/Catches, has 3 of the top ten receiving seasons in Nebraska history in the 3 years he played here is "inherently flawed and unproductive?" That is an incredible stretch. JD was an excellent receiver, the fact that he's had issues at TCU has no bearing on what he was here.

  4. it's no worse than the flu. it's fake news. there are 10 cases...soon to be none. i will believe it's bad when more people die from this than the flu every year. it will all magically disappear the day after the elections if the dems win. don't wear a mask or get the vaccine.

  10. Nebraska - Oklahoma, nothing else comes close in my opinion. I'm 50 years old, and have grey and white hair with a great deal to do with the rivalry game that used to happen the day after Thanksgiving. Wishbone, Blackshirts, Sooner Magic, Bleeding Crimson and the battle of the big reds. Many years, it was make or break of the season. I'm sure many if not all of us, had Dads who would yell at the TV even if they couldn't hear you, trying to will the Cornhuskers to victory. I had a Dad who on the Nebraska Oklahoma game would be decked out in a Husker hat, at least 4 Nebraska shirts, Husker Socks and Husker shoes that were given to him as a gift from his nephew, my cousin who was a Nebraska Cheerleader. The Rivalry...

  12. Maybe 667,500 to 2,500 is so ridiculously obvious that some people need to be shamed for not acknowledging the disparity And those would also happen to be the same people preventing an end to the pandemic. Not sure holier than thou is the right characterization.

  13. Then why did you behave exactly this way to my post? It seems like you were looking to troll me and got caught not doing the math.

  14. I'm ok with honest questions, but a lot of this argument is just asking questions without an honest attempt to understand the answers and instead attempting to sow doubt despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. And I'm also ok with judging people who make ridiculous and/or unfounded statements and calling them idiots or stupid.

  15. Thank you for an informative, and non snarky, reply. Anyone that has been in this thread for a while knows my stance. I am simply sick and tired of the shaming tactics and Holier than Thou angst of those that think no one should...ever...question them.

  16. No, the difference between 99% and 98.4% is pretty significant when we're talking about hundreds of thousands dead. A mortality rate of 1.6% is 60% greater than a mortality rate of 1%. For example, if the 99% was correct, then the 670,000 dead would have instead been 418,750 (math: (670000/(1-.984))*(1-.99)=418750), which is a difference of 251,250. A quarter of a million more lives lost due to that "small" difference.

  17. Why ignore the important numbers? 1 in 8 infected with Covid. Of those, 1 in 61 died. That’s 670,000 dead btw. The point…. Only 1 in 13,402 vaccinated people catch Covid (not 1 in 8). And of those, only 1 in 86,500 vaxxed people died (not 1 in 61). That 98.4% figure is completely irrelevant to any point whatsoever.

  27. He's talking about changes because they went from the 4th ranked scoring defense (13.7 ppg) in his first year to 44th (25.8) in his second, and now they've given up an average of 33 per game this year. It wouldn't stay that high even if they kept the status quo, but it's a downward trend. I think Frost could have made more changes, but he fired the OC which is the change you'd expect for a struggling offense.

  28. turns out George Washington was apparently a democrat. he ordered a vaccine mandate against the wishes of many politicians of the day. is it time for the far right to proclaim him a tyrant for doing that?

  29. Coach Day loses one game - 1st regular season game in 3 years - and he is talking about making changes. Frost has lost 21 games and he is talking: "It's that nothing works better than the status quo" Ryan Day Says There Will Be Defensive Changes at Ohio State (msn.com)

  38. Yeah. I think you're looking at this entirely through the lens of Government vs. Anti-Government. Those are the two silos our current political dialogue provides, and needless to say it's inaccurate on a lot of counts. For the entirety of this pandemic, the government has been able to exert very little control, especially the federal government. Lockdowns were largely localized, and practiced by very different governments around the world because there actually is a pandemic playbook that's been used in pandemics that America has been lucky enough to avoid. In many places around the country the lockdown orders were ignored, with virtually no legal consequence. We quickly became the worst COVID nation in the world. Easy to forget, but the strict lockdowns were over in just a few weeks. For the next year the burden largely fell on private companies, and they weren't taking their marching orders from the government, largely because outside of the hospitality industry there were few or none. They had to figure out an ever-shifting free-market of both employees and consumers. They could not afford to alienate people worried about coming to work or shopping at their business. If you think No Vaccine = No Job is a repression of personal freedom, you need to consider the numerical majority of people who don't want to be FORCED to work or shop in close quarters with people who -- by choice -- are more likely to contract, spread, and prolong a deadly pandemic that is -- in fact -- having serious non-COVID consequences on our healthcare system. There will always be an out for people who don't want the vaccine. Some will have perfectly good reasons. Others will simply have fears, and that's understandable, too. But there are consequences in an unprecedented pandemic, and at the moment the free-market is driving it as much or more than the government. Maybe you should look at it more in terms of Public vs. Private. You can still do anything you want in private. But if you want to go out in public during a public health crisis, your might have to bend to the collective will. If you don't listen to me, listen to the chip your iPhone inserted in your brain. That being said, Pelosi's response was awful. She is currently facing consequences for it.

  39. He's sneaky big! That's the biggest difference between him and Wandale. A 6'3" slot receiver is a lot nicer than a 5'10" slot receiver. This is especially important on passes downfield where Adrian is forced to throw over a LB.

  40. Straw man argument. You can say that you believe a bunch of people were making it about how well he'd do somewhere else. Maybe a sizeable chunk of the fan base was saying that, maybe they weren't. But that isn't the real discussion. The real discussion was, aside from Wan'Dale who on the team was better than JD last year? Answer: Nobody. Thus, losing him for Nebraska was a big deal. What he did or didn't do on another team was never the issue. And what Toure brings as a transfer this year has little to do with Spielman because if we had them both this season it would be better than only having one of them...right?

  41. Sun is back physically, but not mentally. And she's not terminating. As you said, Stivrins isn't back, and may not be back for several more weeks (mid Big Ten schedule). Hames was hurt, and while Evans was a decent fill-in, Cook is rolling with Hames as she recovers from her injury. Orr isn't up to speed after her knee surgery, so she's not a 100% option. Sun was rumored to be moving to the RS, but for some reason that hasn't happened. Cook has chosen to bench her rather than continue to play her on the left. Which is fine - if she can't or won't move, she's not the best LS hitter and she's going to sit. Cook has also been experimenting with his lineup all non-conference. I think we didn't play the same lineup in our first six matches. Last night he played a lot of Freshmen, and they struggled, but that's OK. This year is all about getting the 2021 recruits up to college speed. If they contend for the Big Ten title that's great, but Cook is playing the long game, especially with Stivrins out. These girls will be ready for prime time next year. They're already doing well enough - sweeping a Creighton team that had just swept Kentucky - but there's going to be growing pains as they develop (UNO, Utah & Stanford).

  42. Get the vax, or be fired/quit, @Frott Scost says that's a choice. There's really nothing else to say on the matter at this point, it's pretty sad that people actually believe this and are championing it as something noble.

  44. Tristan Gebbia hasn't seen any action through 2 games at Oregon State. After starting 4 games last year, I'm not sure where he sits on the depth chart this year or if he's been injured. Tyjon Lindsey has 4 receptions for 42 yards, but has only played in 1 of the 2 Beaver games this year, so he might be injured as well. Patrick Obrien left Colorado State for Washington this past offseason, but has not played for the Huskies.
