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

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

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.

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.

if you read what you linked you would know that you owned yourself.

Pellini squared. He’s a royal tool. I think he is a good coach but not the face for this program.

I doubt we get Toure if Wandale is here. I’m happy with the “trade so far”

Well, some might argue that we’re the best football team in Nebraska, so maybe there’s a chance………………..

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...

Damn, OU loses one game and Day is already saying guys know the expectations and doesn't say DC is safe. We are in year 4 with the same sh!t........

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The reply tweet completely ignores the larger point she's making, just like you're doing.

What? You said vaccinated people spread it just like unvaccinated. That is what the discussion was. What are you even talking about now? BTW....from your own link.

CDC LINK COVID-19 transmission among the fully vaccinated is rare, but possible, experts say. Here's why. Study ties COVID vaccines to lower transmission rates

Govern me harder Daddy

Its pretty sad that people are unvaccinated in general. I feel bad for anyone who is that stupid.

One name to throw out is Greg Schiano

But, yet we aren't supposed to believe that he disrespected veterans.

It was inferred, and Frott already made that accusation previously

Yes, I did forget that Frost did fire the previous OC. Maybe because the OCs have been in title only wt Frost still calling the plays, etc.

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.

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?

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)

Some of us never understood how Trump made it past mocking POW John McCain for getting captured. That one is on camera at a campaign event in 2015, and Trump only doubled-down from there. .

I look forward to that day. It will be a great day in history. Just like when the polio vaccine was made mandatory. And now polio is no longer an issue.

@DevoHusker you and I were pretty much correct. The person in tweet was referencing all Americans whereas in eligible Americans 63% are fully vaccinated and 74% have at least one dose.

her larger point is what’s important, but also want to point out that miss good at numbers is wrong on her death rate from Covid too. She needs to understand CFR and the more true IFR If she’s gonna do the tik toc thing, at least have the best data in front of you to explain to your audience. Probably only matters to me but I’m a numbers guy and it’s annoying to me when people use the wrong data or don’t actually understand the data they are using.

If you prefer percentages, try these. 670,000 dead 2,000 to 2,500 fully vaccinated died. Using the higher 2500 number that is: 99.62% of all deaths are from the non-vaxxed population. 0.38% of all deaths from the fully vaxxed group. You would really have to struggle (and be not very f#&%ing good with numbers) to not get the point.

Well speaking of strawmen. You insinuated the vaccinated spread covid, at the same rate as the unvaccinated. That's false. Then you come back with the "small percentage of those getting the vaccination have an adverse reaction, screw them" take. How are these even connected?

That one was a hard pill to swallow. UP 17 - 0. We had a good lead on them and came out flat after half time. Should have won that championship game as well as the the previouis one against Texas the year before. Would've been a nice way to leave the Big 12 We were ranked # 13 going into that game - when we were still relevant - great D. Crick, David, Prince, Haag, on D. Helu, Burkhead, TM, on offense & Alex Henery kicker. Really our last really good team

Yep, the is exactly the same situation. Obviously Day didn't know anything about this until now.

I keep trying to find a way to victory and can't. Where do we have an advantage? Trenches? Playcalling? Skill players? Special teams? Disciplined play? I got nothing. I guess win the turnover battle in ridiculous fashion (5-0) and play a clean game?

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.

Again - what he went on to do or not do at another program cannot necessarily be reverse engineered into what he would or wouldn't have done for the 'skers in 2020.

Caleb Lightbourn is now at Idaho where he averaged 50 yards a punt against Indiana - but had one blocked and gave up a TD on another one.

It's disappointing that Luke wasn't open to a position change, because there is nothing wrong with having that type of athlete on the roster/field. Being a slot receiver who could do multiple things within an offense is where Luke would have the best success on the football field.

Do you have this much passion about schools requiring students to be vaccinated for measles to be able to attend? Their only choice is to get vaccinated or home school. Do you have the same passion about personal choice like abortion? It's someone's personal choice to get an abortion. How is the government requiring the woman to carry a baby she doesn't want championing something noble?

it probably matters to culp....call it good and it gives him a small shot of much needed confidence right now

They…can…quit…. That is a choice they can make if they dont want the vaccine. Its okay, I wouldnt want to out myself as an anti-vaxxer in the middle of a pandemic either. It reflects poorly on those who dont understand science.

I don't get the thought that Martinez does "stupid stuff". If anything, many of his turnovers are trying to do "too much" because so much of the offense relies on him. Yeah, he has fumbled a lot in his career, but IMO those are more physical mistakes, not mental mistakes.

This is the hill you’re defending right now? Whether a guy who has said the most insensitive things regarding damn near every subject he’s ever broached uttered these particular words…based upon a group of people you choose to believe vs a group of people who must be lying? Personally, i think Trump being Trump became a non story years ago, so I don’t really care. Just surprised this is the story you had locked and loaded to blow the lid off the Atlantic’s credibility.

Have some great memories and terrible heartbreak when it comes to the Oklahoma rivalry. I know it's been labeled as a "respectful rivalry" in the past 15-20 years, but I freaking hated Oklahoma when I was a kid. If you have a subscription to The Athletic, Mitch Sherman and an OU beat writer are doing daily stories about big games and events of past NU-OU games. They have been pretty cool to read so far. Finally, there was a great segment on 1620 the Zone yesterday. Jack Mitchell and John Bishop nailed my thoughts on Oklahoma when I was a kid. Here is the video. It's a good 30 minute segment to watch/listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeSEDfcV9pc&t=2s
