Congratulations to Tim Miles, new head coach at San Jose State.
-
Wish him all the best. He's a great guy that I hope has big success somewhere even though it didn't work out here. @NUance it was time for a change. Our record since hasn't been good. But, I think it is headed in the right direction with a good coach.

One year ago today the Covid pandemic started to really hit home for most Americans. Travel bans, school closings, the end of sports... just everything we've known gone in a few days. I got Covid in January and still can't smell, and can barely taste. Otherwise, the year has been boring, but not too awful. Just very different. I hated the football "season" we had, and volleyball in spring seems weird.
How has the past year treated you? Everyone getting through this OK?

Yes we did/do count it as a flu
death if you have the flu and die from complications, but it's complicated because many people don't get ill and seek treatment as soon as they would with COVID so they no longer test positive.

QuoteWhat are seasonal influenza-related deaths?
Seasonal influenza-related deaths are deaths that occur in people for whom influenza infection was likely a contributor to the cause of death, but not necessarily the primary cause of death.
I don't understand the point of this skepticism. You just said it's extremely deadly. COVID causes a number of complications that ultimately lead to death, and comorbidities contribute to the severity of the disease as well. People with COVID can develop a multitude of complications from pneumonia, blood clots, renial issues, heart problems, organ failure, etc. Those all count as COVID deaths.
Let's say the number were exaggerated by 4 times. That's still almost double the average deaths in a normal flu season.

@The Dude wish I would have thrown more in.

Pitchers & Catchers reported today, y'all! Spring is around the corner. It's a good day!

I've never really paid attention to Tom Brady. AFC guy, nothing to do with the NFC North, good but kind of "whatever."
But as a totally disinterested football fan, I have to admit that dude is an all-time legend, and perhaps the best QB in NFL history.
Really hard to argue against that, no matter how you feel about him.

Going on four weeks post Covid. Still can't smell anything. I can taste savory things, salty things & sweet things. But the combinations are still out of whack. My default mouth sense is sweet.
Air is sweet, water is sweet, post-brushing is sweet.
I hate it.

EA Sports is bringing back College Football.

Man. Patrick Mahomes was a terrible college pitcher.

First scoop of the day done. Snow is still pretty light, but there's a lot of it. Cheers to whichever neighbor did my sidewalk with their snowblower!

Ohio State looked good against Clemson, but Alabama is going to be a whole 'nother level.

Have you guys tried durian, the exceedingly stinky SE Asian fruit? I have been told a couple of local markets sell it and I may be game to try.

Brett McMurphy predicting a New Year's Day bowl for Nebraska. Has us playing Boise State.

@TonyStalloni Yes! Thanks for catching that. Edited the status. (I originally put down BYU).
-
Kirk Ferentz has the Covid. Apparently he was coughing like crazy during their Signing Day presser and they had to cut it short.

Purdue parts ways with Bob Diaco. Shocking.

Am I the only one who thinks the ads are way less intrusive now than they used to be?
-
They are better than what they used to be on my phone. However, it might be because for some reason, my phone got switched to the non-mobile site and I can't figure out how to switch it back.
Did they do away with the mobile site all together? I haven't complained about it because the mobile site sucked so bad.

All the status updates are gone. If you're reading this, you're creeping on my profile.
Maybe you should rethink your life choices.

I fixed the quote function, you guys.
YOU'RE WELCOME
-
Well, maybe *I* didn't fix it. Maybe the IT guy @BigRedMax hired did it.
But who really knows? Could have been me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope the entire state of Missouri has PTSD from this end zone deflection.
