you know, there's obviously not a whole lot going on football wise these days...but unless it's all just smoke up the you know what, it sounds like TN is doing some really good things on the recruiting trail. seems like the bones of htis class are starting to form, and at least based on what's being reported, we have some general idea of what the board kinda looks like at this point.

as if this year couldn't be any weirder, i'm sure the recruiting calendar and season will get weirder, who knows what will happen if there is or is not an ESD, how visits will go, or when they'll happen....so im expecting this recruiting class to be a big time roller coaster before it's all said and done......

but, i do like some of the stuff that i'm reading about....seems like they're doing good work despite the circumstance.

Don’t tell that to the negavols. This staff is a disappointment, whiffing on every high level prospect even though we’ve not won 10 games in over a decade, they can’t recruit their way out of a wet paper bag, and their game management skills are high school level. 🙄 I could tag like 9 people on that post alone. I feel the same way you do, though. I really feel like they’re hitting their stride & building momentum. If we at least have an 8 win season and maybe a bowl win to add #9, we could reap the benefits next recruiting cycle and possibly snag a top 5 class, that would put us right back in the mix with Florida & Georgia. Two back to back top 10 classes then you sprinkle in a top 5? That’s just gravy on the biscuits, boys.

Apologies. I didn't know I was "harping" on that.

I do feel a little defensive about people downplaying the possible deaths. Viruses are complicated. If they do organ damage, you can have a cardiac arrest that was caused by the virus. I don't know if that's happening, but there are articles with doctors and experts talking about all kinds of complications. Really, autopsies are needed to determine that kind of stuff, and understandably that doesn't seem to be a priority in hard hit areas.

But I do agree. We don't know the true mortality rate. For one, we are usually calculating it against active cases. Some number of those active cases will also result in death. There are some number of deaths in New York that are likely Covid related, and they aren't being counted. Those things would raise the number.

To your point, yes, there are a whole lot of people in this country that have it or have had it that aren't getting tested. That would obviously drop the mortality. That would also drop the hospitalization rate. That's good for everyone. Where that number sits is anyone's guess at this point. I don't have a good feel for guessing that, but South Korea is probably closer than the rest of the countries. If it's a really high number, that's going to help us on the other side of this first curve since more people should have an immunity for some time after.

But the transmission rate, as you have also said, is high. Too many cases too fast are going to complicate our ability to respond to those that do require hospitalization, and that number is much higher than the mortality rate. That's why I urge caution with thinking it's overblown.

I think the real number is closer to 1% than anyone wants to admit. Maybe higher. The arguments that talk about there being more cases than we know, hence, lower mortality, are also missing the fact that deaths lag cases by a good while, weeks in some cases. That means that current deaths vs current cases isn't the real number, it's current deaths vs cases from a week or two ago. I focus on S. Korea specifically because they aren't showing many new cases now, which allows us a better picture of the real relationship between deaths and cases.

Figured it was about as accurate as any other number being thrown out these days. Bottom line..."stay at home" sucks and I don't like it! I may end up killing my wife and kids over it.

If however, a couple of more weeks of it helps...I'll stay at home.

Doesn't mean i want to hear or read about it every day though. Especially on here. I personally would rather have one of our idiotic talks about whatever idiotic subject we come up with on any particular day.

If you do kill them, please don't use a noose.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That, to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

That, whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

The Declaration of Independence


Benjamin Franklin was addressing ALL situations when he warned of the loss of essential liberties. Do you not see this is precisely a scenario to which he was referring? Government should never be able to dismiss our God-given rights. Our government is supposed to be the protector of our unalienable rights. It appears that certain government entities have become destructive of these ends. Their cure is a hundred times worse than their fake pandemic which is no more serious than the seasonal flu.

For serious study, you should research the eugenics movement begun by Margaret Sanger in the 1920s and the financial support given by the Rockefeller Foundation, Bill Gates, Ted Turner, and other elites. Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh is quoted as saying, “If I were reincarnated I would wish to be returned to earth as a killer virus to lower human population levels." Many of these people embrace mandatory vaccinations and implantation of digital chips for all of humankind. Look into the ID2020 Alliance. The ID2020 Alliance is a digital identity program that aims to "leverage immunization" as a means of inserting tiny microchips into people's bodies.

The mark of the beast from Revelation 13 could be upon us now. You may not believe that this is happening; many people do not. But your understanding and acceptance of this will not make it any less real.

I did the Gettysburg tour many years ago and what I remembered most was one thing the tour guide said about the 1st day of the battle. He said that one of the Confederate regiments showed up about 15 minutes too late to establish higher ground vs the Union troops. Higher ground is what won the Gettysburg battle for the union troops.
