Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[franklinpence]

adding onto the Pitt research this morning, looks like all of their starters on their OL are returning




again, for those not in the know, "run it back" means "do it again"


edit: sorry missed the @johnfnkelly post

You mean they’re all gay? - devo probably

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Lmfao, Schiano and Rutgers declined.

You can put a team on the field, practice or not. That bowl $ would've really helped Rutgers' AD.

Eventually, after many more years of gnashing teeth, the ultimate Covid policy will be developed. For athletes and the average worker alike. I call it...

"If you don't feel good, stay home"

Such a policy could be so revolutionary, it's development may even be worth the last two years of misery.

Such revolutionary thinking. I’m not sure we’re ready for it!

 

[Adam2014]

Exactly.

It's crazy to me that we're still treating this as if it's 2020. Yes, 2020 was rough. Had several friends I knew that died or suffered through and slowly recovered. But it's not 2020 anymore. In December 2021, we have vaccines, treatments, and now effective, approved antiviral pills. People have had time to accept their own level of risk and prepare accordingly. Most of us have moved on. At some point we all have to accept that it's now an endemic illness and begin treating it as such.

What event is that tornado from in your profile picture?

 

[franklinpence]

Seems to be the general consensus about me.

Nah. We aren’t particularly fond of you no matter what you say.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Throw Momma from the Train. . .

would make me grin from ear to ear.

The only positive to ever come from covid

BREAKING: CDC has decided to change their quarantine recommendations for Covid-19 Omicron to 7 days

how the mutations/variations work from what ive read. More transmissible, stronger up front. Less downtime.

 

[Jackcrevol]

its brought us closer together

 

[MetVol]

Chattanooga from Easter 2020.

 

[engineerVOL]

If I'm reading these COVID rules right, Cincinnati could win the national championship by being the only team that doesn't have Covid.

Butch Jones would claim that too.

 

[Adam2014]

Chattanooga from Easter 2020.

Oh, yeah, that was a doozy. Chattanooga has had a few strong tornadoes in the past few years.

I was like "man how did he pick out that the avatar was a tornado" but then I read your title again and I remembered

It is stupid. 80% or more of people are vaxed and can still get it. Used to be, if a player had the flu they sat. The rest of a team would still play. The symptoms of omicron, for most healthy people, are less than even the seasonal flu. It does not make sense to cancel a multi-million dollar sporting event because a couple of players got "the flu" a full week before the game. Just keep all other players away from them and watch for symptoms. But you still play the flipping game.

Shoot, they wouldn’t sit them if they had the flu.

 

[BigSteve09]

"911 what is your emergency"

"This is the Embassy Suites in Arlington, we have about 500 people down here wearing Alabama football gear, huddled around our air intake vents just breathing and coughing into them. The Cincinnati football team is staying here, I think that may have something to do with it"

 

[Glitch]

I would venture to guess that more college football players have died of the flu over the last 30+ years than the number that have died specifically from covid.

 

[BigSteve09]

Finebaum: "Next caller"

"RAMMER JAMMER YELLOW HAMMER, GIVE 'EM COVID, ALABAMA!"

Finebaum: "Folks, please stop attempting to spread Covid to the other playoff teams. And for the love of god, stop calling me to tell me about it."

 

[JCP201]

would make me grin from ear to ear.

If Georgia wins it like that-- they still haven't won anything since 1980.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

No question. No athlete in any major sport has been hospitalized or died from Covid.

 

[Big Orange#1]

I bet the number is virtually zero for flu as well. Obesity and age are the main two co-morbidities.

But that’s not allowed to be discussed. We must treat everyone the same way no matter what data tells us

Exactly. The over-reaction is what pisses people off. Protect the vulnerable and everyone else continue living.

That Florida basketball player had the myocarditis after covid infection back in 2020 I believe. But still not worth shutting sports down though obviously. Life is dangerous, these kids are risking CTE and other permanent injuries on the field/court but acting like they care about player safety from covid
