How many assistant coaches does Sark fire?
How does this keep being a story? We roll in class after class of 4 and 5 stars. Do we just somehow get all the busts every single year? I’m not buying that Iowa St, Baylor and Okie St somehow get the “right” 2 and 3 stars and we get the “wrong” 4 and 5 stars. Even if that’s true, it’s still coaches picking them, but I guess we can’t blame Sark for that (yet).

Act person you thought would make it big but didn’t
I was home late and drunk one night and watched the weirdest movie on Prime. Called Original Gangster. Kind of a black comedy I guess. Set in London but the premise was that the main character worked for a NYC mob boss who was hiding out by running a crew while wearing a blond wig and callIng himself John Baptiste or something. Guttenberg played the mobster.

Texas Roster 2021 -- Turn This Shit Around
I don’t know why anyone is panicking. We just need upgrades on offense, defense and special teams

Why does Plonsky still have a job?
I am at least 90% certain there is/was one. Maybe on TOS.

This is a good list. Purefoy and Sossaman especially. Add Bella Heathcoate if anyone here even remembers her from about 2012. From about the same time, amanda seyfried got big but I thought she’d be much bigger. Just sort of plateaued and faded.

This Program Is Cursed. It Is Now Time to Embrace It
I feel like the OP kinda went over a lot of people’s heads. Like that old droopy lightup longhorn. I personally think it was the elimination of the NEZ noise meter.

COVID-19 vaccine discussion
I get your point, but that wasn’t mine.

COVID-19 vaccine discussion
Does anybody else here read that Morning email from the NY Times? It’s written/edited by the same guy every day but its message on Covid swings 180 degrees in tone all the time. It upsets me mostly that it’s so blatant and obvious. This morning the it has decided to make Covid super scary again. The UK is a disaster for opening up too much, cases are rising again, vaccinations have stalled, protection from early vaccinations is waning, etc. https://messaging-custom-newsletters.nytimes.com/template/oakv2?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20211102&instance_id=44368&nl=the-morning&productCode=NN®i_id=115763618&segment_id=73279&te=1&uri=nyt%3A%2F%2Fnewsletter%2Ff3e9b033-65f4-555a-8822-8481d05222ab&user_id=52582b04c3b92afd841aaf462e715115 Now look at last week. Cases are falling, severity is good, but the US is so much worse than places like the UK: https://messaging-custom-newsletters.nytimes.com/template/oakv2?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20211026&instance_id=43778&nl=the-morning&productCode=NN®i_id=115763618&segment_id=72649&te=1&uri=nyt%3A%2F%2Fnewsletter%2F7a9563af-a274-5b82-8f76-2ad8d568b82d&user_id=52582b04c3b92afd841aaf462e715115

COVID-19 vaccine discussion
My flu shot didn't produce any effects other than 4 solid days of my arm feeling like a fastball hit it. It must have been the needle the nurse used. I didn't question:

Musty smell
Maybe you should shower more

Beta blockers. Enough metroprolol can get you to 30 - if that's what you want.

COVID-19 vaccine discussion
My booster illness was rougher than shots 1 and 2 but faster, if that makes sense. Day 1 was like I drank a case of beer the night before. Day 2 was 4 hours of a really rough flu-like thing. Then fine. Shot 2 was 4-5 days of a mild cold.

COVID-19 vaccine discussion
Is it your belief that this vaccine is less effective than most vaccines? Because that's just not true. This is a phenomenal vaccine in terms of efficacy and protection. No it is not 100%, but the best hope at the time Covid hit was somewhere around 60-70%, and it's far better than that. Moreover, even when the vaccine "fails," it still prevents people who contract the disease from getting really, really sick at an even more phenomenal rate. Bottom line is that it is roughly 90% effective against lab-confirmed, symptomatic infection and approaching 100% against moderate and severe disease for general Covid, and 60%-88% against symptomatic infection and 96% effective against severe disease from the Delta variant. That's amazing. To put that in perspective, the original Salk polio vaccine is/was 60-70% effective against polio, and the much improved later version still never got above 90%. Smallpox vaccine is 90-95% at preventing severe disease. Chickenpox is around 82%. And as far as antibody counts go, I think we'll find that they're not as much of a guidepost as we expected them to be.

11.1.21 Coach Sark PC @ 11am
And poor talent evaluation within the roster (playing the wrong guys). But it's clearly those players' faults for not being good enough.

So...about Charlie Strong at USF...
I like when reporters try to sound like they're part of the team: “One football staffer — who wasn’t one of the program’s designated on-field assistants — coached up tight ends during the 2018 season,” wrote the Times’ Matt Baker.

Hey PK -- What would you say you do here?
Right now? Probably just 1 or 2 guys. But straight out of HS, maybe all of them.
