  1. Those numbers are potentially misleading given the different average ages of the populations. It would make more sense to divide by the vaccine eligible population than total population.
  2. It wasn’t a girls name before the 80s (it wasn’t really a given name at all).
  3. Some might argue that reposting every single meme you see on Facebook doesn’t make for a better poster.
  4. Surly can always be counted on for fertile imaginations.
  5. To give a serious answer-because I think these are precisely the sort of ethical dilemmas people should really wrestle with-my wife and I have dealt with “unexplained infertility” (there’s no known medical reason for it, it just hasn’t happened-multiple miscarriages, and trouble conceiving in the interim). After getting a whole menu of options from a specialist, we decided against IVF precisely because of discomfort with what happens to those embryos. But I would be against binding that sort of decision on anyone else.

    He’ll still be in high school.
  7. formermav43 replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
    He has graduated. But you can’t just leave in the middle of the season and enroll in a graduate program somewhere else weeks into class. And I would imagine you can’t play for more than one team in the same season, though I’m not going to bother to look that up at the moment. Not to mention, even if that was possible, where is he going to show up at this point where he has a better chance of playing this fall than here?
  8. formermav43 replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
    Yes, 2 years of eligibility due to COVID. He has already redshirted. There is no advantage to transferring before the end of the season. He cannot play anywhere else now. He cannot save any eligibility. It would be completely irrational.
  9. It read like one of Lobo’s bizarre jokes to me.

    Never trust a guy who thinks it’s a receiving “core.”

    There's zero reason for Thompson to transfer until after the season is over. Even if he could somehow get somewhere else and be eligible this late in the game (which is doubtful), his best chance at playing THIS fall is still right here, should Card get injured or just falter. Plus, that allows him a much better look at what other rosters look like in the Spring to pick the most advantageous situation for him. He could transfer out after the season, be wherever he is going for Spring ball, and still have 2 years of eligibility remaining with the additional year granted due to COVID. Basically, there's no upside to leaving now and plenty of incentive to stay.
  12. Everything depends on the severity of the injury. They can place him on IR now, but it means he’s done for the year. To be able to play again this season, you first have to make the 53 man roster and then be placed on IR. Given Wentz’s injury history, they’ll probably go that route if Ehlinger’s injury allows it. I’d say the practice squad is his least likely destination, because it means he has to be released first.
  13. That can happen, but he’d be ineligible to return this season unless he makes the 53 man roster first.
  14. That’s not what he did. That’s the point.
  15. He never said that. You’re the one spreading disinformation in this exchange. Anastasis is only guilty of pedantry, but that’s just typical surly.

    Plus with the extra COVID year of eligibility, there’s not much incentive to do that even if he hadn’t. Just like there’s not as much incentive to transfer NOW. Even if he loses the competition, it makes more sense to stick for the season and see how things shake out at other schools (or if Card falters, for that matter) and transfer in the Spring still with 2 seasons to play.
  17. formermav43 replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
    Forcing them to prepare for 2 guys with a combined 2 quarters of action isn’t a thing.
  18. formermav43 replied to LTtxfan's topic in Football
    We’ve seen exactly one meaningful half of college football from both guys combined. Nobody here knows anything about what to expect.
  19. It’s still not good, but that 100% positive rate doesn’t mean “literally everybody has COVID.” It means that over the last 7 days, 100% of PCR tests have come back positive.
  20. Boyd Crowder deserves a mention.
  21. Isn’t it for sale even if it’s not Stallone’s home?
  22. You could take the second greatest player and have MJ/Peppers and that’s still as good or better than your other list.
  23. Hi, neighbor!
  24. Where's the rest of it?
