He’s like a vulture circling TCU looking for smelly carrion...

You got it in reverse....

His career is the smelly rotting carrion and WE are the vultures circling....in my best Jules from Pulp Fiction voice....

We could all die at any moment and for any reason. Also, nobody would die. Exactly NOBODY. Good idea on the college kids in a bubble thing though. Good luck enforcing that.

fairly certain that a number of high school, college, and even an nfl football player has died of heat stroke which can be prevented and yet there is no outcry to prevent the seasons to start in august or curtail summer conditioning workouts

Playing football (and all of the things that go along with it such as the summer workouts you mention) is far more dangerous to these kids than COVID-19.

You might want to pay attention to COVID data. Plus it is going to anyway, whether dorms, locker rooms. Why delay the inevitable.
It looks like the NBA and NHL are serious about the bubble environment and has the best chance to work with that attitude ... not sure how well it works in a football environment.

All in the name of football!

Let’s not concern ourselves with who ever they infect that may susceptible to the virus. SMH
It is already everywhere. The players are on campus, not living with grandma and grandad. Hopefully not going out much. But college kids are going to mingle and more.

We either learn to live with it or not. Hope you have. If not be all means you should stay home.

the nba which has had players going in and out at a whim is serious?

Well maybe not zero. According to the article young people are making up a large portion of those testing positive.

Article lost me at "unspecified underlying health condition". This disease does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to healthy kids and that's an absolute fact. I'm currently at another HS baseball tournament in Tomball (the 5th one I've been to this summer). 28 teams, 8 different fields, games from 8:00 AM to near midnight on all fields for 5 straight days. No masks on the players, no social distancing, nothing different than they would have done previously. They are having these all over the country and have been doing so since late May. NOT ONE MAJOR ISSUE. And just to be clear, I'm sure quite a few of these kids probably have or will get the virus, they just have no idea because they aren't testing them so they just keep right on playing because the virus does pretty much nothing to them. You want to make the hysteria go down about 10 levels? Stop testing. Start worrying about only those with symptoms.

And..? Zero remains zero.

A "positive" test does not mean "You will shortly die with blood squirting from your eyeballs." The vast majority of infections go unnoticed. But, the daily flood of panic porn has everyone believing that if they don't cower in their homes, they'll turn into brain eatin zombies...

Brain eating zombies would be preferable to what many people have already become because of this virus. And I'm not taking about the people who actually had/have it.

Mrs. Brewingfrog and I are hosting some friends this weekend for some shooting, pool frolicking, and cooking. Many, many rounds of .308 and .223 will impact steel, and the tenderloins are properly aged and awaiting their smoke and fire.

These poor folks have been cooped up in Houston for months. They finally had enough and are coming out to the Ranch. No masks, no goggles (Well, except for shootin' goggles), and no paranoia. They are literally giddy.
