Man... I'm ready for football season to start soon but at this rate there won't be one. I mean I'd rather have everyone be safe and healthy but damn this year's gonna be a bummer... 

My options for entertainment are running low too... Just started playing the Resident Evil 3 remake. 

But once that's done idk what I'll do..  maybe I'll paint someone's house... Or take some master classes on cooking... Or get an early start on my taxes... 

This sucks man...

I just read where Louisiana voted to allow Workouts starting June 8th. 

That is absolutely insane! Social distancing practices? Kids wearing masks and gloves? Quarantine the kids?  I am certain the locker rooms and uniforms are cleaned thoroughly after every practice. Unlike when i was a kid and we wore them nasty son of  a guns 3 days in a row if not all week. LOL One kid comes in contact with one person infected, the entire team is going to get it. I miss football as much as anyone and miss sports in general. But man just having a hard time putting kids on the field when there are 300k plus deaths and climbing due to a virus that we have NO idea how to control is spreading like wild fire.

The strange thing is the number of teenagers who have even been seriously affected by covid is close to zero. I’m not sure any have died. They likely have a greater risk of dying playing football than dying from covid. They certainly have a greater risk dying driving to practice than they do of dying from covid. And by the fall it is likely that much of the herd immunity we need to achieve will have happened. We need to protect the elderly (who are almost exclusively the only ones who need protecting), but we can do so without imprisoning an entire generation of children.

Imo, it all depends on whether you open schools or not.  If you open schools, you should play sports.   There’s more contact in the halls when the bell rings than any football field.   

So if you open schools, & one kid catches it, do you quarantine everyone in every class that kids in?   Don’t think that’ll work.   So again, imo, it all depends on whether we open schools.   Some experts claim heat & humidty will kill much of the Virus.   Can’t see a decision being made until mid July.  I’m in the high risk group, so I should take precautions.   Young folks, not so much.   As I heard one reporter say, we can open things, then if necessary, close again, but the one thing we can’t do is open to late.

It’ll be a tough call, and I’m glad I’m not the one making it.  But do we, not just school kids, cower in our homes forever?

It's not looking good for HS football season comrades. Lots of talk about changing up school as we know it too.Year round school with multiple breaks, extending the school year etc... etc.... Still early but, things will likely change this fall...

All of that sounds horrible.

You may have a point but I kind of think sweaty athletes may spread it faster than normal contact between students in hallways and such. Not to mention there may be new provisions to limit such contact

Don’t be an ignorant pessimist. How many of those supposed deaths were healthy teenaged boys?

Agreed, I’ve been saying that since all this started. There’s been a lot of videos taken down from credible physicians and epidemiologist talking about the same thing. The political aspect of this crisis is so obvious. It’s sickening! I hope the kids get to play football this year.

Blah Blah Blah, this is it for football.  It's all over with.  This is the end.  Ya'll sound like CNN.  We have to get back to normal.  What are we going to do live in a bubble from here on out.  I am sure this will all go away in November, if you know what I mean.

I don’t understand. November?

      It’s kinda weird…

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol.

      End Property Tax At 65?!

      By CardinalBacker · Posted

      I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.

      They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
