Saw Lou Holtz giving his 2 cents on playing college football this season and the National anthem. Gotta say I agreed with him all the way.

I understood him fine, he does talk fastYou could understand him? I thought him and Bill Walton had their own secret language!
As a teacher and a coach in a state that is one of the hot spots of America I have to DISAGREE with you all 100%. You don't test the waters and then find out you got a group of athletes, coaches, officials, stadium personnel sick, you wait until the pandemic is controlled and it by no means is in about 33+ states!

Get rid of the democrats and the virus and Racism will go away.
We’ll have to agree in disagreement. Cases are up, so are the volume of tests. Deaths per week are down. Heaviest death toll per week was in April & early May. Younger age groups are testing positive and of those, a high populace are showing minor or no symptoms.As a teacher and a coach in a state that is one of the hot spots of America I have to DISAGREE with you all 100%.
Cases are up because every street corner in America now has testing. In Indiana, we went from 4 testing sites to 211 in something like 8 to 10 weeks.We’ll have to agree in disagreement.

Still a serious concern, but no show stopping, stay at home, educate online type of reaction at this point.
Nonsense. Balderdash. Bullsh*t.
Early on, all the advocates for flattening the curve showed the curve still rising, but rising over a longer time frame... again, with the sole purpose of not overwhelming medical facilities.
Anyone claiming otherwise is simply moving the goal posts.
"Keeping players safe" is a nonsensical term. If the players are otherwise healthy, they can withstand the COVID-19 virus, the flu virus, or any similar virus.
We've accomplished what we set out to accomplish. Fatality rates are nearing ZERO.
Any argument to do anything other than what we've accomplished has an ulterior motive.
It's time to move on and put this behind us.

I think you meant Trump.....Get rid of the democrats and the virus and Racism will go away.
Tell that to the almost 139,000 dead Americans the youngest being only 11 years old and many more that have died of strokes while having COVID! The US also set a new high in deaths YESTERDAY!
Due to the required process of being verified that the cause of death was the COVID-19 and marked that way on the Death Certificate most experts agree that the death number is actually quite higher in that if one dies outside of the hospital or ER room if an autopsy is not performed they go unreported. Autopsies are not free so the rate of those being performed is quite low.

"Tell that to the almost 139,000 dead Americans..." What a ridiculous statement, a statement with only one intent: to shut down the conversation.
I'm telling it to everybody. None of what you posted refutes any of my points.
What's more, you, nor I, nor anyone else has any idea how many of those 139,000 died as a result of COVID-19. The included people who died with COVID along with those who died from COVID.
By the CDC's own numbers, at most, the hospitals are seeing a 3-4% increase in COVID patients. Three... to four... percent. Nationwide hospitalizations are down 1-2%, then they're up 1-2%.... while deaths have dropped like a rock.
And again, when you look at all the data, this virus is not creating large mortality numbers for those who are young and healthy. You're in an extremely weak position if you want to argue: "if we just save one life". Or, the equivalent, "there was an 11 year old who died with COVID." Of course those lives are precious. Of course we don't want to lose a single life. If you're going to make that argument, start banning pools, peanut butter, bicycles, cars...
It's ridiculous to say "most experts agree". Most experts most certainly do NOT agree. What's more, this isn't a popularity contest to see how many experts agree. It's true... many people were counted as a COVID fatality when they died with the virus, not from the virus.
"15 days to flatten the curve." The curve was flattened.

To be counted each of the 139,000 verified deaths were certified through THREE protocols…
Only confirmed deaths from COVID-19 are reported, suspected deaths are not. To record a confirmed death from the virus requires a complete death certificate, and a complete death certificate has three components. One is medical, which is filled out by a doctor, hospital staff or a medical examiner’s office depending on where a person dies. The remaining portions are filled out by the funeral home and the family, this is where slowdowns can occur. In some cases, it’s hard to find family members and they have to do their due diligence to find family members! If one dies at home without an autopsy is another non-counter since they are not free many don’t!
The actual number is higher but for reasons mentioned Above they have not been counted, FACTS not OPINIONS!
The death rate is down from March/April. That's a fact. And it's a fact because doctors know how to better treat it and testing rates are significantly higher.
Not in Texas... ours is up substantially and I noticed Indiana's is growing too but not at the rates seen in Fla, Georgia, Arizona, California and Texas. In Texas overall percentage of infection found after testing around 16% and the hospitals in the Urban areas Dallas, San Antonio and Houston are packed! More schools are moving their start to AFTER Labor Day and then virtual leaning for most of the first QTR of school....FACT. Check the John Hopkins Covid site for more facts! https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html and for Indiana https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/new-cases-50-states/indiana

Tell me sir what are the long term effects on one's body from contracting COVID-19, I and the rest of the world await your expertise! I completely know and understand that the DEATH RATE has been lowered due to a combination of drugs, do YOU know that the average hospital stay has INCREASED for those trying to recover. That is why in the states mentioned before has hospitals operating at or near capacity and elective surgeries have been cancelled. The medical staffs in those states are about at the end of what they can handle!

Haha- remember when the New York Times printed thousands of names of Covid victims on the front page of their Sunday edition- and the SIXTH PERSON ON THE LIST had died of a gunshot wound!!???Tell that to the almost 139,000 dead Americans the youngest being only 11 years old and many more that have died of strokes while having COVID!

If Trump is defeated the virus will miraculously improve
You are irrational and the trend of what schools are doing proves it!
Whoa!! Don't go there or GoldandBlackintheSaddle will beat you senseless virtually...
Pat,
I’m going to try and give a mindful reply to your post. Even though you were trying to call me out, I like you; we’ve shared some good times in game threads.
I really wish that there were no political discussions on the football / bb pages. They seem to serve no purpose other than further the divide in our country and say “hooray for our side.” For the most part, I try to avoid / ignore them but alas I caved in. As was pointed out in the ‘Hey Mods’ thread, it’s usually just a handful of posters who continually do the political crap. A couple of them think they’re being cute or witty with their not so veiled barbs and quips.
That said, I’m going to be a hypocrite and mention politics here. That particular garbage-poster I replied to has posted such things as “Obama is a terrorist” and “The liberals are racists and are responsible for this virus.” Good God man, it would almost be funny but that guy is serious. Hell, he may have even gotten a few “likes.”
Being that it is common knowledge that players, recruits, player’s families (Nojel’s mom, Haas’ uncle, Proctor’s dad, Kelsey Barlow, et al) read these forums, do you think a post that says, “Obama is a terrorist” is a good look for Purdue fans to have?
I would think that most rational people – even if they didn’t care for President Obama as a president – would agree that he is a very good and decent Human Being…about the farthest thing from a damn terrorist.
How do you think a young African American recruit might feel if he were to come on these boards or social media and see a Purdue fan write, “Obama is a terrorist.” Do you think that is a good look or a bad look?
If you want to align yourself with that cesspool-of-a-poster then go ahead. The next time Painter or Brohm misses out on a young African American recruit, just know that there was a possibility he sees part of the Purdue fan base write utter trash like “Obama is a terrorist.” So to you or anyone who reads these boards, look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself what you condone or condemn.
