Lowe to have an MRI on his shoulder tomorrow. Pope said that Lowe hurt it, they don't know the extent of it yet. They'll know more after the imaging tomorrow.

This is unf***ing-believable...
What would a UK basketball season be without 3 projected starters dealing with injuries and unknown timelines for playing? Though one if them seems to be back and ready (for now).

Football was played long before 1998. Mich and OSU are the top two winningest programs in college football.

They confirmed that the shoulder was dislocated and had to be popped back in.

Statistically, with a "first time shoulder separation" 70 to 90 percent of the time it involves a torn labrum.

Recovery time for that when it does NOT require surgery is 6 to 12 weeks. If surgery is required his season is over.

Dislocated left shoulder on several occasions during my Army service. Once while drawing back on a re-curve bow. Painful. One is nearly helpless.

Looking at this list and brings back memories of how stupid and flawed college football's postseason has always been given the human bias basically just placing someone in a title game. Way before our time, you'd get stupid stuff like Alabama claiming the 1941 national title despite going 8-2, finising third in the SEC and ranked 20th all based on the Houlgate System but I digress.


LSU- Two losses in 2007 but still national champs. Claims a share of 2003 because the dumb BCS points system at the time omitted the No. 1 ranked team in both polls and put in an Oklahoma team that just got smashed 35-7 in the conference title game.

06 Florida's jump to that ranking didn't make sense based on where the rankings had been. They simply didn't want a rematch of Michigan/OSU.

Human bias put in 2011 Alabama for a rematch against LSU. Team didn't even win their own division yet gets placed in the title game for a second chance which is what led to the creation of the four team playoff because of how outrageous it was.

Other notes- 1998 Tennessee lucked out so much that year. The Arkansas game where all Arkansas had to do was run the clock out and tripped and fumbled. Then played FSU in the title game who had to use their third string QB.

2010 Auburn had seven wins by one possession. Five of them by three points or less. Cam Newton just carried that team.

2019 LSU arguably the greatest team of all-time just behind 01 Miami, imo.

08 Florida was loaded. Can't believe that team lost to Ole Miss.

Yes, radiology will be affected. My buddy is a radiologist and said in 20 years it’ll be basically a job to check AI. Otherwise that’s basically it. But anyway, I guess in 3 years we can revisit this. If 90% of the world is unemployed, the world is in shambles, everything we know to be true is in shambles, and AI is controlling our lives you’ll be right. Kinda like Al Gore in 2007.

I said 15 for massive unemployment. The immediate hammer is going to be college grads. Between offshoring and AI, they wont have jobs in tech. You cant have entire classes of graduates entering into a no hope job market.

Let me put more context into my points. Im not guessing. I work for companies in corporate America. Each year they have development roadmaps for their programmers and engineers.

These roadmaps are in 1,3, and 5 year development stages. They are internal virtual documents but discussed in leadership meetings so leadership can drive what they want done in those projected time periods.

So when i say these things, i am not guessing. Im telling people what is being road mapped by companies RIGHT NOW that will be coming.

So there can be action now to stop the avalanche, or we can all just get used to socialism because there will be scant few people actually employed.

Let me make it even more immediate than this. Estimate how many college students are studying programming or some sort of technology/software. 25-35% to be conservative?

None of those people are getting jobs. Not even in today's market. Offshoring and AI are taking all those jobs.

What happens when 25-35% of the college graduates exit college without employment options?

That doesn't even count currently unemployed programmers who are starting to fight over qa jobs.

This is an avalanche if disaster that needs stopped now before it gets too far gone.
There's a big shortage of elder care personnel.
