He's not going to leave Tulane in mid season. He's not going to choose another job mid season. So it isn't going to make a difference if we wait to fire Stoops at the end of the season. It isn't going to get us a leg up on anyone doing it mid season.

If Barnhart IS going to have the financial backing to buyout Stoops, he's already reached put through agents to gage interest in our HC position.

His agent will be talking schools about openings though. He will know where he is going by Thanksgiving.

100 percent she isn't the nominee next time or ever again. I don't think she will even try. She is trying to sell books and audition for a cooking show or some BS.

if i can stop laughing long enough to post...
.... the Democrat... the Democrat "nominee" for 2024... who blew through more money in 6m than Trump collected his whole campaign... who lost every key county and state... doesn't understand the difference between odds makers and polls.... thinks she "was the most qualified candidate maybe ever"....

Now, maybe she assumed all bookies are Polish, and was misquoted... but... I don't think so

In other words, it’s group therapy cosplaying as democracy. They should call it a mental health session. Instead of protest signs, they should hand out clipboards, mood surveys, and those folding paper crowns that Burger King gives out for kids’ fast-food birthday parties.

They think it's group therapy. It's more like group psychosis to me since they don't improve their state from it but collectively get more miserable.

Yes, you could. It was airborne. If you share an hvac system, you could have sat in your apartment the entire time and still got it. Good lord.

How are you alone if sharing a HVAC system? Someone else is with you. Sharing is a definition of not being alone.

If I knew how to attach twitter posts on here, I would. But, if you're truly curious, check out Alex berenson post about 3 or 4 days ago, with a subtweet with scientific sources linked.

Or Don't, and keep taking that rubbish yearly. IDC. lol

Again, I'm not hunting anyone down as I don't know that I'll find what you think you mean - see above.

Rubbish is what you're spewing.

Here you go. Basically covid had about 2.4 the deaths.

Comparison of Deaths per Capita: COVID-19 vs. 1957 Asian Flu PandemicTo compare the global death tolls per capita between the COVID-19 pandemic (2019–ongoing) and the 1957–1958 Asian Flu pandemic (caused by the H2N2 influenza virus), we use confirmed or estimated excess deaths divided by the relevant world population. Note that both pandemics have some uncertainty in totals due to underreporting, varying definitions of "excess" deaths, and historical data limitations. COVID-19 figures are confirmed deaths as of October 2025, while Asian Flu estimates are based on excess mortality models from historical records.Key DataPandemicTime PeriodEstimated/Confirmed Global DeathsRelevant World PopulationDeaths per Capita1957 Asian Flu1957–19591.1 million (excess deaths from respiratory causes; range: 0.7–1.5 million)2.85 billion (mid-1957)~39 per 100,000 (or 0.039%)COVID-192019–20257.1 million (confirmed; true toll likely higher, e.g., 18–28 million excess all-cause deaths in some estimates)7.8 billion (mid-2020)~91 per 100,000 (or 0.091%)Explanation and ComparisonDeaths per Capita Calculation:For the Asian Flu: ( \frac{1,100,000}{2,850,000,000} \approx 0.000386 ), or 38.6 per 100,000 people. This uses the 1957 world population, as the pandemic peaked that year.For COVID-19: ( \frac{7,100,000}{7,800,000,000} \approx 0.00091 ), or 91 per 100,000 people. This uses the 2020 world population, when the pandemic began and most deaths occurred (though the global population has grown to ~8.1 billion by 2025, the per capita rate would be slightly lower if using that figure).Direct Comparison: COVID-19 has caused roughly 2.4 times more deaths per capita than the Asian Flu, based on confirmed/excess figures. If using higher excess death estimates for COVID-19 (e.g., up to 28 million), the ratio rises to ~10 times higher. The Asian Flu was milder in case-fatality rate but struck a smaller, younger global population; COVID-19's impact was amplified by an older demographic and comorbidities in many regions.Contextual Factors:Scale and Severity: The Asian Flu killed ~1–2% of those infected and spread rapidly via air and sea travel, but vaccines were developed mid-outbreak. COVID-19 had a lower initial case-fatality rate (~1–3%) but overwhelmed healthcare systems due to its duration and variants.Data Notes: Asian Flu estimates come from modeled excess respiratory deaths (1957–1959 period). COVID-19 uses WHO-confirmed deaths as of October 15, 2025; excess all-cause estimates are higher but not universally agreed upon.Limitations: Per capita doesn't account for age-adjusted rates (Asian Flu hit younger people harder) or regional variations (e.g., higher COVID-19 rates in Europe/Latin America).This comparison highlights how population growth and improved surveillance inflate absolute numbers today, but per capita metrics reveal relative lethality.

Thanks for finding and posting this. Do I read correctly that this data shows covid-19 was more deadly per capita than that flu pandemic?

Like I said... adjustments. Tomlin is like Stoops at the end the end of of close games/half, so that's to Green Bay's advantage. Rodgers holding onto the ball too long now, so they may be down 10 before long.

I wish he'd define "unless absolutely necessary". I think most pregger women don't use it unless this is the case. So what's his point?

A little help from the refs on that punt, and you're golden. Ignored two of the blockers picking up and taking a player to the ground, and several punches to the head/neck by the Packers all after the whistle.

Doesn't matter much, because the Steelers D can't stop em. Another 2nd half collapse.

edit- Lost the game on both sides of the ball. As expected but still disappointing. Interesting 1st half, though. Looked like a competitive game until the missed GB FG to end the half. Night all
