[50+yeartidefan]

but you're dropping the word contrived? I don't think you know what that word means.

This is what i thought it meant....but.....i dont know...

Seemsto fit....but english wa never my strongest area...

@50+yeartidefan See what I mean?

There's nothing that's been "deliberately created" here but rather "naturally" based on what's known about Jimbo, Bjork, A&M, the testing involved, what's at stake, what's been said, the environment surrounding Jimbo at A&M right now ...

Consider this.

A player will opt out of a game considering the possibility it will affect his time in the league.

But a coach won't opt out of a game knowing it will have a direct bearing on his future?

But.....we dont know that for sure...we theorize it based on other instances...personal feelings....heresay...
See thats what i mean...that makes it deliberately created....the feeling for the reason for-doing...
The game is a meaningless bowl game....has no affect on the future...went 7-5 or something.... win or lose.... 2022 starts 0-0

... never have heard or seen Jimbo do it... so where is the precedent?
Not saying it isnt true...may well be... but proof?

My goodness...ask anybody thats ever played....worked hard all year...lets strap and play...Especially seniors...if not moving to a league...lasttimefor organized football

The timeline is not deliberately created. What has transpired is not created.

.we theorize it based on other instances...personal feelings....heresay...

There is nothing that I've said about Jimbo that's hearsay. (That applies to Bjork, as well as the others mentioned.) My feelings are based on what has actually happened in the past.

we dont know that for sure

We? We don't know what for sure? (You and I aren't in the same boat here so the "we" thing needs tossing.)

You don't understand what's going on within that program right now. The only thing keeping Jimbo's seat from boiling is that recruiting class. While the Bama win weighs into the equation his support structure at A&M see four losses. These supporters want to see a return for their investment and I'm not talking about Jimbo's money alone. I'm not pointing to their NIL deals (though this weighs in.)

... never have heard or seen Jimbo do it... so where is the precedent?

The precedent for saying Jimbo is a piece of shit comes from following him for over two decades. I know how he operates. How you're still seeing through a glass darkly confounds me.

At some point you'll realize there are people that know a lot more than we do about different programs and their coaching staffs.

Tone deaf? Or just plain "sumpin'."

Still waiting to hear how many of these cases have been life threatening or even remotely effecting a player. Also, what the whole push for vaccinated players was for. None of it adds up. If it does, someone smarter than me can explain it as I'm all ears.

Not a Dr myself but from a family of medical experts. From what they’ve explained to our family everything is just odds. Your odds are way better with the vaccine to survive than they are without it. That’s the essential #1 driving force behind the movement for vaccinations.

This isn’t a political thing anymore it’s a world health thing. We all just need to try to stay safe and do our part to eliminate contagion.

Also a misnomer is people hearing vaccine and thinking “cure” they are different things. We all get the flu vaccine each year but still get the flu because it doesn’t completely guard against it just makes it easier for our immune system to fight it off

This can be a statement as well as a question.

Because you're "from a family of medical experts./?"

I mean it’s a message board and I’m just regurgitating what I have been told from multiple PhDs and Nurses. You can always believe what you want, that’s the essence of America.

My opinion time:

My opinion on this is that unfortunately this is trending like the Flu. Each year we will have to get a shot to just stay ahead of it.
