  • Tim Plough new OC at Boise State
    Plough is around 35 and he’s been an OC since 2015.
  • Tim Plough new OC at Boise State
    I don’t see how they could have looked outside based on the timing ( Boise coach named this weekend, spring ball around the corner). Seems like the logical choice within the program.

    I think we can all agree there won’t be many politicians that come out of this looking good. Heck, I read an op/ed piece in the Mercury news from a Philadelphia Inquirer writer saying that Reagan was the reason for the slow rollout (cuts he made 40 years ago to Health and Welfare that led to health center and some hospital closures).

    Scary that the politician that looks the smartest here might be Arnold!
  • Spring Schedule
    I think we’re supposed to start ‘walk throughs’ in about a week and full practice on the 25th (if memory serves). I assume we can start the non-contact stuff now, so the question is will they lift the contact ban in two weeks
  • COVID-19
    as of 3 days ago, only 1/3 of California’s received doses have been administered. That part seem like a more local problem to me. Plenty of mismanagement to point at on both sides of the political spectrum.
  • COVID-19
    I read that also, but she was supposedly walking through the area where they are masked by ER standards. And people started testing positive within 2 days ( I think one report said some were later that same day)? I would think ER personnel is exposed in close quarters for much longer periods and the masks seem to handle that. Must be one hell of a fan! Much stronger than the HVAC in ER.

    Just seems a little fishy to me. Maybe I’m getting too cynical in my old age
  • COVID-19
    in an article I was reading today about the Kaiser Christmas outbreak, the paper said it takes 10 days and isn’t more than 50%. Wonder where they get their info? I’ve heard the numbers you quote.

    BTW, I don’t believe the Kaiser outbreak is due to someone passing through an area where e dry one was fully masked in an inflatable costume. Too many head scratchers there. Sounds like a diversion from some serious protocol breaches.

    If there was evidence that it was spread through competition, that would be something. But from the little I’ve seen, that doesn’t seem to be the case. I was listening to Peter King (SI football guru) and he was saying there’s been no evidence of transmission from one team to another. For example, Tennessee had big outbreak and their prior opponent (one day before first of positive tests) had no cases immediately following.

    I’m all for caution when there is a basis. There seems to be zero basis for this decision

    sounds temporary from this article in the enterprise last month :

    Bob Biggs is quoted often. He must be on the mend!
  • COVID-19
    closed for good? I don’t know how Davis restaurants are surviving with the limited student population in town
  • COVID-19
    I was talking to someone in the department and told him I had a hotel booked for the home opener. He said something along the lines of ‘yeah, uh, hope that works out’ . I’ll talk a 3 hour walk that day, laps around the perimeter of the stadium!
  • COVID-19
    I’d be shocked if there are fans in the stands for spring football. At the current rate, I’ll be surprised if either basketball or football will be permitted to start any time soon

    a lot of the Hispanic issues, I think, are economic based. Most of the laborers I see or deal with are Hispanic- hard to build a fence remotely from the safety of your living room!

    Our numbers in Livermore are much worse than neighboring Pleasanton and Dublin, and folks want to blame it on our bustling downtown and wineries. I point out our Hispanic population is 3 times our neighbors and that our average income is some $40k less. I think that means we have many more working in the public and risking exposure. I also think traditions and behaviors contribute
  • Nevada and San Jose State...
    I’m not a big Alabama fan (except for fellow Antioch guy Najee Harris) but you never see them pull any crap on the field. Minimal showboating, never any taunting.

    Leach’s teams always play with that edge and here it just blew up. They should have nipped the crap in pregame but let it go. Hopefully not indicative of Tulsa since we’re there next year
  • COVID-19
    I just get tired of the media latching onto one idea and running it into the ground, data be damned.

    We have a cabin in the mother lode so I follow the news up there. Their numbers went crazy around thanksgiving into December. Indoor gatherings, of course. Well.......800 of those cases were in correctional facility in Jamestown. Officially, an indoor gathering!

    The misinformation and hype, I think, has really fed into the fatigue and lowering of many people’s efforts.
  • Nevada and San Jose State...
    Speaking of bowl games, how about the post game of the Liberty Bowl. One of the worse things I’ve seen in college football. Sickening. MSU kids seemed to instigate it from the pregame on. Good old Mike Leach, the ‘pirate’. His post game comments were bad - like it was no big deal
  • Nevada and San Jose State...
    I think that was a big part. Also think MWC was pretty weak this year. Boise didn’t look good. Aztecs were below average. That being said big improvement for Spartans, glad coach is staying
  • COVID-19
    thats my wife’s rant about COVID. There is the other consequence that after the protests, things opened probably faster than they should in response. Paper showed a picture of a ‘die in’ In San Jose in their year in review with 1000’s head to head for hours! Next to that was a picture of post election street celebrations with chanting and lots of hugs, granted with masks. And a BIG jump in numbers after both. Yet they harp on Thanksgiving gatherings and I can’t detect a change in the trend.

    Still boggles my mind that bars in LA county opened soon after the protests.

    Sorry my rant!

    Fullerton has cancelled their first two BW games . Riverside and Long Beach are on pause.
