Great throw great catch.

Big stop. 2nd and 2 and they hold twice in a row.

Boy that was some terrible defense. Two guys open in the end zone.

I'm only following on the gamecast and not watching but is our defense performing that poorly and we're just getting lucky? Only 20 points allowed through 3 quarters isn't bad. Seems like the offense is the bigger issue tonight.

Need to capitalize on the field position here.

I was going to respond that North Dakota, as of now, is a top 10 team but then I remembered that the NDST of old used to hammer everyone.

That’s a long way of saying I agree with you.

Lol. Going to need to see more evidence than random Twitter dude on the nearly 50K deaths thing.

Congress doesn’t have a mandate because Biden doesn’t have the power to force them to.

Teachers in California are already required to be vaccinated or undergo weekly testing.

And when the mandate for students goes into affect, teachers will be required to take it also.

You’re right. We should just say screw it and have no masks and no vaccines for kids. It will go great. Just ask Texas.

Sounds like a guy who doesn't really know what he's talking about. Same with Isaac.

Yeah, that’s what Marsh was saying on the radio.

Picked off!

Hell yeah!

Evidently reading comprehension is not your strong suit. So I'll be more clear.

These two paragraphs are directly relevant to the next home football game:

Davis Enterprise: "In the interest of public health and to ensure the safest possible environment for spectators, coaches and student-athletes, UC Davis will require proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test within 72 hours of the event at all Aggie home football games the rest of this season.

"The policy will go into effect starting with the Saturday, Oct. 2 contest against Idaho." — movielover

There is absolutely nothing wrong with posting that.

This paragraph, however, is not the could not be any less relevant to the next home football game:

Interesting. The elites didn't wear masks at the Emmy's, Obama's birthday bash in Martha's Vineyard, or even Aggie / Mayor London Breed when out partying recently. (She has twice now broken her own rules, and referred to her critics as "fun police".) — movielover

So again, I, nor anybody else on this board (I'm guessing) has any issue with the first two paragraphs. Just post that next time. This isn't that difficult.

But seriously, is there any sort of moderator presence on this board? How hard is it to tell him to keep this crap to the OT Forum (or better yet, just stop altogether) or get booted? I’ve seen other boards do it all the time to trolls. It’s not that hard.

Movielover gonna movielover just like always.

If he just posts the part about the changes UCD is making regarding fans at sporting events, it would be a perfectly fine post. Instead, he has to include his biased far-right viewpoint, as he does all too frequently.

It's ironic because movielover should probably take the advice of some of the right wing pundits he certainly follows on TV/Twitter when a famous black athlete speaks out on political matters and just stick to sports.

Unfortunately it seems we cannot just treat people as human beings but need to divide by all sorts of categories real or contrived. I just think there have to be better ways for realizing fairness and treating people with respect. — NCagalum

If we as a society had been treating people as human beings all along, we wouldn’t need implicit bias training or a focus on diversity in our hiring practices. Unfortunately, the people in charge in the country have tended to be, and generally still are, white men. And people tend to hire people who are most similar to them. So when white men are in charge and they do interviews, guess who they tend to hire? And that trickles down.

So yes, maybe there is a better way. But what we were doing in the past was much, much worse than what we’re doing now. That’s not to say that what we’re doing now is perfect. But it’s a big improvement.

I said it a while back but it's highly unlikely they're going to suspend the entire program because a few players did some hazing, regardless of how often they did it. There are 35 players on the team. If 5 or so were involved in the hazing, they'd boot them off the team and move on. It's got to be more widespread than that.

You posted two opinion pieces, one of which directly references the other and relies on the other to make it's point. Try again.

Sometimes it's tough to know when an opinion on a topic is or isn't welcome. You need to know your audience. For example, this board is not the place for Sac State or Cal Poly fans to come and talk about their team in a bunch of threads. Obviously we're happy to hear their insights on their respective teams in relevant threads (such as a gameday thread between UCD and Sac/CP), but this is a UCD board.

That's not a perfect analogy because this board isn't a "Democrat 4 Life" board, but the general point stands. I'll give a personal example. I'm a Cubs fan living in Giants country and I used to work at a bar. I quite enjoy talking about the Cubs and it was very easy to bring them up in baseball conversations. However, a number of the patrons didn't care much at all about the Cubs (especially since most of the time I worked at the bar, the Cubs were bad so they weren't relevant to the national conversation). So I had to be careful to limit my Cubs talk. One customer actually called me out on it one time (in a nice way) and it made me more conscious of it, which was a good thing. If the Cubs got brought up or were playing the Giants and somebody asked me about the Cubs, great. But otherwise, I had to know my audience.

Unfortunately in this case, movielover has been made well aware that his political thoughts, in general, aren't well received on the board. And if he kept them to the OT Board, it wouldn't be as big of a deal. The problem, as BlueGoldAg pointed out, is that he doesn't do this.
