Yikes, pretty harsh and judgemental sounding.

HH after PG has a good game.....

No news, but he has been awol for quite some time.

Memphis loses again. This time to Tulsa. Oh, and Hardaway gets a 5 year extension......seriously.

Not surprisingly, it was the only way to keep their attention long enough to snap a picture 😂😂

Christmas time with my daughter and our pals. 2 dachshunds and our Aussie!

Eric/ColonialCrester was our founder. But mile has been around since the beginning. Mods are discussing this, just so you all know.

I appreciate a man who understands priorities.

Give a shot!

All kidding and hate aside, I seriously think Cal looks not well. He looks like he has gained 40 pounds, looks unkempt and almost sounds unhinged when doing interviews. He is barely recognizable. I do not mean it as funny, just makes me wonder. This is him the other night...

Yes, yes he was.

Man, that is tough. Keep plugging along. Easier said than done, but sometimes that's all you can do.

Great personal growth KoB. We are proud of you!

This is sooo good. 😂

I am not dismissing anything, but this statement is simply not true. Maybe more bout 80-20, and that's being generous.

His own words.... "The main thing lacking with this study is that it only looked at risk to the person wearing the face mask. It says nothing about the risk that the person wearing the mask will infect another person. That is an equally important parameter, and at present there are no high quality studies looking in to it, so before we can truly say that masks fill no function, we need another large randomized controlled trial that looks at the ability of face masks to prevent the mask wearer infecting other people" Hasn't everybody primarily said the biggest benefit to wearing a mask was to keep you from spreading to others, not so much to protect yourself? This study, and his analysis didn't even test what the main purpose of wearing a mask is. Not sure what point there was in this study. It measured something that isn't really part of the mask wearing debate.

@Hoosierhoopster part time gig? Good for him!

The deal, for me, on masks.... Do they work? Do they help? I say slightly, just my opinion. You can find plenty of studies to argue both sides. So it is what it is. I suspect it helps, but far from eliminates risk. For me, it is more about social responsibility. An overlooked fallout from this pandemic is anxiety, depression, and a myriad of mental well being issues. Wearing a mask gives people a sense of comfort. A sense of community. My wife suffers from major anxiety. It is so hard to watch what this is doing to her. If we go grocery shopping and ONE person is not wearing a mask, she sprints to the car. So, maybe wearing a mask helps reduce the spread. Maybe it gives a little sense of peace to a neighbor. There is zero risk to wearing a mask, beyond pride. There ARE proven benefits to wearing a mask, my wife. So I do not care what any study says in either direction. To me, it is doing the right thing for my small community.

🙏🙏 Get well Jeff!

This is a very worthwhile thread. Its a tough time and a tough topic. It is easy for emotions to take over. All I ask is remember, we are friends on an IU fan board. Lets discuss without jeopardizing that.

Sorry Lostin76, I did not mean to quote you. Although you clearly are spitting on the face of our rules, you are not alone and I am not singling you out.

Thread is about to come to an end. Be adults. If you get emoyional/political, step away. Just do not post. Look gang, nobody is going to change anybody views here. We just lost our founder Eric. Evety mod will vouch for me when I say he wanted to vote this thread long ago. Our forum is built, partly, on a zero politics policy. Honor that. Knock off the personal attacks and political jabs. Or just don't post. I am not giving any further warnings here. You are adults. You know the rules. Respect them or find somewhere else to post.

Wait, are you seriously claiming the national media treats all mass gatherings equally in how they portray them regarding covid? Come on now. I love you but come on. And its both sides, to be clear.

Early in the process. But there seems to be connections. And his mentality does match how Archie coaches. Should be interesting to follow this one.

I was in the city a few weeks ago. A restaurant literally asked for my ID. When he saw I was from Kentucky, he said due to covid they could not serve me. I got booted out. Lol
