here since the gator board is a bit stale right now. Looks like 2 plug nickels is this boards communist version of Ghost. I made sure to put him on ignore after spending the day reading his nonsense. I feel like I have learned all I need from from him. Hope you give me a pass on using the feature .

Anyway I thought I would post my concern about today's events here like I did there since the main thing going on over there is NavII meme thread:

We are now on the clock. Dr. Malone is saying Omnicron may be the variant that gets us out of this situation. It may act like an attenuated virus and confer natural immunity while shutting out all other variants.

BUT ByeDones camp has two cards to play right now. The sixth circus has put the mandate back on the table an ace for now and Byedone has offered free tests for everyone who wants one. I will call this Joker the John Roberts card.

This trojan horse is meant to sway the Roberts types by allowing a temporary escape from the constitutional implications of forced vaccines. After all you can swab your nose once a week at home and bring the test in to your employer.

The Byedone admin has already admitted that soon the 100 employee mandate will move to anyone who has an employee.

At some point the free tests will be phased out after they hope SCOTUS gives them the nod.

Rahm Emmanuel brother of the Mengle clone "never let a crisis go to waste"

I am sure Thomas and Alito will see through the charade of free testing and look at the broader long term implications of ignoring the unconstitutional vaccine mandate and say that it can not be uncoupled from the free testing just to allow it to move forward. Remember you saw this here first.

'Everything happens for a reason': Why Tay Martin is happy with life's winding road that led him to OSU football​

Scott Wright
Oklahoman

STILLWATER — In February of 2020, Tay Martin was happy with his life where it was.

He had just finished a stellar junior season at Washington State, where he was emerging as a star receiver.

He felt he was in a good place to pursue his dream of reaching the NFL.

Then came March of 2020, and like all of us, Martin was dealt some curveballs he could’ve never seen coming.

This New Year’s Day, Martin will play his final college football game, a year late, and what seems like lightyears away from where he expected to finish his career.

The Oklahoma State super-senior receiver will help lead the ninth-ranked Cowboys against No. 5 Notre Dame at noon on Jan. 1 in the Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Arizona.

But the winding road that brought him here has come with some blessings amid the challenges.

Rewinding to 2020, Martin was in a promising position at Washington State. He wasn’t a disgruntled, diva receiver looking for greener grass.

But COVID-19 hit, and by August, the Pac-12 Conference revealed it would not play football that fall (a plan that later changed).

“I was fine with everything going on over there, other than the COVID situation,” Martin said.

Still, when the initial announcement of the season’s cancellation came, Martin decided he didn’t want to sit idly by. So he looked for a school where he could transfer and play.

He found Oklahoma State, and was granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA.

That allowed him to join a program with a track record for sending receivers to the NFL, and it would let him play out his college career much closer to his hometown of Houma, Louisiana, where his family — including his daughter, Reign, who will be 3 in February — lives.

Of course, the 2020 season didn’t go as Martin hoped. He played in only eight games, catching 15 passes for 149 yards.

But as a result of the COVID-19 impact on football, the NCAA had granted players an additional year of eligibility. With All-American receiver Tylan Wallace leaving OSU for the NFL, Martin saw a door opening.

Martin cashed in on the extra year of eligibility, and went to work trying to make himself the next in OSU’s long line of receivers with a pro future.

This season, he has 942 yards and seven touchdowns on 70 receptions, leading the team in all three categories.

He got to play for a Big 12 championship, and will conclude his career in a New Year’s Six bowl game — two things that wouldn’t have happened at Washington State.

His NFL stock has risen this year, as well, and he feels more prepared now for the next level, thanks to his close relationship with offensive coordinator and receivers coach Kasey Dunn.

“I learned a lot of X’s and O’s,” Martin said. “With Coach Dunn, in general, being the great receiver coach that he is, just getting to know as much as I did. I’m just grateful to learn those new aspects that will translate to the next level.”

And the life experiences OSU has provided haven’t been lost on Martin, either.

“Great relationships on and off the field,” he said. “Meeting new coaches, learning things on and off the field, just having the opportunity to go out there at Boone Pickens Stadium and make the most of it. I’m grateful for the opportunity and happy it happened the way it did.”

All that’s left is to cap it off with one final game. It’s not where or when he thought it would be, but Martin is satisfied with the direction life took him over the last 16 months.

“Everything happens for a reason,” he said. “I got to have this wonderful season with these guys and I look to end it off in the right way.”

Obviously his defense and overall strength are outstanding. It will be very difficult for anyone to take him down this year. However, I'm concerned about his offense. I haven't seen a lot from him other than the blast double leg. Thoughts?

Leftists are such pussies.

An interesting article that speculates that maybe the bad political decisions about race and inclusiveness by the Democrats has started to catch up with them. It will be interesting to see how they wriggle out of the dilemma.

On ESPN. Getting ready to start

Given that they're testing, and if they test the latest variant will almost certainly be found. And given that the latest variant is very contagious it will hit the FB team? They need to stop testing. Especially given how light the symptoms are.

Trump got the booster shot and was booed by his supporters for it.

Trump booed after revealing he got a Covid booster shot

You booing him too @Corndog2021? Is he going to die soon from blood clots?

So much for the SEC!

Wow!

His beard looks ridiculous. Discuss.

Saw he just committed to OU. Solid pickup for them he’s pretty talented. It looks like he’s gonna go 141 so I guess that means Demas is prolly staying at 149.

Confronting Inflation, Biden Administration Turns to Oil Industry It Once Shunned​

U.S. producers, chastised about climate change, balk at White House’s call for more drilling to rein in gasoline prices​

The relationship between the White House and U.S. oil companies has sunk to a new low at a moment when President Biden needs the industry most.
Oil company executives have become openly frustrated with a Biden administration that spent months shunning the industry, only to start urging in recent weeks that it produce more oil to alleviate rising gasoline prices.
In closed-door meetings with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm over recent weeks, oil executives have made few promises about raising output, say people familiar with the matter, and explained that it may be months before higher oil prices lead to resurgent U.S. production.
At a time when Wall Street is telling oil companies to tamp down spending and deliver profits after years of poor returns, oil company leaders say Mr. Biden’s positions on oil make it even harder for them to justify new spending to grow.

“The administration’s energy policy has not been very coherent,” said Mike Wirth, Chevron Corp.’s CVX 1.60% chief executive. “The signals from the administration have been very conflicting and that can just chill decision making.”
The Biden administration says that oil companies face no government constraints on drilling more in the short run, even as it presses the companies to shift long term to cleaner forms of energy in response to climate change.
“It’s important for the American oil-and-gas industry to address near-term energy demands while also recognizing that they need to begin transitioning their companies,” said Energy Department spokesman David Mayorga.

The friction is another setback for an administration concerned about inflation. Soaring prices have become a top concern for voters, according to a recent Wall Street Journal poll, clouding prospects for Democrats in next year’s midterm elections.
White House advisers have spent months exploring potential responses on gasoline prices, which, near a seven-year high, are central to rising costs in the economy. But the White House has found little cooperation from oil companies frequently targeted by Mr. Biden’s effort to prioritize climate change in federal policy.
As a candidate, Mr. Biden said the country must transition away from oil, and in his first months in office he moved for more stringent regulations on the industry, explored restrictions on oil production and revoked a permit for the Keystone XL pipeline.
When gasoline prices jumped this fall, officials first called on the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, not U.S. companies, to increase production, angering many industry executives, who argued that the Biden administration should first consider domestic policies to raise output.
In November, Ms. Granholm laughed at a question during a television interview about what “the Granholm plan” was to increase U.S. output, saying the idea was “hilarious” and that OPEC and global markets set production.
During a public meeting with the National Petroleum Council last week, she asked U.S. companies to boost production, and noted that the Interior Department since Mr. Biden took office has been approving permits for drilling on federal land at a faster clip than under former President Donald Trump.
“Please take advantage of the leases that you have, hire workers, get your rig count up,” Ms. Granholm said.
Increasing U.S. production may be beyond the administration’s control, even if it takes a friendlier stance with industry. Wall Street, scarred by nearly a decade of abysmal returns from oil and gas producers, has pressured companies to pledge fiscal austerity and to return more cash to shareholders.

I checked into a hotel in Orlando today, it is brand new and it has batting cages and a turf field for soccer and taking some infield. Has anyone ever seen this at a hotel before?

Wake Forest still wants to play in the Gator Bowl.

The lead story on CBS Radio News today is, “Last year 3.5 million people died in the US, due in part to COVID-19. The CDC says they expect the total number of deaths to grow by 15,000 in 2022.”

OK. Probably a true statement. But the death rate of 9,500 people per day (3.5 million/year) is the same as before COVID.

Why are these bastards doing this?
