    Playing off Lent thread, what religion are you?

    I highly recommend Jonathan Haidt’s book, the righteous mind. He doesn’t get into if a given religion is true or false, but religions role in moral psychology.

    Playing off Lent thread, what religion are you?

    This drinking conversation reminds me of the old joke I learned growing up in a Baptist church. How do you keep a Baptist from drinking all your beer? Invite two of them.

    The MSU math instructor email that has gone viral nationally

    That reporting requirement isn’t really enforced at all institutions equally. I usually only got asked about attendance for specific students on academic probation or athletes. I rarely took role past the first week, even in small lectures. Forget about a 200+ person lecture. Not a baby sitter.

    Baseball Coaching/Playing Experts

    Here’s a pretty good breakdown of the change. Long story short: it doesn’t seem to hurt statistically and it’s more comfortable/ may extend careers.

    Flu

    Adding on without getting too in the weeds. This year’s flu vaccine includes a sub component of the H3N2 Croatian strain. The most prevalent flu strain in the U.S. now is H3N2 Subclade K. Like the paper says, probably want prevent but reduces severity. Influenza mutation is a crazy thing.

    What a damn joke.

    Allow for another option: Incompetence I know one of the committee members. I have seen his decision making for years. I’ve heard his logic in decision making. I have talked to him a few times. He’s a man of integrity and he’s a moron. He has no business being a FBS AD at this point. He has no...

    Brian Kelly’s son…

    The headline said he ran out alone and his mom, from pictures online, is not blonde. I took that to mean he was alone on the field. I thought the 2 women and the man behind him must be for a different senior. Maybe I was wrong.

    Brian Kelly’s son…

    No one showed up for him on his senior night? I get his dad not being there, but no mom, sister, aunt/uncle or someone? No girlfriend? Blitz is right - special.

    I have 2 tix to see Dan Friday in Atlanta, but something came up. I know there are several Hardcore History fans on here that might be interested in seeing Dan live. Let me know if anyone is interested.

    $62 million for a high school stadium…

    I live 10 minutes from this stadium. It’s nice. Zoning is a suggestion in this area, especially for athletes. My annual HOA neighborhood graduation banner usually has 3 to 5 different HS listed on it. We have a few rentals in the neighborhood and we’ve had several different D1 athletes /...
