Charlie replied to the topic So how is this going to work… in the forum Football 4 years, 11 months ago
Why not try. Where do students go that has no covid risks? If we shutdown schools and colleges we will have quite a mess when covid reaches its end. That option is bad when you don’t even know the date for when we are dealing with only common flu. What about the thoughts of others that want to take manageable steps and continue with their…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Media Guide in the forum Football 4 years, 11 months ago
What if schools that wanted to continue athletics are just free to do so. Additionally, what if people were free to develop another sports league if they cared to do so. Then people could freely chose which one they care to support and watch. Oddly, that seems to be how we got to here. If you want to improve on something that is already…[Read more]

I get that there are questions about the 2020 season, but could they throw us a bone and release the media guide and hold the conference media day? I assume the guide is done and could the media day be done with social distancing? We could use the squirt of good news.
As for the season, I am happy to try. Maybe without fans. Incrementally, is…[Read more] -

Sadly 2020 has had more unwanted news than we should be asked to absorb. Take care.

Charlie replied to the topic Would you rather? in the forum Football 4 years, 11 months ago
I would like to see a start in September possibly with an 11 game season. Likely we may need to play the 9 scheduled opponents but start the first week of September to create more flexibility to reschedule games that have issues. I think playing games for TV is quite doable but some will choose not to play and some may miss 2 weeks if tested…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Possible boycott in the forum Football 4 years, 11 months ago
I support choices. If you are not comfortable going to school don’t. If you are not comfortable playing sports, working, going outside don’t. If you don’t go to school, play sports, work, etc., you probably can’t expect the benefits that come from the activity. It is the performance of the activity that provides those benefits. Should we…[Read more]

Just looking for the media guide, but I will bite. “What politician didn’t minimize this in the weeks after the China travel ban” for $500 Alex.
My question is when the toll from covid drops to the rate for the common flu 2 years ago (61K) which was noticed by pretty much no one, will we consider things back to normal, maybe somewhere before…[Read more]

It is July and no Media Guide. Alot is going on but I would hope that activity would push along. Can that be done working from home?

Charlie replied to the topic Morgan Scalley vs Oregon and Texas in the forum Football 4 years, 12 months ago
Even a good defense with no holes can have things go wrong. The bad punt and injury put us in a hole we did not make it out of. It slipped away because it just happened. I think if we played 10 times without Blackmon getting injured, Utah would win a good share of 10. Oregon was a very good team and things did not work out for us that day.…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Up and coming coaches to keep on the radar in the forum Football 4 years, 12 months ago
Must take care as this is determined. There are 11 other schools in the Pac also doing everything they can to get to the top, most of them trying to overtake our position. Almost all have more resources, history and offer some great things. Many have swung for the fence and come up short of where we are at currently. Think of what UCLA has…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic Utah versus BYU? – the next game in the forum Football 5 years ago
BYU has issues themselves going beyond replacing players from last year. The overall talent gap is great enough to overcome position by position matches where BYU as the advantage of experience. Could any BYU player start at Utah? I think the Utah team can come together faster then BYU even with the freshmen matched up with experienced BYU players.

The mask is an easy thing, very reasonable. Closing businesses, I think is the wrong thing at this point.

Charlie replied to the topic Can I get an amen? in the forum Misc 5 years ago
My brother (79) saw a doctor last week about something unrelated but talked about covid. The doctor summed it up clinically, if you are at or above your life expectancy given health issues and age, covid is a big problem. If you are below, not so much of a problem. He is healthy so has little concern. Many people do not understand that…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic What if in the forum Football 5 years ago
If we are going to quarantine a football team if someone test positive on the team, the season will not be workable. If you allow other players to continue if they test negative, the season is much more possible. If you allow players that test positive but are asymptomatic to continue, disruptions may decrease but create other risks. Oddly,…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic What happens if… in the forum Football 5 years ago
College needs to be open to those that chose to continue their education. Colleges should be staffed with those that feel they can safely work. Athletics should be available to those that chose to participate. No one should be forced to give up their education or job and no one should be forced into college or their job. It does make sense to…[Read more]

Charlie replied to the topic So what's the difference? Scalley vs. Ndiaye? in the forum Football 5 years ago
There are no news programs on TV currently. There are a variety of opinion programs and some political groups prioritize exporting opinion more than others. Opinion vs news gets easier to recognize when the title of the report emphasizes an opinion, the talking head repeats the opinion several times, a banner running at the bottom repeats the…[Read more]
