No doubt...you would think that with all the research dollars that pour into AU someone could discover a cure for JABA!

Should have been a press conference.  Would have come across much stronger

I disagree...a press conference would have fed the media fire more.  Best to put this to bed and move on.

And caught the attention off a lot of recruits

When you do something that no one else is doing...it is the definition of unique.  I loved the way it was handled and presented...and it looks like the recruits felt the same way.

Thread reminds me of Buddy I've mentioned it before but Buddy could play OT for Auburn. He also gives one hell of a concert

 

Yes he does...saw him in 1972 at Legion Field...with Three Dog Night!

I’ve heard that Wade Christopher is available 

Can we just get him for S & C coach...

As stated by the article, Harsin is choosing to not answer a question in regards to whether he is complying with policy. Why wouldn't the media ask him? It's their job. Harsin comes off poorly by choosing not to answer. 

Actually, I think Harsin early on has said that he will not be talking about the vaccine status of himself or anyone else in the program...it's private.  The fact that the University may have a new policy has no bearing on his initial stance on the subject.  The press can ask all kinds of questions, but if it involves his or anyone else's vax status, the answer should be the same.  To do otherwise would be unprincipled and do more harm to his rep than this.  Take a stance, then hold your ground!

Do people forget that Harsin actually had experts come in and educate the team about the vaccine? I highly doubt an anti vaxxer would do that. He has also said himself he’s not anti vax (which was also nobodies business in the first place). 

I think some fans care more about what the media says than Harsin and his players do. And that’s all I’m gonna say about this. 

And it could be that Harsin is mum on the vaccine to support those on the team that are not vaxed for whatever their reason may be.  Honestly, I want someone who is going to stick up for our guys.

Goodman is a Finebaum wannabe...except PF can actually write a good story.  Goodman was getting is rear handed to him for the POS article last week.  Finebaum would have stood by the story and made you like it...he wouldn't have resorted to a puff piece to get his butt out of the proverbial sling.

Most frauds start out successful then people catch on and they have to split. Unless you’re the Auburn leadership then you give them 7 more years on a contract.

I’m happy the players are finally really learning the sport. It’s sad we were led by a fraud for so many years. 
 

Still blows my mind when “professional” pundits on tv or radio say Auburn is going to regret letting go of Gus. They either A. have no intel or even thoroughly analyzed the situation or B. they don’t know anything about the sport. 
 

 

I'm going with B...

Anything but a bubble screen!  Please...not that!

I’m certainly not in the know on this subject and am usually quoting something I heard on tv. Relative to the testing for antibodies came from the use of plasma from people that have survived the virus. The information I read was that anybody levels are tested before accepting donors. I (probably wrong) assumed if all have the antibodies, why test before accepting individuals as donors. That was my elementary logic.

That’s a legit question…if I’m not mistaken, each person who gets the virus has a unique reaction, for them.  What I mean is not everyone has the same level of antibodies in reaction to the virus.  If you are using the plasma of infected survivors, you want a high level of antibodies in the plasma since you are treating severely ill victims to supercharge their immune system…I mean really crank it up since they’re in real jeopardy of dying.  This is probably why they were screening donors.

that is probably not true. aids is a virus and it mutates so often they cannot come up with a working vaccine to stop it. they can keep you alive but you best be hitting those meds and some still die.

You defeated your own argument…why do you think the drugs work on the mutated AIDS virus?  Maybe because it is less virulent than the original?  The mission of any virus is to spread…to propagate the species if you will.  If it mutates to a more virulent version it’s self-defeating.

I would only agree with this process if those that had the virus were tested to ensure they still show antibodies ( not a medical person so don’t know if I am stating that correctly). I understand they do this before utilizing in Plasma therapy for covid.

I’m pretty sure that if you have the antibodies they don’t go away.  The antibodies are markers for this specific virus.  They simply tell the right “attack cells” where to go and what to attack.  There were several reasons why the initial virus was so virulent, especially with the elderly (weakened immune systems due to age).  For others it was because our antibodies didn’t recognize it…so one’s body was late reacting or it over reacted by throwing everything at the virus including the kitchen sink (causing severe swelling, especially in the respiratory system).  The younger you are the stronger your immune system…this is why the virus has less of an effect on this demographic.

Bottom line: if you are in the high risk group, get the vaccine.  If you’ve had the virus, you’re probably in the clear.  If you haven’t had either, protect yourself.

Wouldn't affect my opinion at all one bit. 

Nobody's saying to force a needle in peoples arms, but it IS being shown that when people are given accurate, educated information on the virus and on how the vaccine was developed and produced, that a majority of people will choose on their own to get the vaccine. 

 

When little or conflicting information is given and leaders, "like Harsin and Kay Ivey", just say do whatever you want and feel is right... then a majority of people just become more confused, buy into bad, unfactual information, and become more vaccine hesitant. 

Nope...when it comes to something like this you have one shot to get it right from a trust standpoint.  In the early spring we had momentum on getting the vaccine...widespread momentum.  Then the J&J vaccine was poo pooed on and that momentum stopped in its tracks.  No amount of education or communications messaging can put that genie back in the bottle.  If you want to criticize the Guv then call her out on the roll-out of the vaccine in Alabama...which was horrible.  I live here and traveled to Mississippi to get the vaccine...twice for both shots.  They had their act together (easy to navigate website, logistics by the National Guard)!  Gives new meaning to the old phrase "Thank God for Mississippi!"

You're right.

A recent Harvard study was cited as saying that the number may be as much as 5 X under reported.

And that's a good question.  The mean age for reported VAERS deaths  is 74.

When you start talking accuracy of numbers.  A lot of people don't believe the 600,000 number either.

The numbers are hard to believe since they've monkeyed around with them for political purposes.  For instance, were some GSW victims counted towards the Covid numbers?  Here is the problem...did the victim die of Covid or die with Covid?  That is the question...

I wonder if he changes his tune when unvacinnated players start missing games. Pros and Cons? Seriously like their are any comparable cons. 

I wonder if there are some on this board that will change their mind about pushing the vaccine if a player has to miss games because the vaccine caused another health issue.  It can and has happened.

This is a personal choice to make and it should stay that way.  And, if a player has already had the virus in no way should they be forced or coerced into taking the vaccine just to push the team's percentages up...recovered virus victims should be counted towards the total.

Wade Christopher...😎

Coach, I would add to the scout team practicing holding on our guys with this...I hope our receivers practiced all week with someone hanging all over them.  I guess I do not know what pass interference is any more.  You would have thought we were playing a game in Central Park in NY with all the mugging going on.  This has to be corrected with regards to the refs.  The NFL solved it by not allowing the DBs to touch the receivers after 5 yards...do we need a rule change to help the refs?  SMH...

Tutt's early punt return set us up for a short field for our second td. Totally changed the game at an early juncture.

 There has been such a castration of the secondary that it's almost impossible to play tight man-to-man coverage unless you play for bammer. They could call it on almost every play the way it's being called today unless you play for bammer. It was nice to see the refs let both teams play. Just my very biased opinion.

I fixed it for you Bird...

Bingo. We got cute on first down last night. Too many perimeter runs and screen passes. Would be interesting to see how the number would have been different if we had committed to the downhill running game early instead of this dink-and-dunk perimeter stuff. 

To be fair though, the 1-16 is a little misleading. We didn't use a lot of tempo last night, and Tulane was milking the play clock on every play. We only got 5 possessions in the 2nd half, and one of them ended after 1 play (with the fumble). We also sat on the ball in the redzone on the final drive instead of scoring, which we could have easily done. Take that into account and it is likely that 4, 7, 8, 10, and 16 would have  been passes. Most of the rest of the numbers would have come up if we had committed to the inside run game early instead of trying to throw underneath and run to the perimeter.

 

From what I saw, Tulane sold out to stop the run by putting 8-9 guys in the box.  Now I'm no mathematician but its kind of hard to block them all if they out number your guys.  Having said that, one way to counter this is to use screens and play action passing.  Gus finally figured it out in the second quarter.  IMHO, he continues to force the issue when the defense is showing you otherwise...that's just being stubborn.

So...does Wade Christopher have any eligibility left? Bird, you should be in the know about this!
