more goal post moving using BS to scare people

fact - most people on earth are A+, its THE most common blood type

its like saying if you have brown eyes you are most at risk its BS

I thought O+ was the most common blood type?

If they have the game, the stadium will be full. We have been itching, begging, pleading, for something to distract us from Covid 19 and racial tensions.

Maybe you are but JBE is not ready to let the spotlight go away from him. JBE is not ready for you all to be distracted. You really think JBE cares if LSU football goes on this season or not? Newsflash, he doesn't.

As someone who has worked with many people from Japan, South Korea and China over the last 10 years I can tell you the full bow is not used regularly. That's mostly for family members, formal occasions and people who are much higher up on the social ladder than you. In common society it's usually just a quick bow.

Is there any real reason why you would be against it though. I mean a nod in some way is kind of like a bow.

I prefer a hello and a nod.

I agree with this. When I say bow I don't mean going all the way down to where you're looking at the ground. Even most Asian cultures don't do that anymore unless it's a person from a much higher social group or family members (parents, grandparents).

But I think a hello and a quick nod/quick bow would be best.

Obviously West vs East on this one. Historically in the East, especially among Eastern Asian civilizations, the formal greeting is a bow compared to the formal greeting of a hand shake or a double kiss on the cheeks in the West.

Due to the pandemic could we see a long term change to more of a bow vs. the more traditional Western greetings? The bow of course has the advantage in that there is no physical contact. I mean we've already gotten to the point now where I won't shake hands with anyone that isn't a good friend or family member.

Never mind the virus hasn't hit Asian countries like Japan, South Korea or Singapore nearly as bad as it's hit the US and Europe.

As much as some may be against it or want to fight it, would it be better long term to adopt the bow as a formal greeting in the west as compared to the hand shake or especially the double kiss on the cheeks? Or in the very least adopt some sort of greeting that does not include physical contact with the other person?

I don't give a shite if there aren't ANY fans in Tiger Stadium for that game as long as the Texas locker room is hot as piss.

---

Might be the one time where we want a day game at Tiger Stadium. Have it at high noon with no A/C in the Texas locker room.

No doubt though that it becomes much easier for Texas to come out of Tiger Stadium with a win if there's no fans in the stands. I want them to be subjected to the full Tiger Stadium experience, including going home with a loss. :lol:

I don't disagree that the game might not ever be played. But Texas isn't getting out of it scot free either. They're either playing the game in Tiger Stadium (whether this year or a future year) or they are paying LSU a good chunk of change to get out of the contract.

It won’t be. Too much maneuvering would need to take place for just one game.

---

It's one game. In the face of the virus the maneuvering isn't that hard. Where there's a will there's a way.

What's Texas going to do if the whole season is canceled? The contract with still stand, they will still owe us a game at Tiger Stadium. They'd have to maneuver to fit LSU in on a future schedule anyway.

Why not just make it easier now and start planning for it? It doesn't even have to be next year, it could be a few years in the future wherever both Texas and LSU have room. But it can be done and it wouldn't be that hard.

Nah they let thousands of people protest in the streets. Why would filling Tiger Stadium be any different?

---

Because you know and I know that JBE will never hold protestors the same standard that he would hold other events. JBE will say that the protests are far more important and therefor they have a right to protest. That on the other hand LSU fans do not have the right to attend a game at Tiger Stadium if it's not safe.

Look at Florida, they shut down Miami Beach over the 4th of July weekend. They didn't shut down any of the protests. The protestors are always going to be held to a different standard. Most of the media is still trying to convince us that the protests AREN'T the reason we're having a new surge of the virus when we all know it's the truth. It's sickening but it's the truth.

Guarantee you JBE will shut down college football in the state of Louisiana before he allows 100,000 fans inside Tiger Stadium this fall. And since LSU is a state university JBE does have the ultimate say. It'll be 25-35,000 allowed in at most.

I don't want Texas coming in and leaving thinking "well what's the big deal about Death Valley, it's no better than Darrell K. Royal Stadium. Death Valley is overrated". I want them going out of there literally shaking realizing that while the atmosphere at Texas games is big, Death Valley at night is a whole different animal. I want them going home with a loss and getting to have the complete LSU experience and never wanting to come back. :lol:

No Alabama for UGA? I'll take it since it helps our chance to win the East again

Yep any other inter division games had to be scraped. But I would just push everything back a year. So Bama-UGA would play in Tuscaloosa in 2021.
