Kansas has a speedy running back, but ,aside from that not much at all. Losing to Kansas is a head coach's worst nightmare. Ask Charlie Strong...
I had high hopes for Charlie....guess Kansas is waiting for basketball,where they will be highly ranked all year before getting upset in March Madness...

I'll bet the death rate is above average also.
Total Florida deaths a tad over 16,000, number per day decreasing due to earlier detection, better treatment plans etc. same for number of hospitalizations.

We have become "a nation of leisure" just like the progressives predicted 60 years ago....

"...Trump World’s desperate Hunter Biden pseudo-scandal backfired on them in record time...

...In the course of one week, we’ve moved from The New York Post’s supposed “blockbuster” proving that Hunter Biden had arranged a meeting between an official with Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian gas company whose board the younger Biden sat on, and then-Vice President Joe Biden to a contrived controversy over Twitter banning the story from its platform because it contained personal email addresses and phone numbers and we ended up with reports about Rudy Giuliani’s apparent involvement in a clumsy scheme to launder hacked emails through a Seth Rich-truther at a computer shop, the likelihood that the emails were forged and the FBI investigating the whole thing as a disinformation campaign undertaken by foreign adversaries. When they rolled out the “story” on Monday, they probably didn’t expect headlines like “Rudy: Only ‘50/50’ Chance I Worked With a ‘Russian Spy’ to Dig Dirt on Bidens” to be prevalent by Saturday.

It’s been a Helluva ride.

One should keep in mind that while the conservative media have run dozens of stories this week with “smoking gun” in their headlines, there’s absolutely nothing here. ..."
Nothing but Rudy's booze breath...

"...We talked to supporters in strong favor of QAnon and others know little about it but none we talked to want to condemn it.”

Many of them believe the president’s refusal to condemn the group is a subtle form of support for it. The first rallygoer Tuchman spoke with wore a white T-shirt that read, “QAnon: WWG1WGA” to show her support for the conspiracy group. Then, while speaking with two women, Tuchman asked, “Do you think he [Trump] has your back by not criticizing it?”

“Yeah,” the woman responded as she nodded her head. “I really do.”

The next rallygoer was asked should Trump denounce the QAnon conspiracy. He flatly responded, “No.” When Tuchman described the conspiracy theories as “crazy stuff,” the woman standing next to the man interjected saying, “No, that’s what you guys try to make us believe, crazy stuff.”

Not deterred, Tuchman pressed further: “But do you believe that there are Democrats and celebrities that are in a **** ring?”

“Yes, I do,” she said.

When Tuchman asked the woman to explain the origin of the conspiracy theory, she struggled to come up with a solid answer.

“Where does that come from?” the woman repeated. “Why don’t you ask the little kids?”

As Tuchman noted that there is no evidence to support the QAnon claims, the woman pivoted and asked what news outlet he works for. After learning he works for CNN, she quickly retreated with no further defense of the conspiracy...."
NBC interviewed a Pennsylvania woman who swears to have seen a video of Hillary torturing a little girl and was convinced it was real.

New York officials this week shut down a wedding expected to draw 10,000 guests amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) confirmed on Saturday.

The event was scheduled to take place on Monday in the Williamsburg neighborhood of New York City. However, it was outside the targeted red, orange or yellow zones tracking clusters of COVID-19 cases.

Beth Garvey, special counsel and senior adviser to the governor, told reporters during the Saturday briefing that “the information that our investigation revealed was that upwards of 10,000 individuals were planned to attend.” Garvey said the order was served alongside the New York City Sheriff’s Office on Friday night.
