Most hospitals (especially the small rural ones still open) likely only have about 3 or 4 ICU beds.

I will be curious to see what the UA does on this. LSU hired a pretty liberal president. Who knows?
I got the vax…haven’t acquired a 3rd nipple or a 2nd left pinky toe as of yet. Got it mainly because I fly a lot. I still don’t like the idea of having to show my vax card for something I am paying YOU for.
I guess I have mixed feelings.

Arkansas has a law on the books that bans vaccine "passports" does it not? Louisiana does not have such a law, plus they have a very leftist school president and a Democrat governor. I figure, at least for now, most of the rest of the SEC will just ignore what LSU did.
Alabama, Georgia, Texas, Missippi, Florida, Tennessee and S Carolina also have those same types of laws on the books I believe.
That means that a university can't do it even if they wanted. Kentucky (because it doesnt have those laws) and Vandy (because it's private) are the ones to watch.
Georgia already camw out today and said they're going full bore, no matter what.
You have to realize that teams like Bama, Auburn, A&M, etc don't want any part of having their home field advantage watered down. Alabama has one of the lowest shot rates in the country Arkansas will do what it always does and prioritize "integrity" over any types of winning advantages if they are at all pushed.
If the Arkansas admin were smart, they'd just stay quiet in everything and not wade into the situation at all.

Should be interesting to see how Fayetteville responds to this.

Fayetteville should've ended BB&B long ago.
Posted on 8/26/21 at 1:33 pm to gohogs141
We all know the glorified janitor will cancel it to virtue signal to his hippy friends and Democrat party

I agree, hopefully they cancel it.
All that gross revenue coming into the area, supporting local bidnesses and jobs.
Maybe they will raise taxes in the area again
Bikes Blues and BBQ has 150k-250k people come in which would make it 2-3.5x more people than a Razorback football game for 5 days. So in 5 days we get the revenue of 10 Razorback games, but loud noises make you guys sad so let’s cancel it.

I'm all for it. The traffic is already bad here for an area of its size.

Oh my the traffic is bad so let’s kill revenue and taxes money to fix the roads.
We can always just charge the citizens more.
How California of you.

Look I hate BBBBQ as much as anyone else, but using UAMS modeling as a reasoning is a terrible reason.
UAMS modeling has been comically bad, and the newest forecast will be no different.
COVIDestim.org's model (Harvard, Yale, Stanford) shows cases dropping rapidly in the near future. Scott Gottlieb, who has a history of being overzealous in COVID predictions, says cases have peaked in the southern states.
Before last week's school testing surge, cases had peaked on August 6. See surge in 0-18 testing below:
These cases picked up by increased testing are children who very rarely require hospitalization. Hospitalizations are already down 150 from their peak on August 16. By the time BBBBQ rolls around, hospitalizations will likely be half current numbers or even less.

I don't care for the trash they leave and the noise pollution. Keep Fayetteville clean and peaceful.
It doesn't matter as the city will nip it in the bud or the older generations will die out as the younger ones don't as much care for it.

Glad they didn't but I'm a little surprised that WRMC went after BBBBQ but didn't say a peep about football
Posted on 8/27/21 at 4:42 pm to gohogs141
Looks like it’s postponed. The university cancelled their hosting contracts and the city council went into secret zoom session to pull the plug on BBB Q

UA canceled it contracts, yet is hosting 75000 people in a stadium next week???

It’s because this was about getting rid of Bikes and Blues not keeping people safe.

Never underestimate the cuckness and cowardess of NWA.
I’ve seen a bunch of faculty and other annoying people in the community boards pushing for them to cancel football games now.
You guys broke the levees with Bikes and Blues.

Move it to LR. They will welcome the revenue.

Have it at WMS on the golf course. Then have a reality tv series called fights at WMS. Keep count of broken canopies and empty whiskey bottles. Who has the most will be declared the winner.
