Never forget that Texas lost a four-win Florida team last year, that fired its coach two weeks later.
Steve Sarkisian seems to have a lot to say about everyone else lately, without buttoning up what's going on with his own football team
Another midwit healthcare take.
Other countries have better life expectancy than the US. That is not the same as better healthcare outcomes.
Life expectancy is primarily affected by things that kill the young. In the US, that is violent crime, car accients, overdose, and suicide. You can argue that healthcare might be able to influence the last two, but only minimally. Those things are driven by lifestyle choices. Add in our obesity rate, which is also only marginally mitigated by proper healthcare, and you see why our life expectancy is lower than the rest of the OECD.
We are fat, violent, depressed, and like driving on freeways.
Now, if you acutally get sick, there's nowhere else you'd rather be. We have some of the best outcomes in cancer, stroke, heart attack, and trauma. The wealthy from around the globe travel to our hospitals for care. There are entire wings at some prominent hospitals for ultra rich international patients. They aren't going to the NHS for their care.
We excel at coverage for actue care. 98% of Americans are within 90 mintues of a cardiologist who can open up the arteries in your heart in the middle of a heart attack. Meanwhile, in canada, that number is around 80%. They have 10x worse access to acute coronary care than the US.
If you're going to have a heart attack, you want to have it in the US.
If you're going to have any health issue requiring high specialty care, you want to be in the US.
.@TexasTechFB@Jacob_R_10 is the most productive CFB player in the USA over the past 2 seasons...He is dripping with instincts & production. How high in the draft is too high?? #WreckEm#BaldysBreakdowns
The 55 points Texas Tech scored in the first half were the most Houston has allowed in any half since Kelvin Sampson took over in 2014, per ESPN Research.
Vanderbilt claimed these ranked wins this season:
#11 South Carolina
#10 LSU
#15 Missouri
#19 Tennessee
All four ended up unranked and combined to go 3-24 against FBS teams with winning records. Whatever cushion you think the SEC receives from the media/polls, it's bigger.
Texas Tech's defense finished with the top stop rate of the past decade at 83.5%, best we've seen since 2012 Alabama.
