New Publication in JAMA Intern Med: Opioid prescrptions for family members are associated with overdose among individuals who do not receive opioid prescriptions, based on a recent study by Nazleen Khan, @JoshuaJGagne, and colleagues @HarvardChanSPH Link: https://t.co/jWdBqafQam
@JordanE23_ @VolCreatures@border_vol They don’t know atp. I have heard there is an organization trying to collect all the data but it sounds like sour grapes and running with a story he heard. (Also it is bound to happen when it is unregulated - doesn’t mean you are being screwed)
Now that it's over, I've never seen a fanbase delusional as Tennessee—and this is coming from a card-carrying member of a delusional fanbase. Haven't even won their conference since the '90s, and carried themselves last two weeks like they're Bama.
I'm actually kinda impressed.
For the record I already said I'd be fine with Texas (and in turn SMU) being out in favor of teams with more overall losses, but good wins (ala South Carolina)
Unfortunately, I don't think it'll happen

I keep hearing: “South Carolina lost to Alabama and Ole Miss — how could they get in the playoff over them?”
Here’s the deal: Head-to-head only matters when all else is equal. If one team has a clearly better resume, head-to-head is irrelevant.
It’s the same reason NIU doesn’t make the playoff for beating Notre Dame.
South Carolina’s resume is far and away better than Alabama’s or Ole Miss’s:
• 6-game win streak
• 4 wins over Top 25 teams
Don’t tell me head-to-head matters when:
• The committee ranked Alabama over Tennessee (despite Alabama losing to them).
• South Carolina over LSU (despite South Carolina losing to them).
The numbers don’t lie:
• Oklahoma went 2-6 in the SEC (avg. loss by 17.6 PPG).
• Vandy went 3-5 in the SEC (avg. loss by 8.5 PPG).
Alabama lost to both on the road.
South Carolina beat both on the road by 26 and 21 points.
SC’s resume:
• One bad game all year.
• Lost their QB in the 2nd half of a 3-point loss to LSU.
• Nearly won as 3-TD underdogs at Alabama.
Combined record of SC’s losses: 26-10
Combined record of Alabama’s losses: 22-14
It’s simple:
• SC is on a roll (6 straight wins).
• They’ve beaten more ranked teams.
• Their losses are better quality.
It’s down to SC vs. Bama for the final playoff spot.
The committee’s choice: brand vs. deserving.
Top 12 teams in CFB after the regular season brought to you by @AxiaTimeLLC
Yeah I got @GamecockFB in there at 5. You can’t tell me I’m wrong if you have watched them play
@owentooelve Yup, Oregon wins the Big10, Arizona state win the Big12 with Colorado in thier heels, yet pac 12 had nothing.
It's too late, but it's all out in the open now.
These are side effects of taking opioids. There are pathophysiologic reason for these symptoms. We need to stop treating people who develop these symptoms as “bad” and instead try to understand what’s going on and how we can help achieve the best patient-centric outcome
4/To be clear, the "non-misusers" who met OUD criteria endorsed - usually- 2-3 symptoms, these ones: *unsuccessful efforts to cut down or control use, *craving
*spending a great deal of time obtaining or using or recovering from opioid use."
But what does it mean?
Having done this job for eons, most of the storylines are well-worn and familiar. That's why the rise of Indiana and Army is so fun. Fresh places, faces and storylines. Instead of harrumphing about strength of schedule, how about enjoying their improbable journey to this point?
@VOLNUGS It is also possible that Indiana only beats one bowl eligible team that is 6-6. So yes, zero teams with a winning record is firmly on the table.
