We had a temp worker call OSHA on us, he was completely wrong about his complaint, but OSHA cited us anyway for other stuff.  I was the point person on the audit.  They mostly look for paperwork.  They have no way to assess whether the paperwork was done properly, just that it exists.  We were missing some required paperwork.

So, I think if some company has a record that everyone was vaxxed they are good to go.
good to go on the vax issue, but as you say, if OSHA makes the effort to show up, they will find something

I find it odd that Aidan O'Connell isn't on the list. He's the starting QB for Purdue, and because he legitimately won the job, not because he was thrust into it due to injury and nobody on scholarship is healthy enough to play... Not bad for a walk-on.

no way Bama wins by 31

Id be surprised if aggie beats Auburn
Auburn is definitely a tough opponent. I’m hoping our running game will carry the day and maybe keep Bo Nix in the pocket. I think this game really comes down to how well Nix plays. We’re going to have between 150-220 yards rushing and 120-180 passing yards, and score 28-34 points. Question is will we hold Auburn under 30 points?

Ags caught Alabama sleeping.  They could certainly lose any 1 of Auburn, LSU, and Ole Miss. Before the season I predicted that the parity in the SEC West would end up with each of those teams trading 2-3 losses amongst them.  At the time I thought Alabama was above the fray, but apparently not.
Bullshit. Florida came pretty close to beating them a week or two before, and Florida ain’t that good this year. We disrupted Bryce Young enough, sacked him etc just enough to allow our offense the chance to score and they did. But it wasn’t nothing Florida didn’t do to em. We did get lucky with the KOR and I doubt we would have beat them on the road. Got to Give Bama credit they hung in there and fought their way back into the game. We still had to have a game winning drive a fg attempt. 

As much as we’d like to make them out to be God they do lose a game once in awhile. And this A&M team isn’t bad, despite the puzzling losses to Ark and MSU.

I could hit my season win total on Auburn this weekend.

Please do not ask about my MSU under and Northwestern over

I don't consider those losses to be puzzling at all.  In my opinion, they're completely expected, given the parity in the division and the relative quality of all of the teams being discussed.  The ags also struggled with a terrible Colorado team, and the starting QB threw 3 picks against Kent State.

The Alabama win is the aberration here. And I agree, this year's Alabama team isn't the world-beater that the other recent ones have been.  But they're still the king until they're not.

I completely expect at least one more loss from A&M against LSU, Ole Miss, or Auburn.  And it could be two.  Not knocking the ags at all, that's just the state of parity in the SEC West right now.

I know he was mayor of Cincinnati, but having Jerry Springer on Gameday this week, after one of his former "dancers" showed up in the news this week, feels like not a coincidence.

We were supposed to fly to Munich tomorrow. That's not happening. Munich is on lockdown. So now we will fly directly to Lisbon from ORD, on Wednesday. 

Thank goodness for everything being refunded.
