I was referring to someone's post about a state receiving more federal dollars than it paid into the federal budget; like North Dakota. Neither comment had anything to do with state budgets.

Um, North Dakota has been in that category for generations.

MSUM killed the entire Theatre Arts department, among other cuts. Not covid related.

They were imposed by the community's police powers, through the public health department.

I'll show my age here, but quarantines were "common" in my youth. In the 60s I saw, or was affected by public health lockdowns in response to scarlet fever, tuberculosis and polio. Families were closed in their homes until they were clear of infection. I wouldn't be against similar measures as we move forward in today's pandemic.

There is nothing funny about it. Not cramer's use of the word, nor your attempt at juvenile 'humor' by repeating it. Grow up. Or better yet, develop some empathy.

Not at all funny.

It is a whole lot faster and cheaper to keep people out of hospitals than it is to add beds and equipment. That's why it is so vital to stop (or, more accurately, slow) the spread of this damn virus. It is going to be painful, but from everything I've heard from my friends and family in healthcare, that's the answer.

Most hospitals and clinics where I live are not letting people in the door without a full screening. In spite of that, beds are filling fast and there are no ventilators available for new patients.

Just had a conversation with a friend who's a top level exec with Texas department of public health. I trust this guy. We need to listen to health care providers.

Does this thread really belong in the hockey subsection?

I’m sitting in Denver International Airport right now and I’ve never seen this place so underpopulated. There are a lot of people who are NOT flying. I wouldn’t be, but I’m on my way to work.

Eight years ago High Point's bonds were rated junk by Moody's. $700 million worth of campus buildings were constructed using debt.

That's not how I read it: they're talking about topping out at ACHA DI, not NCAA DI

Cornell's strength of schedule is 33rd. BC is 20. Clarkson is 41

I have regional tickets for Loveland. Wouldn’t mind seeing UND there, but rather watch them on tv from out East.

Larry and his brother Darryl were a couple classy guys. Great character.

Loveland Ski Area is 128 miles from Loveland, CO.

I have my West regional tickets in hand. The Budweiser Center is six miles from my house!

I was at Magness, and respectfully disagree with your analysis: for all but a couple of short stretches, I felt UND controlled the action. It was very tough for DU to develop anything; at several times they were stood up at the blue line and never really gained any zone presence. For most of the game, UND was out-shooting DU pretty significantly.

The last two times I flew Frontier I had 6 hour mechanical delays (each time)

I _may_ hold the record for being ejected and re-admitted to the old Ralph: three times out and four times in for me during one game!

The Eagles average over 5200 per game in the Bud. I'm really happy to see the West Regionals placed in Loveland, as I'm moving there in a month.

Sat in front of a bunch of SCSU fans last night. I asked them how it feels to lose to a bunch of philosophy majors. I did feel sorry for the little kid who was all decked out in his Husky wear.

But...Penn State got a rink for free. And, iirc, an endowment to pay the ongoing costs.
