I want to offer a hearty thanks to Ira, Keikla and the others on here that are in the health care industry. We rely on you to keep fighting the good fight.

I hear Osterholm often on the radio and probably depend on his info too much. I just heard an interview from yesterday and he said the statistics say 160-214 million in US infected over the next 6-8 months. Also at very best 200k will die and up to 1.7M.

Here's an example of how they are different. It compares the number of cases of each virus in days after the 60th case - they are similar. It also shows the number of deaths on the same timeline. it might be one reason why Osterholm and other epidemiologists are so alarmed that it could explode. Source is WHO data, Worldometer.

My 3 kids are teachers in 2 different MN suburban schools. Their schools aren't waiting for Wednesday and both are shutting down starting tomorrow. It will add at least 2 weeks to our spring breaks as their spring breaks start March 30th.

It's ok to think it is a good idea and not be trying to police it. Guidelines have been drawn up at the assisted living center where my MIL lives, at my place of business and my church. I intend to follow them as they meet the spirit of the direction from the CDC and I figure they know about it than I do. I can't control what others do and am not trying to.

I'm sure there could be other factors that impacted this but per this chart social distancing helped in 1918 flu pandemic. Hoping we are on the blue curve and not the yellow.

This is exactly the goal of the groups that are canceling events with large gatherings. It is not because large numbers have died in a particular area. This tactic fits the direction from the CDC but gets roundly criticized here.

If you have time I think this is pretty even handed but sobering look at what we should expect. Joe Rogan interviewing Dr. Micheal Osterholm. Osterholm is an epidemiologist and infectious disease specialist who is at UM now but was head of MN Dept of Health and also ran the CDC for a time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZFhjMQrVts&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR32ccI_ttm4cdVjo-0s27kUJrKOLZ_x317B377rSdGyYu5595DVjnAHNzo

Burkett is an interesting name. Pretty solid coaching background.

I thought the cup looked good at Joe Blacks getting filled from the tap. No need for it to leave there.

The REA literally gets 52% of football ticket revenue (resources) in addition to getting paid to administer the ticket sales.

That is exciting. I assume we would need to keep the current field for practice also. I heard the contract has already been signed for tearing Memorial down.

It's really hard to criticize the extension without understanding what's in it. It could be what most on here are asking for in that it provides a soft landing spot working in the foundation and gives the fb program a stability story when recruiting. It might even provide an easier out if there isn't a buyout but just a job change. I am choosing to be optimistic and that Bubba has enough success that we want to keep him until he decides to retire.

I haven’t heard the P2 story - just an announcement soon. I did hear that Memorial is coming down after spring ball.

No problem. The herald article just said they’d posted the job so he must be leaving. I looked quickly on line and couldn’t find anything else.

Thank you.

I do have ND ties and understand a lot of stuff but I don't know anything other than he is leaving. Is he going to Sacramento?

Saw in the Herald that Malcolm Agnew is leaving. Anybody know the story?

Thanks. I guess I checked too early

Surprised no real time signing updates today

I checked with creative charters a month ago. They weren’t real motivated cuz it’s so far away but told me to check back. They do a lot of UM fb and basketball trips. Also did Montana state FB playoff games this fall. i traveled with them to UND fb NC game and they did a great job.

And you know this how? I did make out OK because of my degree - not because of a fb scholarship. I was a walk on who got a partial my last 2 years. I was a local kid and in school to get my degree. The coaches knew I wasn't going anywhere so they gave the $$ to the guys competing with my at my position. I'm not sure how many scholarships were available back then - it didn't really apply to me.

I'm with you. I don't think we should have been paid for the hours while traveling. It is fair to point out that it did make it more difficult to study for the higher level physics, math and engineering classes I was taking.

I agree that Schuster did a good job when he came in against SHSU and was very poised for a true freshman. I realize it is a very small sample size but his game stats don't stand out when compared to our other QBs last year. Both Ket and Zim had higher QB ratings and completion %. In my mind he has an advantage based on his time in the program and the word is he was great in practice but I don't think he is a lock based on last year.

I was an athlete at UND back in the DII days and there wasn't as much oversight or control from the NCAA. I figured back then that I put in 40 hours/week during the season and 25-30 hours/week average during the rest of the school year. I included all of these things for calculation during the season: practice weight training film study as a team 2 evenings per week Sunday film review of Saturday game plus some light running and stretching 2 lunch meetings/week to review game plan for next game game day - breakfast meeting, pregame and the game itself Travel time when we played an away game
