    Same here, directly behind the double attack end for UND

    So were my wife and I.  We probably high fived as I think I did with at least half the section...haha.

    I remember starting to calm down and turned around to see the refs in the box and my heart just sank.

    UND fan in me:  Suck it Denver!  Hah!  

    Hockey purist in me:  Didn't Denver beat Omaha with two and a half lines and take UND to OT after UND had to rally late in their arena?

    Unless the sub .500 rule comes into play, then a rule is a rule....

     

    They waved the .500 rule this year, I believe

    Second of all no way there were only 3000 fans there. Had to be closer to 5000. And we were loud 

    Was wondering what the actual attendance ended up being.

    I watched tickets all day.  The double attack upper corners sold out and there was about 30 total tickets left in the last 2 rows on the other side.  I decided not to go, then checked back to see if it had sold out.  The double attack corners had lots of tickets available again and then a whole bunch of section 302 opened up so I grabbed one of those tickets.  They were definitely adding seats throughout the day.

    If "social distancing" is the immediate, knee-jerk reaction to every future bug, strain, variant, etc., ALL spectator sports are in jeopardy...forever. No season that begins is assured of finishing, and no off-season is assured of ending.  Could become new betting lines in Vegas.

    All we can do is pray that the "science" evolves to show that "curve flattening" is a definite, achievable objective, rather than the fluid, indeterminable, and movable goal post that it is now.

    I also think that a vaccine changes that quickly.

    I saw a poll last night that said 72% of fans(sports in general) were not likely to attend a game until there is a vaccine.

    This could be a motivator for guys on national title contending teams who were robbed at the chance of a title this year to come back for at least one more season.

    I think we all needs to realize this virus has probably been everywhere in this country for months and we are chasing a ghost right now.

     

    100% agree.  Everyone seems to know several people who were "more sick than they have ever been" or tested negative for strep, flu, etc.

    I had a tenant go to Disney World last month.  All the kids and grand kids got very sick and spent the whole vacation in the hotel.

    All of the cases and deaths this winter would just be filed as influenza, pneumonia, etc.

    My personal opinion is the more we look into this, the more we're going to realize this virus is all over the u.s..  I was talking to one of our doctors at an open skate a couple days ago. She was saying that all winter they were getting cases where people were showing flu symptoms but would test negative. The illness hung on for weeks in comparison. I, myself, was sick early November with what I thought was the flu. Showed as flu and after a couple days was starting to get better and around the 5 day mark, I got absolutely crushed again. The weird thing was, the difficulty I had breathing. At the time, I was very fit, two rounds of a P90x style program, and this illness crushed me to the point I'm still coughing. I was explaining all of this to the doctor and my case describe as a lot of those cases not testing positive for flu. I may, or may not have had this virus, but I've never been hit by a sickness like this in my life, and let's face it, the Chinese lie. This virus was around long before it was reported, and it was out of control in China long before they announced it was. Don't forget they didn't say anything until healthcare workers were leaking information. Bottom line, it's out here, it's been here for a while to the point I would bet many have had it and gotten over it, and everyone needs to calm the f down. 

    I think you're probably spot on.

    I almost never get sick, but did so after being in Santa Clara when this first started hitting the news.  Not strep, not the flu. "Some kind of virus".  Cough that wouldn't go away and shortness of breath when doing very minimal tasks, and I'm in great shape.  

    I started to think about how many friends over the winter have told me that they were "sicker than they have ever been" and then were back to normal after 2 weeks.

    Italy Stats for first 1000 deaths:

    Average age - 80.3

    47% of deceased had at least 2-3 preconditions.

    2 deaths under 40 years of age.  (both had preconditions)

    The biggest danger lies with, where do we put the people with heart attacks, ruptured appendixes, gun shot wounds, etc...when they get to a hospital that is running at 300% capacity?

    I'll say that I haven't seen or heard a single msu fan claiming anything. Everyone is either in the boat of a) upset that we still cant get the first tournament win or b) sick for the seniors that passed up pro contracts for the chance to win the tourney.

    This was probably the best of all the hastings teams. I would have loved to see msu and und square off one more time. It would have been a good one.

    A mavs fan on twitter replied to Jake Brandt's tweet and said Mavs should get it because they have 31 wins

    The only people who need to be tested are health care workers, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.  If you are young (under 50) and healthy and are taking up a test kit, crowding the ER, or otherwise taking up the health systems time and resources you are an a$$hole and part of the problem.  Stay home, self quarantine, ride the illness out.  If things start getting worse for you then seek help, otherwise use some common sense and don't be a strain on the system.

    That would be out of the norm.

    Last yr, I had my mom sitting in the ER for hours, writhing in pain...while services were tied up with every cold and cough that backed up the ER on a Sunday night.

    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. 

    We have a trip to Denver planned in July.  Paid $250 for 2 tickets a couple weeks ago.

    I checked back last night and found round trip from MSP to Denver for $38

    So where do you hit the reset button?  Do you not play any games next fall/winter and just pick up the NCHC tournament first round come next March?  I don't have the answer either, but this season looks like it'll be a nice big * in the scorecard of sports history everywhere.

    It's like when dirt track racing features get rained out.  You run them prior to next week's racing.

    Play the tourney next October and then start the new year.

  13. I went to Menards to get 5 boxes of water, each containing three one gallon jugs...like I do every week. 

    There is normally a 5 foot high pallet of purified and another of distilled. 

    Today...not one box in the store.

    I gathered up a couple of the loose gallons sitting there, as a guy whizzed past me with a pull cart loaded with 18 twenty four packs of water.

    Wtf people?

  14. My mom just went out to get toilet paper.  The walmart worker said they are out and don't know when they will get more.  She was told not to ask about gallons of water or hand sanitizer either.  On the way out, my mom sees a lady with a heaping cart of nothing but hand soap.

     

    She goes to Target for toilet paper.  She gets told they are out of sanitzer and toilet paper.

     

    She goes to Menards, finds toilet paper, but was warned that once they run out, no one knows when they can get more.

     

    So dumb.
