    If you're SS.com official booking or just looking for some side action I'll put $1000 on the under for those two states.

    Yeah Biden may be up but no way that much.  Remember the same media that spent 3.5 years looking for Russian collusion involving Trump and came up with a big nothing burger ......is the same media running many of these surveys.

    Buddy of mine who lives 30 miles south of me sent me a check for some Shriners raffle tickets 3 weeks ago. Took 12 days to arrive in my mailbox. There is a reason it’s called snail mail 

    Definitely excessive....but it would be a much bigger problem if there weren't alternatives out there for voting, sending, communicating, paying, etc.

    1 question:

    If Biden wins the popular vote by 5 million+ and wins the electoral collage, Why would there be civil unrest? 

    Because a black guy chasing cops with a knife gets shot?  

    People forget what it was like at the end of Obama's reign.  Cops were getting targeted and in some cases slaughtered in the streets.  It will get worse not better if Biden is elected.  On the flip side, if Trump is reelected get ready for a law and order hammer to drop. 

    When you live in the metro and you need a new TV or washing machine...or the newest Air Jordans you can't be picky looking for an excuse to loot.

    Since MM has been here a few months and his teammates have gotten to know him now it'd be nice to sit down off the record with the leadership group and see what their opinion of the kid is.

    With race being part of this awful story, and our captain being a minority and Jasper having a black brother I'd like to get their take especially.

    This is something that Berry has had to discuss with both of them I'd like to think. 

    Most people are capable of putting a good face on when they arrive in a new situation, start a new job, start a new relationship, etc.  The real tell will be as time passes and if he doesn't get to play alot right away.  The cream usually does rise to the top and the turd will eventually sink to the bottom.  His track record including his parents enabling doesn't bode well for which way he is heading.

    So a black moped driver (3 words rarely uttered together) died in DC when he crashed into another vehicle after the police turn on the emergency lights. Last night was 2nd night of protests with last night turning violent.

    Meanwhile Philly is a dumpster fire over justified police shooting of a man who happened to be black. Watched multiple  national news outlets last night and didn't see one looter coming out of a store stealing stuff that looked like me. 

    Minneapolis will burn regardless of the outcomes of the Floyd trials. 

    This will be the new normal under a new administration. Metropolitan cities will just be an absolute free for all.

    Give it time, the mayor/media will find a couple white guys that have out of state addresses and try feeding you the narrative that they were the primary rioters/looters.

    Great.

    And the new cases was kept under 900 & deaths under 16.  we're on a roll.

    Look at the obituary/death notices page of Grand Forks, Fargo, Minot, Bismarck, Williston, and Dickinson for perspective (and Google the term "perspective" to help you understand what that word means).   Bismarck Tribune posted 8 obits today alone.....and keep in mind that not many people don't mess around with posting those in the paper anymore.  You do realize that before Covid people did die each and everyday in ND right?

    There could even be more of this stellar feller!
    Little balance is good for this thread. SS could be receiving $.10 on the dollar from advertising without the likes. Also eventually cash in pocket for Mods.

    Like previous poster said it's not balance.  It is nonsensical photos and memes all day long.

    Hayduke was a positive member posting here prior to Covid, and I imagine he'll return to being a positive member posting here once college sports restart at UND (and this thread is gone).

    Even so, whatever goodwill you think he banked up at some point must be running low.

    Because I said Miller should have apologized for bullying and assaulting a kid with a learning disability?

    Notice I didn't ban limu emu for his posts, or even reprimand him with a moderator sign-off.

    Even amongst the hunker down and hide from Covid crowd, there are at least some intelligent posts/links being provided (that I don't agree with but that is besides the point).  Hayduke literally does nothing but spam the board with nonsense all day long.  I get the hands off moderator approach but c'mon, it's no different than some guy from Europe spamming the board with "I made $150k working from home last year" posts all day

  10. Brad Miller is dead on accurate with his observations.  There is a difference between being a loyal UND hockey fan and being a blind follower.  Try looking at this objectively and be honest with yourself if your opinion would stay the same if the victim was.someone you knew.

    I'll say it again, crazy how high the positivity rate continues to be with such a huge amount of people doing it just for those incentives....

    At worst, at least they know to stay home and not further spread it. If they choose not to, they are epitome of selfish. 

    The epitome of selfish is expecting 99% of a population to grind their regular lives to a halt to accommodate the 1% of the population that is in danger.....versus having the 1% of the population that is in danger adjust their lives in a manner that allows the other 99% that arent in danger to continue on as is.
