Yikes, tough draw on the road games with ORU, SDSU and UNO. Also not a huge fan of bye week being the final weekend of the year but might work out depending on how/if the conference tournament is set up. Also, I imagine some feathers will be ruffled 70 miles to the south with them having to travel to Grand Forks.

Fair, it was a bit of hyperbole (mainly due to the content of what I responding to), but based on how he acts I honestly don't think it is that far off. Here's an example from yesterday of him complaining about disasters in Iowa getting coverage over his Nobel Peace Prize nomination:

And you are actually dumb enough to think Trump cares about anyone but himself? Everything he does is for the betterment of him personally. It's literally his modus operandi since, oh I don't know, forever. If it happens to benefit others, just an added bonus I guess. Both sides are delusional.

The impact/volatility will likely depend on how the Senate shakes out. If R's lose the WH but not the Senate, I wouldn't expect a large change. If the R's lose the WH and Senate, I could foresee some signfiicant negative volatility.

Fair, but the betting markets have Biden at -200 and Trump at +150. A bit of a wide holdback, but still intriguing nonetheless.

I'd venture that a decent amount of Biden winning is already priced in based on recent polls.

But they aren't the ones calling the shots. Their hands are tied. On top of that, ask NDSU how selling tickets during a pandemic goes. Hint - Demand was a fraction of what they expected, and that was before they pulled the rug out from those who wanted to attend. Also, not sure if you've looked around the stands at college athletics in the state, but the average fan definitely falls into one of the high-risk categories whether it be age or "health". That being said, they should be able to be at 50% capacity without any issue assuming people are willing to have different seats for the season in exchange for fans being allowed in the building. Hopefully their plan is better than NDSU's "sit wherever you're comfortable" idea.

There are hundreds of schools in the country in the exact same boat. Nothing you're saying is lost on anyone involved.

There is currently multiple plans in place. They will get as many in as they are allowed too. Limited and/or lack of fans will not be on the REA or athletic department decision.

Where did it say that? Article just stated no fans in the "hub".

McConnell's end game has always been the courts. Why in the world would he consider dropping nomination for a SCOTUS judge?

Based on the state's new quarantine suggestions, it makes absolute sense to wear masks during practice. This way, if someone tests positive, the whole team won't be off the ice for 14 days (hypotetically).

Considering he was adamant that is why the WAC was doing all this and the Dakoat schools were involved, I don't think he gets a whole lot of credit for being correct. Schools moving conferences is nothing new, the Big Sky was oversized and there isn't a whole lot of options in the west. On top of that, there was plenty of information out there about the WAC being interested in bringing back football at the FCS level. A bunch of "who's that again" moving around and playing at the FCS level is significantly different than a seismic shift of conferences trading Universities and moving up to FBS.

Hawaii? Or is there another island that is part of the US?

I'd say releasing a video on the official NDSU Football twitter account means they have an opinion. https://twitter.com/NDSUfootball/status/1312474752393584641

Does NDSU lose more money from not having fans at the game but still on the hook for a $100K guarantee or for backlash from boosters who apparently are incredibly unhappy with a political display? Looking like this one turned into a losing proposition.

He couldn't find an article to cut and paste to express "his" thoughts.

Oddly enough, NDSU made zero attempt to accomplish that when their stated plan was "sit in you regular season ticket seats or just move to empty ones if uncomfortable."

I would disagree very much with this statement and not just from the perspective that Danny was on the staff when McKinney was recruited.

The Federalist Society has put forth the nominations, not Trump. McConnell is the definition of the establishment and he's been pulling the strings all along. Trump is just a figurehead for electing judges. This isn't close to accurate. "Losing money" can mean multiple things and in this instance, it is being done on paper. Good luck determining the full story without all the proper information. There's plenty about a person's financial condition that can be learned from tax returns but they are just snippets in time and to your point, only tell part of the story. And with how much I'm guessing Trump pays his accountants (and forces them to push the envelope), good luck trying to decipher those snippets in time. Doesn't mean he isn't leveraged and might have some strained cash flow, but the generalizations are just guesses without the full package.

You mean the one that everyone thought represented the LA Chargers because the horn looks like a C? The logo was skewered pretty good when it was released to the point that the COO had to publicly come out and say they weren't changing it despite the blowback. Ram legend Eric Dickerson (who works for the team) even unsucessfully lobbied for a change. https://www.si.com/nfl/2020/04/06/rams-logo-color-not-changing-criticism-kevin-demoff That being said, I was a big fan of the jerseys they wore yesterday.

And it happened under a local government controlled by Republicans! Just wait until the Democrats start in with their meddling!!

So are you bad at math or comprehension?

Bulletproof sourcing. You have changed my mind. Well done. Also, things have been far from grinded to a halt in ND (because we're doing pretty well in deaths and hospital capcity), but carry on.

Do you have any sources that show 30% of ND deaths categorized as associated with CoVid actually had absolutely nothing to do with the person contracting the virus and they would have died the exact same day regardless?
