    gotta have the Fighting.  Fighting in front of anything that sounds similar to Sioux.... and Moose works well.

    Not perfect, but it's about as close to sounding like Fighting Sioux as is possible with a nickname.

    This is a big part of the reason UND is the “Fighting” Hawks now, imho.

    Robstown? And the best they can do is Cotton Pickers? 

    C'mon ... Bandits, Prowlers, have fun with the town name Robstown. 

    Thief River Falls' Prowlers got it right (thief, prowler). 

    Crookston missed their opportunity. 

    Well, Tombstone, AZ is the Yellow Jackets. Talk about missed opportunities.

    Youngstown has always seemed like they are looking for football success to push the school profile.  So, they would be looking for the next step up for the football program.  I always assumed that they would be the MAC because is has 6 Ohio based schools.  But, they can't afford the MAC and FBS football.  So, I think they are happy with the high level of football within the MVFC.  Plus, I believe that Youngstown was already in the OVC from 1981 to 1987. 

    But, you do raise an interesting point about OVC and they could move back.  A driver for this could be the current financial hardships many states are going to have and state funding could be reduced.  So, yes I can see the OVC could be in play for both WIU and YSU to replace EK and JSU.  The next couple of years are going to be interesting.

    Agreed. Youngstown probably prefers the MAC, but the MAC is pretty stable with 12 teams. YSU fits the footprint perfectly, but, despite talk from McFeely and his dreams of Bison FBS,  it does not appear that the MAC is planning to add anyone soon.

    The interesting part of that report is that OVC is losing two members (E Kent and Jacksonville St).  Does the OVC stay put or does W Ill. look to E Ill. as nice travel partner in the OVC.  Plus, the costs to compete are a lot less in OVC vs SL/MVFC.  If this unfolds MVFC goes back 10 teams and SL stays at 9 with St. Thomas coming in and W Ill potentially going.  Or does this open the door for Augie slightly or do you talk to St. Johns

    UND/NDSU

    USD/SDSU

    (Augie/St. Johns) /St. Thomas

    Omaha/Denver

    ORU/UMKC

    Always wondered why Youngstown doesn’t move to the Ohio Valley Conference. Yes, they are in the Horizon for basketball, but geographically, they would be a better fit in the OVC than the MVFC.

    Schiff on possible Flynn pardon: Trump is 'acting like an organized crime figure' (msn.com)

     

    Seriously?!

    You are using Schiff-for-Brains as a credible source!?!  Flynn should have been pardoned 4 years ago. 
    I wonder if you have an org@§m every time you find one of these left wing articles to copy to smear President Trump and anyone who supports him.

    Chicago Mayor Lightfoot told residents to "stay home unless for essential reasons", to "stop having guests over - including family members" and to "cancel traditional Thanksgiving plans". 

    When asked of his plans, Chicago resident (Illinois Governor) Pritzker responded  "... I don't know exactly what my plans will be. But I'll certainly be happy to share. I think you already know we have a place in Florida, so..." he says, before trailing off. 

    He mustn’t have been able to get reservations at the French Laundry restaurant like CA Governor Newsom. :glare:

    Beam me up Scotty

    I wonder how long before they 25th Amendment Biden and Kamala becomes President? I give it six months. However, the media won't ask him tough questions so he could make it a couple of years. 

    Heaven help us if/when this happens...

    oh that’s right... Harris & Co will outlaw Heaven

    ... sow doubt about election results and make life hell for the incoming administration?  He’s gonna carry this on as long as he can.   Lather, rinse, repeat.     

    Sounds an awful lot like Clinton, Pelosi, Schiff and the rest of the Democrats (including Obama’s Action for America) the past 4 years

    IMHO Republicans would trade losing the White House with the squad being voted out.  

    I also believe many moderate Democrats privately would love to see them out of office. 

    And there is no shortage of Republicans who are happy to see Trump out of office as well, regardless of winning or losing house races (but retaining Senate majority)

  10. Just got the following in an email

    have not confirmed it, but seems legit:

     

    Here are the last 10 years of total deaths in the US from all causes:

     

    2010

    • Deaths: 2,468,435

    • Population: 309,346,863

    .00798% of deaths to population

     

    2011

    • Deaths: 2,515,458

    • Population: 311,718,857

    .00807

     

    2012

    • Deaths: 2,543,279

    • Population: 314,102,623

    .00809

     

    2013

    • Deaths: 2,596,993

    • Population: 316,427,395

    .00821

     

    2014

    • Deaths: 2,626,418

    • Population: 318,907,401

    .00824

     

    2015

    • Deaths: 2,712,630 

    • Population: 321,418,820

    .00844

     

    2016

    • Deaths: 2,744,248

    • Population: 323,071,342

    .00849

     

    2017

    • Deaths: 2,813,503

    • Population: 325,147,121

    .00865

     

    2018

    • Deaths: 2,839,205

    • Population: 327,167,439

    .00868

     

    2019

    • Deaths: 2,855,000

    • Population: 329,110,439

    .00867

     

    2020    Something ain't right here??

    • As of September 24th there are 2,033,736 total deaths in the US. That is a daily average of 7,588 deaths. 

    7,588 X 365 days= 2,769,620 being the total deaths we could expect in 2020 based on the numbers through 09/24/2020.

    So the question is this: How can we have less deaths in the US if there is a pandemic going on?  For the last 100 years there has never been a decrease in total deaths per year in the US.

    If this were a normal year, with no pandemic, we should have around 2,875,000 deaths. But this isn’t a normal year so we should end up with around 3,200,000 deaths when you add in the Covid-19 deaths. 

     

    Someone isn’t telling us the truth...(media and or government OR BOTH)!!!

  11. I have always wondered why they Russians wanted Trump elected when the Clintons were already bought an paid for through Bill’s $500K speech and donations to the Clinton Foundation preceding and following Uranium One.

    Campbell also warned that a major in-kind donor to the Clinton Global Initiative was simultaneously working for Rosatom while the decision for U.S. approval was pending before Hillary Clinton’s department. Ultimately, her department and the Obama administration approved the transaction.

    The evidence shows the Clintons financially benefited from Russia — personally and inside their charity — at the same time they were involved in U.S. government actions that rewarded Moscow and increased U.S. security risks.

    The intersections between the Clintons, the Democrats and Russia carried into 2016, when a major political opposition research project designed to portray GOP rival Donald Trump as compromised by Moscow was launched by Clinton’s presidential campaign and brought to the FBI.
