• San Jose game out?
    It appears the Spartans had their Spring workouts cut short. They're now back on campus working out. Their game w Penn State ($1.5 M loss) was canceled.

    Nick Starkel, 6'3" colorful grad transfer from Arkansas, is the top candidate for being the new starting QB. Justin Bieber fan. 1,152 yards and 98 of 179 passing on the year, but 5 picks vs San Jose in a disastrous Hog loss. Reportedly has a big arm & NFL dreams.

    Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson: “If there’s no college football this fall, there’s very little likelihood there will be any other sports, because 85 percent of the revenue derived in college athletics comes from the sport of football,” said Thompson in an April 20 interview with Mountain West Network host Jesse Kurtz. An athletic director in the MW made a similar prediction. Estimating a loss of $10.5 million without a football season, Wyoming athletic director Tom Burman told the Casper Star-Tribune in an interview published Saturday: “Nobody wants to cancel football, so they’re going to wait as long as they possibly can to not cancel football.”

    Thank you for catching my error. The full reply should have included - infection rate below the flu for those under 70 years of age.
  • COVID-19
    We have more deaths than many due to our size and demographics. Six European countries have higher death rates, and several more have comparable numbers. Imagine our mortality rate if Pelosi & Biden were in charge and they allowed tourist travel from China. Disaster.

    The Atlantic recently reported (article, “How Could the CDC Make That Mistake?”) that the U.S. CDC and its controversial director Robert Redfield are conflating antibody tests with antigen (viral) tests. Many reports of shady data.

    CA, we're in California, the Big Sky Conference is in the Western US. Not New York or New Jersey. Here is a comparison of New Jersey deaths per million vs California (graph #2, the salmon colored line).

    CA, where have I stated Covid 19 isn't a big deal?

    We can use logic, reason, and facts to deal with problems - not hyperbole & hysteria. New York exacerbated our problems, as did the disastrous strategies governors used to put senior citizens at risk.

    Notice how virtually all social interaction was locked down, yet protesting face to face, screaming, spitting, sharing drugs/vaping / booze for 3-4-5 hours was A OK? Often for weeks straight. No one in the hookup culture is going to tell me that after months of isolation, many of these youngsters weren't flirting, kissing, or hooking up.

    Why not play this fall, test, test, test... and any older coaches or players who are fearful can redshirt.

    The mortality rate of the CCP Covid19 is below the regular flu - for those under 70 years of age - and players living with young teammates are safer than living in a multi generational house. (See Sweden, Germany, Iceland.)

    If all Fall sports are cancelled, furlough 75% of ICA staff?

    Exaggeration doesn't further attempts at enlightenment. I wouldn't expect an Aggie to play the Nazi Card - Reductio ad Hitlerum - but I guess Godwin's Law holds here as well. But are you aware Dinesh Desouza claims the Democrat Klan gave the Nazi's their roadmap?

    If President Obama were in office when the CCP Covid virus hit, he'd still be hamstrung by Governor Cuomo (didn't order ventilators), Governor Jerry Brown (sold off emergency equipment), and the Democrat Govs disastrous plans of placing infected seniors back into nursing homes. So that's not on Obama or Trump.

    Given he is of similar thinking to Pelosi & Newsom, Obama would have let Chinese visitors still in (not citizens or legal residents), so that would have been an utter disaster. We'd have 4-5 New Yorks. He likely wouldn't commander the private sector so swiftly & authoritatively.

    The liberal daytime Fox hosts would cut Obama slack, not the Hannity crowd. The difference with Fox News is, they'll have 2 Democrats on simultaneously - not MSDNC or CNN with 6 Democrats to one weakling pretend conservative.

    Obama couldn't even get up a simple website with roughly $850 Million and 3.5 years time. The Inspector General blamed "extreme government incompetence", disastrous management decisions, and politics.

    Dr. Scott Atlas from Stanford on Covid19. Abbreviated:

    - American Academy of Pediatrics has recommended that children go back to school.
    - More "social mingling" - [riots, eating out, nightclubs] - & more testing - you'll see more cases.
    - the overwhelming percentage of young people who get it don't have the complications and don't die.
    - we're in good shape... approaching herd immunity... hospital stays cut in half.
    - "the most irrational public policy in modern history".
    - zero science for young children staying home, social distancing, and wearing a mask.

    How Covid19 statistical methods are totally... whacked?

    Paul Sperry@paulsperry_ Jul 17

    "BREAKING: Health officials from dozen states have mistakenly lumped (+) results from antibody tests in w viral tests for COVID-19 in reporting to CDC, inflating new cases. A (+) antibody test could mean you were infected w virus from same corona family that causes the common cold"

    So there is potential double counting (from a +Covid test and then an antibody test, as reported elsewhere) and lumping CV19 with the common cold.

    Then this.

    Motorcycle deaths counted as CV19 deaths?

    Have you actually read anything these Marxists have said or written?

    "BLM leader: If change doesn’t happen, then ‘we will burn down this system’ "

    Anti family, anti police, anti capitalism. Hundreds of people have been killed, upwards of eight children murdered (most of the victims people of color), and roughly a dozen cities in various stages of anarchy. Shootings up 100%, I've read up to 200% in some areas. Statutes of Frederick Douglass & Abolitionists toppled.

    A confusing mix when you add in Antifa, random Agitators, Anarchists, an extended Covid19 lockdown, etc. Thousands of businesses in urban areas closed forever when in reality, police violence is at record lows. Put Chauvin on trial, end the knee on the neck ghastly procedure (taught by his black commanding officer), but don't ruin the historic progress achieved for the African American community (lowest unemployment rate ever pre-Covid).

    It will be interesting to see if AG Bill Barr's DOJ indicts any of these anarchist groups, and does George Soros support them.

    Sad, especially given that it seems we should be welcoming students back to town.

    Recent statistics show a mortality rate below the standard flu for people under 70. For those under 30 it is even lower. Sweden seems to have made the right choice.

    Other businesses which have closed or filed for bankruptcy:

    JCrew
    Gold's Gym
    Neiman Marcus
    Brooks Brothers
    Pier 1 Imports
    Hertz
    JC Penny

    They can be fun. Ross Perot livened them up. Sybil Romney cleaned Obama's clock, then took a dive next debate. #Shady. Will Hunter Biden show?

    If Biden wins, who leads the country? AOC, or three angry BLM Marxists?

    Vanity Fair, Sept 1, 2016: The Republican Party Is Committing Suicide

    For the record, I'm not a Republican. Second, Trump isn't an establishment GOP candidate, either.

    It's the establishent "UniParty" members - McConnels (R), Chans (R), Bidens (D) and Clintons (D) - who sold off our country. The USMCA trade deal might be the first deal in decades not written by our crooked Chamber of Commerce / lobbyists / Wall Street.
