Need DD214 or veterans photo ID card and you are good to go. Don’t know why they don't promote this.

In the book “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn (which is excellent by the way) the story includes the observation that in much of the South republicans will always go to Walmart and Home Depot as opposed to Costco and Lowes because the latter stores are owned by Democratic supporters. The former, republican. I have no idea if this is true, but it does fit the apparent additional fact that in the South mask wearers are sometimes referred to as “liberal pussies.” This sure fits your narrative. I do know that Lowes gives a 10% discount to veterans and thats why I go there. HD does not. Active service only. So we have now politicized retail. Why not a virus? Makes perfect sense to me. Next: Sex?
Wait a minute. A friends daughter at UC Santa Barbara says that she has a republican sorority sister who absolutely will not date a non-republican. So we are close, No?

I did hear reference to the “Second Mountain” Concept by both Hawk and Rolf. There is a book out there by David Brooks, a conservative commentator for the NYT, of that same name and concept. In life the first mountain you climb is about the ego. Building your own ego As high as it will go. When that doesn’t work (and it is a rare person who achieves that fulfillment), comes the valley before the Second Mountain. In this valley we contemplate how we should transition from the selfish individualism of our past to focus on giving to the community. Selfish versus selfless. Then we try to climb that mountain. Again, few of us complete that climb but trying is the real purpose of the “journey of life” as both Hawk and Rolf repeatedLy mentioned. It’s not the end, it is how you conduct your journey that truly counts in life. I think that Pastor in SoCal who wrote “The Purpose Driven Life” had the same approach. I think he was Obamas favorite Pastor.
Just here with a sick dog. Staying home in my mask. Rolf made my day. Thank you Rolf. Good to be an Ag.

Did Coach Sochor ever write much about his philosophy of coaching? I wish he had written a book. Amazing the positive impact he had on so so many people. The man was a saint!

Well folks, that just made my day. Makes you very proud to be an Aggie.

And to make things even worse, all these states know this is happening. But the way they want to fix the problem is by hiding the statistics on the new cases. This is beyond incompetence. It is a conscious disregard for the health and safety of our country.

No surprises. Covid still rising in all the SEC states. Texas is breaking all infection records as is Florida GA, SC and NC. Football next month? Ridiculous but true.

Wow. A lot of rumor, speculation and down right fear at sac over this thing. However this works out, sac will feel the impact as a team. Even if KT stays it will never be the same team. The speculation over TT also leaving is at borderline hysteria levels at sac. If TT gets an offer he will leave sac. That is a fact contract or no contract.

Follow: sometimes there are good Hawks and bad Hawks. Some feed their chicks and some that don' . I am very glad we have one of the former species here with us now. But I am truly sad for Troy Taylor who is by all accounts a good guy to have this happen to his team. We had it with a RB Recently and we will have it in the future. Crazy times indeed.

Sac picked for #4 in the FCS by Hero’s basically due to Thompson. I guess thats gone now. The guy is just amazing. If he has to wait another year does that mean he’s been a college QB for 7 years? One point: why didn’t the Hawk get him?\

Texas started reopening the end of April and now has the highest number of Covid-19 patients it has even had: 1,935. This is very bad. I hope California avoids this outcome.

Covid-19 ethics.
SMU bringing back it’s football team for practices starting June 6.
Dallas County currently showing 200+ cases and significant deaths from Covid-19 now per week and not dropping.
NCAA: all teams will have to test all players prior to active practice or games.
Covid test cost: $200+/-
CDC: Covid testing not readily available for everyone due to lack of test kits
CDC: Covid testing should be prioritized for vulnerable populations
CDC: does not mention college football, NFL, NBA as a vulnerable population.
Question: is this ethical??

BSC might consider splitting into north-south divisions ala Pac12 for football.
EWU, UI, ISU, MU, MSU and NC: North
WSU, DSU, NAU, Poly, UCD and Sac: South
Keeps all the rivalry games intact and could make travel cost drop significantly.

With Dixie State moving to D1 are they a lock into the BSC. They have a full athletic program. Could be a good member.
Also, when does UCSD begin play in the BW?

Well, a coyote can really do a job on a hornet. Even the new murder hornets. Which asks the question: will sac change it name to the vastly more intimidating species: “The Murder Hornets?” Maybe not a good move in the current climate. Better name though. . . .

Header: Under COVID-19
This just in. . .
CNN reports this breaking news:

Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases, told the President: “This morning 3 Brazilian citizens were killed by the Covid-19 virus so-far this week.
Trumps face went egg-shell white with shock. The blood drained from his face and to everyone’s amazement he collapsed to the floor. Minutes passed and to everyone’s relief President Trump got up shakily and then sat back on his chair.
His staff, who was nothing less than stunned at this amazing display of emotion and empathy from a President who is not well known for such behavior,, nervously watched as he sat, head in hands, waiting to see if he would faint again.
Finally, the President looked up and with a shaky quivering voice asked Dr. Fauci:
*”How many people is a Brazilian?”*

Hey everyone. Stay safe and hope we get thru this disaster soon.

Heck, just move all the games to florida says Florida governor ron DeSantis. We will welcome you! I recently posted that Janet napolitano is under pressure to let the UCs play ball. I was wrong. This is a decision that is governor newcome’s alone to make. And if you think he doesn’t have the power to say “no” read this. UFC249 wanted to schedule a ESPN t.v. Only bout in california in may that newsome couldn’t stop. So they were to hold it at an Indian casino/hotel in Lemoore where the calif. sports commission has no jurisdiction. Big problem: ESPN is owned by Disney. Disney and newsome are very tight. Newsome calls Disney and the fight is cancelled. So 2020 calif. sports will be newsome’s call and I don’t think he will want any covid19 blood on his hands that he was empowered to prevent.

Think about the pressure Napolitano is getting from Cal and UCLA not to follow the CSUs and to permit football to proceed in 2020? They are desperate as the financial implications for them are huge. Cal is so far in the red already, I don't see them ever recovering from no football in 2020. I also don't see her as particularly subject to pressure as she is retiring very soon,

Who hired Les? Tumey or Wareska? Hey, one of them did something right. Tumey is just a candle that will not go out. Got to hand it to him. We are a bottomless pit of talent. Blue sticks for 4-5 years IMHO.
