The Maier - Doss combo was special... time to reload.

I believe Berkeley is conducting small group student-athlete workouts.

I believe our kids are back in Davis, getting ready for those types of workouts

:up: :strong: :cheer:

72. I do love your comment: “when the first bat coughed in a cave in Wuhan” classic understatement but unfortunately so true.and so sad..

To be fair, it's not just the magazines. I recall years ago reading the baseball preview feature in a local newspaper. It was something the paper obtained through a wire service and was published as spring practice was coming to an end and the regular season was about to begin. The article listed the manager of a team who actually had been replaced sometime in the fall or early winter.

I periodically (no pun intended) forget that print media still exists. I remember as a kid trekking down to the only liquor store in town that carried Street & Smith with my dad to get a copy, one of the few places D2 got covered. It was the kind of newsstand that was literally next to railroad tracks and had more dirty magazines than not.

Ivy League to vote on Wednesday on postponing football season to next spring. Atlantic Magazine says 98% chance that will be the decision. Sadly, Many feel this will be the first of many leagues to do the same. With the recent surge of the virus it is probably the wisest decision.

Especially tough on the small college programs, but I would be very surprised to see much in the way of organized athletics at any level very soon. As people may have seen, the Bucks and Kings closed down their practice facilities this weekend after positive test results.

Small colleges likely to follow Morehouse's decision to drop fall sports:

D-III Bowdoin cancels fall sports including football:

Just the cost of testing will push some programs to closure:

Daily alleged deaths in America down from 2,700 a day on May 26th to 212 yesterday. Case Mortality rate best in the world, virus supposedly weakening.

Did the Spanish Flu postpone college life?

It's early July and sh**** COVID-19 takes haven't stopped

From what I am hearing the mortality rate has dropped to .01% and the basic flu has a mortality rate of .1%. So it is not as lethal as the basic flu. That is the good news, but many more are getting the covid 19 flu.

We'll be studying this for years. How much of the recent uptick is due to large & intimate BLM protests... and there are rumblings of infected people from Mexico impacting numbers and possibly being double counted.

Why didn't we have a plan to protect our seniors and the vulnerable? We even blew the basics, Jerry Brown and Cuomo not having basic medical equipment stockpiled. (I give Newsom a partial pass being new to his position.)

The mortality rate for COVID-19 is not .01%. The numbers suggest it's at least 1%. The flu doesn't kill 130k Americans in 4 months.

Hardly any, but I know you want that to be true. (Look at recent numbers in Florida, Texas, Arizona, then look at Washington, Oregon, Minn, and New York. You even managed to get in some xenophobia re your Mexico comment. Nice

And maybe if your Dear Leader encouraged mask use, instead of playing down the virus, thousands of lives would have been saved.

I'm no scientist, but I believe the transmission of CCP19 is high, but the mortality is quite low. For those under 70 its very low. I believe the average age of mortality is 82, and an immunologist from New Jersey said comorbidities like obesity and diabetes compound the problem.

The public health officials / politicians also keep changing the definitions / parameters. What used to be one diagnosed infection can now include 8-15 contacts in some areas, even without testing.

I wear a mask, but its apparently controversial. Sweden doesn't use masks, even admissions nurses at hospitals don't use them.

I found your Christmas gift.

Are we going to be a great program and reload....or are we going to wait another 15 years for the time to be just right?

Sweden has been a disaster

Ha ha. If only he had done this 3 months ago

We were hoping to see a QB battle this summer... Mortality rate very low for those under 70, so it must be rock bottom for the under-25 cohort.

Hawkins has a full cupboard. Are they working out in small groups?

It would be entertaining to watch intrasquad 7 man football with all the QBs and receivers on the team.
