2020 ndsu football season

I would argue that issues of public health are not political. Apparently I’m wrong about that though.


Now, about those elective surgeries...

It's not that it's political. It's just that there's a place to discuss if masks work or not is all. Not really football talk. If a mask stops a virus?


And I really hope that last comment wasn't directed towards me we could take that up somewhere else as well.

It all works, a little. Masks work a little, social distancing works a little, washing hands work a little. Add them all up, carry it across an entire population and if the R value falls below 1, infections decrease instead of increase.

This is what many people don't get. And even doing all those things didn't guarantee anything. But they collectively reduce the risk significantly.

If masks work... why did they let prisoners out of prisons? Why not just make them wear masks?

A rhetorical question I believe.

Heck no that was not directed at you or anyone else here. After all you are a Bison fan so by definition you’re good. I guess there could be a couple of notable exceptions but I rather like those guys really.

As for the mask debate I do see your point for sure. Not really football talk except I think for 2020 whether we like it or not they will be inextricably linked as long as there is hope for a season.

Not really political talk either is my point. More medical technology talk IMHO. Except that in 2020 some would choose to politicize it.

But you’re right. Given the situation on the ground it does not belong here.

just shut up, all of you!

Just give us our god dam NDSU football this year

PERIOD.

we got 2 months until conference game 1. we will be fine


I say since the 1st conference game would be Sept 21 so we got 2 months. NDSU fans obviously want Football, North Dakota HS Football is a GO, so that helps. NDSU will hurt just like the rest of the FCS if we don't play. I would urge everyone to email pattyv@mvfc.org NDSU facebook fan pages are encourgaging everyone to do so ...that way she see's we are the majority that want FCS football.

Play the 8 conference games. Do a quick 16 team tourney. 6-2 records and better get in.. If Western Illinois or Missouri State doesn't want to play, then invite JMU to take their spots.

I really hope Patty makes any decisions based on the health and safety of participants and doesn't consider the personal feelings of any fans. Nobody wants football more than conference commissioners, athletic directors and coaches because they could be out of jobs if there is no football.

Imagine thinking the science exclusively points one way on this decision, and has no evidence to the contrary. Imagine how close minded you'd have to be to believe that. The confirmation bias out there is simply breath taking

Is there any science that says that having a football season is safer than not having a football season?

Pretty sure that science is all pointing in the same direction on that question. It's just a matter of what is acceptable risk since playing a football season (or any kind of sport season) involves risk even without occurring during the middle of a pandemic/epidemic. That's more a fuzzy question.

I think with MLB starting up this weekend will help ease alot of people's minds. and if NO FANS is what it takes, screw it. have no fans. That would allow people to have that ease of mind.

Very few would lose their jobs........just wish they would quit wasting time and make preparations to have a season.
