    I canceled my vacation days around the Oregon game a couple of weeks ago since we didn't even want to make the trip if the game was played.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    Its going to be a shitty season. I could see random games being cancelled throughout the season, random players are going to miss games. Random teams may end up cancelling their seasons in the middle? A lot of unknowns. I dont think keeping players/students at home is going to solve anything.

    But how about this scenario? The USA pulls out a COVID-19 miracle out of its ass in time for us to get a season but, oh no, now Notre Dame already has a bunch of empty spots in its schedule and NDSU has a matching open date.... a match made in football heaven!

    I'm guessing the odds of that happening are 3,720 to 1 but, hey, gotta have hope.

    Not to be negative for fans but a winner in this is Trey Lance. Can’t have a much better season than last. Stays in the first round discussion and will perform well in individual tests.

    Time will tell. NFL will decide if he is ready. Hopefully he will have an opportunity to prove his status. Maybe some semblance of sanity will return before September, however don't hold your breath.

    I don't think it will stop with just canceling OOC games, the whole season is toast across the board. But in the off chance it isn't, maybe football just cancels the OOC games. The MVFC can replace those lost games with other conference teams. NDSU don't play Western or Southern this year, and the third opening can be another bye.

    "too many" "not enough" "too high" "not enough" You are entitled to your opinion, but you provide no metric. What is too much or not enough?

    Here is a metric that is measurable: If people are dying from the virus because they can't get medical attention, then there is a problem. I might add, if people are dying because they should go to the hospital for something else, but they won't because of fear-mongering about COVID-19, this is just as big a problem. However, in no place in the US are people dying from the virus b/c of insufficient hospital capacity. As for it inevitably coming as you seem to assert - the data doesn't support this.

    We are getting off topic here, but should NDSU open up this fall including football (and other sports)? I say yes.
    In an irresponsible way? No.
    They should see a two-week drop in coronavirus cases, indicating that the virus is actually abating. They should have fewer than four daily new cases per 100,000 people per day — to show that cases aren’t just dropping, but also below dangerous levels. They need at least 150 new tests per 100,000 people per day, letting them quickly track and contain outbreaks. They need an overall positive rate for tests below 5 percent — another critical indicator for testing capacity. And states should have at least 40 percent of their ICU beds free to actually treat an influx of people stricken with Covid-19 should it be necessary.

    If people are dying from the virus because they can’t get medical attention, then you are way, way past the problem point.

    In Arizona it’s happening right now. Out of ICU beds in some municipalities.

    I didn’t say inevitable. Just because they aren’t adequately prepared doesn’t mean they can’t get lucky.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    I agree. In a month when fall sports are done, we'll be thinking, "remember when we were mad we lost the Oregon game?"
