    There are other threads for your genius now.
    Buffalo.Rider seams to have had the same issue, maybe they aren’t subscribed to those threads either?

    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

    Testing has gone down the past 5-6 weeks and their positive case rate is also increasing.

    "a disaster waiting to happen" ? Yes, the sky is falling too.

    "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.

    I really don't think that the Oregon game is going to happen.

    Unfortunately, I agree with you.

    I am thinking the decision will be made for NDSU on no football by outside entities (other schools, conference, NCAA, etc....) This is very similar to the spring where every day it starts to look more and more like football will be cancelled entirely.

    Yep

    Here it comes folks. Guessing you can forget about the Ducks. Let's hope this is where it stops. And to think we had this thing on the ropes but just got a little too complacent ... Oh well

    Pretty much sucks at this point and I'll be overjoyed for just a conference slate. Holding out hope for that. If not, slap together some "unofficial" scrimmages with willing conference mates and put it on pay per view?
