Speaking of BDB, I dropped off a load of furniture for one daughter in Menomonie today and as I like to do here and also in years past - Dinky Town for our oldest, I grab a DQ and check out the football stadium. The COVID situation hits home when you look at the football facilities and consider the atmosphere on campus this fall. What an odd fall we have coming up.

The Mount Union campus and stadium look much like what you saw. Probably, when you've seen one, you've seen them all. We'll make it through, thanks to reruns.
Stay safe and stay well, "Old one"! (See my signature below). 🍺 🏈 🎓 😷

This year with football will separate a ton of schools.  It is shocking to see kids transferring at all levels in hopes of playing this fall.  At the JH and HS level kids are transferring just in hopes of getting on the field this fall, and some are moving between states.  If there is a spring season I wonder how many will work the system to play in the fall and the spring and not do the 7 on 7.  In DFW we have kids in the same school district where one school can practice now and play games in a few weeks while its rival isn't allowed to practice for another month with games to follow much later. 

If you ever watch Friday Night Lights and the specials on Dallas Carter one story to follow is the punishments for rules infractions for certain people and schools that don't seem to apply to other schools.  I won't go so far as to say state championships have been bought, but there are systems in place that clearly favor certain suburban schools.

OldAuggie, the university just finished a month long refresh of the seating part of the stadium. They removed all the benches and reserved seats and put down a fresh coating of paint etc. So, it's now sitting there all dressed up and no where to go.

That makes sense as the stadium looked very sharp and the colors on the field looked bright too. The scoreboard has the time of day on the game clock and that caused me to hit a low point when my brain realized there will be no football at all this fall. Thankfully, the in-person students in the parking lot will know if they can get to class on time.

Hunting license sales will increase just as fishing license sales increased this spring.

Not as old as you but if I could take back the last 40 years please and get a do-over?

Reminds me I have to go renew my license.  What all is open in Minnesota and Wisconsin?  I am still planning on a trip as modified as it may be now.

Though the MIAC has stated some sports will still be played St. Olaf announced today that no teams will be competing.

BIG10 cancels fall football season, plans to play in the spring.

I wonder if anyone in the B1G office thought to google "cheap rapid covid testing."

Hopefully by spring we'll have things under control better so they can play. I'm optimistic. Heck, Russias got a vaccine ready. I heard some speculation that the vaccine is just vodka, so I'm going to do some science later. If I drink enough, it'll be a double-blind experiment.

That's funny.
There's got to be a way to work "placebo" into that story as well?

Unfortunately, the rapid covid test is not as accurate as the one that takes 48-72 hours. Therein was one part of the problem in delayed results for testing,, not only weekly, but for game days. That dilemma was not limited to just to DI, but our DIII and DII as well.

Pretty sure that comment from jamtod was a cheap, Tommie jab.

Is there any other kind?

Better than on Twitter where I made a bunch of Brits mad by making a joke about funding the IRA (gotta save on my taxes)
