    All Things COVID-19 College Football Impact

    Do Governors and Mayors have absolute power at a 10% death rate? a 5% death rate? A .05% death rate? Does anyone not find it strange that we are not talking on actual numerical terms? I may have to run for Governor next election. I promise to back my decisions with logic and numbers for all to...

    All Things COVID-19 College Football Impact

    What is the numerical point at which government power is absolute? I think it is critical to talk actual numbers. We have really good indication of the health impact of COVID, but there is little to no discussion on the **collective impact** society is placing on itself to **possibly** slow its...

    I will give you a head start on your answer. According to the CDC (https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Death-Counts-by-Sex-Age-and-S/9bhg-hcku), Flu/Pneumonia deaths surpass COVID deaths for every age group irrespective of health. The data collection noted from the CDC is...

    Pete Thamel: Time to face reality: ‘No one is playing college football in the fall’

    Look, I have ran teams that have created some of the most sophisticated models in the world. Most of these people were talking foolishly about COVID and the "models" they were pitching could be dismissed in seconds. If you are going to pay for something, you had better know what you are getting...

    Pete Thamel: Time to face reality: ‘No one is playing college football in the fall’

    Do politics have to enter every conversation? I am an independent and the goofs on both sides have to have opinions that fall in line with the party they support. People should think for themselves...it's long over due. Death rate matters more than infection rate unless infection rate means...

    Pete Thamel: Time to face reality: ‘No one is playing college football in the fall’

    Minus mutations, it would also stand to make sense that the death rate will continue to decline, which already has already occurred. Additionally, for college age and younger more people have lost their life to influenza/pneumonia since this began and we were post influenza season. Everyone...

    STrib: The sports fan experience might never be the same

    Gophers Recruiting CB Avante Dickerson Again Now That He's In Portal

    Fleck is doing a great job. Great programs are built by great coaches. Every step in the right direction is a productive step. It's nice to have a few leaps in between.

    USA Today: Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh discusses coronavirus in interview, shifts conversation to abortion

    What amazes me about this thread is how little people actually listen to each other. When arguments fall short name calling and put downs are a cheap replacement. This only servers to diminish your credibility and your argument. Each side feels it is morally superior and the other side's...

    All Things Kerwin Walton Recruitment Thread (Class of 2020)

    Having led some of the most sophisticated modeling teams in financial services, which is extremely complex, forget some of these models. Common sense and data from worldometer will give you as good of a prediction as these models. There is a lot of misinformation out there including how...

    Marcus Carr declares for NBA Draft

    Alchemy, I would assume most people are probably happy for any individual success of any players. I also think it is okay for people to express their opinions on a message board as they see fit. Many people fought long and hard to be able to openly express opinions. There are places that...

    Bigger Ten - “Should we cancel the college football season?”

    Marcus: Hitting on a big-time transfer would put Gophers right in the middle of the pack of BT

    Cayman, these do not have to be mutually exclusive concepts. I do not see this as an either/or. It *appears* the coach did and got neither/nor. I am not pointing fingers. There is a difference between saying someone sucks and pointing at facts and the truth. I have never been overly...

    Marcus: Hitting on a big-time transfer would put Gophers right in the middle of the pack of BT

    Freeman played 8 games, Ihnen and Omersa averaged 11 minutes. As of right now, these three along with return of Curry and new freshman Mitchell are our front court. I think we would be better off next year if they received more playing time this year. Do you disagree? I am not saying Pitino...

    Transfer list possibilities, Spring 2020

    It is the coach's job to help the player understand the right play makes him a better player and the team better. Offense is based on trust. If I trust you will get me the ball when I am open and you the same, it is a *completely* different game. Our offense has been average. Fine implies...
