For Maniac: U of MN to prevent fans for spring sports

[froginmn]

Need @tcumaniac to call the U of Minnesota ticket office to ask why they won't allow any fans for baseball, softball, and other spring sports.

And to stop complaining about TCU'S policies.... sigh.

I don’t need to call the land of Ilhan Omar to ask why. The answer is simple. They are darning idiots.

I used to laugh at how Jason Lewis would refer to a part of Minneapolis as Mogadishu North. I didn't realize the accuracy of that comment until I started taking classes at Augsburg. The funny part is there are other schools using the same facilities as the U that are allowing fans in those games.

My biggest fear is that they won't figure out football in time. I got a tailgate spot (for the first time) for last fall, and things shut down. Got my hopes up for being able to use it this fall, and now I'm not so sure.

Wow you are a devoted fan going all the way from northern New Mexico to Minnesota for a football game.

While I don’t agree with every policy Texas/Tarrant Co/TCU have perused or adopted re Covid I do thank God that I live here rather than about 40 or so other states considering the incredible restrictions they have enforced

Can take a chance on rowing the boat through the COVID

To your point, the "last chance qualifier" for the US Olympic trials for wrestling is this weekend in Ft. Worth, and the US Olympic Trials are in Ft. Worth next weekend. So many of those types are travelling to The Fort this weekend and so far M<ANY of them have tweeted out that they would love to live in Texas cause it's like the Covid never hit here. Many of them come from the NorthEast.

I thank god EVERY DAMN DAY that I live in Texas. My 7th grader has been in school since August and that alone is a good enough reason. Wonder how much longer we'll be able to say that about his state???

 

[steelfrog]

Steel has a number of out-of-state cases going on right now and it is a delight to talk to the lawyers in such places as Chicago and Atlanta and for them to realize that Steel has been working in his own office this entire time, has been getting haircuts since April of last year, and been eating out seemingly unabated since the beginning. They are so screwed, and guess what--their rate of deaths etc is no better than ours, if not worse.

In effect he is: Everyone else has him on ignore.

And interesting that he was able to live up to his name. Lots of pressure when you're named after Dan Gable...

Right, and he had that incident a year or two ago about which you are no doubt aware which could have derailed any kid but he survived it, so good on him.

Since my company’s US affiliate HQ is in NJ, I’ve had ample opportunity to share with my colleagues that I’ve been eating in restaurants 3-4 a week, attending small concerts, and all sorts of things since May/June that they STILL aren’t doing. Even joined Instagram just so I could share with them in real time. I’m about to promote one of my employees to another division (lives in Austin). That job has not been posted and I have over 50 resumes from internal candidates wanting the backfill.

 

[Moose Stuff]

Stunning and sad to me that so many places are still living in fear. I get the most bizarre looks from people as I travel the country when I tell them what things are like in Texas. We've done an unbelievable job of scaring the average human into submission by robbing them of the necessary information about this virus. That combined with the sheer ignorance of so many people is a pitiful combination.
