• Big Sky Virtual Kickoff July 23-24
    I agree with you on that. Not sure when the Big Sky will decide, but that what I’m expecting.

    As for San Diego, their closest games are Davis and Poly, both in state. And those get cancelled
  • COVID-19
    I agree; from the little I’ve watched , they don’t seem to be follow their protocols. And who knows what is happening away from the field.
  • COVID-19
    13 members of Miami Marlins test positive after first road trip. That doesn’t bode well for a successful completion of the baseball season.
  • Big Sky Virtual Kickoff July 23-24
    Missouri Valley said ‘business as usual’ in an announcement today. They are less spread geographically and in states less impacted, so maybe they can pull it off. Big Sky is much more challenging. I can’t imagine San Diego’s conference will try for fall
  • 2020 All-Big Sky Preseason Team
    stats don’t lie! I didn’t realize the differences between the 3, especially Dotson. I thought Davis was out part of last year, which might be part of the reason his numbers are lower.
  • 2020 All-Big Sky Preseason Team
    that was my first thought, but I think Sac or Weber fans would say the same if he had made it. Hard to argue against any of the three.
  • Big Sky Virtual Kickoff July 23-24
    Anything interesting from the commissioner? I believe these were taped last week from what I understand. At least our contributions were.
  • Lock Down Stress Relievers
    any streaming suggestions? We watched Bosch (we both had read all the books before), and then have been re-reading the books in order. Having a hard time finding series we like. My wife gets worn down by the sex and language that seems to be overused on Netflix series. Schitt’s Creek has been fun but we’re getting close to the end. We might go back and watch Friday Night Lights and West Wing.
  • Lock Down Stress Relievers
    I like country music and I can usually find an artist doing a virtual show every day. Saturdays they have been doing the Grand Old Opry (empty) with two or three performers (usually old timers!)

    Early on, the various Aggie podcasts were good. Hawk talks were very entertaining. We also had 3-4 team Aggie zoom get togethers with Blue and coaches. Those have stopped unfortunately but I suspect they might be on hold until there is more clarification on fall, since 99% of the audience questions are on that subject (and there are no answers)
  • Lock Down Stress Relievers
    I think reaching out to friends in some form is important. I’ve been trying to do that on a regular basis with my single friends. Just being out and among other people is healthy. We often get food to go and sit in a downtown park where we can people watch and get some fresh air.

    My mom is an active 86, who has lost the ability to do her volunteer work, have her weekly lunch group, and visit the library. We talk often on the phone and try to have backyard lunch when possible to help keep her positive. She hasn’t seen great grandkids since XMAS, and it’s not clear when she’ll get a chance to. That’s sad for her and me.
  • 2021 Football Recruiting
    On his Twitter he mentioned he was going ahead with plan to enroll early. With high school football now January-April, that might mean skipping senior season
  • Lock Down Stress Relievers
    I retired April 1 so it’s been a little challenging to go to the abrupt SIP straight from working. No gym, no golf (for the first couple of months) and a couple of my possible volunteer areas on hold. I might borrow my son’s old bike and ride a bit; like AgAlum, I’m a little nervous about finding a route that’s safe. We have some nice paved trails here but they are all on the other side of town.
  • FCS Patriot League cancels fall sports
    Pretty sure we’ll be following suit.
  • Lock Down Stress Relievers
    Minimize and control my time with the news. I avoid TV news and focus on newspaper and/or online media. I find I have more control over how I take in the tone and amount of the narrative, and that dampen the stress buildup.

    Work around the yard and garden ALOT. I like the feel of soil on my hands, and sun in my skin. Add some music on my headphones and I’m happy.

    Lots of walks. My body is too broken down for running, so I’m trying to find low impact aerobic exercises to substitute for cardio I did at the gym.

    I wish I were handier so I could take on some bigger household jobs, but that’s just not my area!

    Hang around our grandkids and provide them a little joy and stability. That’s been a lifesaver. That and occasional midweek (less crowded) short trips to our cabin.
  • FCS Patriot League cancels fall sports
    Playoffs seem like they wouldn’t be part of spring season. I think coaches would go for it like normal. Maybe rely on the seniors since you don’t have to worry about their health come fall
  • Davis Sport Shop is Closing after 64 Years
    I think DSS was heading this direction without the virus. Lots of competition out there, including the downtown Aggie Pride store.
  • FCS Patriot League cancels fall sports
    I agree; you just don’t want it to end to close to the ‘normal’ start of 2021 season.
  • FCS Patriot League cancels fall sports
    beats me. Have to be conference only to do that. January outdoor football in Montana or EWU? Yikes
  • FCS Patriot League cancels fall sports
    The Big Sky virtual meeting was moved up to next week. I’m not expecting a positive message coming from HQ then.
