Covid Participation Question:

Ok. I know this isn't about football but I have a question. I heard about a Coach in volleyball who's team is headed to state, who just came down with Covid. The team is still able to go to state. Just wonder how that can be. If a player comes down with covid the season is over for the team. Trying to understand the difference.

We voted in Eureka, Missouri

The lines were very long ( About an hour plus wait ) Everyone was very polite on the outside and wearing a mask, everyone in the building was required to wear masks. I voted a split ticket but voted for Joe Biden for president. I voted for Don Trump in 2016 because we needed a change. I'm sure Missouri will go Republican this year but there were lots of 20-25 year old's voting.

Most posters have had their say about the Trump-Biden ticket. It appears to me this crap board has very informed people voting today however some will vote for party regardless of the crimes attached to the party. I have seen only one poster predicting a Trump win today and that was Chris Gardner. Do we have others predicting Trump to be reelected?

In case of a tie between Don Trump and Joe Biden ( What happens next )

It appears the ' House of Representatives " will have the responsibility of selecting our next President.

I'm not sure if this would be fair for Don Trump since the House is controlled by Democrats. A tie is possible.

i can see Don Trump and the Republicans not on board with the constitution on this one. Don Trump has stated on many occasions " He is a Constitution Dude "

Don Trump wants to fire Fauci if he is reelected

It appears Fauci does not agree with Trump's statement of " America is rounding the corner " in the fight against Covid-19. We as Americans know Don Trump's answer for disagreements, Yes Trump wants him fired. Federal law states Trump does not have the power to fire one of the most trusted " Disease Experts on the planet ". I'm guessing most Republicans will stand with Trump on this one if he defeats the odds and is reelected for a second term.

Don Trump did indeed lie to the America people concerning Covid-19 back in January-February and called it a " Democrat Hoax " the non informed believed him. Since then Trump has stated he knows more the the experts concerning Covid-19 and most of his flock believe the " World's greatest lier".

America go to the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 3 to decide if we want Don Trump as president for four more years or to fire him. Trump is an underdog in most key states for his reelection however Trump is telling his flock, we are winning,

The Stock market is up big today after big declines last week. The Democrats are saying the reason for today's stock market increase is because Biden is favored to be our next president. Stock market increases usually do better under Democrats then Republicans if we judge over the last 30 plus years however America is in a different position following Don Trump. Nobody trust our elected official any more. I'm not sure any President can guide us out of the mess were are in.

Any of Trump's Dude want Fauci to be fired?

Eligibility Going Forward?

It seems we are moving back to a "phase 1" environment very soon if we follow Europe again, and that sucks.
I have bad feeling the winter sports are going to get postponed until the spring, including college sports possibly.
I know up until this point you had 4 years to complete your MSHSAA eligibility..Will parents and their kids decide to stay back another year if given the choice?
I don't think many of us thought that was going to be the case earlier on this year, but now with the NCAA giving an extra year of eligibility to all the athletes it changes the game.
Most high schoolers want to get out, but I would say the opposite is true in college. Most of us would have chose to stay in college another year if it was being paid for.
So where are the scholarships going to be for incoming freshman?
If MSHSAA reverses that 4 year rule, will the floodgates open and you have a domino effect all the way into the middle schools of kids staying another year. I would think they are well aware of the NCAA decision and the impact that has on the 2021 high school graduating class.

LeBLond is done

From Twitter: (St Joseph) Bishop LeBlond becomes the second team in St. Joseph forced to end its football season due to COVID-19. The Golden Eagles reported positive cases within the team, forcing them to cancel Friday’s district opener and ending the season.

Who is more corrupt Don Trump or Joe Biden according to polls

According to resent Polling Don Trump and his family is more corrupt then Joe Biden and his family.

Don Trump--55% believe Trump and his family are corrupt
-----------------35% believe Trump and his family are not corrupt

Joe Biden---40% believe Biden and his family are corrupt
----------------47% believe Biden and his family are not corrupt.

The America people have a choice next Tuesday on the above. If voters believe the above, Some degree of Corruption will be in the White House unless the House and Senate does their job of " holding Accountability for either Trump or Biden. It appears to me we need new people in both the House and Senate who will vote for what is right instead of voting for the party. The incumbents should be voted out based on their past record of party voting.

Kane for my late season surge also a special thanks to Rush Propst for all the special content he has created over the years also a big shout out to @Mike Winchell for running the MRVC pick' em and finally a huge thanks to @RawMeat for keeping the forum peppery

and the fun stats

Just read 3 schools close to Columbia Missouri have closed their schools for 2 weeks to many teachers tested positive. They will not start sports until Nove 4 that means no districts in any fall sport. South Calloway, Versailles, New Bloomfield. That is just the start of things to come. The virus is getting worse as the weather gets colder and we are stuck inside.

MSHSAA has announced BIG changes to the 24-25 season

Seems like MSHSAA got tired of the complaining and decided to make some changes. With the major one being:

  • Decreasing the amount of Classes from six to two (One for public schools, one for privates regardless of enrollment).

The small rural public schools will finally get their wishes to separate public from private, however STILL don't stand a chance. The next complaint and suggestion will be...

"We need to separate city schools from rural schools. The city with all of their high paying jobs and educational resources are stealing families and athletes from rural Missouri and offering Free tuition to All-Star football players".

🤣

[UPDATED] A few COC Stats

Though I would look at some numbers from the COC and see if anything interesting stuck out. Nixa on paper is considerably better than anyone else. They are solid on both offense AND defense. Joplin in spite of being only 2pts behind Nixa on offense, has a defense that is essentially a tie for second worst. Carthage has not averaged as much offense as Webb City but has won their games by a slightly wider margin. Neosho...man those kids are having a hard time in wildcat country.

Of course this is only based on a partial season (and a weird one) so not everyone has played the same teams or strength of schedule.

Anybody else still undecided or uneasy about who they are voting for in the upcoming election?

Man just when I think I see myself voting this way....something stupid happens. And when I tell people I know that I am undecided both sides are equally hateful, and that turns me off more to their candidate. Sorry to me this is like eating a SH*# sandwich and trying to decide between ruffled or non-ruffled potato chips.
I lean conservative on many issues but find it hard to vote Trump not because of his policies but because of how he carries himself and the way many others in the party act. I always ask myself is this the sort of man I would want to work for or leading my company and the answer is usually no....but to that he has tried to do what he said he would do? Also I know that Trump and the Senate have every right to move forward with the nomination and confirmation on the Supreme court. But to me they are all going against their word no matter how they try to spin and rationalize it, and that turns me off, In fact before this I would be more likely to Vote republican if they would hold off until after the election show me you are good for you word, I want people who I know I can count on when they give me their word and not change that when it benefits them, that worries me about their overall principles...WWJD?

However I find it hard to support Biden because well I lean conservative, and looking at his track record he has screwed the middle class many times in his 47 years in office well he was a senator for Delaware after all the corporate headquarter capital. I would say he is personally responsible for the student debt crisis that affects many parents and college students today, by making it easier for students and parents to take out loans, and then when people started having issues paying those loans back he made it impossible to discharge those student loans, birthing a predatory student loan industry. There are many other things that he supports that I have issues with...but really it is like putting weights on a scale, I find one thing I hate about Biden and I will find something about Trump.

So here I am undecided....trying to figure out which side I want with my $%^& sandwich....
