No positives on the team, but can't practice together. 

Science.

 

NM can't even practice?

Looking very likely that New Mexico won't be playing next weekend, either.

This is what I don't understand. I thought the MWC sat down with NM and CA prior to the announcement of moving forward with 8-game conference only schedule to make sure they were on board and it could be done under their respective guidelines. Where was the breakdown before they even get to game 1? 

Our Communist Governor is where the breakdown began. None of her restrictions have worked. New Mexico is blowing up with cases even though the Governor’s restrictions are among the top 5 strictest in the country. It’s going to take at least decade for New Mexico to recover economically.

Wrong. While I don’t  agree with everything the governor is doing about handling covid19 and the restrictions, the ultimate fault for the virus spreading are New Mexicans. 
Refusing to wear masks, fighting people who insist they wear masks in public. People without masks, intentionally coughing in their faces too. Casino cases are going up too, but since they are on sovereign land... 
Blame the governor? Yeah, ok... but blame the people In the state as well, who don’t want to take this virus seriously! Outside of the Albuquerque/Santa Fe metro areas, NM is a red state, and they love trump, who has told them not to fear it.

¿How long did it take her to assume all the means of production in the State?

I would be on Sean's side on this. My opinion is that this has been lazy governance. The vast majority of the population is in the Santa Fe / Albuquerque/Las Cruces corriderr  where the most recent spike has occurred. While much of the rest of the state is conservative, some of the most hard hit areas are staunchly democrat Native populations. Close down the hot spots for sure but areas without these spikes should be allowed to function. There have been days where the IHS didn't have a covid patient in house. Meanwhile, more than 50 percent of HS students have a failing grade in at least 1 subject, double the teen suicide rates in our area. Kids are leaving for other states to play sports. Economic growth is at a standstill and commercial real estate vacancies everywhere. Multiple studies show that schools are not superspreader sites. I've not had anyone refuse to wear a mask in my office. Many don't wear them correctly but the effort is there. I was at Safeway in my little redneck Trump loving part of NM  this afternoon and 100% of them were wearing masks.

Plenty of healthy, low risk people have died of all ages.. It’s just too bad America’s cavalier, free spirit, rebel laced attitude is causing more problems then good when getting this under control.. So many simple, coordinated steps could make a huge difference.. Look at countries doing well with Covid in Europe and Asia.. Some countries with major authoritarian governments as well as democracies..

America’s Freedom: Live by the sword, die by the sword. 

Except it’s not the rebel types at all.  It’s the authoritarian follow whatever dear leader says is true type regardless of science.

Here's a zoom call with the AD and coach G. explaining the situation. According to them, they had little heads up this was coming... you decide...

 

"Before I die we will hold up the 5th conference championship for this school" - 
new Mexico football coach

How embarrassing for you guys that he brings up that new Mexico only has 4 conference championships.  The last being in 1964.  What the actual f**k???  And it's not like UNM has even been close to being in the conference title conversation long before joining the MWC.  

Perrennial bottom dweller UNM doesn't have the facilities, athletes, or tradition to compete and it's time for new Mexico to leave.  

 

UNM record against MWC:

I was about to ask what political party your Governor belongs to when I saw the previous post here which read as follows:  "Our Governor is a dictator. 14 day quarantine. It's like we're a foreign country (most people think that anyway)."  And I knew immediately that the answer to my question was DEMOCRAT. 

After the election is over, a lot of blue states will start opening  up.

It’s very simple. Just let the governor know that the UNM football team and other schools are going to get together in solidarity to partake an anti-Trump/BLM rally’s at FB stadiums locally and in others states. We all know the virus gets scared shitless and self destructs at these kinds of events.

People need to start investing in fire shelters just like people have invested in storm shelters. They can be put into the ground very cheap.

The incident command team has mentioned over and over how thankful they are that Rocky Mountain National Park has a policy of proactive fuel management and that has made all the difference in stopping the fire (so far) from getting into Estes Park.

Hmmmmm?

Lightning can start a fire anywhere and certainly near homes, and if there’s wind blowing your direction, nothing is going to stop it if it’s really close. So there’s no reason at all not to have a shelter. It’ll give your family piece of mind during fire season.
