"I understand the concerns that our Spring practices were disruptive and shut down. Everyone else programs were shut down also."
In the NFL, the Kansas City Chiefs as well as the Miami Dolphins are not practicing because of the shut down. When the shutdown ends, if they played on the first week, which team will have a better chance of winning a game between the two teams? I'm not saying that NDSU is that good or A&T is that bad but, I am saying that this shutdown will affect each team differently. I don't want to limp into this game without having enough time to properly prepare. In fact, I don't want to limp into any game we haven't had enough time to properly prepare.

A lot of people misunderstand the purpose of spring football practice .
1. Spring practice is, for the most part, about individual technique development of each player player .
2. It’s not establishing depth charts — that’s what preseason camp is for.
3. It’s not about establishing any offensive or defensive playbook beyond a base package. Again, that’ll come in August.
4. With the next and first opponent of your upcoming season still months away, it’s not about worrying about another program.

'69, "come on man", you sound like a wimp.
How do you know ND and Liberty won't come out of the gates limping, not confident and not prepared.
You are down grading our coaching staff, players, fans, program and administration.
Ali was banned from boxing from 1967 - 1971. That is 4 years. We will be out of sink for a few months, hopefully.
Get some confidence man and quit being afraid. Our band the BGMM ain't gone practice either. Do you think they gone be out of sink and timid against their first foe.
I bet you got confidence in them.
Where yo Aggie Pride brother?

C'mon man! September is 5 MONTHS away. If this crisis isn't resolved in the next 8 WEEKS, there's gonna be a lot other problems to combat. Can you imagine in 5 months what it's gonna be like in America with 10 million people without a regular income (and all the things that stem from lack of money), 20 million infected and 100,000 dead. That's the kind numbers 5 month would generate. That's a refugee scenario. We cannot go through the Summer with the virus still spreading, that not something we want to see, in fact April has to be the peak. MSNBC is reporting that Liberty has potentially 13 cases of COVID-19 since reopening, 3 in the hospital 10 quarantined, students have reported that they have been threatened to stay quiet on the subject. |

That's not my desire. I have my NDSU flight and hotel already taken care of. But I can see a scenario where we cancel or postpone that game.
Again...it's waaaaayyyy too early to call. It may be for the best, its reported that they have little to no COVI-19 threat there, which could mean they have been training! North Dakota State has been in a pandemic lock down the same as A&T since the big outbreak some four weeks ago. They went to on-line classes for the rest of the year, stopped or canceled all athletic activities for the foreseeable future, and cleared out their campus when they hit spring break back in early March. No advantage gained. Everyone is in the same boat. The only school that got their spring practice in was App State but they always have their spring practice in February anyway.

I do not know why in the hell we put Liberty University back on our schedule.
They made derogatory remarks about our team, coaches and school the last time we whupped their azz.
Their leadership of the school is strong conservative. Jerry Fallwell, Sr. was a racist and now his son who replaced him as president is racist also with poor decision making skills.
Jr. reopened the school with the Corona virus wide open and has risked the health of the students. Poor judgement on his part.
Our athletic department makes great decisions but to "me" scheduling Liberty was a bad one mainly because of their past and probably present negative views of our athletic department, athletes and university.

I think that was the time Aggie one and I was in the rain watching the game. That was a exciting game |

If I was and AD at an HBCU (and I'm not), I'd have to find another opponent. I don't want their money nor do I want to have my school associated with them. I like to support the Aggies at away games when I can, but how can I travel the Liberty knowing how they feel about us and people that look like me. |
