Imagine if they were hired to build Southwest University Park!
They would still be building it! LOL
Alabama, especially Birmingham, has way bigger problems.
"According to the Alabama Department of Health, over the last 7 days, there have been 1,100 hospital admissions per day.
Right now, there are 211 ICU beds available in the state."

All our southern CUSA are in "oh shit" mode right not. Million dollar stadiums, Primetime's son going to where ever in CUSA, UTEP box seats coming along nicely? Who cares at this point. With Kugler, Dimel and now Covid doing a one two punch, UTEP may not survive.
In El Paso, it will take weeks at the soonest to hopefully see a bend. This goes for the rest of the Bible belt states.

I assume you meant to say "bed"? Do you have any proof to back up that claim?

Might as well be 100% because you can't social distance using every other seat, which is what 50% would mean.
if they’re all solo seats, yeah. I don’t think it will matter anyway. It will be 0% or no game at all.
Do you actually believe that or believe it’s just AD speak? Most of these guys are saying that, believing the 2020 season can be salvaged.
Over two months have passed and you ignored my bet request after this statement of yours.
It's AD talk. It's also nice to hear that the Big12 is trying everything to have a ”normal” season and at the moment, isn't looking to switch to a conference only schedule.
I responded months ago and you scoffed. I said we would play every game nonconference game with the possible exception of nevada and play eight conference games. You were opposed because I wouldnt commit to the eight conference games schelduled because I think we may end up getting three home and homes with UTSA ,UNT and Rice or La Tech.
So Texas Tech is going to play at the Sun Bowl in a little over a month?
Right because that is not what your statement said. You said ONLY the Nevada game, meaning ONLY the Nevada game was in danger. That’s when you went and backed away from your statement and said conference games would be changed, which boggles your original statement of “only the Nevada game”.
Smart decision. Vaccine testing is looking really good according to experts and looks to be out early 2021.
NMSU, UNM asked by governor to forgo football this fall due to virus

NMSU Aggie football players celebrate in the end zone during a game last season.
LAS CRUCES, New Mexico -- New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham was awaiting a response Wednesday from leaders of New Mexico State University and the University of New Mexico following a request that both forgo playing college football games this fall due to the coronavirus pandemic.
In a letter to university administrators, a copy of which was obtained by ABC-7, the governor cited "escalating danger" as virus cases rise significantly among young people in the state.

Roughly half of all new infections involve those in their 20s and 30s. While she acknowledged that the virus rarely causes death in those age groups, the governor noted research that shows it can cause long-lasting harm.
She said in the letter, which was first reported by the Albuquerque Journal, that it was "critical" to postpone college sports in the state until at least late this year or early next year.
“I know what I am asking you to contemplate is difficult and unprecedented, but these are difficult and unprecedented times,” Lujan Grisham wrote. “Fighting Covid-19 is a team sport. I am asking each of you to join me..."
Yahoo Sports quoted NMSU athletic director Mario Moccia as saying it was awaiting word from the NCAA and other schools before determining how to proceed. It quoted UNM as saying it would reconvene with the governor's office in the near future.

Grisham lives in some kind of fairyland where people don’t need to work for money to live.
I’m referring more to scaring off tourists in a state that depends on tourism.
I wouldn't say it "depends" on tourism. All states get millions of dollars from tourists.
About $5k right now. I'm waiting to see if the odds go lower and bet more then. After the debates Trump will be leading in the polls.

I’m also referring to the ridiculous idea that hoteliers quarantine their own customers.
I use predictit.com, but you can only bet a maximum of $850 there. But you can bet on Trump being President and a Republican nominee being President, so you can do $1,700 there.
Trump is +135 on other sites.
