OT: Ann Arbor hosting Oct. 15 2020 Presidential Debate [LOCKED]
this is simply a logistical heads up (not breaking the "no politics" rule) to note that MSU v UM is Oct. 10th, and this debate will be Oct 15th at Crisler - prestigious "get" for the University
also, Jane (as usual) is right: https://twitter.com/cjane87/status/1182701269460410370
MOD EDIT: Useful notice but went political

This thread will end better than that week in Ann Arbor will. Presidential debates bring out the absolute worst of each "team."

One of the candidates during the last time around had a rally in the city I was living in when I was in school and it was a circus. Traffic jammed, protestors and counter protestors blocking traffic. Can only imagine what chaos having a debate might bring to town.

Just before the 2016 election when it looked like Michigan might be in trouble for Clinton, Obama showed up in A2 for a rally. 94 was toast.

Hillary “I’m not going to campaign in PA MI or WI bc they’re in the bag and I’m gonna go to TX and GA cuz fuck all common sense” Clinton.

Ain't that true. Hillary blew that election big time. Calling half the population deplorable didn't work very well, either. The arrogance was breathtaking. She lost to Donald Trump. Almost impossible to imagine (at least before November 2016). I can't get that out of my mind.

I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with logistics and everything to do with politics. Call it what it is.
Either way, I assume parking at Pioneer will be about $200

Enlist the services of the Supreme Court Justices to referee. Put zebra outfits on the Justices and have them hold up numbered signs that rank responses.
Media timeouts can be programmed in between question. Red hat will control the tempo.

What's the logistical part of the football game? The game is at MSU. And there's no home game the next weekend either (10/17), so there's a home game gap from 10/3 to 10/24.

I assume they'll ask each candidate about the QB position and why it sucks. And yes, that's a year out and will not be Patterson, but it's sort of an evergreen question around these parts.

I think people are just tired of talking about it. At this point, everyone already has a side.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the obvious likelihood that if the presumed Republican candidate is nominated that this debate won't actually happen.
