But why does it feel like the Wolf Pack never really played as well as it could in any game this year?

Coaches coach and players play and hardly any of them (none of the coaches and more than 90 percent of the players) would even be at the school in the first place if it wasn’t for football.

A state judge in Nevada heard arguments but made no immediate decision Thursday, Dec. 3, 2020 in a bid by the Donald Trump campaign to nullify the results of the statewide presidential election set to deliver six electoral votes to the Democrat, Joe Biden, based on his 33,596-vote victory. Jesse Binnall, the attorney heading the Trump challenge of the Nevada election on behalf of six Republican delegates to the Electoral College, told Judge James Todd Russell in Carson City that so many fraudulent votes were cast in Democratic-leaning Clark County that Trump won the state, not Biden.

President Trump has discussed with advisers whether to grant pre-emptive pardons to his children, to his son-in-law and to his personal lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, and talked with Mr. Giuliani about pardoning him as recently as last week, according to two people briefed on the matter. Mr. Trump has told others that he is concerned that a Biden Justice Department might seek retribution against the president by targeting the oldest three of his five children — Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump — as well as Ms. Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner, a White House senior adviser. Donald Trump Jr. had been under investigation by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, for contacts that the younger Mr. Trump had had with Russians offering damaging information on Hillary Clinton during the 2016 campaign, but he was never charged. Mr. Kushner provided false information to federal authorities about his contacts with foreigners for his security clearance, but was given one anyway by the president. The nature of Mr. Trump’s concern about any potential criminal exposure of Eric Trump or Ivanka Trump is unclear, although an investigation by the Manhattan district attorney into the Trump Organization has expanded to include tax write-offs on millions of dollars in consulting fees by the company, some of which appear to have gone to Ms. Trump.
