Monsanto and climate change unearthed the bat in China...next we will learn that the victims become zombies...

I do want to call out that it isn’t just the sporting events. They are the prescient example, but It’s American institutions and way of life. We don’t prevent arenas from selling alcohol and corn syrup and other things that lead to the pandemics in this country that kill on a way bigger scale than Covid19...Diabetes, cancer, alcoholism

It is callous, but everybody dies. The world is here for the living. You lose a regiment to win a war. What is the greater good? Protect everyone who might get sick (who might get sick anyway btw) or continue living the great American experiment? We can’t live in fear of biology.

Don’t walk outside, you could die.

Western MI is on outside looking in with a sweep of SCSU possibly putting them into the top 15 in PWR...

Nowhere near this panic

Totally agree that it’s risk management. ensuring financial liquidity and preventing lawsuits would have been a smart move from the federal govt.

I appreciate your opinion and very much appreciate how you ended your post- such is the way it should be in this great country. Fear and the reactions of people are the greater danger than the pathogen itself. With six degrees of separation, it doesn’t take much to quarantine all of society. Is this virus such a threat that stopping its spread is more important than living our normal lives? I haven’t seen facts that indicate that it is. The simple reality is this virus is here to stay now...it will come every year. We will eventually vaccinate, but it will mutate- just like flu and other Coronaviruses. if society shuts down from natural pathogens- we are at midnight on the doomsday clock.

Do they shut it down if a player gets influenza or measles? They certainly don’t from STIs....

Never a bad idea to be prepared. My grandfathers taught me to live off the land if need be. Fishing tackle, shotgun, rifle, ammo, water purification, sleeping bags, batteries, Matches, some basic medicines- you can live a very long time.

The shutting down of American Institutions like the NCAA tournaments and the NBA send the completely wrong message. It invokes greater fear.

I’m with you on this. I feel like the actions being taken are akin to throwing gasoline on a fire...I understand that people are being cautious of a bad case scenario, but wow. we live in a biological world and we are biological organisms. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. Not to be callous, but the old and compromised who are vulnerable to Covid19 are also vulnerable to any number of pathogens as well as the extremely deadly fall and broken hip. perspective: 37 deaths in US so far from Covid19...49 deaths per year on average in the US from lightning strikes... I recognize that we are early in the potential exponential growth of this virus, and it could get worse. The common sense approach as opposed to the shut down everything approach seemed like the more rationale management strategy. Politics and risk management (aka lawsuits) seem to be the order of the day rather than common sense. Which is unfortunate. the doomsday scenario with people dying in the halls of hospitals while the lucky get vented seems like science fiction. If I’m wrong, then we’re all in deep !@#$.

The voters that left Pinto off their ballots should be ashamed.

I haven’t watched Washe specifically, but generally speaking it’s about not standing square, keeping your stick slightly above the ice, putting your stick into the red dot, not honoring the attacking player first stick on ice rule, etc.

Every center cheats on the draw...it’s kind of like offensive line holding in the NFL...to what degree

I think they are talking about breaking a PWR tie using RPI, which is what the NCAA uses, per my understanding.

I think I’m with you. Here’s what I have: worcester: UND vs Atlantic Umass vs Clarkson allentown: Mankato vs Maine PSU vs Lowell albany: Cornell vs Michigan BC vs OSU loveland: UMD vs ASU DU vs BSU

I don’t respect Omaha enough to hate them...in fact, I forget they exist until we play them and they cry and act classless.

I misquoted this morning. It’s a swap between OSU and Lowell. So just 10 and 11. stupid time change and posting early...I’m on Pacific time...

I think a little pressure from the league for Omaha to consider a coaching change could do wonders to help their program....

Agree. We didn’t hate Gwoz. We loved to hate on Gwoz. Big difference.

Note, my approach has bracket integrity and host schools trumping (not adding to this morning’s political leanings) geography for #1 seeds.

Looking this morning like you can keep Bracket Integrity with all but a Texas two step with the 13, 14, 15 seeds to avoid intraconference matchups. I’ve got UND in Worcester this morning.

This is why the internet sucks.

It’s the standard tournament classification 1. Elite 2. AAA 3. AA 4. A As I stated earlier, if that’s what you took from my post my point was missed. My reference to my own kid was intended to create an understanding, and frame of reference. In particular, that I am not a sour grapes parent upset that little Johnny isn’t winning, developing or getting ice time. It was intended to add credibility to the broader message. Summation is my kid and I could not be happier with the outcome of the model I describe.
