Just yesterday coach K suggested we should be pausing the season (something I don't agree with). It's a shame people can't keep it on topic and have to go over-the-top in responses, but the elephant in the room here is that at any moment someone related to the mens program could test positive and we'd shut down for two weeks. Even worse, if such an event happened in mid-March we'd be disqualified from the NCAA tournament. majerus mojo and SLU_Lax like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pistol Posted December 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2020 I can't believe we're still getting the same bad COVID takes from April in December. How many times do you need to be wrong about a thing before changing your mind? How much evidence, information, and data could you possibly require? It's the same 5 or so posters who get triggered every time someone mentions it, as if we can avoid discussing the single most important factor shaping this basketball season. 28 teams have yet to play a game, including 3 in the A10. A couple dozen more have cancelled or postponed games after being shelved for some amount of time. The people snapping about this, being ignorant, and trashing our own players' deceased family members could do us all a favor and grow up. It's possible to have a reasonable discussion about this, and it's insulting to pretend like we can't talk about - once again - by far the single most important element of this season. jweste216, RUBillsFan, hmart23 and 8 others like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, you and your ilk will never let it go...... dennis_w likes this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Steve: "If anyone brings the repulsive garbage that was in this thread to other threads, which have stayed relatively clean, I will have a very short leash for banning." Are you one of the privileged elite, Pistol who are exempt from following the rules? I thought it was very proper that Steve put a stop to the crap that was very divisive. I know from personal experience that he banned a number of people who engaged. You contribute to the board in a number of positive ways. A lot of people, including myself, really appreciate your insights on Billikens basketball. You get lots of recognition for it. Why can't you leave it at that? You KNOW that topic is going to cause major division on this board...yet you, and some others won't let it go. Most people come here for basketball and want to get away from the garbage. I have to follow the rules...why don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SluSignGuy Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I agree that discussing the COVID implications for March Madness is a fair topic, but this topic has also devolved from this topic. I, therefore, am closing this thread [in may reopen on the new server, but I will close it there too] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
