kshoe Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 19 hours ago, cgeldmacher said: When I read Chris May's most recent email, I found something interesting. Everything I am saying is paraphrasing, since I don't have the emails in front of me. In a prior email, he said that they were working with the City to try to develop a plan to have fans in the stands. In the most recent email, he said that they are working with the City and the school's administration. This may be completely incorrect and reading way too much between the lines, but I interpreted this to mean that school officials (Pesty?) was now an additional obstacle to having fans in the stands. I'm all for allowing fans in at some point and believe it can be done safely. But I also believe now is not the right time with the most recent increase in cases, county mandates, etc. I think doing so would look really tone death and isn't worth the backlash. If we had started the season a month ago, I think they would have had fans in the building. rgbilliken and RUBillsFan like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is unlikely we are going to get to a point this season where you can have a normal crowd, so what is the purpose of creating any level of increased risk by adding a small group of scattered fans in an indoor setting? The good news is that it appears that there is now a good outlook for normalcy the following season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidnark Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 ESPN+ is a stand alone package for about $5/month. You don't need Hulu, cable, youtubeTV, or any other service to subscribe to it. It is truly the best value in the world for sports viewing. My primary sports interests are college basketball and professional and international soccer; it is amazing how much content ESPN+ offers for those sports.

I was in St. Chuck a week or so ago and even the employees in QT were not wearing masks. Strange under the circumstances. Same story in Jeffco.

There's no mask mandate in St. Charles County or Jefferson County or New Madrid County which is right next door to Cape Girardeau County, which does. We are only as strong as our weakest link and the state has weak links all over the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taj79 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Just flew cross country from Baltimore to Phoenix with stop in St. Loo. Air travel was obviously down but we flew on Mondays to enhance those odds. Southwest was not crowded, no middle seats used. Masked at all times. Everyone at BWI and Sky Harbor were masked as far as I could tell. Dinner at Dominick's was crowded, more so than PA or MD. All employees masked. So it's a personal preference and people going to do what they want. There are no COVID cops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife's grandma is currently in the hospital with COVID and her aunt is really sick with COVID as well. My wife's great uncle (grandma's brother) died last week from complications due to COVID, less than 48 hours after being admitted. All of their cases get traced back to my wife's 2nd cousin who lives and works in Jeff Co where no mask mandate exists. She gave it to great uncle who gave it to his other sisters who then visited my wife's grandma who then gave it to my wife's aunt who takes care of grandma. Grandma and aunt live in STLCO. COVID doesn't care about county lines. Anywhooo, back to basketball and drinking....it sounds like I'll be going on my first 3 day bender in years! Drinking will commence at 6pm Wednesday night, carry through Thursday, into Friday, and then end with me passing out on the couch around 1:30pm Saturday. I just hope the kids are on their best behavior for my wife the next 5 days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
