Lord Elrond Posted September 28, 2024 Posted September 28, 2024 Stu said that they were playing at Temple’s field because of issues at LaSalle’s field. SLU isn’t sticking around, they are leaving for their next game Sunday in New Haven, CT vs Sacred Heart. Apparently no plans to restart or replay the game. Quote
Lord Elrond Posted September 28, 2024 Posted September 28, 2024 I tried to find the ESPN+ feed of the game, but apparently ESPN already took it down Quote

I hope if they are playing Sunday that it's the school that said they weren't and the players insisted on playing. Quote
OkieBilliken Posted September 28, 2024 Posted September 28, 2024 I know I am in a bad mood because MBB can’t stay healthy in a freaking fun practice and our women’s soccer spent the entire offseason building team chemistry and don’t appear to have any of it offensively, but how the hell do you have a mass attempted shooting outside of your facility where everyone is traumatized and players and officials have to run for their lives and then the home team gets to put up a W. If LaSalle had any dignity they would have forfeited. But then they chose to live in that sh#thole so I’d guess they have none. Quote

Sounds more like a pitched battle going on. The only thing on the SLU website writeup was that the match was halted due to a “disturbance”. LaSalle still hasn’t posted a writeup of the game. I think I would call the A10 office and say that the match should be a forfeit because LaSalle failed to provide a safe place for the match to be played at if I were Chris May. OkieBilliken 1 Quote

Old guy Posted September 28, 2024 Posted September 28, 2024 A significant number of casualties caused by gang gunfighting are non involved people, including children. Once a bullet is fired from a gun and misses its intended target, it just keeps on going until it hits something whether it is a wall or a person. And, by the way, guns just facilitate violence but are not essential to it. People can kill one another using any number of other weapons including baseball bats, knives, rocks, and even screwdrivers. Schools simply cannot provide safe places to play sports if they are located in really rough areas of a city. Quote

Lord Elrond Posted September 28, 2024 Posted September 28, 2024 The thing about gangbangers is that they are lousy shots. If they were good marksmen, their bullets would go where they are aimed, which is usually another gangbanger. With them being lousy shots, the bullets go all over the place, which is usually innocent bystanders. Also hate to mention it, but that sheet metal shed some people ran into is not bulletproof. Depending on the size of the pistol used and how far away it was, it might be effective, it might not. Not a great area for experimenting. The M14’s they gave us in the navy for use in ship self defense would have gone right through those walls and maybe out the other side. Fortunately 7.62mm rifle rounds are not the weapon of choice for gangs. Old guy, OkieBilliken and brianstl 3 Quote
