That's a good chunk of our explosiveness. Good opportunity for others.

When we attended the Vince inauguration, they checked vaccination status and gave us a specific purple wristband before entering Luth (says, among other things on it "The Presidential Inauguration of Vincent T. Rougeau Family Weekend 2021") and were told that it could be used to prove vaccination for on-campus events not only then but in the future. I plan on testing it tonight to see if that was baloney as unlike the one-time, disposable ones for the football games at Fitton, this one has a snap to take on and off. I'm betting 80-20 that it doesn't pass muster but if it does, it'll be convenient for the rest of the season. I'll say it will definitely pass muster. You can't become unvaccinated. Why would HC reinvent the wheel? President Vince runs a tight ship (I hope). You sure about that? Millions of people who received two jabs will very likely be considered unvaccinated if they don't elect to get the booster.

I hope ‘day to day’ doesn’t stretch to Friday’s game at Chestnut Hill

First promotional video shows the lit Cross on the side of the Luth shimmering in the night air. Very nice visual. Glad HC is not hiding it's heritage away.

Well, when I got the video feed there was a lot to see...most of it good. HC seemed a bit vulnerable in the lane at the end of the half.

Millions of people who received two jabs will very likely be considered unvaccinated if they don't elect to get the booster. "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away." Like that MacArthur quote, the vaccine effectiveness fades away so you are right, we'll be using another MacArthur quote "I shall return" every six months to get a booster. I haven't heard of any booster checks yet but they'll probably come once everyone is eligible.

I'm not a betting man but if I was I'd take Regis and the 43 points. In the immortal words of Calvin Coolidge, "You lose."

Millions of people who received two jabs will very likely be considered unvaccinated if they don't elect to get the booster. They are vaccinated. You have chosen not to be vaccinated. The vaccinated are not in the same boat as you. The boosters are primarily intended to increase the effectiveness against symptomatic COVID. The mRNA vaccines have continued to be effective in greatly reducing hospitalizations and deaths. www.webmd.com/vaccines/covid-19-vaccine/news/20211109/unvaccinated-people-20-times-more-likely-die-covid-texas-study

We’re over .500 for the first time since February 26, 2019, a span of 987 days.
It’s a start!

Navy looks to be very strong this year...assuming Virginia is a good as they usually are.

you would be well-served to look at data from the uk, israel, and most other countries whose hospitals are not financially incentivized to report covid morbidity and mortality and whose health agencies aren't funded as much by pharma as they are in the us. since randomized controlled trials have always been considered the gold standard of evidence, you do realize that the large mrna vaccine clinical trials (funded by their manufacturers) showed NO DIFFERENCE in mortality between the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups, correct? lastly, sov is correct in that the definition of "vaccinated" may indeed shift to having received a booster shot (read: recognition that the vaccines are less effective than expected). his statement has nothing to do with mortality, cherry-picked studies, or population-level numbers that vary dramatically based upon how the data are reported from region to region or country to country. distraction of the parroted repetition of the pharma/government covid talking points aside... can someone who watched the game answer a basketball question regarding austin lewis? did he look as good as his stats last night suggest? or was his big line due to the fact that regis was tiny? are you encouraged by what you saw? it would be fantastic if he could offer productive minutes against d1 competition.

Lewis is quite athletic especially for a kid of his height. While there is no question he benefited due to the huge height advantage, he definitely has some skills that are worth keeping an open mind to regarding potential minutes against D1 competition. He won’t scare anyone in the paint but he looks like he can play on the perimeter. He showed really good form on two threes he made late in the game.

Lewis has a nice shot, even from 3 point range. I know he had a bunch of rebounds, but I don't know effective he will be in the paint against stronger/ better players. He's got skills, though, and might be a contributor. I continue to worry about how effective our bigs will be. At the other positions we have impressive athleticism. From the time I watched the game I liked Caleb Kenney.

I like the upside of both Lewis and Kenney; if they get better with experience they could add tremendous flexibility to the roster. AL needs to add 10-15 lbs, but he has some nice all around skills for a kid his size, and moves well. Depending on the opponent, CK could guard 3-4 positions imho (maybe even a small 5 guy). Together, they represented the most encouraging aspect of the game for me.
Everyone benefited from the size advantages; Friday will be a lot different in that regard.

There was one play in the first 5 minutes or so that looked like a much lower level game: missed shot and the HC guys gathered the rebound without jumping. You never see that in high level play, the small guys are athletic enough to contest rebounds and/or they're not giving up a foot of height.

I liked what I saw in Austin not just last night but at the open practice where he was going up against our own taller guys. Agree with NAD that he needs to bulk up but he has a nice outside shot and I thought he is very quick down court. He uses those long legs well.
Kind of like a taller Alex Van Der “Bomb” who was a runner.

Were the three who did not suit up sitting on the bench, and if they were, were any ailments obvious?

One observation I had that haven’t seen mentioned here yet is that Townsel was very effective on defense. Dorsey too.
