Watching Loyola (v Laffy) right now I’d take any one of their four tall guys on our squad.

Most of the college athletes I have spoken with know the rules, they don't complain about it and just are used to the craziness. Did Holy Cross have five players available? 13 players but still missing a coach just kidding but couldn’t resist it is a joke everybody I know you are joking maybe Maureen could have coached the team in that case ;-)

A good book on leadership that picks up on the classic show TedLasso

I suspect that the PL coaches, whose $300,000 salaries are on the line, might want to avoid playing when they are down a few players.

It’s by the same author who wrote the best seller The Boys in the Boat several years ago about the UW rowing team which went to the 1936 Olympics.

Maybe cancelling was a bad decision and maybe not, but there are a lot of assumptions and conclusions on this thread and not many facts.

This is the second time in two weeks an AU team has traveled, only to have the home team cancel, literally, as we were warming up. WBB went up to Lehigh on 12/29 for our game up there on 12/30, and had just arrived at Lehigh's arena only to be told that the game had been postponed. Then, as now, I think the game should be forfeited. It is not fair for our kids to travel, and get there, and be ready to play – despite, again, being wildly shorthanded – and have the game postponed at the last minute. Why should we have to go back up there? And I would absolutely say the same if a team came to AU and arrived, ready to go, and we had last-second positives that forced a postponement. It's not right. Maybe a middle step of the team who cancels gives up their home game so both league games are on the home court of the team left standing at the alter. That would work for the first half of the league season and then back to the drawing board.

1. Glad I decided weeks ago not to go to any games at the Hart as I would have either been traveling up 146 or actually been on campus by the time they postponed the game and
2. Not sure anyone saw my posts about The Jo webcam on the "Non Sports Discussion" thread but someone walked out an obscenity in the snow in the plaza. I called HC security and it has now been "erased" but didn't notice the "artwork" much before the game being cancelled and wonder if there was a connection between the game being canceled and the obscenity directed at God.

assuming the team was fully vaccinated? maybe instead of blindly trusting The Science™ the next time we face a pandemic, we can see beyond the divisiveness, band together, and support genuine medical science that considers, evaluates, and deploys ALL available treatments at our vast disposal... not just a limited few that are patented and make billions of $$$ for the pharmaceutical industry. absolute insanity that this is how we are dealing with this after 2 years. but sadly, not entirely surprising given the fact we've been fighting this thing with one hand tied behind our back by blindly focusing on vaccination thanks to pharma lobbies, corrupt politicians, captured regulatory agencies, and a complicit media. disgusting. we are capable of so much more. Only 62% vaccinated. Restrictive policies are in place to protect the vulnerable 38%. That's the concept of public health, as a society we look out for each other's health. Leave no one behind.

We’re testing healthy 19 year olds, with no symptoms, for something almost everyone has.

If a player tests positive, are they off the hook for a positive test later this season?

Could you give us the initials of the obscenity or something it rhymes with?

Holy Cross has had MINIMAL COVID issues with their athletic department during the last two years so it eventually gets to everyone.

Luckily football was done before omicron surge. If we had lost out on that, I would have stormed Fenwick with a pitchfork.

So vaccinations and boosters do nothing to prevent healthy 20 year olds from playing a basketball game. Got it.

So vaccinations and boosters do nothing to prevent healthy 20 year olds from playing a basketball game. Got it. When the healthy 20-year old gets a vaccine his risk of serious Covid impact goes all the way from essentially zero to essentially zero. And, of course, add in the booster it plummets to essentially zero. Throw on a mask (and/or scuba gear with breathing apparatus and gloves) and it craters to essentially zero. Obviously, the problem is not Covid, it is Covid protocols.

Pride, what does the risk of myocarditis for a healthy 20 year old go from no vaccination and booster to two shots and booster?

So if I understand the current Covid protocols , and members of the HC team tested positive today, they have to wait (quarantine) 5 days..So that would tell me the Sunday game will also be ppd'ed...Is this a correct assumption?
