mods - please rename this thread "Personal opinions on COVID as espoused by various Facebook doctors, epidemiologists, and social scientists"
That way those of us who are looking for the effect on hoops and sports won't be tricked to click.

Thank you.

Hurley said UCONN is looking for a "really good game" early next week. Would love for it to materialize, but I doubt it will. Love Disano's tweet about this "It's a fairleigh open date for URI". What in the Dickinson is that suppose to mean? Rhody was supposed to play PC this we...

I heard PC is finalizing its plans to play St. Puis CYO midget team, it should be an Q4 game which they need since that have such a tough schedule and as an added bonus no travel since they are across street. St. Puis is so much closer than URI and its important to limit travel in these covid 19 ti...

Given the cavalier attitude towards the virus by (fill in your favorite group - national leaders/local leaders/young people/FB 'experts'/HS Bro's/anti-maskers/pundits) this is how it's going to be.

You can't use facts to bludgeon people who don't believe facts. A certain percentage are operating on sheer emotion, memes, echo chamber talking points, and their FB friends.

So how long should we shut down? 2 or 3 years? Maybe more? They will not get a vaccine. I will eat crow if they get one , but since there has never been a coronavirus vaccine I'm not holding my breath. Although I heard Nov 3 may be the end of the rona. Ah, the old “virus is a hoax to take down Dona...

SG - please accept my apology. It was a trigger reaction - I should have walked away. On topic, I can share that the AAU HS situation is crazy.

The current health crisis will push the demise of print papers more quickly to their end. Consuming news electronically is by far more timely, more accessible, and more prevalent.

Dan's ceiling is significantly higher than EC and it always has been, and I said as much even when they were in their 3rd or 4th NCAA and we were clawing to reach our first. Dan isn't gaining on EC, he is flying by him. The PC contingent is going to rue the day UConn was allowed back into the BE. R...

I continue to wonder why in every post season survey when they ask about bringing beer back to seats, why they don’t finally allow that to happen?

I haven't seen the A10 this bad ever. Fire McGlade!!!! Hard to blame McGlade. The moves that need to be made are rather unprecedented (removing certain schools) and help some but hardly fix the problem. The conference lost four major coaches in the last few years (Smart, Miller, Wade, Hurley). That...

It would be in the best interests of the A-10, AAC, and MWC to develop some sort of scheduling arrangement with member teams playing a certain number of games versus one another. The P5 and Big East are squeezing them out with their partnerships and expanded conference schedules. The AAC thinks the...

NE 10 used to be the premier D2 conference in the nation. The trend, however, is to either upgrade to D1, or downgrade to D3. St. Anselm announced a move to D3 a couple of years back, then reversed course when there was pushback. However, the demise of D2 is inevitable. We'll probably see something ...

I live in CT and would be shocked if Dan would want the Uconn job.

No way Dan would leave his current situation for anything lik...
