Thorr and Cox are trying to reassure people, that's for sure.

Don't know if that's going to work...and add in the uncertainty about the season itself....not good.

If there is no season, none of this is going to matter anyway. With no revenue.....well fill in the blanks.

[LoveThoseRams]

I recently renewed my tickets. I asked how it's been going and they admitted that many fans haven't renewed due to the way our season ended and losing some fan favorites. People loved Toppin and no one knows if Fatts is coming back.

I'm also changing seats. I"m heading over to 211. I was in 204 and fans would yell at me to sit down when I was cheering for our home team. I really hope 211 has more energy.

Oh I sure hope you were not the yelling guy in 204...we will miss you from our seats in 104

[LoveThoseRams]

As some say we should be nice to players and coaches because they read this “Shit”, I thought wouldn’t it be nice if posters were nicer to each other?

I read the Kentucky Board regarding Jacob Toppin. Some had read this board. A comment was they were surprised that cuss words were allowed here

Most boards do not allow swearing

I think moderators should not allow use of swear words. If we are concerned about families reading this then why not disallow use of the F-word?

Just stop Ramster. I'm glad Kentucky was surprised we can swear here. It is America. Or it used to be anyway.

I love swearing! Is shit even a swear word? Turd? Dookie? Poo?

"Cuss words" seriously??? HAH! I swear so freely, it's probably unladylike but I believe it adds spice to a conversation and is necessary. I've spent a decent amount of time in the south and they're passive aggressive AF down there.

People in the south say "bless your heart" in lieu of "go F yourself"

TS...that is why you did not make the list of favorite posters. You have to stop saying Dookie, girl! It is so off-putting, you are ruining this Board

[rambone 78]

Do it like the show South Park....

All swear words are allowed on that show except the F word. lol

[DC_Rams]

I’m sure Blueman and I are the conductors on the “F-Bomb” train.

I'm a fragile woman not a male Boomer so that's probably why.

Everything I've read has stated that swearing is a sign of intelligence.

[DeanDome88]

Season tickets sales are off mostly due to the fact that there might not even BE a season.

The roster turnover is part of it, for sure.

There aren't going to be large crowds allowed anywhere for a long time to come, unless a miracle drug is found soon.

States that are starting to open things up will find out soon that it's a mistake.

That's only going to make things worse.

That is quite a few assumptions for one post.

Yea, i see why "doombone" is your nickname now.

Very Very negative with these virus posts relating to large crowds at sports.

Still too much unknown to make all these assumptions over and over again on a daily basis with multiple posts in different threads.

Lol, you post just made me actually laugh out loud, that was good.

[Running Ram]

you boy's need to get off doombone's back!! He's a familiar and necessary part of this board. Not to mention, that nickname is ancient, at least a decade, it needs to be reserved for when rammy is being particularly doomy. I got your back rambone

[Rhody74]

I’m not usually on board with Rambone’s basketball pessimism but his take on the upcoming season is not out of the question. If you read what public health scientists say there’s a good chance there’s going to be a second round this winter combined with the typical flu season.

[steveystuds06]

Rambone is a legend.

Wasn't it already combined with the flu this year? It started in January. But good news is out there. The Navy ship is leaving NY since they never needed it. And NY is donating ventilators to other states since they don't need them anymore (good thing they didn't get the 40,000 they wanted last month).

Oh I’m not saying he’s ridiculous with his take, it’s completely on the table that there won’t be fans in the stands any time soon, including college basketball.

But it doesn’t need to be posted every day, numerous times a day, in multiple threads a day.

Bingo. Too bad me blocking him doesn’t spare me from his quoted posts. Dude literally posts the same shit, ad nauseam.

I digress.

Back to my hole.

No doubt that COVID-19 and even the flu are serious threats along with hundreds of others potential dangers that we face on this planet but it is dangerous to get tunnel vision on COVID-19 and try to rebuild society around a response to it. If the US government does much more digital money printing we can count on massive inflation among other problems coming our way. Taken to the extreme our response could lead to an increase in a wide variety of societal ills. I could not give a damn about party politics in the USA and my opinions on this particular problem ,which will continue to evolve as reliable information is reported, are not formed on what any politicians are saying. I will be watching Sweden and a few other countries with keen interest.

If we have a season, I plan to be in attendance.

[hrstrat57]

Aw c’mon guys don’t pick on ....bone. Just fight back with little humor or sarcasm he doesn’t bite.

And I ain’t going anywhere without a vaccine I’m super lucky to have the choice. Lotsa guitars, Netflix, Amazon Prime etc to keep me busy...but really miss the grandkids.



Let’s play nice.

B safe.

[theblueram]

I'm not so sure we will ever see a coronavirus vaccine. That's why we have Lysol. But I was involuntarily vacccinated against the plague, yellow fever and anthrax among many others.

[rhodyfan3000]

Bone is ok, and he's not wrong to want to avoid the virus.

It's a big unknown.

I'm right there with you. People politicizing this has been just awful, but what do you expect?

I have a Swedish friend and its remarkable how different their response has been on every level of society.

I'm feeling like sports will happen as scheduled or close to it. With limited fans probably.

Things have been trending in the right direction, especially compared to the doom and gloom from a month ago.

[CHICO 78]

Yes and right now they have the highest death rate of all their neighbors. It will be interesting to see if it continues
to escalate over there or it levels off on it's own.

[rhodyfan3000]

These guys also celebrate the graduating of high school with a free for all, free love, orgy day that would make what the Amish do look like a Strawberry Shortcake amateur hour picnic in comparison.

So, they are a little "out there" on a few things.

[rambone 78]

Thanks for the support guys.

I realize I have a severe case of diarrhea of the keyboard, I am going to try to keep my compulsion under control in the future.

Try to, anyway.

As for DC, I also understand how posting from his mom's basement can be emotionally and stressfully challenging, in these trying times.

Just a little levity there guy, now don't you get all mad and stuff.

{yeah I have to see his posts that are quoted too]

[Taylor Swift]

Ironically, I am one of the moderators for my town Facebook page, and you actually can see these people's real names and faces and they are way by far more brutal there than they ever are her on KB! We had to block a sociopathic woman last night. Times are unreal!

[theblueram]

I just wish we could also get a side by side tracking with the flu to compare.

Thats a bit of a stretch there.

They do dance around a fallace symbol and celebrate the summer solstice later on in the evening...

[rhodyfan3000]

Eh, I knew this girl on social media, and I got some of the "real" details.

But since this is a family friendly page, I'm not going go into those. It was enlightening to say the least. The pictorial review in particular.

We'll just agree to disagree on this one.

[Rhody72]

Rambone makes me feel loved for my exuberance for every thing URI!

[bigappleram]

I recently renewed my tickets. I asked how it's been going and they admitted that many fans haven't renewed due to the way our season ended and losing some fan favorites. People loved Toppin and no one knows if Fatts is coming back.

I'm also changing seats. I"m heading over to 211. I was in 204 and fans would yell at me to sit down when I was cheering for our home team. I really hope 211 has more energy.

Proud member of 211, and I stand often!!

Saw this data today blueram...for context, 30-60K die in typical flu season over the entire season. Covid has totaled 45,000 deaths in 1 month, with 90-95% of the country practicing isolation/stay-at-home orders for 30+ days. Not a big leap to see the threat here. Here's another one, in the worst week of the 2017-18 flu season (a particularly bad one) New York saw 445 deaths from flu/pneumonia and 3,500 from all other causes. Last week 4,700 people died in NY just from Covid-19. More than double the total deaths from all other causes and 10 times worse than a really bad week of flu related deaths.

[reef]

They lowered the projected death total from 100 k -240 k by Aug 4th to 60 k

We are at 47 k now so I think we get to that original 100 k number ??

Good! I’m in front of you in 110 so you’re gonna have to stand up once everyone else stands up because of me!

Sorry, you can ask my seatmates and those behind me. I'm up all the time. I'm on the edge of my seat every play. This team and game gets me like that.

I'm not trying to downplay it. It does seem to have a stronger impact. Any death is a tragedy for families. Just hope it goes away real soon so we can get back to living the good life.

My wife and I sit in 211.. we're up all the time.. not a real lively section. More enthusiasm is greatly appreciated.. biggest issue we have is we can't see big scoreboard..no one tells us to sit down. Plus have a good couple sitting in front of us.. Rhody Rhody Rhody..

[bigappleram]

Row D where it’s at!

[theblueram]

Row D where it’s at!

I'm in row A, but in the cheap seats. Maybe one game I'll go down the row saying Bar!, Bar!. Just to say hi after 10+ years on Rhody boards.

[CamsRams]

I’m in 211 row C. Good section.

[ram1980]

Row D seats 1 & 2.. go keaney blue

[RamStock]

In 211 also-Row E seats 18 and 19

[eli#10]

Section 110 Row E on the baseline. Nobody is on their feet more than me and no complaints from anyone.

[bigappleram]

Apparently I haven't looked at a ticket in 15 years because I'm in 212....got the Row D part right! Seems like there are a bunch of ya to my right.

I also found this graphic to help differentiate covid from the flu.
