I was just trying to explain in my own head what I had just seen.
But I don’t think that is what’s going on here. There is zero noise about that in the wind, at least among people I’ve talked to, and there really isn’t a scenario I could see where something has already happened and the players are aware of it. I guess theoretically anything is possible but I am practically certain that the Senior Night thing was an isolated situation, the causes of which I think we pretty much understand. The Bonnies and Davidson losses, while frustrating, were both just typical conference road losses against good teams that everyone has. I don’t see any connection between those two games and the Joes game, which was just a no-show. If they had no-showed at Davidson I’d be more worried.
That would be a dramatic ending to the season. One that would echo through KB for 50 years. I didn't know this was being kicked around.
I think for that event not to have Harrick lite story telling 15 years later would have to happen slowly. A week long of rumors and stuff and then an announcement. The secrecy with these things often builds them up.

I hesitated to even respond, but I did because I honestly did have the same thought. Importantly, I had the thought because I was so stunned by the Joe's game and was just spitballing theories in my own head, and then I dismissed it. Specifically because it is NOT being kicked around. Someone asked the question, and the answer was no, and as far as I know nobody else has mentioned it anywhere and nothing is "out there" in the ether.
I don't want to read 50 posts pontificating about it now.
