clarkwgriswold Posted March 12, 2020 Author Report Posted March 12, 2020 The coronavirus is much like American politics. Too many people at the ends of the spectrum, ignorantly disregarding the risk or downright panicking. Until it settles out, I will stick with the advice of the medical professionals, thanks. 1 Quote
The Hip Zip Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 I hate all of this as much as anybody here but have come to the realization that some things are more important than basketball. Go Zips 1 Quote

RowdyZip Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 Everyone has to see past themselves here. As fans, we're all pissed. I'll miss my first MAC tournament in 20 years. As @The Hip Zip said, there's things that are more important than basketball. While you or I may not be at risk, we could deliver this virus to someone for which it would be lethal. It isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of intelligence and sound reasoning based on science. If exponential infection is prevented, it may end in a lot of "I told you so" down the line, but that's still better than overwhelmed ICUs and rationing treatment (like what is happening in Italy). That being said, I REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLY hope we at least see an NCAA tournament, even without fans. We have some great seniors, and I can't stand the thought of their careers ending this way. 2 1 Quote

Well how about you unite us and distract us with a Game Thread for today. You've made 'em all season and now, TOURNEY TIME, you don't?! We're doomed... Quote
AkronAlumnus Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 Hard to get motivated for this one. 80-70 Zips, I guess. Quote

I was going to just do one thread for the whole tourney, but given how this has come down an individual thread would be in order. Edited March 12, 2020 by clarkwgriswold 1 Quote

clarkwgriswold Posted March 12, 2020 Author Report Posted March 12, 2020 This thread can remain the coronavirus debate thread. To actually discuss the game- Quote
Let'sGoZips94 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 Apparently MAC officials are meeting this morning to discuss the tournament because the Jazz played there recently. Quote
dre22era Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 Source: MAC Presidents meeting this morning to discuss the MAC tournament, which is scheduled to start at noon. The Jazz played at the tournament site, Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, 10 days ago. Cavs players have been reportedly been told to self-quarantine.— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) March 12, 2020 Quote
NWAkron Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) @clarkwgriswold maybe this thing will be held at the JAR after all. Haven't they been practicing there and the women already started their tournament. On another note, the JAZZ player who has it thought it was a joke and before a press conference went around and touched every microphone and items on the table they were using. Then he gets it.

AkronAlumnus Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 I like Dave Portnoy's idea of playing March Madness in high school gyms across America rather than college arenas. Will make for a better atmosphere. Quote
kreed5120 Posted March 12, 2020 Report Posted March 12, 2020 Doesn't really matter where they play if there is no fans. they could play in a high school gymnasium. Quote
