MDZip Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Betting everyone follows suit. I will give the Kittens credit for one funny comment - Well, John Groce knows how to win the MAC, eh? Kudos to you Ohio69. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkronAlumnus Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Well, the commissioner announced that if there is a Tournament the Zips will go dancing via handout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense for the men's tournament but wonder what they do for the women's since the top two seeds were already knocked out? I guess since the tournament didn't finish you revert to the regular season champ anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted March 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Awful job by the NCAA in not providing the leadership to have a consistent response from the conferences and having this all come down to the last minute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkronAlumnus Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 Think about the precedent being set by all this panic. Anytime there is a cold going around people are going to want to close off sporting events/schools/public gatherings. This is a very slippery slope.

I just happened to catch the ESPN scoreboard before it caught up. Thought it would be fun to tweak the Bobcats one last time this year. Sorry if I gave anyone false hope.

This reaction has some science and experience behind it. This is not the damn cold. I don't think panic does anyone good, but it is obvious some people need educated. These aren't schlubs making these calls, it's our best and brightest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so thankful YouTube TV automatically records sporting events for favorite teams and leagues. Seems like I'll be watching a lot of this season's Zips, Cavs, XFL and NHL games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
