Z.I.P. Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 4 minutes ago, NWAkron said: I'm sure they are doing everything not to ban specatators. CBJ is privately owned and probably has one person making the decision as opposed to university academics and bureaucrats. Welk, thank heavens! One private autocrat surely trumps a team of trained medical scientists...and BUREAUCRATS!! ?? Quote
Z.I.P. Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 From the New York Post: "Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced Tuesday he is asking indoor sporting events take place without spectators “other than the athletes, parents, and others essential to the game.” This came shortly after the Democratic presidential candidates canceled arean events. Biden at a small senior center, and Sanders at Cleveland Browns Stadium... ? Quote

Feels unearned. 14-4 overall in conference including 7-2 on the road ... what am I missing? CERTAINLY feels earned to me. Conference tourneys = money grab. Send Akron. 1 Quote

NWAkron Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) Cowardice. What a horrible decision. Whoever wins can play in an empty arena somewhere else in the country if they are allowed to be on planes. Absolute over-reaction. Edited March 10, 2020 by NWAkron 1 Quote

Z.I.P. Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 Will the semifinals and final still be televised nationally?? Supposed to be on CBSSports (semis) and ESPNU (final), I think... Quote
zipsrule Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) A friend and I were talking about getting lunch and beer somewhere to watch the game (since we can't go) . Is a bar or restaurant going to have access to ESPN + ? Edited March 10, 2020 by zipsrule Quote

I'm on self quarantine until the 23rd. I'm not showing symptoms, but my company told everyone to work from home for the next two weeks and I just want a break from people. Get off my lawn 1 Quote
