NWAkron Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 If 80% of us would wear masks for a month, we could easily have sports again and COVID would be stifled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope what you believe is true. The country was essentially shut down for 2.5 months and it apparently didn't do much besides help "flatten the curve". I've been running errands all morning and I'd estimate 95% of people were wearing masks. Only recall one person who wasn't. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rate of mask wearing does seem to be picking up but the whole country lost a little discipline post- Memorial Day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree in the discipline and sacrifice. Unfortunately, the victims are often people who don't deserve it. They're often older folks who did their part only to have some selfish dimwit infect them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zipmeister Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Here is a part of an article published in the Lincoln Journal star. I'm not sure I believe that Nebraska will be paying the guarantees to the teams they have dropped from their schedule this year, but that's what their AD (Moos) says they might do. Nebraska had been scheduled to play nonconference home games against Central Michigan (Sept. 12), South Dakota State (Sept. 19) and Cincinnati (Sept. 26). NU was set to pay $1.3 million to Central Michigan, $515,000 to South Dakota State and $400,000 to Cincinnati. Moos is sensitive to the financial hit those schools incur as a result of the Big Ten's plan for 2020. "Depending on what things look like in the future, we want to bring them back at a later date," he said. "But certainly we're very open to discussions about paying the (contractual) guarantees and such. You know, that's only fair." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jut tell me when the plan is to get us out of our face diapers, please. Crickets..... How about giving it a try for a month. Encouraging others for a month. See how it goes. If you watch the governor's press conference, he said once counties get back to an acceptable level then no masks are needed. As Clark said, it's not like wearing a ball and chain or a hair shirt. You only have to wear it when you are in a public area where you can't be 6 feet away. We talk so much about our rights not to do this, not to do that. How about our duty to our fellow citizens? It's not about my momentary inconvenience. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I ultimately expect the game to be canceled, yes because we are on the verge of the season being suspended in its entirety, but still think two schools an hour away not playing because of not being in the same conference is questionable. Maybe Adrienne Robbins from that TV station can ask DeWine his thoughts? Anyhow, just wanted to point out that your tweet references the WRONG MAC 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkwgriswold Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Wrong MAC but that's what's going to eventually happen to the right MAC. Los Cruces' and Clemson's economy are going to take a huge hit from not getting the traveling Zips fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
