This situation is so unprecedented that it is hard to get your head around it. Just in terms of eligibility, are all the spring sports athletes going to get a medical redshirt? It would seem only fair. NCAA needs to get on top of this issue fast so the kids can plan for their futures. Also hard to imagine how the big conferences that so depend on the March Madness money will do to replace this lost revenue.

Movie, Trump has now declared the Coronavirus situation to be a national emergency. Not the flu. Not the common cold. Yes, the Corona virus is now a national emergency. And we have no idea how bad it will get in the future because we have not enough test kits. This virus sits on table tops for days and can still spread the disease! Do you know of ant other pathogen that can do that? So sugar coat your president’s decisions all you want, but try keep in mind, at least for your family and friends, that this is serious and do not minimize it to you and yours peril.

Movielover.
You are politicizing this post to an unprecedented level. May I kindly ask you: when in the past 100 years have all these athletic events been cancelled? NBA. MLB. NHY. All NCAA events. Not to mention all the concerts and all events world wide? Not the flu, not SARS, not ZIKA. The US has no test kits to handle the present situation unlike most of the EU countries and Korea. The Corona virus is a very serious and rare health problem and you are taking great pains to minimize it apparently like your beloved president. Trump is a very poor president. He needs to go! IMHO.. Please respond if you can. . . .

Disagree

I generally agree with 72 on this kind of stuff, but, honestly, considering the amount of misinformation and downright lies coming from the White House over this absolutely unprecedented health crisis (“we have all the test kits we need,” “the virus is no worse than the flu” “the numbers are going to go down fast” etc. are we all just going to pretend that Trump’s lies are OK? People are dying for Gods sake!

A litttle off topic, but Dunning just reported that ESPN is saying the transfer rules ARE going to change soon. The NCAA working group will propose a new rule that will allow for a one time transfer for ALL sports. I agree this is probably only fair. I just hope the BWC doesn’t become a PAC 12 feeder conference.

Movie, a friend of mine in Davis did see them all at once (the Bigs) at a farmers market the other day and it was hilarious like Fleet Day in San Francisco. Very imposing group indeed. Kids running up for autographs etc. Lets not put a lot of pressure on Kenedy now. We have some foreign talent coming in with strong D1 time. And the very interesting new development is Stobbart! She suddenly has her game going and she will be in the mix for sure next year. I will add: might this be the result of great coaching? Congrats to Coach Gross!!!

Just an update. Oregon is now 17-2 with Brooke as their best pitcher at 8-1, 1.80 era. Oregon with 5 or 6 DI transfers (including its other top pitcher) on its roster is now getting ranking votes. While we are not struggling at 14-10 we are not the team of last year for sure. I understand that the entire “transfer portal” issue will be debated at the next NCAA meeting. I read that to mean it will be expanded not reduced, but what do I know? Not much. . . .

Actually GoAggies, I believe the Fresno transfer only had a torn meniscus, not a torn ACL. Big diference!

I wonder about the Nina broken hand injury outcome. At first she was going to get a MRS. then no. If it was the broken hand injury we will never know due to privacy rules. Was she denied by the NCAA? Anyway, good to get her back on the court.

I did notice that the Hi commentators were very complimentary regarding the Aggies and the program in general, especially of Jen Gross. They seemed to want to talk about the Aggies players backgrounds and where they came from (probably they are SOCAL guys anyway) More than they did about HI players. Even knew about our recruits on the bench. Its what you get when you win!

Wow. We go from one of the smallest DLs in the BSC to probably one of the biggest. Schasa looks like he is ready to play D1 football. Excellent recruiting by the Hawk. Did he start out at Ark State?

Lights for WSB MBB!

OK to go. Just carry that $20! Actually with inflation make that a $100 bill. You will be fine.

The new Sage spin move! Totally a new thing the last few games. Did she teach herself? Did a coach help her? A lot of long distant FaceTime calls to Russia? Whatever, whoever, this is something that could help the Aggies win out this season. Amazing player development happened right before our eyes.

Just a question: do the red shirts travel on all road trips?

Stobbart came very close to her third double double. Looks like she’s got the Morgan spin going for her now!

The EWU/CWU/WWU story is confusing. EWU and CWU are about the same size:12,000 students, but WWU is much larger at 16,000+ And is much moe highly regarded academically. But it is DII as is CWU. I know from a niece who went to WSU medical school in Spokane that this is not a nice place to live. Crime is way high and Cheney is just as bad. A lot of drug trafficking and just bad stuff going on the streets. Students are advised to always have a $20 bill to pay a mugger if confronted in the parking structure at night. EWU is struggling with decreasing enrollment for these reasons. I doubt they will cut football, but things are not good at EWU that is for sure.

BGA I totally agree that Paula can be hilarious. But my favorite in that genre is Sarah Silverman. A little more raunchy and political than Paula, but a very very funny stand up. What a one two show that they could put on!

No. Just an assumption because she seems to clearly qualify based on the injury and number of games she played in 2019.
