You are not alone cmt. Other posters simply slide in a comment or two about politics (usually a pro-Trumper comment) and think we do not get the (political) implication. It’s ridiculous to even suggest that the CV19 virus and related political issues are not relevant in the sports world and in these discussions. If the president or his supporters can’t stand the heat it their problem not ours.

Yes. And what is not emphasized here is that Hawk actually brings these great people to speak to his players. The experience of being persecuted and/or rejected is a very real fact of life to many students and athletes. To see these examples of people who have overcome these odds is just inspirational. Great job Hawk.

Quite simply GREAT! Who has a coach like this anywhere? Keep them coming!

Absolutely outstanding! Alex Groth and Dan Hawkins. We are so lucky to have these guys. Keep this coming!

This is potentially much more significant than it might look. Not having read the complaint, I can’t be certain, but if it asks for an injunction (very probable) to stop the universities from taking student fees immediately and the judge agrees, then thats the end of Fall/Winter sports for these schools. UCD students fees provided 57% of all the ICA or $23.5 million last year. AND, if that happens, I don’t see how ICA comes back in California. The entire system will be damaged beyond repair. Just pray there is a vaccine by Fall.

Wait a minute. Glorious Stable Genius Leader has just come up with an easy solution to this problem and it doesn’t need any testing. All players will simply be injected with disinfectant (Clorox, Lysol, etc., your choice) and generously exposed to bright light. Problem solved. Let the games begin!

Self made legend. Maybe he’ll go down with early onset dementia before his eligibility finally runs out? My guess is that NCAA lets him play.

And have every player sign a waiver of all a liability? Great college experience!

Ditto San Jose State as of 12:10 pm today. Sac Bee.

I hope you are correct SLO. I just got my info from LA Times and NPR who quoted the Fullerton Provost,Pamala Oliver, as saying that they are going to have “virtual” classrooms this Fall. But she did add that if things changed for the better with the virus situation, they would revert to in class teaching. So I guess its how you parse it. They did a lot of work on this before they announced, like seeing how many students could be in a class 6 feet apart, how students would leave the class at that distance, etc., (nothing worked) but that the faculty needed to know right away to prepare for “virtual classes this Fall.” My niece starts nursing school at Columbia this year and their first semester will be on-line. Frankly, I do not expect college sports to return until there is a proven vaccine available. Can you imagine the legal liability a college would face if it knowingly exposed it’s students to this virus?

Ask Bundesliga.

Got an eye opening look at the economics of trying tp play sports during this corona virus pandemic from the German Bundesliga. It is planning to play all of its soccer games in empty stadiums this season and the games will be played with the following conditions: all players will have to be tested and cleared before each game. There are 24 players on each squad so 48 tests there. The Bundesliga estimates that each team will have 234 support staff present for each game. They will be tested as well. So now you have 516 tests for each game. I will say its impossible to find out what these tests actually cost sine the government is paying for most of them now. But if you do it on your own thru your insurance it will be charged at the market rate. Insurance charges have ranged from $3000+/- to $1000+/- at this time. So- at the lowest cost: $516,000 in testing will be required before each match in the German Bundesliga games this season. With no fans in the stands. Can college football handle that scenario?

Fullerton first to announce only online classes for fall semester. Some eastern schools are cancelling fall semester all together. So, yes likely no fall or winter sports this year. What a bummer.

We all know Les loves the flashy perimeter game. It’s a great crowd pleaser when you make the three. But when you don't and we miss the open three- its very bad indeed. It’s like oxygen leaving the room when it happens again and again. That happened to us last year. So, yes I agree with the above. We need to get something going down low because we have lost our outside game for the most part to graduation. Maybe Les has some new perimeter help coming. We definitely need it. But get stronger down low now!

To answer my own question: No. as long as she is in academic good standing at Oregon. But, under the new rules, she had to get Oregon to release her. Evidently, this was not a problem.

Great job Russ. I think Holly Winterburn a great get for us. She obviously has very good talent. I wonder why she transferred. Sabrina graduating is obviously not the reason as oregon is still going to be a power next season. But so may we! We will have a huge line up for BW for sure, but now we are lining up on the bigger schools much better. Like very much the reuniting with Megan Jones story. They can now hang out in Davis together and be flying mates back home to England/Scotland on the Holidays. Maybe also with our two English MBB guys. BTW are the transfers not now automatic?

Just a thought:
“We all know it is a fool who tries to play it cool.”
Who knows where that phrase came from? Sorry. You have to be pretty old! Happy Easter to all. Just trying to keep calm. . . .

Cmt.
You are right. The Trump troll has an insatiable appetite for repeating the misinformation and outright lies of the Trump administration. He does not even recognize or give any credence to the actual facts. Just a bunch of conspiracy theories, victimization and pointing the finger. Just like his dear leader. So sad.

If you are interested in exactly what the Trump administration was thinking all along from the beginning of this crisis of incompetence and inaction, Google “Red Dawn emails”. Read what Trumps own medical experts were saying. No edits. These are the actual emails they wrote to each other. They are staggeringly scary. Note the email about “Historic understatements” i.e. “Napoleons retreat from Moscow: a stroll that went astray; Pompeii: just a little dust storm; Hiroshima: just a bad sunburn” etc. Again these are Trumps guys own words. No editing or opinion from me here.

Quoting Captain Trump of the RMS Titanic:

There isn’t any iceberg.
There was an iceberg but its in a totally different ocean.
The iceberg is in this ocean but it will melt very soon.
There is an iceberg but we didn’t hit the iceberg.
The iceberg is a Chinese iceberg.
We are taking on water but every passenger who wants a lifeboat can get a lifeboat if they want them and they are very beautiful lifeboats.
But passengers need to ask nicely for the lifeboats if they want them. We don't give lifeboats to nasty people.
We don't have any lifeboats. We are not in the lifeboat business.
Passengers should have planned for icebergs and brought their own lifeboats.
I really don't think we need that many lifeboats.
If we had any lifeboats they would be our lifeboats, not the passengers lifeboats.
The lifeboats were left on shore by the last captain of this ship.
Nobody could have foreseen the iceberg.

And we lastly have:

The Narcissist’s Prayer

That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, it is not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did.
You deserved it!

Just a few bites to chew on as we hunker down in our bunkers. By the way, the Titanic Captain did go down with his ship.
