Second deadliest mass shooting in US history and about 3/4 of them were school children. NBA paid tribute last night. NFL is on Sunday. Flags are at half mast across the nation. Being a Catholic institution, I thought there'd be a little something.

This is a message board dealing with MU basketball.  Why can't we leave it at that?  If you demand this shooting be discussed here, should we also discuss the fiscal cliff?

Hate to be macabre here, but dozens of children die everyday worldwide.  As a Catholic institution, we should be mindful of tragedies worldwide... not just when they happen to a bunch of white children from well-to-do families.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

I wasn't talking politics. OP was about a moment of silence at a basketball game regarding a tragedy. Was just curious.

Ok. It was the second biggest mass shooting in the US (second to VA tech)-regardless of race, religion, or age.

Hey, Marquette doesn't often get a singer for the National Anthem because they claim the song could go long/short depending on the singer and mess up the timing of the game.  An unplanned moment of silence?  Dogs and cats, living together.  Pandemonium!

Feel free to make the connection to Marquette or Savannah State and I'll stop asking why.

There is no connection. You are totally and utterly correct. However, NBA had one last night. NFL will on Sunday. All flags half staff across the nation. Does Packers-Bears have a connection? Doc Rivers was teary eyed when asked questions during his post game. Does he have a connection? Do the Celtics have a connection?

It's the decent thing to do is all-but I cannot stress enough how correct you are.

Take this for what it's worth - I was just at an 8th grade Catholic Youth Organization ball game where we had a moment of silence before the game started. 

I personally think a moment of silence would have been completely appropriate at the game, but am not overly upset that it did not occur.

Might have been nice but its a pretty meaningless gesture in my opinion. I am sure the number of prayers from the Marquette community has been tremendous.

I hope that the victims' families can somehow move forward without a moment of silence in one of the fifty basketball games played this weekend.

The purpose of a moment of silence is not only to say a silent prayer to the victims and their loved ones, but to let attendees move on to celebrate the moment at hand.

Jesus, sometimes I wonder if people realize that they graduated from a Christian university....

Those that did graduate from a Christian university probably already had their own personal prayer.
