Let us pray

Indeed, it belongs.  While 27 were physically wounded.. millions more were wounded in a different way today.  It helps to commune.

Well put. It's high time to stop sweeping this crap underneath the rug as if it doesn't exist.

I agree this is terrible tragedy.  And, as a father of 4, it has affected me.

That said, I come here to get away from this stuff.  Sports is our escape.

Please consider that this incident has no place on this message board.

Just so everyone understands my purpose yesterday, I had clicked over to jsonline simply to see if Mike Hunt had written anything new and was confronted with the headline.  I believed that many on this board might not have been aware as of that moment and was confident that folks would want to hear ASAP.  You'll note my original comment suggested that the mods move this once the word had spread.  My only goal was to provide that very first 'Did you hear?' notice.  I trust you're all okay with that as I would have wanted any of my friends to tell me immediately.

I also use this board for escape.  And I intend to do the same today at the BMO BC and the Pat Summit Women's game.  God bless those families experiencing pain I can't even imagine and Go, Marquette, Go, Go, Go.

Jsglow, if you're apologizing, please don't. Your intent was all for the best, and this tragedy trumps talk of basketball, even if only for a few minutes. I'm feeling extra blessed that I can go get some escape from this horror later today. I can't imagine what that community must be going through, and will go through for the rest of their lives.

But...go Warriors.

MUScoop was my relief yesterday too.  The tragedy was too close to home.  Thank God I had an outlet yesterday.
