Season Starts Nov 25

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Because our response is fragmented and has become politicized.

I watched a lot of zombie movies and TV shows growing up (still do). I used to not understand why the humans inevitably end up fighting each other and doing more damage to the survivors than the zombies do in every single movie. In my mind, it should have been clear that it was the living vs. the dead, humans vs. zombies, those were the only sides that should matter in that situation. This pandemic has shown me that the directors understood human nature (or at least human nature in America) better than I did. It should have been a uniting moment, Us vs. the Virus. Instead we just fought and continue to fight each other while the virus spreads virtually unabated. I agree that at this point, mass vaccination is the only feasible solution.

Anyway, good luck having a college basketball season in the current environment.  At least we owned the libs who wore masks

You can't vaccinate people against stupidity, unfortunately.

Wonder how we'd do against a more deadly pandemic. Would half the country still flip out at freedoms being taken away or would the dumb half of this country suddenly get serious.

The result would be the same.  I can't comprehend anyone having faith it would be different

Meanwhile, Sweden can only be compared to Finland, Denmark and Norway. LOL.

Actually it was Chicos / Cheeks / WarriorDad / PaceArrow that insisted this should be the comparison.

And as I said in my post, it's not just preventing spread like Japan et. al. has done, it's reacting to spread like places like France and Germany have done, while we sit here and do nothing. Oh yeah, we implore people to do something, but substantive governmental action?  Nope. 

The rest of your post was full of worn-out, mindless, political talking points that have no use in this discussion.  And 4ever should have never introduced politics into this topic.  It was completely unnecessary.

[JamilJaeJamailJrJuan]

Can we take the COVID talk to the COVID thread? 

[ATL MU Warrior]

C'mon Doc, these guys are all about the "science". "Science" tells them that our comparables are east Asia and Japan, not France, Italy, Spain and the UK. Meanwhile, Sweden can only be compared to Finland, Denmark and Norway. LOL.

Falsely accuse a guy of acting like a dictator while criticizing him for not assuming dictatorial powers. Guys who do have blood on their hands (Cuomo) are heroes and the guy who incentivized the competition that brought us a vaccine in unheard of time (I know Pfizer didn't take government $ but they were frantically competing with others who did) is a mass murderer.

Not to worry, though. Mr. Wizard, Mr. Science himself, is on the way. Sure, he flunked the 3rd grade, almost flunked out of the University of Delaware and stumbled (plagiarized) his way through law school (bottom 10%). And sure, he's well past those "prime" years. Never mind that, he's an expert at "government". 47 years, negligible accomplishment and a modest salary have led to personal riches. IOW, a poster child/patron saint of the swamp. Got a little sloppy with the influence peddling as his cognitive abilities waned, but fortunately for him the MSM attitude on it ranged from incurious to dismissive. "Nothing to see here, folks!" LOL.

How anybody could turn our current reality into "Trump is a victim" in all of this is incredible to behold.  And not in a good way.

Well put.  If we would have fortitude to view the virus like a 9/11 terrorist, we would be in much better shape now.  But our leaders did not take that path.

Ironically making fun of someone else's cognitive abilities in the process.

LOL indeed. Imagine being this out of touch with reality. Wow.

Somebody had some pent up anxiety from his emperor losing to "Sleepy Joe." You feeling better?

😂

Fun stuff.

In before the lock, and looking forward to participate in the replacement thread.

We Are Marquette!

[Shooter McGavin]

The dip shite actually mused about injecting bleach and shoving a light up his ass and people are bringing up the cognitive ability of the next President?   The current guy is mentally unstable and dumb and it's obvious.  I am Republican and recognized this back when he was on the apprentice and doing cameos on Howard Stern.

[GoldenWarrior11]

Badgers suck.

[Viper]

Lack of leadership from the top down ruined the fun we could've had. And led to an administration change.

...which is too bad, all the way around.

why rely on the govt., or anyone? Use the brain God gave you to figure it out and make the right play. Be accountable.

[Shooter McGavin]

Kind of like smoking in restaurants and wearing seatbelts.  Had to legislate in many places because people are too dumb to figure it out themselves.

More examples of libs putting peoples lives in front of basic freedoms

[The Sultan]

Because we are in a situation where bars and restaurants (for instance) are causing the spread of the disease.  But those places understandably don't want to shut down. 

What we should be doing is shutting all of these placed down for the rest of the year and have government cover payrolls.  Then open back schools in person after the Holidays....THEN open the bars and restaurants if we can keep spread down.

Don't worry.  None of this will happen.  Because we have made the false determination (as your post illustrates) that only those who aren't "accountable" are the ones getting sick and dying.  They're not.

[Carl Spackler]

I was wondering why i read this board less and less.  this thread is a good reminder why.

[GooooMarquette]

So the season is scheduled to start on the 25th....

I got that from the thread title, not the thread.

Yep, a lot of wash hanging on that line.

[muwarrior69]

C'mon Lenny, I know you're not this stupid.  For a fact.  Get out of your boomer mindset and turn of the cognitive dissonance.

You're bitching about Biden while somehow ignoring that Trump is a legacy who attended Wharton and was the 'dumbest' student his professor has ever had.  Also, you're comparing the mental faculties of a 74 year old with a 78 year old.  And the 74 year old has proven himself to not be too bright.  Personally, I think anyone over 70 shouldn't be in government.  Period.

I don't expect Biden to solve the problems himself.  I expect that he is smart enough to listen to the experts around him.  Something Trump hasn't done.

So go cry your boomer tears about how your orange dipsh!t didn't win, and cry about how Biden couldn't have gotten us to a better place (you literally cannot prove this) because your. tears. are. delicious.

Like the head of the CDC who said that face masks are more effective protection against COVID than vaccines? That is not sound science much less medicine. If I were Biden "experts" like that would not be giving me advice.

C'mon man! I mean MODS. Now that the election is over let's start enforcing at least less politics if not no politics. I hope we can get a season of college basketball in this season.
