    Coronavirus Thread

    To give @bwelbo an assist here, this is a good rundown of why you should wear one - https://www.erinbromage.com/post/what-s-the-deal-with-masks Basically (he says it in there) - my mask protects you, your mask protects me. Unless you're wearing N95 or better, then it works both ways.

    TONIGHT: Celebrate 1990 Win at No. 1 UVA via YouTube

    We broke that UVA team. They were REALLY good and had NFL talent all over the field. We were just better!

    The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

    Now you're just putting words in my mouth. When did I say keep things shut down? I'm all for opening up with the correct precautions. In fact, many states ARE opening slowly to make sure that this can be managed. If we get to the point where the treatments are working then of course we need to...

    Wow, great strawman there. I'm saying it's a virus that clearly attacks more than just 'the old folks and the compromised'. If you don't want to take it seriously, fine, your call.

    The ACC will delay the start of competition for all fall sports until at least Sept. 1

    Let's not forget his dad (who spent three days in ICU) is a world-class athlete himself, or at least a not an 'at-risk' kind of guy. Thanks for posting this. I know a young man at Tech who is about the same age, very healthy, no asthma, etc., and he told me the same story. He had to go to the...

    That was my takeaway too. I'm glad CGC also kept it going, keeping him around. Best of luck to the young man.

    Maybe they can get Lane Kiffin and he can come give them the full Vol treatment! Follow it up with Baby Dooley of course for best results...

    2020 Baseball - Postseason

    Unfortunately it's probably true. Those schools that have been barely getting by are going to have to start cutting and @JacketOff I think you're right. Larger roster, high equipment costs, specialized field all make it a likely target unless it's at least breaking even on its own. Edited to...

    Wow. More to follow, surely.

    It would have to be that. Travel is still going to be an issue, especially if you're farther than a quick drive (who is rushing to hop back on an airplane?). I feel like that is the best-case scenario as things stand today. Of course a lot can change in a few months (Jan - Mar anyone?) but it'll...

    2020 Baseball - Postseason

    I feel you guys. I felt like by now we were going to be a feared team. Oh what could have been! I hope all of you are safe and happy. I'll have a drink with the both of you (and anyone else that's joining in). Now I just have to decide on the beverage!

    College Football RISK: Season 2

    I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying go get in on the strategy discussion where it's being discussed. Of course there is overlap in people in each forum but over the discord is the place to really get into it, that's where the strategy is formulated and implemented. Losing our safe...

    College Football RISK: Season 2

    @TechPreacher, people following orders got us into first place for a bit. We've had a terrible run of bad luck (look at the breakdown I posted above) and Michigan has had borderline outlier good luck. If you want to be involved in the strategy, join the discord group and get at it. Complaining...

    They said it won't be 'back to normal' which isn't much of a statement. No matter what I think we all know the virus has changed things, how and to what extent are the question marks (here's the chancellor's statement...

    College Football RISK: Season 2

    I'm not involved with the strategy but there is a valid reason. Michigan had so many protected territories, PLUS Stanford likes to merc their territory apparently (evidenced by yesterday when we had the most mercs ever and we held Stanford). Michigan has also had an insane run of luck. You can...

    2020 Baseball - Postseason

    I don't see how they can start on time. Probably a shortened season is the best case scenario unless things change quickly (in a good sense, obviously).
