Well that would be one strategy I guess. Another would be to prepare for a rough couple of months as best you can.

A few random questions…
Assuming the projections for a 40-70% infection rate are correct, lets forget about the death rate from the virus itself and think about what happens when half the population gets a bad case of the flu in a relatively short period of time.
If you’re in an accident or fall down the stairs, how long will it be before the police, fire dept or ambulance responds? Who will be available to treat you at the hospital? Who will deliver the medicine and supplies to the hospital?
When a storm causes massive power outages, how long will it take to get the lines fixed?
Who is going to deliver, stock, sell and prepare the food and supplies we need every day?
I think we’re in for a rough couple of months.
And I wouldn’t hold my breath about the tournament, which totally sucks because our chances to win it are so darn good.
Some random facts updated as of this evening...
110/195 countries infected
109,974
Total Confirmed Cases
3,828
Deceased
542 known cases in US
22 deceased
40-70% projected to contract it
15% of US population is over 65
8 states have declared state of emergency
1/4 of population of Italy quarantined
Got to say I’m pretty stoked this year about this team... and also the lack of other strong teams out there.
Yea it’s all a crapshoot who is hot on any given Dance night, but I really like our chances. Especially given how this team looked in May last year.
@BShark that’s awesome, thanks for the share.
Exactly what I was thinking too. That would just suck big time.
Right, but we scored more points, and won, you’d think there would at least be the same amount.
@wrwlumpy sure a lot of KSU shots in that highlight reel
@nuleafjhawk Crown Candy, lol. Yes rough part of town but the East side is like a post apocalypse war zone. That said the stats are misleading, St. Louis county has lots of nice parts, good chunks of it multi-millions nice. And while downtown is under 400k the metro area is pushing 3 million, which is pretty good for the Midwest.
But feel like I’ve won the lotto moving to SoCal, will be hard to get me out of here. Big Bear Ski resort is an hour north of me and the beach an hour west. Can be in Vegas or Mexico by lunch time.
Ha! No, you totally called it on Port A. And while I enjoyed STL for over two decades, East St. Louis might give Port Arthur a run for its money.
But not even in the Lou anymore either. Last February, we moved to an hour outside LA. For a lifelong Midwesterner who hates winter, loves big water, big culture and oh yes, mountains, I’m kind of in heaven here. And the best part is I work from home so don’t have to fight the nasty nasty traffic!
Hey I live in Port Arthur!
Ha, just teasing. I did live in Houston for a few years and passed through it on the way to New Orleans now and then. Yea, unless you like marshy oily flat and stinky (largest oil refinery in the US there), it makes Wichita look like Honolulu.
Liked this quote giving coach some love from 24/7 sports...
“ Make no mistake. Saturday's game was a coaching clinic — a masterpiece. It was a reminder that when Self has extra time to prepare he introduces wrinkles opposing coaches are seldom anticipating. It's why his record in NCAA tournament rounds with extra preparation days — the Round of 64, Sweet 16 and Final Four — is 16-2 over the last decade.”
well that was an ugly paste, not sure how to get a pic or a twitter in here, but it was a funny pic anyways
Actually, it probably doesn't but I still thought this was funny...

Really liking not being swept by Drew this year too
@kjayhawks good points, but still, it just seemed the safer way. But then again, I ain’t the hall of fame coach. In Bill we trust
@BShark +1000
And maybe after 10 or 20 misses don’t let him shoot either
What that old saying... pride cometh before a fall in overtime? One inch more and Drew would have looked like the better coach and that would have been so awful. but, didn’t happen and the good guys win.
Doke, wow he manned up big time, his best game ever.
But I do get we won tho :-)
Still think we should have fouled at the end, that three was dead on, just an inch short of sending us to OT. I don’t get it
Ah, that was the best game I’ve seen in a long time. And the good guys win on the road. Jayhawks rock
I thought doke was going to cry with Holly for a sec
Doke is the man
Sheesh, you called it tho no foul
@BShark dang I hope you’re wrong....
F ochai!!!!!!!!!
Time to show who’s the better coach
Ha, all those cheap shots and he misses his FT then Dot iced it! Yes!
BS
Sweet!
Only 3 fouls on doke, that’s great
Doke again!
Huge Ft
Ochai zero for good lord know how many attempts, he’s killin me
Jeezus pull ochai now
Pull ochai
Don’t let up the gas now guys
Dammit stop Ochai!
Yes, Mr Braun!
Shit, that’s a tie up
Bullshit flop
Ochai, Dan don’t shoot kid!
Damn a terrible 2 minutes
Right past Ochai
@stoptheflop said in Biggest Game of the Year and it's at 11am Thread:
Here, the official under the basket on our end is letting them play
That’s an astute observation, thanks
Nice Doke!!
Moss tries it again with success
3 on Vital!
Cmon guys beat the crap out them this half. Ha, a call for us too!
@BShark really, 11-1, that’s bogus
