@bskeet said in Next season...:
Still coming to terms with the fact that we've seen our last game with Doke, Moss, and probably Dotson.
Just trying to work through the process... I'm currently somewhere between anger and depression, but trying to make my way to acceptance.
Now we get to look forward and move forward together.
The 1st step to recovery - - - Acceptance -- the healing begins
Now 1400 cases of Corona and 37 deaths
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in NCAA Tournament: Should it happen?:
Disney is shutting down Disneyland in California until the end of the month. We're going to end up like Italy in shutting down the country at this point to slow the rate of infection and not overwhelm our healthcare facilities.
hate to say it - - but your right my friend , just sucks gonna be almost a stand still, STILL gonna get worse with more cases and deaths - - period

Heh. I chuckled! Gallows humor.
heck ya , glad got another Jayhawk that's got that sense at least a little bit of as you say Gallows.
I mean yes I know they did what they feel needed done, but STILL sucks. Again I feel so bad for Doke , kid busted his ass and not ONE single minute of tournament play
I can just all the ass hats - -making snide remarks , saying at least Justice was served about How KU wouldn't be able to win the title - -how the muggers, women beaters money cheaters KU that old Rug Head and his things got what they deserved. - - I can just hear it now - -
Looking for someone that might have that extra bottle of lube now gonna bend over and grab my ankles lol- - that's just the way my gut feels now - -this Championship - -WAS OURS DAMMIT. - - ooops sorry my friends just frustration being released - - gonna go buy my 40 and say screw it. - -Doke is done - - Devon is Done - Moss is Done and we didn't get to enjoy these final what 9 games just a bunch of crap - - - ROCK CHALK MY FRIENDS
I'm gonna predict ther won't be any tourney in 2020. - I know sick sense of humor - - - sorry
Way Coach Few sure sounds like from the Coach's he talked to today , they are truly disappointed about Cancelling instead of Postponing
This just Sucks for Doke - -Devon
@bskeet said in NCAA Tournament: Should it happen?:
ESPN says NCAA cancelled the tournament. Let's wait a hot minute and see if that is accurate.
it is
Welp so much for that. NCAA just announced all winter sports are Cancelled - -not postponed - - FRICK - they were just talking to Mark Few when this came in and he said he was extremely disappointed - -that they Cancelled not Postponed
Listening to them talk with Jay Bilas, he is saying that he had been getting quite a few texts within the last 15 minutes and saying they would be all in favor of POSTPONING the tourney not Cancel.
Like Postponing for like a Month and then seeing where we are at and if no change or thing like that then Cancel

@jayballer73 said in Big 12 Tournament:
Coming across now that they still expect Selection Sunday , and then possible pushing back tournament - this coming from some high Level Coach's although they didn't give names
That would be a prudent course of action. They can use regular-season champions as automatic bids and they can maintain a touch of normalcy by seeding the tournament as planned.
This will give extra time for teams to prepare for their opponents.. but seems very reasonable to have things set and ready to go when the light changes to green.
like another said here - -if May - gives us time to heal. - -They are talking also about a revised-format like a 16 team tourney taking your top teams from the Season
Coming across now that they still expect Selection Sunday , and then possible pushing back tournament - this coming from some high Level Coach's although they didn't give names
@bskeet said in Big 12 Tournament:
NBA is talking about pushing their season into July and possibly early August. Maybe the draft gets delayed... ?
NCAA should plan for a postponed tournament, not a cancelation.
Actually might be just a smidge of that going on. - We know from yesterday , there was talk about them finding smaller venues , now the Iowas Coach said there had been some talk and in favor of possibly May?
@dylans said in NCAA Tournament: Should it happen?:
@jayballer73 Hey, KU might be healthy by then!
YAY , there is a possibility maybe a little better then what some might think - -but yet having said that probably won't
Three new cases of Corona here in Kansas all from Johnson County - -all men from 35-65 - -contacted from a conference in Florida
Well they were talking to the Iowa Coach McCaffery ? - was asking him if he thought or had heard of a time frame where they just might postpone the tourney - play in a couple of Months. He said nothing for sure but said if they might try he said he had heard from a couple of other Coach's - -and yes a possibility of re-scheduling for MAY. - -Said there would have to be a lot go into re-planning getting things sit -but you JUSTNEVE KNOW - they said though you need facilities to be availibilty - College players concentrating on their NBA future

I'll take some flack for this because not everyone shares my beliefs. Here's what it boils down to for me personally.
Psalm 64:1 Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation;
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.This applies to this and so many other things in the world. It's not about the actual "enemy" (coronavirus, in this instance) - it's about the FEAR of the enemy. The actual enemy is never as big as the fear of it, no matter what it is.
OK, you can start bashing me now.
I think that's fair. Right now it's hard to disentangle the impacts of the fear of the virus vs the actual virus.
The markets are all about speculation. The steep drop is partly — maybe mostly — a reflection of fear.
The actual impact of the virus is people missing work, racking up medial costs, causing some deaths... etc.
I'm not going to bash you my friend. - your totally fine, we all have our stances - -we just pull together now and make it through this together
@kjayhawks said in NCAA Tournament: Should it happen?:
@jayballer73 I posted that on the wrong thread my friend, my apologies.
no we good no need to apologize it's just that some people who feel they are over reacting making to much out of this - - most of those are one's that basically have no need to worry. If they would listen to these athletes from ALL SPORTS they are all in agreement . David Price said reporting to camp in base ball said to a reporter on his way in - - -IT HAS TO HAPPEN referring to them suspending their activities , he said, I've got 2 kids -people saying they over reacting - -authorities have come out and said this is TEN TIMES - - -TEN TIMES as deadly as any dam flu. - it's already mutated once.They have said a person could be tested and have such a mild case they could come back negative and still have the virus and continue to carry the virus and infect others
They are talking about how institutins may very well making the NCAA'S decision for them Like KU - -DUKE and some other institutions cancelling all activities and by doing so saying to the NCAA if there is a tourney - - -were not playing taking into consideration instead of play. - - I'm biased - -I would love for it to be played BUT this is the right decision. People wanna say they over reacting and to those people I SAY well YOUR under reacting
@kjayhawks said in NCAA Tournament: Should it happen?:
@FarmerJayhawk it’s morality was much higher from the get go. We will be laughing at this in a month and talking about how insanely stupid it was. Remember which president was in and got a pass on this. Also the media didn’t go completely bananas when that happened or west Nile or Ebola or Zika.
Trump doesn't have a dam thing to do with any cancelations of Tournaments - that's all left up to the NCAA and Conference authorities easy to try and blame this virus on the President - -come on now leave the dam politics bullshit out of this. Were talking about people's health. -We need to think about people's health here just because some doesn't have it or think they can get it is no reason to try and place crazy blame on others mercy
@Bosthawk said in NCAA Tournament: Should it happen?:
so - our boys, the number one team, won't get to play in the big dance. obviously they ae going to have to cancel it.
this just blows bing time - I'm soooo pissed
well don't feel like the lone ranger you no different then thousands of others I'm pissed too feel so bad for Doke but we know this was the RIGHT decision , like they were talking your putting the college players at risk to , the players them selves thinking well not really wanting to play but yet wanting to play for the team just can't take that risk - sucks cause think this was OUR year , this screwing with our economy HUGE
Charles Barkley was on earlier and was talking about how he would probably get in trouble cause he worked for TNT , TBS but said they needed to cancel until they can get a better grip saying tht they possible could still play the tourney in a couple of week. just pickthe68 teams that should be in the tourney should already have a good idea on who that would be
I've just saw the ACC == SEC - -- & Big 10 - -I can't believe the Big 12 will end up playing
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in NCAA Tournament: Should it happen?:
@rockchalkwyo said in NCAA Tournament: Should it happen?:
Give it 1 hour and the NCAA will follow
They should go ahead and cancel and name the #1 team national champs. Just my unbiased opinion.
Agree we have been # 1 and was voted # 1 for the last 3 weeks unanumious so why not
@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA Tournament: Should it happen?:
@jayballer73 said he was coughing, great idea to expose everyone!
MERCY , my understanding that is one of the sympthoms
This is just a sad situation period. One other thing with this , you know a person I would really feeld bad for/sad if they decide to Cancel the NCAA Entirely ?
I would feel so bad for Doke. - -the guy has had so much bad luck and worked his ass off - -and now this - - - Only played limited his Soph & JR years because of injuries. Came in as a fresh out of shape/overweight , work his butt off to transform his body - -now just a specimen , has a really , really solid season , get's name Big 12 Player of the Year Has a chance to win a NCAA title in his only complete year a very legit chance and now this happens.
If they Canel totally - that would suck for everyone BUT I woul feel extra sad for him, keep fingers crossed. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

He’s en route to the hospital. Hope he’s ok!
Oh Boy mercy , mercy. - me too buddy? - -so are we thinking might going for possible testing of Corona have you heard? - or is it something else ?
Fred Hoiberg left the game with Nebraska is Sick ? - - hmmmmm - -Corona Virus in Nebraska - -sure the hell hope not - -he hasn't been back
KU students have been told no classes until the 23rd of March - -no in person class on Campus
They are saying with the way things have been developing today they fully expect another statement from the NCAA within the next 24 hours - -you ready? - - it's coming -- they gonna cancel this thing completely.
Actually they are not sure if they are done for the Season or just suspending for a couple of weeks either way this is got crazy
There is always a chance possibly that this may be straightened out some by the time we get to the great 8 final four - - maybe fans could still attend those games
Just heard off ESPN - - There will be NO FANS at the Big Twelve tournament starting tomorow
So now with the fans not being allowed to the Tourney does that mean the NCAA has to reimburs the money spent to all fans who has bought tickets?

@dylans said in NCAA Tournament: Should it happen?:
I wish they’d do an Olympic village type setting - all games one venue. Then you could test enough people to fill that sucker a couple times over with sequestered, healthy people for the duration of the tourney.
I'm telling ya don't have a heart attack - it could still very well happen where they cancel completely. - -People say they won't cancel to big of money maker. - - Well if the fans aren't allowed to be there then there goes at least half the revenue they make on the tourney - - don't be surprised with the way this virus is going
yep no fans for women or mens just came across TV & read article it's all games
Golden State warriors going to play home games with no spectors - - - - Seattle Marines moving home games until the end of the month. - all from restrictions by gov to restrict to 1,000 fans or less
Well turns out at the end of the day , the two cases that I told you we had in Topeka - -1st heard they were self quaranteed well today the CEO of ST Mt Vail said they now had 3 in-patients with the sympthoms of the virus such as respitory and such 2 from Topeka and one from Emporia.
They got one test back and came back negative - - still waiting on the other tow results to come back

Questions arising from this , how the how can the Govt restrict information about a public health crisis? - - -A former high level official that work for Bush in Health matters said It's not normal to classify discussions about a response to a public health crisis. - -This tells me there is a lot more there then being told/ mor e serious - -think it is going to be worse before it gets better. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

WOW, just crazy. -- They were talking and saying what's so hard is for them with this that MOST people might carry have such mild sympthoms they never realize that they even have it but yet are carries of the virus, & like has been said for the most part people will be fine BUT
The one's that have those under lying health conditions kidney diaease , lungs , low immune system , diabiates - -heart - really need to be cautious talk steps. - - heard now 30 deaths and like at 1,000 infected - -crazy
That's the scary part. I, as a younger person, may not exhibit symptoms, but could be carrying the virus and unknowingly infect someone that could become very sick or pass away from this illness. I'm trying to be as responsible as possible, but until we can test large amounts of people (tens of thousands per day in every state), there is no chance to truly contain this.
Let me just say as an older person with some under lying conditions just how much I truly appreciate you doing what you can to prevent further spreading. I fully understand no matter how had you try may not just be enough through no fault - -of your own - - I just want to say I appreciate you making the effort my friend -- It's gonna be ok buddy what ever happens to us older then it is what it is at least you MADE the effort what more can we ask for - CDC has already said it's to late that this virus is past containment -people just have to take steps heed advice from the doctors and CDC.
Just remember this my friend - - ALWAYS ALWAYS Remember this - -at the end of the day - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY -- CRIMSON & BLUE THROUGH AND THROUGH have a great day
