COVID Sports Updates - Sir Yacht's Fan Club

First of all - what happened to Gordon Gee? He was the Chancellor at Vanderbilt, then Ohio State and now he's at WVU?? Woof.

But that sentiment (we're gonna play no matter what) is really the only thing that keeps me confident. One way or another, football is happening. Specifics don't really matter at this point because we don't know how bad the 2nd wave is going to be, how much testing capacity we'll have, but they'll play. Just watch

 

we could very easily have had football this fall but idiots like bertstare and rockportraider spent all their time protesting to go to their local pew pew gun range and thus spreading the virus instead of spending their time on something more beneficial like jumping in front of a train

 

Subtext: “please for the love of god enroll. We’re going to lose our ass if you don’t”

 

that doesn’t matter in this debate for the one billionth time

 

Gee was President of WVU in the early 80s as well. We were the first school to give him a chance to be President

 

Will Bama try to claim this as *16* if they go undefeated in a 4 game season

 

We already claim 16, we're going for 17 brother

Edit: we actually claim 17, we're going for 18 brother

 

OK +100 creativity points

You crazy for this one

 

ACC and big 10 could be interesting and go either way but i say they give it a go. I think the SEC and big 12 give it a go for sure and pac 12 doesn’t. Even if the situation gets worse, the SEC isn’t skipping a football season. Maybe they move it to spring but they will play.

 

I feel like this has been said over and over but there are other bad outcomes - outside of death - that come with contracting this.

 

Maybe this will be SCAR’s year. Our September is manageable

 

mack doesn’t have that long left losing a year isn’t great

 

to say nothing of the various coaches, support staff, officials, family members who are at risk

 

Yeah but it’s not him so he doesn’t care what happens to them as long as he gets football this fall

 

Hopefully clemson tries to play us and we’re like lol get fucked pussy

 

he is the chad to Illinihockey’s virgin

 

It's crazy to me the people who're willing to have people die so they can watch football.

 

I want to believe him, but I can’t help but hear “I just hope Tressel doesn’t dismiss me!” every time he talks.

 

Oh I'll watch but I don't think it's a good idea at all.

 

Yeah my first thought was, of course he says that

 

i guarantee there are numerous kids playing that have some kind of health issue that make this higher risk for them. just because it isn’t visible to genius rockport doesn’t mean there aren’t at risk kids

 

Think one of our reserve DL has been diagnosed with diabetes.

 

shut the fuck up

 

I think people underestimate how determined some people, especially the older generation, is for life to go on as normal.

My Uncle, who I'm fairly close with, has bone marrow cancer, they've got him on Chemo and have done a full bone marrow transplant. He's probably going to die in the next 5 years but his quality of life is fine right now and he has a new baby grandchild. He has no immune system at the moment, his risk could not be higher.

He just doesn't care / take it seriously. They're still having people over to their house, maintaining some distancing, making people bring their own wine glasses and wine, washing hands etc.....but that's it. No masks, gloves, no PPE. Told him he's crazy, basically told me to mind my own business. It's wild, just doesn't give a fuck. Tried to talk to my Aunt, she loves her husband but is just like "whatever happens, happens." Maybe it's because their kids are out of the nest and doing fine. But it's wild to watch

 

i kinda get that. when you only have a couple years left, losing 6-12 months of normalcy is a lot bigger hit than losing it as a 30 yr old so you just say fuck it

but also living is nice so idk

 

I’m for gun control Tobias, you are going to need another angle here

 

I understand that on his part but you're putting lots of perfectly healthy people at risk.

 

If I had 6-12 months I'd agree, but not the case here.

It's the bad kind, but they caught it early. He's got minimum 3 years but could go 5-7 if he handles treatment well. His oldest just had a grandchild and his youngest son is getting married in January. Big milestones next 5 years for his family.

If he gets COVID, his death probability has to be greater than 75%.

 

“We could have easily had football this fall if everyone stayed home”

The idea that the virus would have gone away in this scenario is a complete fairy tale.

 

so you don’t pay attention at all with what’s happening around the world

 

Western cultures aren’t going to accept the government welding steel plates on the doors of apartment complexes like they’ve done in Asia. Even if they did shit like that here it wouldn’t improve chances of any version of “normalization” until treatments/vaccine is found.

Community spread will not end anywhere completely until there is a vaccine.

 

what does this have to do with sports being played

 

"There's nothing that can be done about global warming. Just go along with it"

 

im guessing he doesn’t believe in climate change

 

Something, something cure cannot be worse than the problem (Donald Trump, circa March 2020).

 

What about our cultures are different?

 

"We don't let big government intrude on our lives"

"Fuck yeah Patriot Act" (pulls out iphone and opens up one of 50 apps on phone)

 

Stop making this political?

 

Take it to the COVID-19 thread dickhole, this is about sports

 

It’s weird that golf hasn’t started yet.

 

Probably not

 

the fun starts where dallasdawg said science is wrong and to come up with your own opinions lmao
