What does “put the whole world on poop” mean?

Sigh. You are obviously not connected to the young folks like I am.

The read-out for those emojis is "Put the whole world on? Sh*t, I wish I could."

As I'm sure you're well aware, this is the new "norm." Hopefully, we'll be able to get most of the season in.

I’m really regretting not opting for the ticket insurance for next week’s game.

Until the NCAA does something to take over the testing, you are going to see the wild west of COVID cancellations with college.

By letting the teams themselves police it, you will have some teams not test at all, some call off a game down their two best players testing positive but play if they have three guys at end of bench test postive, some may test all players everyday, some may test only symptomatic players once a week.

Letting the teams handle this is a terrible idea but what is new with NCAA? Supposedly teams are supposed to play with seven available players, but there is absolutely no way to verify if teams are following this. For all we know the best player on Wiscy tested positive and they called off the game over that while IU played last night and did not test a single player. I am not saying this happened and it may very well not of, but letting the teams handle this is beyond stupid.

Much rather have leagues handle the testing and police whether a game is played like in pros so their is no conflict of interest.

Some of these college games probably could probably of been played if the NCAA or conference handled and policed the testing but by the teams doing it I am sure there is a ton of abuse of the system.

If it is the omicron strain that people are testing positive for, a study out of Africa , where it originated, is showing precipitous decline in cases with mild symptoms. Heard on the radio. That bodes well since it was only announced 4 to 6 weeks ago that it was new.

Stanford up 2 on Liberty with 6:22 to go.    This has been an excellent game.  McGhee for Liberty has 31 and Jones for Stanford has 25.   2 guys on fire

60% ish of population is “vaccinated”. 25% ish percent of non vaxxed have natural antibodies. The virus is devolving as anticipated. “Herd Immunity” doesn’t exist anymore, but hey, you don’t get herd immunity for Coronavirus colds either. Who would have guessed all this 2 years ago. This guy. Yet dumb decisions continue to be made all across globe on everything pertaining to this virus. I’m not over it.

Guys—we have a Covid and sports thread.

Since there’s likely to be a lot of discussion re Covid cancellations, let’s start posting about it over there.

We’ll give you all a chance to migrate over to that thread, but please remember: we will not allow any thread to devolve into discussions about the pandemic with zero nexus to sports

Thanks

What in the world does this have to do with what I said? I talked about how teams can easily abuse testing protocols and you are talking about the genetics of the virus. Those are not remotely related.

Good one in Hawaii.  Vandy/Byu tied with 15 min to go

The USPS delivers on Christmas Eve but college basketball does not. SAD!

Kind of interesting, and reflecting how strong the B1G is, again, in the top half, Pomeroy ratings today have Ill, OSU, Mich and MSU all in a row:

14 Ill

15 OSU

16 Mich

17 MSU

All have adj O in top 25 (8, 10, 20, 24)

Adj D 16, 19, 22, 49 - OSU weakest defensively but still top 50

PU 3d, Adj O 1 overall, Adj D 42

Iowa typically strong offensively, Adj O 4, but defensively not so, Adj D 109

so we’re still 7th on KenPom, Adj O 64, Adj D 14

- The O has gradually improved but it’s almost always a tale of 2 halves- if the team fixes that we’re dangerous. If not we’re good but spotty and a question mark

I believe the Big Tens Top 10 teams is the best in the nation when looking at average NET ranking. But thanks to Penn State, Rutgers, Maryland and Nebraska... It drops an extra 30-40 spots on the average.
