PSAC WEST

[Scrub]

Figured that ... Am I the only one frustrated that asymptomatic, vaccinated players get tested? Fans don't get tested - the arenas can be full. People using the fitness center don't get tested. Athletes seem to get singled out in these kinds of things. Will the schools adopt the CDC guideline of only a 5-day quarantine?

Your frustration is warranted--I wouldn't argue that. But I suspect the reason the athletes get tested and the dudes using the fitness center don't is that the dudes using the fitness center aren't scheduled to travel (with their germs) all over Western Pennsylvania over the next few months. If the dudes in the fitness center get sick, their circle of viral influence is pretty limited to campus. But if a basketball player takes COVID with him on a trip to, say, East Stroudsburg, PA, the spread is quite a bit further reaching. I think that's the logic. But logic aside, it's all still very frustrating for both the athletes and the fans.

It's frustrating for sure. After football season with what our teams all suffered through ... just kind of got used to it.

At least in basketball they can probably make up the games. Football it was a lost cause. No free weeks to reschedule.

Not sure about basketball. Football (D2) randomly tested about 20% - 25% of the whole program weekly (every Wednesday) throughout the entire season.

If you tested positive you were gone 10 days automatically (no team activities).

Basketball rosters and staffs are so much smaller they may be testing all of them every Wed.


The group of dudes playing pick-up don't get tested.

Fairmont closed their doors to fans I think.

Daemen's trip to Clarion yesterday was cancelled due to Covid concerns. The game will not be rescheduled.

This is not looking good.

Five more days since the first PSAC West night since March 2020. Hope we make it there.

Happy New Year to all!

Boro lost at UIndy 88-62. Shot just 35% from the floor and 14% from beyond the arc. Conversely Indy played very well. That won't get it done any day.

Tyler Fritz has landed at Lebanon Valley. He was a solid recruit a few years ago but probably wanted playing time closer to home (Hazleton).

There weren't politicians and media folks villainizing and demonizing the opposition.

You're wrong. Ask the Kennedy family if they felt they were demonized in the 60's. Do assassinations count?

Big difference in how Republicans do investigative committees. The Bengazi Committee was 7 Republians and 5 Democrats including liberal firebrands Adam Schiff and Elija Cummings. No Democrats put on the committee by Nancy Pelosi were "removed." On the J6 Investigation Comittee, Nancy Pelosi appointed all 8 members (6 Dems and 2 Republicans) after she rejected the Republican members selected by Republican leader Kevin McCarthy.

Holy Heck... shut up with the politics already!!!

Never said he was. I'm somewhat aware that a senator could not be part of a House committee. Just pointing out that he was part of the problem then. So the Democrats led the multiple investigations of Benghazi? I lived through those eras and have a pretty good idea of what was going on. Believe what you will, and I'm done with this. Merry Christmas.
