Washburn/Mines game

[IchabodPower44]

Embarrassing every other game went down today. These two programs reschedule twice. Have a 9 am start time which is ridiculous. Then cancel it. If heats a factor don't plan for your game to wrap up during the peak hottest times. Watkins and Mines hc are dumbasses

Story I was told…. It is Mines coach who is the dumbass and their budget couldn’t afford 2 nights at a Holiday Inn Express.

It's an 8 hour drive from Topeka to Golden. No way they do a 2nd night hotel room. Resume play at sundown, at 8:30 and be done and out of the lockerroom and on bus by 10pm and in Golden around 5am (they gain an hour time change traveling west). Of course, you'd have to figure out what to do with the Mines players during the afternoon up to game resume, but I figure they could hang out in the air conditioned Student Center or whatever it is that Washburn has.

Funny you think Washburn can afford AC.

How many programs were cut due to lack of $ in Emporia?

How many other games nationwide started at 9:00 am or were cancelled?

Who cares. How many others teams folded, just these two. Soft as whip cream! You would think all those convicts up the road could handle a little heat.

Forecast for the WU @ NW game is hi of 84 and 10% chance of rain.

last week NW had a night game in Kingsville TX…the 1,000 mile trip home was by plane and bus. They’got home around noon Sunday. The Mines, coaches whining about a long ride home after a night game was pretty sad

They have a multi million dollar indoor practice facility why not go over there and finish it? What a waste of a day and trip for everyone involved. The whole thing seems like a joke.

Did they just go inside and play on their phones in August when fall camp got hot?

I'm as old school as most anybody, but this crap you guys are spewing about keeping the kids in full pads playing football out in the extreme heat is ridiculous. A kid in the band died of heat stroke at Iowa over the weekend. It is a game, a game, it's a damn game. It shouldn't be putting people into potential life or death situations. I spent a few hours with three kids who play at Jewell who watched their teammate die on the field during a game and the impact on them will last the rest of their lives. You keyboard warriors should be ashamed of yourselves. Although I doubt that is possible with the level of intelligence you're already showing.

Didn't most of the conference play in the same heat? So is Washburn soft or are the other programs dangerous

My issue was why didn’t they wait til later that night and finish the game when it cooled down
