I started to react to this, but there’s no laughing/crying reaction available.

Props for the obscure old school SNL reference. I loved that skit!

Not only did you whine about it, you pinned it, then whined when it got unpinned. Which of course turned into a giant pissing contest....much like you’re trying to bait me into here.

But if you whine enough, Coach Nowlin will give you eleventy billion upvotes!

Have you seen a college or NFL game in the last....oh I don't know 20 years?

We are all native Americans at my house.

Figuring @DannEllenwood will have a woody for days after tonight’s episode.

Who here has said the world is fair? What's wrong with wishing people success? Why do you continually want to manipulate people's words?

Clearly not the point of his post. Life is not a zero sum game. Success is defined differently by pretty much everyone.

Yes, we closed at the end of business last Friday.

Spoken like someone who's never signed their name on the front of a pay check.

It basically means that all athletes are being treated as "in school out of season". So limited contact as permitted by local corporations but they are able to participate with club teams and private instructors. I'm not aware of any travel organization that is having tournaments anywhere in the country right now. What shocked me was to caveat that if they can resume May 1, cutting the number of practices from 10 to 5, I never thought they would waiver on that number. In all fairness to the IHSAA I think they are doing everything in their power to have a spring sports season. Hats of too them for being flexible, holding out hope, and trying to salvage something out of the spring season. At this point I think it's a foregone conclusion spring sports aren't happening. Breaks my heart for all the seniors. All the preparation that has already been put in by the coaches, athletes, and officials, but as the old adage goes, play every game like it's your last, because it could be.

To be such a strong character, Alpha's stint was pretty short lived. How is the story playing along with the comics? I suppose we're leading to a war with the Whisperers for a season ending cliff hanger?

I am co-chair for the Softball All Star game, which we’ve held the last two years at IU. We received an email Friday stating IU has canceled all facilities rentals. It did say since our event is in late June there was a possibility it could be picked back up.

Catching a little of the debate, serious question: Did the makeup people have a competition to see which candidate they could make look whiter? Aside from that, looked like a skit on SNL. Two old guys arguing over stuff from 25 years ago.

I’m in Clearwater Beach, just left Publix, plenty of water, plenty of TP. I didn’t see any hand sanitizer but I didn’t really look. We walked around last night, while there were certainly people out and about, it was far from packed like you would expect. Friend of mine got tickets to Clearwater/St Pete for 21.40 yesterday on Spirit I believe out of Indy, bag was only 30 bucks. The sun is hot, the water is fine, why not take advantage. I think we’re going to plan a long weekend down here again next month.

Eligibility is obviously an issue, springs sports were already in full swing. I think it's impossible to predict given the dynamics of this situation, literally changing by the hour. As far as the HS situation, it's very fluid as well. As things stand right now, most schools are looking at resuming classes 4/6. Given that date the earliest any contest could happen would be the third week of April. This thing appears to continue to grow, I just don't see schools returning by 4/6, I really think spring sports are in jeopardy. The IHSAA has now postponed the BB tournament. Postponed to me means we'll do it in a week or so, and that's just not going to happen. I think they're prolonging the inevitable.

Big Ten has suspended all athletic activities until 4/6 and will re-evaluate at that time. Assuming other conferences are taking similar measures.

Indiana High School Athletic Association To: Member School Principals and Athletic Administrators From: Bobby Cox, Commissioner Re: IHSAA Spring Sports Update Good morning. In light of concerns surrounding COVID-19 respective of IHSAA spring sports, I would like to provide the following considerations and clarity. Regular season contests are conducted at the discretion of our member schools. Currently, the guidance being provided by the State of Indiana allows for events with less than 250 individuals in attendance to be conducted. Local jurisdiction shall prevail with regard to whether contests in the regular season are conducted. Some schools in our state have closed and will implement extended break periods. Once students return to school, all provisions of Rule 9-14 - Practice Attendance to Participate in a Contest shall be enforced. This health and safety measure within the by-laws will not be waived. Should a previously scheduled contest fall before the completion of said separate days of practice, the contest must be rescheduled or cancelled. A decision on meeting a minimum number of contests to become eligible for IHSAA tournament series events will be made at a later date. At this time, the IHSAA is planning on staging all spring sport tournament series events as scheduled. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office at your convenience.

As I have stated several times, I have been involved in a couple of media stories, one of which garnered some national attention. The amount of misinformation, in some cases outright lies is astounding to me. To think at the very least the media isn't manipulative is sticking your head in the sand. And I know local media doesn't like to be tied into the CNN's/Fox/MSNBC's of the world, but they are just as culpable. I saw an article posted just last week on one of the Indy TV stations in regards to one of my stories, numerous fallacies to the point it was pretty much laughable in my opinion. Some of it is clearly incompetence, but some of it is clearly intentional. How else could you watch CNN and Fox coverage of the same story and get two completely different stories?

My brother cruises out of NOLA. He has one scheduled at the end of this month, I was just about to text him to see what's up. Good luck man.

No clearly the only factor leading to any of those crashes were Republican presidents.
