Corona and spring sports
Impartial_Observer replied to gopher2's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
I'm curious if we have any administrators that read this board what their feeling is. My thoughts are after seeing the NCAA's move yesterday, after you lose the cash cow, cutting the losers gets real easy. NAIA has cancelled their winter sports tournaments, but are waiting on spring sports. My guess is this lies more in the hands of the principals/superintendents, and the IHSAA will take their cue from them. Personally I think I'll be doing more fishing this spring than any spring in recent memory. -
If it's a Disney cruise, it's already been cancelled. Disney has suspended operations thru the end of the month. They have a boat leaving Port Canaveral today returning Monday, two boats returning tomorrow, and they have another boat currently at sea returning next week. No boats leaving after today until April 1. I'm calling bullshit, I happen to know for a fact that Mrs. Lysander is a saint.

Not according to this this article: https://dnyuz.com/2020/03/12/if-im-going-to-get-sick-and-die-i-might-as-well-do-it-at-disney-world/ While I haven't been to Disney in years, I have spent a fair amount of time in the area. There's usually a large contingent of Europeans, a lot of Germans in particular. So I guess those folks won't be there.

Coronavirus will be a distant memory by August. Hopefully toilet paper supplies have returned to normal by then.

OK, first of all it's Chuck Schumer making a threat, is anyone really going to take that serious? But I get the point, had Mitch McConnell done the same thing, the media would lose their minds. It's pretty well known the most dangerous place in America is being between Chuck Schumer and a TV Camera.

Turf 2020 and Beyond
Impartial_Observer replied to btownqbcoach's topic in The Indiana High School Football Forum
Seems odd though, administration over there is young, hungry, and seem to be all about building something. I don't know much about the local demographics, is that an issue? Assuming older more farm based type people in Aurora vs. what Lawrenceburg has attracted with the boat? -

Yet Lawrenceburg has had it for several years and EC added it last year. I'll be honest if they'd just put an escalator in to the field, I'd donate! That climb out of there after the game sucks! -
OHSAA is only allowing four tickets per player and two tickets per coach to the state basketball tournament. Ivy League cancelled their men's and women's tournaments. Big West and MAC are not allowing general admission. Where is the IHSAA on this issue? Can they afford the financial hit of not allowing general admission to the regional, SS, or Finals? What about the NCAA? From what I've heard via the grapevine, Avon HS with their current situation has lost about half of their baseball season. Who will win out, public safety or the almighty dollar?

I ran some numbers last night that I was being spoon fed by Don Le'mon from around the world. The stats seemed pretty consistent, death rate of those who get the virus is about 3.5%. Given other risks, auto accident, heart attack, stroke, murder, medical malpractice, etc., I'll take my chances, but in the process I will buy all the toilet paper and hand sanitizer I can find.

For many years, when I fly, go to conventions/trade shows, any time I am in contact with large groups of people, or will be shaking a lot of hands, I have carried a small bottle of hand sanitizer in my pocket. No I've never been a germaphobe, but noticed many years ago after such events I usually came down with some sniffles or a cold. I started using hand sanitizer, and problem solved. So I keep a small TSA compliant bottle in my backpack when we fly, which just happened to run out when we came back from Florida in November. Of course me being me, I threw the bottle away. Fast forward over the weekend I've been all over trying to get another small bottle and I'm staring at empty shelves. Are you kidding me? I don't even care about Coronavirus, I just don't want a cold!
