    Somehow all the threads have turned into Covid threads.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    They are just looking for someone to blame....after all, it’s got to be SOMEBODIES fault, doesn’t it?

My grandkids, just by attending in-person class, are more at risk than I am. Yet I wouldn’t call that “risky behavior”, or accuse them of such when their teacher contacts COVID and the school is shut down(which has happened).
    Are you interacting with your grandkids to the same extent that you would if we weren't in this situation? That would be risky. I'm guessing not.

    I keep hearing excuses that essentially amount to "kids will be kids." And I don't accept that. The players and staff can stay isolated. They may not want to, but they can.

    We've had 3 separate incidents now.

    Just keep doing what we've been doing? If that's the attitude, then just shut it down and focus on next year.

    Its going to take discipline. It might be hard. That's kind of part of the definition of discipline.

    I focus on the pain. The only thing that's real.

    Ah good ole Covid shaming. Do you know all these guys personally and know what they are doing on a daily basis? They could be doing everything “right” and taking precautions and shit happens. I mean they are traveling to games, interacting with the general student population.in classes etc.

    Hate to see it......

    Heartbreaking.....

    ...at least they are playing!

    Would rather see them play and lose than not see them play at all? As heartbreaking as that would be.

    First off...my interaction with my grandkids or anyone else is none of anyone else’s business. Let’s keep it that way.

    Secondly...why is so important to have Xavier basketball that you’re willing to have players lose their freedom to be regular college students and are willing to isolate staff from their families? Maybe you don’t realize that right now the whole team (players, staff, coaches) are all in isolation? For the 3rd time this season, they are stuck in their dorms or apartments 24/7. It’s bad enough that they are doing it for 10-14 days. I wouldn’t wish that upon anyone, and I certainly wouldn’t wish it upon anyone for MONTHS at a time. I would certainly not be in favor of forcing that upon the Xavier players and staff. It goes beyond basketball, you’re advocating that they become virtual prisoners in order to have what appears to be a “normal” season for the fans. That seems pretty selfish to me.
