Rutgers hoops canceled , Radio city season ended. Santa con is still on in Hoboken today !
Once I saw all those cancellations, I knew it wouldn’t be long before we acted like sheep.
lol crazy. We got to radio city in November thank god. Woulda been shit outta luck
I hope this thread can stay civil . Focus on basketball and other sports/events . Not get locked
How on earth does Rutgers claim they want to make the game up before Big 10 play begins..thats the 4th of January and its likely next weeks game gets cancelled. My prediction is cancel the Maine game because our world will be in fear panic by then but reschedule Rider just before New Year since they are a bus ride away
Well… The mayor did mandate that for today any bars participating in ANY “bar crawl” today - and today only lol - require vac cards or negative rapid tests from last 24-hours (I believe maybe 48).
Does that happen in Hoboken ? Everyone I know that goes out in the ny city says it doesn’t get checked. Granted the kinds people I know are outer Burroughs folks !
STD tests would be more valuable
That might be a good business model . Could work . And for the serious dating folks you can open a place that screens credit scores and job employment !
The variable is if we had players at less than 100% vs Seton Hall and looked sluggish and they're not any better today, should the game be played??
Same goes for Rider or whomever else has a player less than 100%.....
You're not going to get an "injury report " or spotlight on player(s) who aren't 100%.....if they're 100% in a week or month, then that's the right decision, for competitive balance.
In the NFL, the game was moved back 2 days for teams with higher positive results, to hopefully shake through whatever symptoms, however mild or moderate/severe they may be......if a player is at 70% today and 90% by Tuesday and 95% by Wednesday, and Rider is less than an hour away, reschedule the game.
The rest of you triggered covid-heads, knock yourself and keyboards out.....this to me is about seeing a quality product, whether college hoops, NBA, NFL or whatever else is on TV.....it seems pretty clear that it doesn't make sense to play, if neither team is 100%.....

And a good chunk of bars responded with “we are not officially participating in santa con, come as you normally will for a holiday party. No vaxx required” - green rock and 8th street for starters
It is good to see that, for the most part, people on both sides of the political sand vax spectrum Aren’t quite budding heads as much on this topic anymore. I think more sensible heads regarding the continuation of a lot of this stuff is starting to meet more towards the middle.
So teams can play with the flu but not Covid.
This is a one day and one event only thing, so far, hopefully it stays that way. I mean I’m fully vaccinated, I’m not anti-vaccination or pro vaccination, per se, but we’re all adults. If you’re sick, stay home, if you don’t care, you should be allowed to be in a bar or restaurant at this point without having to worry about a damn card.
Exactly. We still need to take precautions but have to have common sense too , especially for the vaccinated and asymtomatic
May I recommend rewatching our recent victory over Purdue?
The season may be in jeopardy and that sucks. In the meantime, I’m grateful we had our one shining moment. It never gets old to relive it.
Every option is gonna be on the table now . The first one to worry about is no fans.
800,000 Americans have died from COVID over the last 2 years. Lunatics ?
You are an idiot.
Correct. I will be at the Fa La La Lala party, raising money for The Hoboken homeless shelters this afternoon at Vin 8. If you’re not on the guest list you don’t get in the bar/restaurant.
I don't get this view at all. Should we have postponed our games because Geo was injured? If players are out for an illness how is that different than any other injury?
If the season is now over can we say that we kept our NCAA tournament streak going?
This is stupid.
Zero games canceled last year without a vaccine.
Zero logic here. We’re not adapting at all

And the real possibility of no fans in tge stands for those first 2 big 10 home games
Yes, it’s at three now. One legit and two mystery invitations to invisible tournaments.
The best part about it is that Johnson’s and Young’s transfer ultimately had no impact and Pike’s recruiting is absolutely fine.

1) Show me the data where any type of restrictions and government intervention worked and further if you can find any (you cant) what are the tradeoffs?
2) do you believe zero covid can happen or is this something we live with for the rest of our lives?
I think this is more of a function of timing given the players and coaches would like to go home to see their families for the holidays. While some of you view these players as purely there for our entertainment we do have to realize they may have concerns outside of basketball such as elderly relatives, etc.
Murphy must have already bought his costume.
In theory yes. But unfortunately we have people in the NCAA and at universities that are spineless
For those complaining here, your complaints only mean something if you drop your tickets. If you don't drop your tickets your argument is dumb and pointless, because it just means you like to hear yourself talk. You complainers won't drop your tickets though, you do this every time.
Talk is cheap. Take action not words.
I am glad Rutgers is being responsible and PPD the game.

You're correct but it to me is about coaches and program manipulating the system and being cautious....a hamstring or flu is not the same as covid, but just because a player is fully vaccinated, doesn't mean they are not compromised or more winded than they would be otherwise.
The larger question is if a team has 3 of their top 8 players at less than 70% capacity, should you play the game, risk a less than optimal performance OR wait a few days or play the game later, when the team is better??
I am looking at this similar to the NFL.....The Rams had a massive outbreak and the league accommodated them by moving the game back 2 days.....if they lose the game on Sunday, because most of their players could not play or were not 100%, is that fair to their playoff situation??
I am not saying I agree that the NFL should push back games, but no one wants to see a 3rd string QB play, in a game where 1 additional loss, means you don't make the playoff.....
If RU throws up a bad performance and wins by 3 to 5 points as a 18 point favorite, guess what.....??? It still counts against all of the measurements of results for the season.....whether it is Geo with a hammy or someone else who's less than 100% with a covid positive test....
We better not cancel any of those remaining OOC games… we need 3 wins there if we have any snowballs chance to see post season.
