Good for jb

[Millhouse]

Lock away, I know it is important to you

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Awesome!

 

[capeorange]

That would be great.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Stupid. He shouldn’t get caught up in things he doesn’t control. He should spend more time figuring out how to get shots without having to dribble backwards towards the basket.

 

[AZOrange]

I think we are well past the need for mask requirements unless we are going to commit to them full time. But I don’t know why he is making this point. Does he think more fans would come without them and that the issue is not the product on the court?

I know for a fact that some people aren't going because of the mask mandate. Sure its not a majority of people, but its a sizeable chunk. There is no need for the University to be in direct conflict with where the state is on this...the masks need to go.

 

[OrangeDW]

Perhaps we send CuseRunner in first? Word is, he knows how to stand his ground.

I know a few people not coming specifically because of the covid rules.

Are we mediocre? Sure.

But it's not the only reason people aren't coming and it's this way across the country.

Why can't he talk about real life too?

 

[Alsacs]

Can he tell the truth atleast?
Masks aren’t just required in the Dome. A lot of ACC schools have the same protocols.

He makes it like we are the only school requiring it.

He stayed in his lane for the decision making for next HC.
Do the same on the health and safety protocols.

We are all sick of masks but the serve a good purpose. The rules will be lifted and the same people complaining now will whine more about how long it took instead of just being happy.

At this point they serve no purpose. The woman in front of me could be eating ice cream at the dome and doesn't have to wear it, but because I am not eating anything I do. It's all a show.

I don't think he spent any less time preparing for the game because he was thinking about how he could get a good mask comment in.

Those of you that want him to move on should be happy. Maybe he'll retire and move south.

 

[Scooch]

Why can't he talk about real life too?

He totally can. And he's right on this issue.

I just hope the next time JB's pops off about social justice, or something similar, that the people who are applauding him now do the same for him talking about real life.

At this point I’m not so sure…game plan seems to be clear out for my boys, especially if it’s a close game.

And some who are planning to go now probably won't if the mandate is lifted. I'll bet that is a sizeable chunk as well.

And the University is free to follow the state or federal guidance, or institute its own rules as it sees fit.

ISO ball has been the name of the game for so long, I assume he does nothing different. It just looks a lot different when being done by a player with the name Boeheim on the back than, say, Anthony.

Mermaid-man looking lunatic

 

[XC Cuse]

I think he wants the biggest and loudest crowd possible for Duke, and I'd bet strict mask wearing is a deterrent to some coming to the dome. Personally wouldn't keep me away, but I know some people who don't want to put up with the hassle. Hopefully we can get to the point soon, where those who don't want to wear one are free to do so, as are those who want to wear one are free as well.

i would bet more are not going because of having to wear masks to feel safe then are not going because of having to wear masks to be safe..

its had pretty much zero effect in our schools games for attendance and you have to be fully vaxed and mask up here.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

The masks served no purpose. There is absolutely no proof that the types of masks worn by many of the fans stopped the spread of the virus.

I sat next to a guy at the FSU game last month, and 3 days later he tells me that he's sick.

I had to get tested, my brother and his g/ had to get tested, and we had to take our 93 year old father to get tested (since we both were in contact with him).

Every one of us tested negative.

By the way, both myself and my brother and my friend at the FSU game all wore masks.

It's all the proof I need.

 

[upperdeck]

we sold 22K of tickets for a midweek game against a bad GT team in a down year. How much is attendance really suffering from a mask rule? a few hundred people?

if you take masks away i wonder how many will stay home for that.. im not sitting in my local arena quite yet without a mask for 2-3 hrs.. even the movie theater i still wear mine because who knows who sat there the previous movie.

If you're that concerned about catching Covid, then you probably shouldn't be going to a large gathering to begin with, mask or no mask.

i would bet more are not going because of having to wear masks to feel safe then are not going because of having to wear masks to be safe..

I would bet more are not going because the team hasn't been very good, and the ACC opponents aren't very good.

But Saturday is Duke in the Dome, Coach K's final season. So we'll see.

You don't have to wear your mask once you're inside. No one is wearing them anymore. By March, even the public schools will likely stop requiring it.
