Wildhack scolded SU athletes for hosting a 50+ person party without masks

[Capt. Tuttle]

They're also threatening to send back packages or revoke your right to receive packages if you get more than one delivered in a week. Cancelling sports for two weeks was just the beginning of the bad decisions.

I'm embarrassed by UMass right now. I better not get an email asking for a donation anytime soon. Lol

Such control is a dream come true for some

Wait...why? I don’t get it.

 

[Shrmdougluvr]

Don't have to worry about Devito then. He can't throw anything, least of all a party.

Taj was apparently supposed to be there but took the wrong route.

Supposed to be a much smaller gathering, but the olinemen were watching the entrance. Everyone got through.

I feel really bad for the kids in college right now. They just aren't getting the enjoyment out of college that they should get. Having said that, Our society just can't sacrifice for the greater good. And that is the fault of my generation who certainly haven't instilled that value on our kids. My dad and guys just like him, kids really, went to Europe and The pacific and fought and were gone for years. Back home, gas was rationed. Food was rationed. On the east coast and the west coast, lights had to be turned off at night in fear that the enemy subs would fire on the country. I don't think they even had the ability to do that. And somehow, people didn't complain. Just went about winning two wars. Today, if you can't host a super bowl party, your freedoms are taken away. People ask, is this a communist country? We will have 4 different vaccines in no time. I get my first shot on Weds. It's tough for young people, yes. But as a old guy, this is time I can't get back. This won't last much longer. And being stuck inside watching tv isn't the greatest hardship our country has faced.

Many people have made a shiz load of sacrifices for the greater good during this pandemic.

And plenty of this generation has gone to war and not complained.

No one can get this time back, old guy or not.

Right? If anything you would want to find a way for students to get more packages so they don't feel the need to go out.

The school is just making rules to come across like they're doing something.

 

[upperdeck]

had 2 kids in college thru all of this . hang with your roommates and small group of friends. do what you have to do.

I havent even seen my co-workers for almost a yr or my family or most of my neighbors

are college kids having it worse than HS kids a this point?

it sucks for everyone

never went to a college party, they didnt even exist at my school, that sucked too.

 

[RandomGuy]

Not condoning.

Ahletes are getting multiple tests a week. In pods with larger #'s. Living with 4, and 16 on a floor. 48 breathing the same air from the central heating. Mostly online classes, and still in somewhat of a "bubble."

Unwise to have a party, but I can see why they might rationalize that it was only slightly different from their day to day.

You think the time lost to a 65 year old is the same as the time lost to a 25 year old? It's true none of us can get the time back. but the loss is much more severe the older you are. A 65 year has maybe 20 years left. And they aren't good years. That is common sense. As far as many have gone to war and not complained, sure. But once again, you can't compare the two. One group went away for years. And suffered historic losses. And can you imagine today, here at home, being told that you can only drive a short distance because you have gas rations? There would be marches in the streets. As far as many people have made a lot of sacrifices , yes. Of course. Health care workers have been amazing. But there has been a lot of complaining by a lot of people about the sacrifice they have been asked to do. In this thread people were being very understanding to kids for getting together and drinking without masks. That isn't accepting that you have to sacrifice. Let's face it, that is a rather easy thing to sacrifice. That isn't being asked to cut back on how much you eat. And this lack of sacrifice is a big deal. 450,000 dead. And still growing. I think by July, this will be pretty much over. That really isn't that long a time to be patient for. I accept by the way, that if I was younger I might have a different view. But this is a case that with age comes wisdom. If I was younger and had a different view, I would have been wrong.

I don't believe that is true. I think people are doing their best to keep people safe. everyone safe. I'm sure mistakes have been made doing that. We really didn't have a road map when this thing started. it is always easy to second guess the decision makers from the sideline. But if I had to make a decision that might be life or death for someone else...I would side on the side of safety every single time.

One of my friends mother grew up in England during the war.. The descriptions of things they went thru might have been a tad bit worse.

 

[dasher]

They'd be home hanging with their friends from growing up and mixing with their families of all ages - saw it all last spring.

Of course on parties, but there are study groups and a million of other things kids do in closer quarters.

Which is more likely, kids wearing masks in a study group or kids wearing masks at a party?

My dad was fighting for out country at 14 (lied about his age with my grandma's help) he didn't see his mom or brothers again for 5 years.

 

[OrangeTarheel]

Tan Harris would be the perfect person to invite to a party. He can’t catch anything.

Also, this thread is a tragedy

Study group, but that’s just one example of many. Either way having them at school should be better than having them home...but to the point others are making families are figuring out the money grab and holding kids out this semester.

I think it is wise to stay home this semester. I was 18 credits shy going in to the spring semester and I really thought about taking 15 and sticking around for another semester. it would have been Hurley's sr year (he got hurt so I made a wise decision). Plus, on the 100 goals I wrote for my dad, he looked at it and said, is getting a job in there?

All thing considered yeah.

You sound like you’ve got it all figured out for everyone else.

I’d rather spend my old age sitting on the couch watching tv rather than be forced to stop my life, by my government, during the most healthy and active years of my life where one can be enjoying peak life experiences and is in their peak money earning years. That’s just common sense. If you think your time is more important than someone else’s due to age then I gotta say you’re not a person who should be patting himself on the back for having and imparting wisdom.

Did you have those times ripped away from you by your government in an epidemic? If you experienced something similar at that age then I hope there wasn’t some old fart telling you it was no big deal and that he and his dad had tougher times.

Interesting. LOL Here is the thing. A number of people agreed with my post. The ones that don't have a respectful response. A thought provoking response. Except you. It is a complete waste of time to chat with you.

I don’t need to be respectful to someone who thinks his time is more important than someone else’s, who minimizes the experiences of others during a pandemic, who says that ppl of this generation haven’t sacrificed for the greater good.

We aren’t having a chat. I’m calling out your narcissistic nonsense.

Yet, people have agreed with me. HMM. Maybe, oh I don't know, maybe you just aren't smart enough (has been shown many times on this board) to understand the greater point. Good luck to you. You will need it.

It would be less easy to second guess decision makers if the process was more transparent and justifications for controversial rules were provided. If the stuff happening there was going on at Cuse this board would be a mess.

To your last point, I am happy I’m not the one making decisions. Can’t please everyone

Some ppl on a message board liked your post. You’re the big winner.

 

[orange79]

I have heard that it was football related.

Phew! I was hoping it wasn't Lax.

 

[calorange]

I hope no basketball players were there.

I got the lowdown about the team and whether they attended the party: I think we're ok. See below.

Bourama - Showed up at the very beginning of the party, but wasn't feeling it and left after 4 minutes. Thought about maybe going back later but still wasn't feeling it.
Kadari - Was last seen on the exercise bike working on his fitness. Pretty sure he didn't attend.
Quincy - After getting into it with a couple of bruisers around the keg early on, was seen hanging out around the periphery of the party the rest of the night.
Marek - Didn't show up until after all the food was gone so he left to go have a smoke.
Buddy and Joe - Brought their girls, and just stood around allowing penetration by others all night. Could be a problem.
AG - Disappointed. Bros back in Illinois seem to be having a good year partying without him.
Bras - Reportedly went for a short time, but nobody really remembers him doing anything.
Woody - Stood outside all night wondering why nobody would let him in.
Jesse, Frank and JBA - Didn't bother to attend. They weren't brought up in the American party culture anyway.
