KenPom has Akron winning 75-69 or 28% chance of winning for Ohio.

Agree on the house money. We can just go up there Thursday, relax and have fun. As long as we avoid a debacle of the magnitude of last year's 1-8 game (Buffalo 101, Akron 52), it's all good.

I heard BVP say "business trip" in describing the trip to Cleveland. I like that they expect to win. Boals told them he's brining 3 suits...you have to love it.

Here's to hoping they all stay healthy and have a great weekend up in The Land!

3 cases in the entire state,so you close down the campus for a month.

Oh,wait,if what OSU put out is correct,dorms stay open.

So,no face to face classes,but its O.K. in dorms.

What about meals ?

And,lets not forget about labs.
They're hard to do on line.


It's a much simpler decision to move classes online; the infrastructure exists and it's an incremental improvement to have fewer large gatherings.

Evicting 50,000 people from their homes that they've already paid for is harder.

So I don't think OSU is saying it's "O.K. in dorms" I just think they're working to solve that much harder question, like a lot of schools are. The dorms are basically cruise ships when it comes to disease; if there were an easy way to clear them out, they would. It's logistically complex and it's potentially very expensive, as well.

Of course, a virus can spread much faster on the flat earth you apparently live on.

This is going to be like the 1989 North Atlantic Conference championship. There was a measles outbreak and the championship game was played in an empty arena. There were live streams of fans back home watching at their University gyms.

Yep. It’s a conspiracy perpetrated by well-known liberal Mike DeWine.

Actually MotoGP at COTA is postponed until later this year. Not cancelled like SXSW was. I was in Austin Friday and while the SXSW cancellation was surprising most of the comments I heard were supportive of the decision.

Correct. People are canceling events that will make them millions of dollars out of panic and not knowing better.

Stop being stupid and whiny.

Huge over-reaction from everyone. The virus cannot survive in cold-weather climates like Siberia and Cleveland.


I've seen crazier things happen.
