What a run!!!

We just aren't very good right now. Good effort, but just don't have good enough players. Especially post players. None are a threat to score, or rebound, or defend.
Must have 6 more conference wins to be in the discussion for an at-large bid. Tonight was one that could have went a long way. Slipped away.
Oklahoma had 7 conference wins and lost in first round of Big 12 tourney and still got an invite the year they had Trey. That was with 10 straight losses during regular season.
I know....it hurts you to know. you've been fooled. But, if you have had COVID, you'd know I'm right. You test positive, your doctor tells you to go back home, you treat your symptoms with OVER-THE-COUNTER medicines, and that's it for 98% of the cases.
Tell it to the 6000 dead West Virginians...oh....that's right...you can't....they died of COVID....Was i fooled that they died?
But for you that's only two percent....those 6000 are just a percent to your kind.
6,000 people died.....after getting sick........of which MOST were already having health issues.......interesting. That's never happened before in history. And those 6,000 represent what percentage of overall population? In WV, that's 0.003% of the population. Time to live life again and enjoy it, not focused on death.
Wow...the misinformation you spew is amazing. MOST weren't already having health issues you piece of ****.
It a shame one of those 0.003 weren't close to you....you would probably have a different tune...
Truly hope you get the worst strain of it....nyquil won't help you *****.
You are aware that prior to COVID thousands of West Virginians died of complications from flu, bacterial pneumonia, and other cold causing viruses EVERY year right? Most of them were elderly or with significant pre-existing medical conditions just like the majority of those that succumbed to COVID. COVID is not nothing, but a vast majority of cases cause flu like symptoms that are not fatal or disabling. The rate of rare cases of mortality and morbidity from COVID are only slightly higher than flu. COVID is far more infectious than the flu which will result in higher absolute numbers even if rates are similar. But the rate of death or permanent disability from a COVID infection is LESS than the routine use of a car for the average person.
Vaccines are readily available to anyone who wants them. With them COVID and it's current variant is no more deadly/disabling than your typical cold and flu season viruses. K95 masks are readily available and provide the same protection regardless of whether those around you are masked or not. K95 masks are what healthcare workers wore for protection against the much more serious disease of tuberculosis for years AND the infected patients were not wearing masks when being treated.
Sure there are those that are more vulnerable to communicable disease such as those receiving chemotherapy or cannot receive vaccines for example. However those cases have been around for years as well and the responsibility was always on the minority of vulnerable citizens to judge their own risk tolerance and act accordingly.
It is sheer hubris to think that everyone else should deviate from normal behavior, especially in a manner that has been proven to not actually do anything like wearing cloth or paper surgical masks while being in close contact for prolonged periods of time, just to make you feel more secure at a non essential entertainment event.

I love how you guys make the narrative whatever you want.
6,000 of them? And how do you know those people still aren't dying separate from COVID.
You don't....you guys just throw **** up here to help your narrative...
But hey...those people that died...just a percentage to you....
Yes....yes they were.......MOST means greater than 50%.........look at the history of the deaths again. It's out there. Provided by your lovely media outlets that you believe 100%.
EDIT: You are really a troubled individual. Unlike you, I don't wish death or sickness on anyone. I just wish them life, and living in fear of something that 99% of the population will handle just fine is not living.
I am not making a narrative, I am giving you facts.
Fact 1: COVID only ever posed a slight increased risk for the vast majority of people in the world compared to the pre-existing risks of daily life we all had no problem managing prior to the pandemic. Those to which it already posed an increased risk were also at increased risk from daily life compared to the average person. COVID was an outsized risk to this subset of people.
Fact 2: The current variant poses much less of a risk to the vast majority of people in the world even if unvaccinated and untreated (not receiving dexamethasone, monoclonal antibodies, remdesivir) than the original strain.
Fact 3: At this current time those who can get the vaccinations and therapeutics (assuming the therapeutics are necessary as over 98% of all COVID cases require at worst cold/flu treatment and do not require any of the therapeutics mentioned above) do not have any significant increased risk from this virus than if that same person caught influenza.
Fact 4: Cloth and regular surgical masks can reduce droplets and provide some benefit of protection in short interactions. But with an aerosolized virus, these masks are useless if you are going to be in close proximity, while in doors, for more than just a few minutes. Especially in a large crowd.
Fact 5: With the current free vaccinations and K95's available, the individual has all of the control regarding their risk. Getting vaxxed, wearing a K95 in all social settings, and avoiding prolonged social interactions unless absolutely necessary will provide the only significant protection from catching COVID. This is not improved or hindered AT ALL by other people around you wearing or not wearing masks. Therefore, outside of a very small subset of the population, Americans have all the tools at their disposal to decrease their current risk from COVID to even less than they would during a regular unmasked flu season REGARDLESS of what anyone around them does.
Fact 6: The unfortunate subset mentioned in Fact 5 (such as the immunocompromised or those with vaccine hypersensitivities) are not new and have always existed in society. Previously they had to assess their own risk and change their behavior to avoid those risks rather than expecting everyone else to change their behavior to mitigate their risk.
Thus it is hubris to expect everyone else to do what you want so you do not have to constantly wear the very uncomfortable N95 while engaging in an absolutely unnecessary entertainment activity. Especially since, as noted in fact 4, the proposed action to be taken doesn't actually prevent risk of COVID. It only provides the illusion of security.
Yeah...you just don't give a **** about the 6000. They are just a percentage to you...**** them and the people that cared about them...just a small percent to you...just a number because the day before people died from the flu.
And your actions certainly and opinions certainly do wish death and sickness on people...you are just too stupid to realize it.
If you are scared of me being maskless/unvaccinated, STAY HOME. If your loved ones are too scared, STAY HOME. Going to a sporting event is voluntary. You don't have to show up if you are scared. Same with movie theatre, restaurants, etc. Stay home. The rest of the world is ready to go back to normal. You fear mongers had your 20+ months, now move along.
As for people dying, they are a percentage. In fact, the CDC keeps stats on them every year. Look it up. Yes, your God.....the CDC.....considers them "statistics". That doesn't mean I think of them less, or do not have feelings about their passing. It's sad when anyone dies. It is even more sad when people don't want to LIVE again.
That is a reductive and emotional argument. Governmental policies based upon emotional appeals is a garbage way to manage a populace.
1st, the number of COVID deaths is inflated. Example would be a heart failure patient with very poor cardiac function. 3 years ago if that person got the flu and then developed decompensated heart failure that led to death, heart failure would be listed as the cause of death. Another case could be an elderly patient gets admitted to the hospital for dehydration and intractable vomiting/diarrhea from influenza. During hospitalization the patient develops sepsis from a urinary tract infection and dies. Urosepsis would be listed as the cause of death in that case. Replace influenza with COVID 19 and these patients are listed as COVID deaths instead. Now I'm not saying COVID wasn't a contributor or even the main driver. I'm just pointing out that COVID is the only disease that gets treated as the primary cause of death almost automatically by simply being present.
2nd, the reportrd number of COVID deaths in WV is 5,576, not 6000. Across 396000+ cases, that is a 1.3% death rate. (Numbers from CDC) That percentage is also inflated by selection bias in that the significantly ill will always seek out medical care resulting in testing while the minimally ill or asymptomatic do not always seek testing. Therefore the pool of COVID infections that are being tested skew heavily in favor of those who are likely to be significantly ill and die. From 2020 until now there have been over 2800 overdose deaths (numbers from WV dept of health and human services). Approximately 550 motor vehicle deaths. Approximately 200 murders (CDC). Leading up to the pandemic WV was averaging over 3400 cardiac deaths per year, 3300 cancer deaths, over 1100 chronic lung disease deaths, 750 stroke deaths, and over 600 diabetes deaths (Numbers from the national institute of health). Interesting that I couldn't find the numbers for those latter diseases or suicides during the pandemic years on either the CDC or NIH, but I digress. So while COVID is not nothing, in the grand scheme of things it is also not an albatross worthy of giving governments and institutions consent to compel new uniform behavior of the citizenery for daily activities.
3rd, this is all about wearing cloth or surgical masks at an indoor sporting event. You are as likely to catch COVID, particularly the current variant, from spending hours in a crowded indoor space masked as you are unmasked unless it is a K95 you wear practically the entire time. If you really cared about those "6000" like you say, you'd be objecting to the University having fans at the game at all. Instead you just cynically use their deaths as a convenient cudgel for petty authoritarian policies. For the last time the healthy, non-elderly (obesity puts you out of the healthy category) population is at risk from COVID at practically the same rate as any other winter virus season regardless of being vaccinated or not. The vulnerable can get vaccinated, wear K95's and/or just not go to a non-essential entertainment event if they want to protect themselves. Expecting everyone to perpetually do something society has never done for the illusion of protection is asinine.
I had a brief discussion regarding COVID with my MD recently during a checkup. She pretty much agrees with TBTFT in that anyone who dies of anything while exhibiting symptoms of COVID are listed as COVID deaths for the sake of receiving tax money to assist with the medical facilities crisis.
I asked her if she received a lot of info from the medical community regarding the pandemic and she just rolled her eyes and laughed. She confirmed what I already knew that any mask short of K95 is for looks only and the wearers of even K95 masks can still easily be infected through their tear ducts. Glasses help, but only goggles offer full protection. Wearing the K95s alone does not protect you, it keeps you from infecting other people.
It is very likely we will all eventually get the omicron variant.

Its really horrible that for worship of an autocratic narcissist people are actually trying to still pretend that COVID 19 doesn't exist, hasn't really infected anyone, no one died from it, blah blah blah.
In reality its a terrible pandemic that--largely due to ignorance and right wing vitriol, has now killed over 850,000 Americans and over 5,500,000 people worldwide. It has killed relatives in my family. Nearly killed some friends who needed special life saving techniques to keep them from dying.
Yet know nothing loons on message boards and elsewhere are running around pretending it doesn't even exist. Its the flu. It was created to keep antichrist Trump out of office, and all the other myriad of baseless Fox news, news max and other right wing conspirator ******** that is pumped into mindless followers daily.
Like I said--take all these mindless hatemongers, stick them somewhere where they can't harm anyone else. Let them go maskless, vaccine less--and kill each other. Hundreds die each day due to the total buy in to the lies that it doesn't exist anyway--but at least that way they couldn't continue harming anyone else and eventually they'll all be gone.
Yeah, some people get mild symptoms or no symptoms. Other people DIE--and its happened by upwards of 850 MILLION in just this country alone in a short time relatively.
Oh, some unknown number had underlying conditions? That doesn't mean they would be DEAD if they had not contracted COVID 19 IDIOTS!!!!
But just keep playing make believe until everyone is dead. Its what you morons want so desperately.

I just got to your first statement, and realized that you are out of touch with what most of us feel like. We aren't denying the pandemic. We aren't denying COVID. We aren't denying deaths. What we are doing is trying to get you people to see through the lies. Remember the "wear the mask, end the pandemic" back in 2020? Or the "get the shot, end the pandemic" in 2021? Now we are in 2022, and the numbers are HIGHER THAN EVER. What you are not realizing is that the governments of the world kept coming up with statements of how to "prevent the spread", but they knew there was nothing that would work, but they also knew that they couldn't come out and say this because people like you would FREAK OUT and think "the world is ending". Mother Nature throws us a curve ball every 100+/- years, and the world freaked out again.
As for those with underlying conditions, they would have had the same outcome if it were a bad flu season instead of COVID. Do we wear masks forever? Take booster shots every 3 months forever? Just to make you feel good that someone who is in poor health, who is always a threat to catch something that could worsen their condition, was "protected"?
Pretty simple solution: You are scared, stay home. That's how you prevent the spread to people like you.
No, better idea, you don't get to go around infecting other people because you believe in right wing conspiracies and ********. YOU stay home and everyone else can wear masks and get vaccines as necessary to eliminate this deadly pandemic and so things can get back to functioning as we all would like.
Making up that people would have the "same outcome" due to underlying conditions is PURE ********. No one ever died from the flu at rates people are infected with by Covid. And you have 0 information as to how many people did or did not have ANY underlying condition, yet are STILL DEAD DUE TO COVID.
No hospitals and medical services all over the country have ever been flooded over capacity with seriously ill and dying patients because of the normal FLU! That is a right wing conspiracist LIE with no basis in FACT.
You aren't a scientist or a doctor and there are not any legitimate people in science making the baseless ******** claims pretending Covid isn't real. ITS LITERALLY KILLING PEOPLE! Do you asshats not understand this? It doesn't care if you are a right wing political hack--PEOPLE ARE DYING! Not just because--BECAUSE OF COVID. FOX and these other places REQUIRE VACCINES AND MASKING to work--the same monsters telling you NOT to do it ARE!! Wake the f up.
Stop spreading disinformation. If you want to kill yourself then by all means, that doesn't mean you have some "right" to kill or infect others. What the f is wrong with all of you? PEOPLE ARE REALLY DYING. Its not make believe, its not politics, its an f'ing disease that if people would pay attention to in reality would already have been severely mitigated.

I guarantee that he watches CNN and/or MSNBC multiple hours every day. His takes on every subject are rooted in extreme left-wing ideology, and he pukes this nonsense out as if it is factual.
#1: I'm a Democrat, not a Republican who reads what's on FoxNews or "right-wing conspiracies". So that pretty much shot down your rest of the argument on me.
#2: The virus causes only a very small amount of people to be hospitalized when compared to the total population.
#3: People die every day, from heart attacks and obesity (should we shut down McDonald's and Taco Bell?), to cancer (ban tobacco....I'm all in on that one!!!!), or house fires and car accidents (no more wood houses or electricity, and no more automobiles).
#4: If you want to protect yourself, wear a mask. If you are worried that I am not wearing a mask, then YOU WEAR TWO!!!! Problem solved. Really, it's that easy.
I take it you didn;t vote for Trump then?........enjoying that inflation and the 3,20 gas and the 6 buck bacon ?
Stupid narrative....where did I say that....thanks for that typical low iq retort.
Thanks for putting STAY HOME in caps.....That really drives home your stupidity.
The only thing that scares me about you is your low IQ.
I am done with you dumbasses....go party your asses off!
Just don't catch it and pass it to someone you care about and they become a statistic....maybe that would wise your dumbass up.

Hold the phone!
Where are you finding 6 buck bacon? That may be a per slice cost, so please verify or tell us where the bacon is at.
I can, you can, anyone can, pass it to anyone else with or WITHOUT masks and with or WITHOUT vaccines. Moron.
Will you stop graphically expressing how you get random dudes off? Enough is enough.
