Illinois ST right now about to play #1 seed Northern Iowa
Love the MVC tourney

big south quarterfinal 9 seed NC A&T up on 1 seed Longwood towards end
-
Longwood won
-
Longwood heh
-
South Dakota st could be a bracket buster

Some feller on the friendbook was suggesting Grandison is done for the year. Haven't seen anything to support that, though.

That would not be good.
-
It didn’t look good when he had the collision. Looked like a broken collarbone perhaps.
-
That would not be good.
Well, I hope it's just some dipshit acting like they're an insider. Everything else I read said he was day to day.
-
If Hawkins can stay focused and Melendez is healthy we should be OK, but would love to have Grandison out there. He is 41% 3 point guy with almost 2 a game, and makes pretty good decisions overall.
We should be fine in first two games of NCAA unless we totally melt down.
After that we have to be playing very well.
The real wild card is what Curbelo will show up. A S16 game will be decided by a couple possessions and he is still looser than fuck with the rock.
-
If Grandison was a game time decision vs xxxx, and Underwood said on Monday that he's day to day I think it's safe to say it's not broke.
Hawkins ability to play as well as he did putting up 9 and grabbing 11 boards while only picking up 2 fouls will hopefully result in many more games like that. Staying out of foul trouble has not exactly been the strongest part of his game.

They probably could be, but possibly not, although if they aren't, then they can't be really...right?

TEMPOCHIEF has spoken
-
The emergence of RJ and Hawkins helped with Grandison but outside of the brilliant game at Sparty he’s not been giving us much lately and his defense has been flat footed and horrid at times. And he’s another guy that basically gives you spot up threes and occasional putbacks. When not fouling RJ and Hawk are much better potential defenders and certainly more dynamic on offense. Obviously Hawk can’t match Jake’s 3 shooting prowess.
I wouldn’t put much stock into what the staff says regarding short term player availability, especially this time of year. They seem to like to keep opponents guessing as much as they can.

;D ;D ;D ::) :P

Nebby and Wildkitties have a good game going.
-
So much for Nebraska. Were up for 15 in the 2nd half, lost by 2.
-
Brucie blow by coming up.
Time to take your awful haircut to retirement.

Has anyone done the Big Ten Tournament seeding history since our last 1-seed in 2005?

Weber fired, Groce hired.

Bad losses for Wake and Xavier
Va Tech/Clemson was a fun ending
-
Indiana making a big comeback against Michigan, just hope they can pull it out. Let’s go Indiana! I can’t believe I’m saying that, but I fucking hate Michigan and wanna see them lose.
-
That had to be at least a 19-2 run.
-
In like 6 minutes too. This is awesome 😂
-
Epic meltdown by Michigan
-
Bardo : let's see what Howard dialed up.
Howard: just throw the ball out of bounds. Lol.
-
This is pretty exciting. I’m actually up cheering for an Indiana-Michigan game 😂

So, Michigan is probably out, right? No tourney for them?
If so, how do you not fire Juwan?

I think they should be out, but I’m sure the committee won’t let that happen. Which is complete bullshit. Their record and showing this year is abysmal. From NCOY to not making the tourney. Not much turnover in roster and a top-5 recruiting class this year. How embarrassing 😂 I love it!

Oh geez. He posted a minute before my fat fingers finished.
-
Did Martelli slap Howard in the hand shake line ?
Warde Manuel ?
-
Michigan led 60-43 with 11 minutes left.
IU ends the game on a 31-9 run.
Great fucking work, Howard. Went from top 5 to the NIT. Allowing them into the tourney would be a complete fucking disgrace.

Agree. The game should be treated like a play in game. IU takes their place.
-
Iowa having their way vs NU.
-
Bohannan the anal-time leader for threes in the B1G. Fuck that little bitch. I think they said he’s only like 14 away from JJ Redick’s record. Somebody punch him in the face please.
And no, that’s not a typo on my part!
-
Iowa having their way vs NU.
Collins has lost the team. Players blowing him off.
Here comes Bruce Weber.
-
Kinda sucks they are rewriting the record books with the fifth year shit. Definitely asterisk.
-
TCU, down 18 at the half, up 3 on Texas with 16 seconds left. 1 more free shot attempt coming up for the Frogs.
-

Yeah it’s definitely bullshit

Howard still available for that ?
-
"A come back for the ages" says the announcer. Could be a good line in The Chris Beard story.
65-60 TCU. 20 second half points for Tx.
-
Howard still available for that ?
At least he’d be good at something. If I’m Michigan, he should’ve been fired. So much bad behavior and talent and they have this season?! Just uncalled for.
-

LOL
-
Iowa with 64 points in first half.
Hope they get it out of their system now.
-
Assuming we both make it to Saturday, not at all looking forward to a third matchup with Iowa.

Agree. Very hard to beat a good team 3 times.
They also have the good McCaffery back.
-
And Lunardi has Michigan with last 4 byes, Indiana in last 4 in.

Yeah I saw that and it’s ridiculous. That was from yesterday and Indiana had a better record at the time he had that. Just don’t understand it. Indiana just beat them, and with Michigan’s record you’d think they’d be an out now. Right?! 🤔
-

I didn't know that was yesterday.
Michigan should tell Howard that he needs to tell his players that because of him, they're not accepting an NIT bid.
-
Iowa with 64 points in first half.
Hope they get it out of their system now.
And 91 points with 10 minutes to play, 96 with 5 to play. Collins should ask if NW could play with 7 against 5 the last 5 minutes to get the margin under 20.
-
Fran just about kicked one of his players ass after they took and made a 3 with time winding down.
19 three pointers by Iowa today. Damn they were on fire.
-
Collins has lost the team. Players blowing him off.
Here comes Bruce Weber.
Weber to NW, that would be great. Would love to see that.
-
Iowa might be a sneaky final 4 team
-
Bardo and Katz are being a a bunch of Howard and Michigan apologists right now on BTN. 🤢 it’s sickening
-
I can’t believe people get worked up about what analysts say about other coaches. Lol who cares?
-

It’s a perception/narrative thing. It is relevant as it persuades people, committees, NCAA, recruits, and definitely has an impact on programs. You really don’t think that?! It can also just be really disrespectful in a lot of ways.
-
The window for Chris Collins to have success at NW is over. Their AD should fire him.
I’d hire Bryce Drew. I think Drew got a raw deal at Vanderbilt with his top players missing most of the season he got fired. Plus he knows the area from being at Valpo

But you were supposed to say Bardo has 17k followers on the Twitter, and Katz has 484k.

Penn State pulls the upset!

Ugh Purdue gets Ped St

Ugh Purdue gets Ped St
So?
The Nittany defense is effing awesome. Maybe it took a year to get Micah's principles installed, but it's clicking now. And Micah knows everything there is to know about BoilerBall.
This is an excellent development.
Also, EJ Liddell was just broken in the postgame presser. I really like him, so I'm not happy about that. I'll also be interested to see whether Holtmann can survive without Ryan Pedon.
-
This U$C Washington game is fucking awful no wondering why the stadium is only 25% full
USC has like 20 million turnovers and UW is 2 for their last 15
-
Sorry guys
-
We better wake up!
-
Sorry guys
It's ok. We know the Soviets are targeting HQ2 despite the Soviet apologists.
-
We don't need a low scoring muckety muck game but we're letting the Hoosiers control things
-
We should be up 10 with how many bunnies we’ve missed.
-
been kind of another ugly game, only seen bits and parts so far.
-
Wow that Curbelo pass was fucking amazing! Like Bardo said, you don’t even see that on the NBA level! That and then the Hawkins 3! Let’s go!
-
Refs coulda looked at Hawkins getting slapped in the face.
-
Looks like Indiana was underseeded.
-
locking ourselves into a #5 seed
-
How ridiculous
-
Look like a bunch of 5th graders on offense.
-
we don't deserve to win the game
-
Look well coached today!
-
pathetic.
-
brutal
-
crap
-
That was hilarious.
-
Didn’t watch it. Had a bad feeling about it when the forum crashed.
You deserve to lose when you go the final 5 minutes without a FG.
-
Can't wait for the excuses today from the Merrymen! So great that Illinois was CO-B1G CHAMPS!
-
we'll be a 5, Indiana will be a 12. Good thing we got our 5/12 upset out of the way
-
5 seed here we come.
-
This fucking team.
Hopefully that's the upset and we show the fuck up next weekend.
-
5 seed here we come.
At least there will be the ready-made 5/12 excuse for many here.
Hopefully this gets their heads on straight for the only tournament that matters, because it is doubtful Underachiever will be able to coach them up in clutch situations.
-
zero chance of that happening.
-
Let’s hope we learn from this because the next loss and the season is over. Hopefully we got it out of the way!
-
Underachiever can go to KSU next week.
-
Did we go about 20 minutes without a bucket ?
Kofi, 7-8 on free shots. The rest, 8-15.
36% shooting.
We let them dictate the whole game.
-
Illinois missed 5 front ends of 1 and 1's.
-
Free shots and layups cost us the game.
And how ironic that Kofi was basically our best FT shooter.
-
Let’s hope we learn from this because the next loss and the season is over. Hopefully we got it out of the way!
unfortunately I think its a what you see is what you get out of this team. We've been playing pretty shitty basketball over the course of the last 2 months. Played decent in 3 games. Wisconsin, @ Indiana, and home with Iowa. Every other game we played in and around those games was absolute horse shit first to 60 basketball.
-
This offense sucks. Kofi is only player u can count on. Everyone else is a wild card. Guards were terrible today.

Basically Tempo was right? Like the Mack trade?
-
Don’t worry guys. Sparky still loves these guys and thinks this is a great season.
When Plummer is that off, Illinois has no chance vs a good team. Indiana sucks, and Hawkins had a career game so it was still a close game.
Frazier a no look pass with 12 seconds left in the game was one of the dumbest plays I’ve ever seen from a 5th year senior
-
Let’s hope we learn from this because the next loss and the season is over. Hopefully we got it out of the way!
The only thing we’ve learned is how to be inconsistent.
-
How many teams have lost their first conference tourney game and then won the title?
-
Other than the Marquette game, Illinois has won every one of these ugly close games. Today they finally lost.
Will be a popular upset pick in the 5/12 game
-
How many teams have lost their first conference tourney game and then won the title?
Going back to 1994. Zero.
-
We have no mid range game or athleticism. Bigs are excellent with Kofi and lately Hawk coming on strong. So it falls to our guards, they make shots we win. If they miss shots we lose.
Let's hope we don't get any morning games in the tourney. We know all too well the outcome.

probably. Illinois guards are way too inconsistent. Thats the biggest problem with this team.
-

Not the stat we would be hoping for.
-
Underachiever can go to KSU next week.
Wow this is ignorant! Quite the overreaction. Wouldn’t expect any different from him though.
-
Going back to 1994. Zero.
Lol. Title. I'll be ecstatic with a sweet sixteen. This is a team with double digit losses not the 05 Illini.
-
I just want at least a S16 this year. That’s my bar. That’s all I ask and I’ll be ok this off-season. That’s just two more wins guys. Two.
-
Classic letdown game. IU was playing for their lives and has been decent lately. Their D had us sped up throughout and they let them play physical which is why a lot of the short shots didn’t fall. Trent and Plummer couldn’t hit anything with plenty of open looks.
Nice game for Hawk though.
With everything this team has dealt with making a sweet 16 and having a good showing there would make me happy.
Fucking Curbelo man. Jesus. Marquette all over again at the end.
Let’s get healthy this week and come out hungry.
-

A Sweet Sixteen is all I’m asking for right now.
-
It is pretty telling that the most experienced player in program history throws the ball away in clutch time and that our electric PG thinks he's Clyde Drexler but can't draw a foul in a last play scenario. Worst end-game management since the Bruce bad days.
The "bad" scenario is that we crap out early in the NCAAs and our bro-love AD gives Underwood a huge raise anyway to fend off suitors anyway.
-
If it helps, it doesn't. #8 TAM beats #1 Auburn.
-
The "bad" scenario is that we crap out early in the NCAAs and our bro-love AD gives Underwood a huge raise anyway to fend off suitors anyway.
"Worse" scenario is that crap out early, Underachiever goes back to K State, and then Guenther, Jr. brings back *gulp* BAM.
-
Been telling you guys our half-court offense sucks for weeks. Embarrassing loss for the “league champs.” Tournament hopes and expectations severely downgraded.
-
"Worse" scenario is that crap out early, Underachiever goes back to K State, and then Guenther, Jr. brings back *gulp* BAM.
The only thing that could make that scenario "even worse" would be Illinois losing to Loyola, again, in the 5/12 matchup.

That is right up there. But Weber being re-hired would truly be frightening.

Thankfully I think Guenther Jr. understands BAM's Boy Scout compliance approach is a detriment.

I wouldn't give a nickel for this team's chances next week.
Either 4 upset by 13, or 5 upset by 12.
-
So I have been digging through the teams statistics since the Purdue game earlier this season at home. Our 3 point shooting is horrible. Over the last 14 game stretch we are averaging 25 attempts per game while only converting on less than 35%. of them. I think the analytics say if you attempt 30 or more 3's per game and shoot less than 40% from the arc while doing so you have a little less than a 99% chance to lose.
-
I bet less than 10% of Illinois FG attempts this year have been outside the paint but inside the arc.
-
Fouls were as usual B1G style....can't point to that at all here. When you go 10 minutes in first half without a FG and miss how many free throws and layups...well straight garbage.
ILLINI will seriously struggle first game out if they play like this again.
Hawk and Belo for the things they do well.....well don't do enough well with all the mistakes factored in.
-
If it helps, it doesn't. #8 TAM beats #1 Auburn.
That Auburn loss is fine with me, Bruce Pearl sucks.
Went fishing today, missed the game. The fish weren't hitting and neither could the Illini outside of Kofi and Hawkins. Another poster said they don't shoot/hit shots in the area outside the lane and inside the 3 line. Too much standing around waiting to shoot 3s.
Any word if Grandison will be able to play next week?
-
Ron Harper calling out the B1G. I love it!

-
+10 foul disparity, +13 FT disparity and Iowa shot 25-27 from the line. They ejected the fucking strength and conditioning coach.
Iowa's fans probably still think the refs were against them somehow.
-
We are 5-4 in our last 9 games.
I am not going to blame any specific players. Plenty of that to go around.
We are not playing well overall, and the rotations and adjustments by staff are not working.
Hopefully the days off will be a reset.

You're being too kind.
This looked like one of those games of let's roll out the ball, and see what shakes.
-
I get jumped on if I comment on coaching. The guys have to make shots and get stops. Staff can't be blamed for missing FTs, open looks, and poor decisions.
Nobody on staff or the guys on court are doing their job right now. We need to pull it together.
That said, the BT looks like shit overall right now other than Iowa.
This MSU vs Wisky game is peach basket shit.
-
Spark spot on about Johnny Davis. High volume shooter. He’s having a terrible performance for being B1G POTY.

Our first half makes us look like an offensive juggernaut compared to Wisky vs Sparty.
Nonetheless, I don't know how much time we had the lead after 6-2 but it sure didn't seem like much.
I would say Woodson got the best of the coaching battle.
Hopefully we got it out of our system in short order. All teams are 0-0 going into the tourney.
-
Michigan State can’t shoot free shots either. They’re trying to give Wisconsin the win.
-
Down goes Wisconsin as well!
Johnny Davis was trash. 3-19 from the field. Kofi deserved B1G POTY.
-
Lower seed takes down higher seed in a low scoring game, with defense.
-
3/19 lolol
-
Would be something else to see all 4 teams with a bye lose their opening round game.
-
B1G has to fix the officiating. This tournament is an embarrassment.
-
The Big 10 is a bad league.
-
I do like this Purdue team tho. They should at least be an Elite 8 team.
-
B1G has to fix the officiating. This tournament is an embarrassment.
It's been bad as usual
-
They let Ivey get away with blatant carry at 63-61.
I mean his hand was totally under the ball and took two steps.
Great athlete, but refs were MIA.
-
Refs seem to always be MIA or the star of the show. No I’m between.
-
The member institutions need to take group action and fix this shit before next season. Today was a showcase of nearly unwatchable basketball from 10:30 am to 10:30 pm.
It isn’t just about being palatable entertainment. Elite prep players for the most part don’t want to play in this environment and it’s been proven year after year. The conference is in a 22 year title drought that almost certainly won’t be ended this season.
The B1G has held onto a style of play that’s long dead to the rest of college basketball. It’s detrimental to the conference and its member institutions.
B1G basketball has become the pre-Epstein era Chicago Cubs of college basketball. Packed houses celebrating mediocrity. Money keeps rolling in, so no impetus for change.
-
Agree. Huge variances on what is a foul.
-
Agreed.
-
Iowa is now top rated team in BT in KenPom at 13.
Purdue at 14.
Illinois 18.
Wisconsin 34.

Agree. Thanks Izzo. You're a big part of this. Just watch how badly Edey gets mugged today.
-
That little clownshoes ass will be begging and whining for fouls everytime Edey makes a post move
-
Keady and purdue started that smacky shove ball shit
fuck both of those teams
-
I thought we got bumped quite a bit yesterday. Two out of bounds calls had us with looks of wtf.
Looks like Hoosiers vs xxxx gets the same crew.
-
Iowa looks like ass
-
OK. Murray bros just hit 4 straight threes.
Crazy
-
TJD with 14. Guy has been going nuts
-
He is quick.
Murray is ridiculous.
-

Knight's IU teams did the same thing with a lot more talent almost decade earlier. But it was Fred Taylor who started it at tOSU.
-
Iowa coming back down to earth, or where has this Indiana been all year 🤔
-
Indiana going to beat Iowa. What a run from being down 17 vs Michigan
-
This game ain't over
-
Or maybe not. Just blew a 9 point lead with 5 minutes left
-
Hoosiers got a big rebound with 2+ to go, kicked the pass out and guy misses a 3. They should have settled down and taken time. xxxx gets the rebound and hits a 3.
Not a good shot for the Hoosiers.
-
Iowa might be the team that goes the furthest
-
Bohannon with some garbage and Iowa wins
-
Wow that’s a crazy finish! Jo Bo Bitch with the buzzer beater. That was insane!
-
Bohannon with some garbage and Iowa wins
Ugh
-
Tyler Perry is coaching Norfolk State.
Must be between Medea roles.
-
Iowa is en fuego
Look like they can compete with anyone right now.
-
Not to rag on Miller Kopp, but up 3 he missed the 3 at 2:34.
Race Thompson got the rebound at 2:35.
Sure, a 3 would have been nice but Kopp ended up 2-7 from 3. If the Hoosiers could have taken 15 seconds off the clock and gotten 2, but ......
xxxx gets the rebound and Bohannon his the 3 at 2:27 left to tie it.

MSU and Purdue in a 15 - 13 tractor pull with 7 minutes left in half.

Took a couple of minutes, but Sparty added a point to get up to 14. ;D
-
So Wtf was with the Purdue guy who dribbled up sideline went out of bounds for 3 steps, then came back in bounds and dribbled in for a layup.
Nance was speechless except to say how uncharacteristic it was for officials to miss a call.
It is like grade school refs out there.
-
I don’t usually mind a physical brand of basketball, but god damn. This big 10 and style of play is ridiculous.

Didn't they hit a shot with under 5 seconds left to beat the team that yesterday beat us and caused half our fanbase to meltdown and decide we suck?
-
Purdue has 5 team fouls in the 2nd half with 3 minutes left. Lol, ok.
-
Tennessee knocks out Kentucky. No hardware for them this year in regular season or in conference tournament. Makes me happy.
-

Well, I guess that is one way to look at it to help people feel better.
-
We shot 36%/36%/65%. Auburn shot 30%/25%/61%. Kentucky shot 34% and 10% from 3.
Bad shooting days happen. You don't get to pick your days.
30-35% ain't gonna win many games unless you do everything else very well, including defense.
-
Well, I guess that is one way to look at it to help people feel better.
Because being the 5 seed is the same as being the 1 seed?
-

Kansas up on Texas Tech 37-36 at the half.
JCL with no stats anywhere in 2 minutes.
-
I was eating some chili and having a drink 🥃 and not paying much attention to that game. Heard the announcers say Jalen Coleman-Lands and immediately looked up forgetting he’s STILL in college playing ball.
-
Larry Brown is 81 years old and is willing to be an assistant coach at Memphis under Penny. That’s crazy to me. He just really is a basketball lifer

We shot 36%/36%/65%. Auburn shot 30%/25%/61%. Kentucky shot 34% and 10% from 3.
Bad shooting days happen. You don't get to pick your days.
30-35% ain't gonna win many games unless you do everything else very well, including defense.
True.
We will go as far as our defense and the 3 ball takes us.
Only need to be pretty good for two games to get to a S16.
-
First one to 40 wins the Big East.
-
Don't look now, but the #4 Zips playing #2 Kent State for the MAC. Zips up 6 with 2 to go in the 1st half.
Hang a banner.
"Four Kent State players, including starting guard Malique Jacobs, have been disciplined by the Mid-American Conference for a social media post in advance of Saturday's championship game against rival Akron."

What did it say???
-
What did it say???
Think they rapped "Fuck Akron" in a video or something. Seems odd.
-
John Groce has got Akron playing really well. They look good and kudos to him. I’m sure he’ll get another shot at a higher school at some point.
That Ali Ali on Akron is a good player.
-
Nightmare scenario of us losing the 4/13 match up to Akron is still very much in play it looks like.
-
Boy wouldn’t that be something huh 😬
-
John Groce is a stud in the MAC tourney
-
Vermont, Akron, Iona are all teams I’d pick to beat Illinois
-
Of course you would. Go away.
-
Please let Va Tech beat Duke!
-
Gonna be Illinois vs Akron in 1st round, isn’t it?!
-
Duke sucks. They’ll be better with Scheyer as coach. K seems like a bitter old man
-
Arizona vs UCLA has been very entertaining so far both are very good teams
-
One thing I noticed yesterday is Chester Frazier is the only person on the whole team and possibly the arena, that was wearing a mask.
Anyone ask him why he’s doing that?
-
Who cares. If he wants to he wants to. What does it matter?
-
Go VT
-
VT pulled it out. Now anybody, just don’t let Duke win the NC please!
-
Please let Va Tech beat Duke!
I do not want to see Va Tech in our region.

Them and Iowa are on fire right now. I think Purdue beats Iowa tomorrow though.

He respects life and science more than others?

Don’t think anybody is gonna beat Arizona. I think they’ll cut down the nets.

Yeah they are ridiculously good

Iowa won't be able to claim the effective Big Ten championship?

So he can curse and no one can read his lips?
-
5 min or so in, and TAM is 0 for the game. They managed an offensive rebound on 8 bricks to go with 2 turnovers. Down 14-0
-
Bilas on pregame said Illinois will be underseeded and could go on a run. Hope he's right.
-
He respects life and science more than others?
Yeah that’s probably it.

Kind of confused. What would that have to do with Chester?
-
Jerry Palm predictions. Ky and Auburn get 2 seeds. Tn gets a 3. How does Tn not get a 2, or a 1 and move Ky or Auburn down a peg ?
-
Unless Chester has mentioned it to someone, no one other than Chester knows why he wears a mask.
And he doesnt have to explain why.
The end.

If I had to guess, I would say he has an immunocompromised relative.

If I had to guess, he’s been a germaphobe his entire life and wearing masks is something he’s always wanted to do
Or he married a Japanese woman, and in Japanese culture masks in public have been common for a long time well before 2020.
These are the pressing issues a Rob should be able to find out
-
Bunch of women gossiping.
-
Iowa is gonna do it. Still think they will flop in the tourney.
-
This game ain't over
-
Here comes Purdue…
-
17 turnovers killing PU.
-
Iowa is gonna pull it out. Unless there’s some more March Madness.
-
Turnovers.

Lol Purdue didn't win shit this year
-
I hate seeing Iowa celebrate.
It’s crazy that Purdue didn’t win any hardware this year and might be the highest rated B1G team.
-
At the game?
Maybe he wants to avoid catching it at a game and bringing it home?
-
Bunch of women gossiping.
That's funny.
-
I was out walking the dog, but last I checked Purdue was up.
On a scale of 1 to 10, how big a choke was it? I need to have the appropriate level of trash talk ready

I woulda much rather seen Trent with the trophy instead of the 12th year guy from xxxx.

No choke. They had the lead for 1:53.

Davidson will beat Michigan State to ruin the Izzo/K storyline
-
Bigger chance now that Illinois gets Akron lol

Haven't paid enough attention to get the joke. From planet Krypton - can I guess that Groce is coaching Akron?

In case you haven’t heard, there’s still a pandemic among us. Who gives a fuck why he’s wearing it. Kudos to him.

A Rob has been reporting on these issues since the W administration, including plenty of information about this particular non-Japanese woman.
She was in a live stream video *today* forfuxake. With a gottdamn speaking role.

Anyone have any idea what Robb is trying to say here?

Just curious. How did the "Robb" thing come about? I missed that...

I do.

He equated my misspelling of Leila Rahimi’s name to “spreading misinformation.” So I started calling him “Robb.” Because I like to “spread misinformation.”
-
Ah. Alrighty.
-
Keep it that way. You're better off.
You had no idea I’m sure.
-

Chester is not married to a Japanese woman. Why Rob wrote in the 3rd person remains unknown.
-
Good to know Mn and Calvin speak "Robb." Could come in handy in the future.
-
Probably not, actually.
Whole thing is fucking stupid. But whatever.
-

Agreed.

That day may never come, but if you need someone to speak "Robb" for you, you will be happy to have Calvin and Mn there.

Gonna need help with this one too, Calvin.
-
I guess we’re all too dumb Robb. Please be of use and explain it to us. We all know you’re much smarter than everybody here.
-
I'll overthink what I want when I want and at no other time.

Fine?

I was accused of misinformation back in December as omicron was on the rise. I said the pandemic had become endemic and was something we had to live with. I came to this conclusion by evaluating the science and listening to friends of mine in the medical profession. A couple months later, and that became the official message. It’s a fine line between misinformation and being AOTC.
-
It was never going to be a permanent pandemic. Especially after effective vaccines were created. Congrats on your being a genius.

Or maybe they had no choice when the “90% effective” vaccines no longer controlled transmission (as was predicted by epidemiologists in Feb 2020) and cloth masks and social distancing were proven ineffective? And some people actually saw it coming?
-
Lol
-
Lol
When I shared that it was labeled as misinformation. Seems you agree with me that it wasn’t. Thanks for the solidarity.
-
I’m pretty sure it’s still classified as a pandemic. But hey man, eventually it’ll be downgraded and you’ll be right. Glad you had so much faith in the vaccines.
