Without wading into the debate about just how bad Memphis might be, I reiterate that the Wave looked decent last weekend and that I am excited to see them play this weekend. Roll Wave.
If I came off as intense, that was not my intent. I simply asked a question. Winwave can’t leave me alone though and had to make something out of nothing
ccaps take is right on the money just as I said. I was just trying to help you by pointing out how easily triggered you are in this situation. It's going to play out however it plays out. The team either goes on a hell of a run and he's back or they continue to play bad baseball and he's gone.
I don’t need you to help me out. Worry about you

I am hoping that we aren’t as bad as we looked prior to last weekend and that the problem has been that we are playing a lot of inexperienced players who have made a lot of mistakes- in the field, on the base paths and sometimes just bad decisions . I am on record as hoping we don’t bring Jewett back, I don’t think he makes smart in game decisions.But I wouldn’t mind seeing the boys get on a roll.

USF is 12-14 overall and 2-2 after splitting with a disappointing UCF team. They are 125 in RPI while we are 97th. They have gone 0-6 against Florida Gulf Coast and were swept by Texas Tech. A successful weekend would be 3-1.

Fishing is rained out and now this. I guess drinking will start a bit earlier than originally scheduled.

This is where you need to make a case for forfeiting. We lose four games against a team we could sweep, but someone like Wichita State gets to play them, and we get screwed.

Blame goes to Florida's Governor that has no respect for Covid opening up too quickly, does not support mask mandates, wants to outlaw vaccination card, well he is responsible for Florida's high rates of Covid and deaths!!! Florida leads the country in variants. We need to be careful when playing any of the teams from Florida or Texas!!!

We should not go anywhere near a Florida , Texas , Michigan , Arizona or California resident . They are going to continue Covid with there " I will do what I want " attitude .

Not sure where you're getting your figures from, but here's the count. Total confirmed cases is exactly the same, but its only 7,121 new cases, not 15,000. New deaths is 83, not 147.

Let's compare that to locked down California. 3,694,147 confirmed cases, over 60K dead, and 155 new deaths. Not sure how you blame Florida's numbers on lifting of mandates, but if that is the case, what's California's excuse? They've been locked down like a drum. And just to not embarrass you, I won't even bring up New York's numbers.

Or, in Arizona and California's cases, their willingness to allow untested Covid-positive illegal immigrants to roam throughout their states.

Blame China. The virus was created in a lab to run Trump out of office. Kids aren’t going to care about getting it. Nothing to do with any governor it’s personal choice.

include Texas..I am all for loading all illegals onto a train, and deliver them to cities and towns in Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, where they to, can begin enjoying English as a second language

Why didn’t I see any of y’all complaining about Latoya Cantrell or Bel Edwards when Ron Hunter got COVID and we couldn’t play a couple basketball games?

LOL. Their athletic strength coach tested positive so the rules say anybody that was in that weight room with him has to quarantine for 10 days. So ridiculous. He’s their Ron Hunter.
Tulane stayed up there and is practicing. Can’t make this stuff up.

Covid will never hurt Tulane. Naysayers you get old and spend too much hot air instead of staying positive and what happens does. Roll Wave Nation, Positivity does more for a program than anything else!!!
God Bless Everyone!

And California with 168 new deaths today. Still no indication that opening up Florida has increased the death rate, since California is still having more. And Texas, another state that's removed the mask mandate, has only 1799 new cases, and only 3 new deaths.
