Aaron Rodgers didn't hook the UW team up with some Rogan's Remedies? Dammit, now I have to parent.

wait what?

 

[Pikapppatri8]

You have a grievance? Lol

Let's break out the festivus pole.

 

[Pikapppatri8]

WTF. This is so stupid. I don't care what your stance is politically, it comes down to - Do you want to play basketball? If yes, then wear masks and have the media wear masks.

Wait a minute - did anyone test positive? Is anyone sick? The cancelled the game because they talked to the media without masks? What is the policy guiding this?

Just how stupid are the protocols? Did someone in the media test positive?

We better get paid for making that trip.

Is that players? Or Administrators? How many? I thought the NCAA was saying if you had seven players and a coach that weren't sick you could play.

This is f**king stupid.

 

[GMUgemini]

Is this excellent advice being followed at GMU?

I don’t think we have a problem with media wanting access to our practices right now…

This is f**king stupid.

I think that is an ACC rule?

Yes, and "program?" The women had to cancel. Are they considered part of the program?
And, yes, 7 players and 1 coach.

 

[Earl the Squirrel]

Well, this was disappointing but I had a sense of dread all day believing the rug would be pulled on us at the last second. Maybe they had 7 and at least one coach, but I get UW being hyper-cautious. We'll not likely ever know how many people tested positive within the program -- whether they are players, coaching staff, or the team mascot. With Big 10 conference play coming up it was unreasonable to expect they would take any undue risk simply to squeeze in a game against us.

I appreciate they gave us a chance and hope they consider us again next year. The re-match should be dubbed the, "Madison-Mason Spike Protein Classic."

Any of you with access to an X-Box or Playstation? Can you run a simulation and let us know if we would of won, or at least covered?

I doubt any video game would be very kind to Mason right now.

Wisconsin's athletic director tests positive for COVID-19 and will not be able to travel for the Badgers' bowl game

On the same day UW's men's basketball team canceled a game because of positive COVID-19 tests, UW athletic director Chris McIntosh tested positive.

www.jsonline.com

"MADISON – University of Wisconsin athletic director Chris McIntosh has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not travel to Las Vegas for UW's bowl game.

McIntosh must quarantine for 10 days.

'I would encourage everyone to follow the advice of medical professionals and get vaccinated, boosted, tested and wear a mask,' McIntosh said. 'Those mitigation measures may not keep us from contracting COVID, but there’s a good chance they will keep us from having a severe outcome.'

The Badgers are scheduled to fly to Las Vegas on Friday.

UW (8-4) is scheduled to face Arizona State (8-4) Thursday, Dec. 30, at Allegiant Stadium.

The news came about six hours after UW officials announced they had to cancel the men's basketball game against George Mason because of positive tests in the Badgers' program.

That game was set for 6 p.m. Thursday.

One day earlier, UW officials announced the women's game against Eastern Illinois had been canceled because of positive tests within the UW program.

That game was scheduled to be played early Thursday. "
