11-28 USC Upstate
12-5 @Richmond
12-9 @ Cincinnati

12-19 @ Winthrop
12-21 SC State


Hopefully we will be able to get a game for Nov. 25th

This is turning into a pretty strong schedule. WCU released theirs and it included, UNCW, CofC, Tennessee Tech, UNCA, NC A&T, Troy, Bowling Green, and VCU. A lot of teams but pretty weak schedule overall.

We now have relationships with all three of the principal teams, Cincy, Duquesne, & Loyola-Chi, and there's this juicy tease in the quoted article: "The event will be a three-team, two-team event, with all three teams playing each other unless the event can add a fourth team." I wonder ...

Since we already have Cincy scheduled, very doubtful.

Is it safe to assume the opener will be at Timmons with no fans?

[Flagman]

I think "yes", given that it's just 2 weeks away and there has been no announcement about which "phase" we're in, or who among us will be given an opportunity to purchase tickets, either by lottery for season ticket holders, or Paladin Club priority points.

I know the Virus is out of control again but I can't see how fans sitting 10 feet apart wearing masks would be any huge risk to anybody.

Maybe I'm not thinking straight but isn't this a bit too conservative?

Quite true FA. You know these days we cannot take care of ourselves and everyone has to be our daddy and save us from harm. I read an article today that said the majority of people in the U.S. think the average age of dying from COVID is 65. In actuality the average age of death from COVID is 82.4. The majority also think that COVID is the leading cause of death in the U.K. When actually it is the 19th leading cause. There may be one or 2 but have you heard of a single athlete being hospitalized? How about pretty sick? The only thing you ever hear is tested positive which is good that’s all it is but the whole thing is way out of hand!

My mail today has something from Furman basketball. Should be interesting. Surprised it's coming via snail mail and not email.

Basketball delays begin.

Anyone else do a cut-out for the home BB games? If someone is struggling to get a photo ready to upload let me know - I can do a few for some of you.

Nice handwritten note from our upperclassmen.
