The OHSAA is doing exactly what the Governor told it to do. I’m sure though you’d have stood up to the governor and said No!

Sounds like you're pissed because you won't have as many people in the Convo the rest of the week. and your school year just got extended 5 days with the closure of the Athens Cith Schools. All of these preventative measures are exactly what should be done. It's called spreading the curve to allow current medical capacity to handle the increase in cases. It's kind of like a timed entry to an event or site - spread the crowd out over a whole day and everyone gets proper treatment.

Not at all, I’ll work year round, doesn’t matter to me. Proof you don’t really know me as you would know I’m not an advocate of summer break and would like to see a reform of school years. 2nd, the Convo and the people working will put on the best show possible, wether it’s Columbus East who brought 11 fans one year, or Chillicothe who brought 8,000. It’s all the same to us. I will tell you this though, you are always free to volunteer to help events like this that bring people and positive press to the city and university.

I'd start with backing up the start of the school day until at least 8:30. As for volunteering, that's what I'm doing when you see me out at the high school as often as you do. Unfortunately the closing of the schools affects the next three volunteer sessions - mentoring a group of 5 students, the Business Advisory Committee and possibly Career Day. Flexibility and creative problem solving will be the order of the day for the next two months.

Maybe you could go mentor the commissioner of the MAC, the CBI, the NCAA and the NBA. While you are at it talk to the governor and give him counsel and ask the President to allow AHS students now stuck in Europe for 30 days how you’ve got the better plan. With all the cancellations across the nation and the world of much bigger events, you still want to pick on the OHSAA Bottom line, you are criticizing something that quite frankly at the end of the day you knew very little about the process and decision making. But I get it, that’s what you do best.

And I said volunteer to help events you are so quick to criticize, I’ll be looking for help tomorrow at 4:30 since I’ve cut staff to help save money.

At any rate, sad that it has come to this. History will judge this as a necessary evil or something completely stupid

The critics always win, because if these measures work impeccably, they will look overblown. If they don’t work, the critics just disappear into the woodwork.

This is where leaders just do the right thing and turn off their mentions..

This is exactly right. If everything calms significantly, nobody is going to credit these measures, they'll think that is was much ado about nothing. Amazing how everyone feels now that they know better than the NIH, WHO, CDC...

Risking something like what’s happening in Italy makes this a no-brainer (and by the way, our system is much less able to handle an outbreak than theirs). Here’s a snapshot from the front lines:

Your schtick is getting old. You argue both sides of the coin, troll people relentlessly, and claim to know everyone in every organization in America. I'll tell you what, when you give up all of your paid positions as a district rep, tournament coordinator, and video assistant and volunteer your time, I'll be more than happy to join you. Until then, keep on keeping on with your tiresome drivel.

The board has rules, simple as that. The people here want to pretend what they know find. At the end of the day do we follow rules or not? Up to you. I’ve got nothing to hide, I am as upfront as anyone, want to talk to me face to face always available if you think you really know me. Feel free

What is “What they know find” is that a rule? Up to you too, btc, want to talk to me in my face always available, my medi nature is perfect just like the transcript.

Getting cold in here, Comrades.

Россия – священная наша держава,
Россия – любимая наша страна.
Могучая воля, великая слава –
Твоё достоянье на все времена!

Припев:
Славься, Отечество наше свободное,
Братских народов союз вековой,
Предками данная мудрость народная!
Славься, страна! Мы гордимся тобой!

От южных морей до полярного края
раскинулись наши леса и поля.
Одна ты на свете! Одна ты такая
хранимая Богом родная земля!

Припев

Широкий простор для мечты и для жизни
грядущие нам открывают года,
нам силу даёт наша верность отчизне,
так было, так есть и так будет всегда!

Thank you, Comrade Pete. Comrade Google gives the following translation to your post:

Russia is our sacred power,
Russia is our beloved country.
Mighty will, great glory -
Your treasure for all time!

Chorus:
Glory to our free Fatherland,
The fraternal peoples of the age-old union,
Ancestors given the wisdom of the people!
Glory to the country! We proud of you!

From the southern seas to the polar region
spread our forests and fields.
You alone in the world! You are the only one
God's native land!

Chorus

Wide scope for dreams and for life
the coming years open to us,
our loyalty to our homeland gives us strength
it was, it is, and it always will be!
