| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Boneyard with Steve Robertson. As always, I am your good friend and host, Steve Robertson, on a special edition of the Bornyard back on late Wednesday night, early Thursday morning for whichever, whatever you're listening preference. A lot has happened since we have been together. You know, we had with big Wednesday show, our regular hum-day edition of |
| 0:21.1 | the yard. We spoke earlier today. Uh, you know, just kind of set up a big week, you know, a big week. And, uh, you know, listen, we've got a lot to talk about tonight. And, uh, there were a lot of people there, one of the things that I want to say, number one, I love Twitter. okay I do I. I love Twitter. But the best and worst thing about |
| 0:39.1 | Twitter is that anybody can use it. And then there are a lot of people that get out there and |
| 0:43.1 | they promote confusion and chaos. And sometimes it's out of ignorance and sometimes it's out of |
| 0:48.4 | malice. And so I wanted to kind of review a couple things that have happened tonight that will negatively impact your ability to view ball games in person for at least the month of March. |
| 1:03.0 | Since we have been together, the NCAA has announced that the men's and women's NCAA tournaments will be viewed without fans. That does impact |
| 1:13.6 | us here at Mississippi State as the Lady Bulldogs were expected and will host the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament. |
| 1:20.6 | Fans will not be able to attend. Shortly after the NCAA made their statement, the SEC was one of the last |
| 1:30.6 | conferences to kind of make the jump, but they have now kind of fallen in line with |
| 1:34.9 | everybody else that they are going to also forego the fan experience at the |
| 1:42.2 | remaining games of the SEC basketball tournament. |
| 1:44.8 | There are two games that have been played, and the Arkansas Vanderbilt game appears to be the |
| 1:49.5 | last one of the SEC tournament that fans will be able to attend. |
| 1:54.4 | There will be some limited family, some limited staffers. |
| 1:59.0 | There will be no pet band. |
| 2:00.7 | There'll be no cheerleaders. There'll be no POMSquoters. There'll be no pet bands. There'll be no cheerleaders. There'll be no |
| 2:02.3 | Palm Squatters. There'll be no Rick Rowdies or any of that, no matter when you call it, you know. |
| 2:09.8 | None of those people will be able to attend. There will be credentialed media able to attend the game. |
| 2:13.7 | There will be no locker room access. I don't know how that all will be handled. |
| 2:20.0 | Then Mississippi State issued a statement, and I'm going to give you clarification on everything |
| 2:25.3 | that has been said. So there is no room for interpretation. And then I'm going to tell you what I think |
| 2:30.7 | it all means. I am not a doctor. I do not work for the Centers for Disease |
