How does this not belong in sports talk?

3/1/2009 7:08:43 PM

yeah i don't get the hate on this thread.

3/1/2009 7:26:58 PM

it aint looking good

3/1/2009 7:28:23 PM

yea i figured i was missing something but i was wondering why this thread is supposed to be locked or moved

3/1/2009 7:35:43 PM

nope, its true

3/1/2009 8:23:45 PM

the stupid in this thread is sad


I hope they're still alive, but they've been missing in a rough sea for about 36 hours. Not looking good.

3/1/2009 8:34:48 PM

maybe they were able to swim to safety

3/1/2009 10:10:01 PM

Maybe they defected to Cuba

3/1/2009 10:10:56 PM

what a i was saying was that there was a thread made in Chit Chat about this a few hours before this one was made

3/1/2009 10:39:22 PM

well this is sports talk

why should he have to deal with a chit chat thread when this is somewhat of a serious sports related topic?

3/1/2009 10:42:46 PM

I thought this thread was about Courtney Fails

3/1/2009 10:44:07 PM

i don't think they were doing any sport fishing or boat racing...thus it's not a sports topic

i guess technically it belongs in Old School since it's just alum news

3/1/2009 10:50:42 PM

ooook

Search was called off.

3/2/2009 12:01:54 AM

Uh, maybe for the night, but they will probably search again at first light.

3/2/2009 1:47:48 AM

yeah, actually the report on PFT that said it was called off was wrong

they just called back the 80 ft ships to send out 110 foot ships

regardless, it doesn't look good.

3/2/2009 1:52:48 AM

No, agreed. 21' boat + 50 NM offshore + 16' swells = bad news


If anyone goes off shore often please get one of these:

As someone who works in SAR in the open water, they take a lot of the search out of search and rescue!

3/2/2009 10:23:46 AM

just found a boat and one person clinging to the boat

just said on espn

3/2/2009 12:42:42 PM

was it t-pain or andy samberg

3/2/2009 12:47:53 PM

nick still clinging

3/2/2009 1:00:36 PM

12:27: Nick Schuyler is the boater who has been found, according to the cousin of Marquis Cooper, Ray Sanchez, who is at the Clearwater boat ramp where the men were last seen and has been getting updates from family. He was found 38 miles west of Tampa Bay alive and clinging to a boat, Sanchez said.

The Coast Guard cutter Tornado found the boat and dispatched a smaller boat to rescue him.

Same information that has already been posted, just more detail.

No way these guys are still alive.

3/2/2009 4:18:13 PM

The uhhh, white guy made it, huh?

3/2/2009 5:35:34 PM

^ well yeah, black people don't swim.


In all seriousness, it is odd how many of my black friends throughout the years couldn't swim.

3/2/2009 6:13:34 PM

Damn that's a little boat for 4 big dudes

3/2/2009 7:03:20 PM

Thats a small boat for 2 anorexic sorority girls and a midget.

No way anyone should be off shore (esp. that far) in a 21' single engine boat.

alledgedly the dude who got rescued said the other guys had life jackets on and were in good spirits...

3/2/2009 10:30:01 PM

I made a 6'2" 250 lb right defensive end out of John Marshall high school in Richmond Virginia as an NCAA Football 2009 XB360 Campus Legend, he's starting in the high school playoffs...I have a sack and an interception with him with 31 seconds left in the 2nd quarter of the 1st round of the high school playoffs...go Corey Smith

3/3/2009 12:39:33 AM

so judging from facebook status messsages i guess the dude is dead

3/3/2009 8:28:31 PM

Odds are they other 3 are dead.. It certainly doesn't look good.

3/3/2009 8:32:33 PM

well they called off the search so they better be good swimmers.

3/3/2009 8:38:22 PM

iswydt

3/3/2009 9:59:24 PM

Throw micheal phelps in there... and tell him theres a bag of pot in the players pockets.

This is sad, especially since the survivor said they saw the search lights and helicopters. I just wish they could find the bodies so that the families could have closure.

3/4/2009 9:56:23 AM

i stick to lakes so that my body is a little easier to find
