Most D1 teams that play for guarantee games only play up to 3 of them per year. In fact, most of them schedule just as many guarantee games against non-D1 schools themselves.

It's really only the SWAC and MEAC schools that play any more of them than that, and it's no surprise that those are always the two worst leagues in the country and really should just move down to D2.

Leach appeared on 710 ESPN Seattle:

“Missouri’s got a Tiger and Arkansas has a Razorback,” Leach said. “I’ve got to think those Tigers would like to eat one of those Razorbacks. Tigers are pretty formidable and can swim, climb and claw. LSU and Auburn are the Tigers too; so, now we’re up to three Tigers.


“Alabama’s the Elephants. I think they’re the Elephants. They’re one that splits direction,” Leach explained. “As impressive as an elephant is, they say it’s scared of a mouse so it has a weakness somewhere.

“You look at it carefully and melt it all down, and I think you pretty much have to go with the Mississippi State Bulldog. I think he would chase the bears around. Ole Miss is trying to figure out if they’re the Bears or the Rebels. They’re a team without a mascot right now,” Leach continued. “I think even in pictures, Mississippi State Bulldog is a better looking Bulldog than even Georgia’s is.”

I wonder if that is why the AD went totally crazy with scheduling later this decade.

Kirk Herbstreit

This is bad for football fans ... ESPN star Kirk Herbstreit says he'd be "shocked" if there was NFL or college football in 2020 -- explaining it's just too dangerous with the COVID-19 pandemic.

The "College Gameday" host went on ESPN radio late Thursday and spelled out why he's so pessimistic about seeing America's biggest sport on the biggest stages.

"I'll be shocked if we have NFL football this fall, if we have college football. I'll be so surprised if that happens," Kirk said.

"Just because from what I understand, people that I listen to, you're 12 to 18 months from a [coronavirus] vaccine. I don't know how you let these guys go into locker rooms and let stadiums be filled up and how you can play ball. I just don't know how you can do it with the optics of it."

Kirk said if he was the NFL commish or in charge of the NCAA, he would shut it down ASAP -- "Next thing you know you got a locker room full of guys that are sick. And that's on your watch? I wouldn't want to have that."

"As much as I hate to say it, I think we're scratching the surface of where this thing's gonna go."

Kirk also says he doesn't think people realize how much time college and NFL coaches need to properly prepare their teams for the long season.

"You don't all of the sudden come up with something in July or August and say, 'Okay we're good to go' and turn 'em loose!"

If we can't fill stadiums with fans I understand it

I'd like to see teams and support staff and cameras in the "empty" stadiums this fall

IF we could check everyone involved in the game, I think they could be played, with empty stadia.

players coaches and medical staff couldn't always practice good social distancing, but everyone else could

perhaps sideline rosters could be limited to 70 players like travel rosters a few years ago?

Cheerleaders could practice social distancing

Don't need cheerleaders if there is nobody in the stadium to lead.

I wonder if student, being invincible, would gather around the stadium in large crowds during the game.

Budweiser Nitro Reserve Gold

tried my first glass tonight - not bad

pairs remarkably well with Schmidt's German Beer Summer Sausage and Lay's Chile Limon chips
