I don't know. I'm sure they would like to see family, but I'd argue that they are better off with their team than we are, from an emotional standpoint.

This will be the first time ever that we will not be seeing any family or friends for Christmas.

I'm making Alton Brown's turkey. A small turkey.

They've been isolated for months.  Their peers have not.   Many of them are emotionally exhausted from that and they don't see the point in continuing it, just to play in a meaningless exhibition game.

And some of them DO want to play, and those are the teams that aren't opting out.

Looks pretty simple to me, it's preposterous to force them to continue isolating when the season is over.

See if they were at home they could make Alton Brown's Turkey - or not
Yup.  It's our choice to do so, and it's their choice too.

I'm not saying they should be forced.

Then what are you saying? If you're saying they should be allowed to choose... well then... they are choosing.  I guess you don't agree with their choice, but I do.  This season has been a beating for them, and it's now over.  If they want to return home and see their family and friends, they should.

I'm just now realizing that many of my fellow northerners have never seen Duke's mayo before.  I slowly made the transition after moving to Indiana.  Homemade is still best, but Duke's is good stuff.  We still end up w both Heilmans and Duke's in fridge.

I'm surprised so many teams are opting out of the bowl games. I get that this year is the worst ever, but I would think the kids would want to play and that the coaches would want the extra practice.

Well, that seals the deal. I'm going to get some Duke's.

I also need Chile Crunch. I'm out.

OK, and I'm saying-- I'm not surprised at all.  This season has been a complete beating for the players.  Many of them are tired of it and would rather break free from the bubble and live their lives.  They don't see the point in continuing the exhausting rigor, just to play in a meaningless exhibition game.

And I don't blame them at all for that.

They are probably safer in the bubble??
This is true.

I can see both sides. Some are worn down, some are not. I saw Pitt, which was 6-5, opted out. It's weird because the SEC is forcing teams to go, so you have some back-filling. I need to chase down the participation numbers as to which leagues are sending bad teams and which have good ones staying home.

I hope Army becomes everyone's COVID backup.

Yeah, I don't get it really. There are much closer beaches, and it isn't like there is some mega highway connecting the two places. In fact it is actually a pain in the arse to get to Myrtle Beach from Columbus. The only part that was interstate was the stretch across WV and west VA. The Ohio and Carolina routs were pseudo freeways that had long stretches with traffic lights and intersections instead of exits. You literally have to cross the entire state of NC this way, from the NW corner to the SE corner of that state. Not sure why folks didn't just go to Ocean City or Virginia Beach.

I don't blame the kids.

I blame Coach Frost for allowing them to vote and make the decision for the team.

for teams that had a successful season and feel good about next season, that's fine.  The Huskers obviously need more practice and game reps for young players.

I know this was decades ago in a different time and world, but Osborne would have accepted a bowl invite and the extra practice that came with it.
