On the whole, I think the season went about as most of us expected, not a total disaster, but with problems.

UGA is going to get in ten games, it appears.  Better than zero, or two.


Finished out the regular season yesterday with 254 of 294 scheduled games between two P5 teams being played, that's ~86%.  

That's probably a little better than I would have guessed, but of course the P10 and B1G played truncated seasons, and a lot of teams ended up playing various games at only partial strength with players sitting out under quarantine protocol.

could have been better, could have been much worse

well over 50% of the games have been played

no real horror stories of athletes or coaches or staff really suffering with the virus

And no way of knowing how badly the virus spread among the millions in attendance.  Makes it easier to stomach.

There’s also no way to know how much enjoyment, pleasure, and purpose fans, coaches, and players got out of having the season.  Or, how much it helped small businesses in these college towns to stay afloat even if the crowds weren’t nearly what they usually are.

I'm sure there's a nationwide conspiracy to suppress this information

And no way of knowing how badly the virus spread among the millions shopping at Walmart and Sam's Club.  Makes it easier to stomach.

no way of knowing how badly the virus spread among the millions of students and faculty in pre-schools, grade schools, JR/SR high schools, community colleges, & Universities

No, there's no information to suppress.  That's the point.

It looked to me with some exceptions that fans were "behaving".  I suspect the spread mostly was unrelated to CFB.  

They don't have CFB in Europe obviously, just schools open for business.

I would guess with contract tracing there is some info, perhaps not nearly enough to make any leaps of faith

Germany has shut down for two weeks.  It's bad there.  Having a CFB game is not really apparently causing major infections.

Soccer in Europe during the pandemic (americanfootballinternational.com)

About like what we've done here.  Their outbreak is unrelated to soccer.

Or schools.

I think Germany saw what France did and realized their half measure (in Germany) was not working.  France has cut this back much more than anywhere else there.

Germany now has a hard stop over Christmas.
