There's Afro mis-representing facts again.

"Vandy has suspended practice on Friday for a small outbreak, and is eager to resume practice once protocols are met."

"Yep dee done canceled duh season cause 16 undergrads hearts exploded while sniffing duh corona." Afro Probably
I wasn't misrepresenting anything (again).  

If you knew the recent history of Vanderbilt football (aside from all of the losing), you'd understand.

Didn't a Syracuse LB have 6 or 7 years because he kept getting hurt?  Conley maybe?

Vandy obviously did not end their season, but suspending practice also is not a good sign.  I doubt it is related to its being Vandy.

It'll be a 3-week season, if that.  Then our precious football won't seem so important anymore.

That's about what I expect, if they get started.

MSU had a 6th year LB a couple years back.  After 2 torn ACLs, he wasn't a very good 6th year LB.

This is the rare 7th year chance, but it's weird that 4 seasons will be AFTER being a grad transfer.

I want to say Virginia had a 7 year guy a ways back, due to cancer

This article about a Texas Tech player (who apparently didn't) potentially seeking to be the first 8 year player, states that he was the fifth 7 year waiver, but doesn't say who the first four were.

So the Ivy League, the Big Ten, and Vanderbilt aren't in on this.  And it's a bad idea?  

Call me intellectually elitist all you want, but I'm siding with them.

You claimed Vanderbilt wasn't in on Football 2020, like the Ivy League and Big Ten.
I provided you the quote to show you were wrong. 
Vanderbilt resumed practice this morning. You were wrong.
It's not debatable, it's not open to discussion, You were wrong. 

Maybe in the future they will cancel the season, but to claim suspending 3 practices to follow pandemic protocol is the same as canceling the season is a misrepresentation or ignorance at best, but most likely flagrant trolling. If you comprehended basic English communication you'd understand.

Ramey is a gifted writer.  I often agree with him, such as in this case.

It was all about the timing.  But you assume the worst from me, so that's fun.  Thanks for your contribution.  The smart people are still holding out, and that's permanent.

Were you voicing the same insincere negativity in the lead-up to the MLB or NBA returning? MLB has pushed through despite several concentrated outbreaks. And the NBA is missing games for reasons that have nothing to do with why were all hung up over whether college football gets played.

Eight Nebraska players have sued the Big Ten in an effort to reverse the postponement of football and get more clarity about how that decision was made.

I saw this.  Not sure how that actually works though.  The B1G doesn't have a contract with the Nebraska players, it has a contract with The University of Nebraska.

Seems like UNL should be the one to sue the B1G, and if they do not desire to do so, then the players should sue UNL?

But I'm no attorney.  I wish Pirates Roost were still around.  Did he ever even follow over to this current incarnation?
