If I am already a first round lock in the NFL, do I really want to play that much?

The season has already started, so the most popular poll option is off of the table.

Yep, those people probably thought everyone involved would be responsible.  They were wrong.

It's gonna be a great year - half the teams and none of the stars!

I'm obviously not very sanguine about the prospects.  It seems almost a given that some teams will get devastated and not be able to compete.  Imagine Clemson comes up with 15 starters out and loses a bunch of games ....

Well, they could probably win the ACC with their twos.


This is from June 29.  I have not revised my opinion other than to observe that "they" seem serious about starting.

Auburn outbreak.  Practice continues without them.
A small clarification that practice restarts without them. They lost a week of practice for either protest or social justice moments.

Yeah, tx.  Obviously we're seeing outbreaks with COVID at several programs.  I don't see how that doesn't continue, perhaps players get a bit more serious about isolating.

SEC coaches will figure out that they won’t have to answer questions if they explain away roster holes as players protesting rather than players quarantining. And I wouldn’t put it past programs like Alabama to passively allow the bug to make its way around the entire roster while hoping for a herd immunity.

That would be consistent with Alabama's schoolwide policy, unless something has changed in the past 2-3 days.

LINCOLN — Gov. Pete Ricketts waded into the increasingly political fray Monday over the Big Ten’s decision to postpone fall sports because of the pandemic.

At a press conference, the governor said the conference had “made a mistake,” both in the decision they made and how it was announced, and he called for conference officials to reconsider.

“I think the Big Ten has taken a bad approach with regard to this and I would certainly encourage the Big Ten to reexamine what they’re doing because they’re penalizing a lot of folks here,” Ricketts said.

The governor said conference officials should let member universities make decisions based on the situations in their particular location.

In Nebraska, he said it would be “all manageable” to hold football games this fall. The university had been working on plans, in cooperation with public health officials, before the Big Ten announcement.
