2020-21 College Football Thread

[Uncle Rico]

angry alumni? The real angry groups are people who have only set foot on a college campus to attend a football game.

That, too 😬

Because Notre Dame students have shown they're so disciplined with regard to Covid...

Of cour$e. $o obviou$.

Of cour$e. $o obviou$.

But its not the high paying fans that are going to be in the stands.  Students, faculty and staff.

Sounds like big ten make reverse decision related to Trump/feds donating testing supplies.

Genius political move.

"To say multiple sources denied the notion of the Big Ten playing immediately would not be strong enough. The sources heartily laughed at it. The notion of playing around Thanksgiving is in embryonic discussion, and there's a desire among coaches to start as early as possible. But "immediately" is in another universe, especially with multiple Big Ten teams not even having players on campus right now."

Reached via text this afternoon, #Huskers AD Bill Moos said of the Oct. 10 Big Ten start date rumor: "There's nothing to that."

Moos is part of a subcommittee that is looking into potential scheduling models as part of the league's return to competition group.

[GooooMarquette]

So not "immediately" or even October 10. Go figure....

Just a PR stunt because most teams are in battleground states - as evidenced by no call to the PAC-10 to start the season

exactly.  Biden ran a commercial recently which featured the Big House, Kinnick Stadium, Spartan Stadium, Camp Randall and Penn State and (rightfully) blamed Trump's pathetic response for no football, saying "Trump Put America on the Sidelines." That hurt.

One of the rare times both-siderism actually applies.

Sounds like Stick to Sports Clay Travis was the conduit to the meeting/phone call.  This stuff writes itself

[MU82]

TCU vs SMU, scheduled for September 10, canceled because a bunch of TCU folks tested positive.

Listen.   Hear.   Try to help.

[shoothoops]

Being outraged about something bad that doesn't affect you, is what is needed more often from more people.

I have always liked his announcing. Now I have a great respect for him as a human being. Major props to him for sharing his emotions like that.

It's hard to like and respect anyone from The OSU. Kirk is the exception.

First SMU vs TCU was postponed, now it's Baylor vs Louisiana Tech.

Tough blow for the Friday night game (SMU/TCU) on FS1. Arkansas State/Kansas State moves from FS1 @2:30 to FOX at 11am for Big Noon Kickoff.
