    Here is what is real.....
    In many cases myocarditis appears to be a result of incubating people whose body does not require intubating. This process.. if the body is unwilling...can cause a host of damage to other bodily organs and functions. I posted on this at greater length a while back in west mall- coronavirus.

    This is going to get real West Mall, but it sounds like a bunch of newly invented BS to turn America into American’t.

    No team from the Big 10 is playing this year. The conference will seek and be granted a preliminary injunction or TRO.

    Nebraska has a football, football players, a stadium and a bus.
    They can play if they want. Merica.

    What is wrong with you people?
    Why so quiet??
    This could be our finest hour.
    I don't care if the B1G or Pac play ball.
    Would love to see the Big12, SEC, and ACC roll w it and leave those fools at home...

    Ask Nebraska what they bring - NOTHING!

    if our two Christian churches let the cult in, I may have to rethink what I do when the Baptist church passes the plate on Sunday morning. Again they bring nothing worth inclusion, but then again Bowelsby is that ******* dumb.

    For long term inclusion into the B12 I don't want them either. But for this year only, I'm at the point of being OK to any school bold enough to want to play football.

    No to all the above. Swofford is only going to play to keep Clemson & FSU from bolting (and maybe ND). It won't surprise me at all if Swofford plays 3-5 games, then finds a reason to shutdown and play the rest in the spring. The Big XII has lost its virginity to Swofford before.

    Look, the main driver of the season is going to be what the SEC does. If they play a full season, with some level of fans in the stands, not really sure how much it matters what any other league does or doesn't do. They'll be on TV for every game, loving it all, and if there's no one else playing by the end of the season, then the SEC Championship game is the National Championship game too.

    I really can't think of a scenario that SEC fans would like more than to have every other league shut down, and the SEC still running. They think they're the only league that matters anyway, and if everyone else cancels, they'll be the only league at all. It'll be SEC x 4, not 3!

    I think Alabama or Clemson just won another National Championship. Ohio State would probably have been No. 1 to start the season. They're beyond loaded.

    The relative silence on here since last evening is quite curious to me given the news and circumstances

    I'd schedule the Huskers in the LSU slot. That'd be cool.

    Due to contract law this won't happen. Why is this difficult to understand?

    Yesterday Texas had almost 10,000 new cases (nationally spiked to over 54k cases), there has always been a Monday spike on the graph but this spike was particularly large and it is the sixth highest number of cases in Texas since this all began. That's before we reopen the schools and colleges and have people interacting in close quarters indoors on a much larger scale than is happening now.

    I keep seeing coaches saying that it is safer for them to have the athletes in their programs and I absolutely think that is true but there is a difference between having them on campus and having them playing the games. What happens when they start going to class with 49,000 other students because they aren't in a bubble like the professionals will be, and then what happens when they travel en-masse to a road game and interact with hundreds of other players and coaches and officials during a game, all of whom have been interacting with people on their end. All assuming we don't have fans in the stands because don't get me started on 50,000 football fans interacting with each other and what that will do to spread this thing. However this plays out the concentric circles of exposure just get bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.

    I want this thing to go away, I want normal life back, but this just seems to me to be a recipe for making things so much worse. In the end I cannot escape the feeling that while I want to see college football, and I get that life has to go on, I just don't see how we possibly justify multiple super spreader events across a good bit of our country every single Saturday for the next several months when the infection rates are where they are at?

    That sounds good....but I think the Big12 has already committed to the 9+1, with UT selecting UTEP as the +1 (assuming those games are still a go). This could all change, of course, and who knows what all is on the table now - though I believe IDE is right about the legal obstacles.

    FW,

    Yes there are and have been spikes, but the ratios remain consistent. Remember, we have only tested only 12.5% of Texas, with 3.5 million of the 4 million in the last 8 weeks.

    People will NOT go to unqualified quack shacks for testing.
