    I am going to grab my old Cyclone jersey and helmet...drive to Lincoln on some snowy Saturday afternoon...sneak into Memorial stadium...line up on the 50...throw myself a quick slant then sprint over the goal line and spike the ball yelling "In your face Father Time!"  I will then go get a Runza and push random old people down on the sidewalk...and maybe kick a puppy.

     

    Grab an old Husker jersey, wait for Cy to show up, intercept his slant pass, run 10 yards, get a cramp, hobble another 5 yards, look back and hope Cy is in as bad a shape as I am, and limp my way and fall across the goal line. Then I will spike the ball (if I get up),  and shout "Cyclones still can't beat us!".  I will go to Val's for pizza and beer, sharing with Cy.

    Chaos is going to be the modality of our lives from now on. Not just in sports but in everything else, too.

     

    It’s no surprise that players want to play. That’s what (most) players want to do without looking too much or deeply at other aspects and consequences of other options. Just comes natural to them to want to do their thing.

     

    It’s no surprise that coaches want to coach. That’s what they do, and that is the source of their very lucrative contracts.

     

    It’s no surprise that a university would want to play. You already know why. Lots of you-know-what is at stake and all that you-know-what finds its way to many places of need all around the campus and system.

     

    But... there’s the two big other elephants in the room.

     

    First, considerable legal liability for God-knows-what that could come. The League and NCAA could be in the crosshairs for any number of major lawsuits due to health risks and other concerns if and when any season is played.

     

    And the other elephant? Nobody still has a clue in what we are dealing with in terms of what this virus is, how it functions, how it mutates, how it is affecting different groups of people, and what it might do to us in the future or what its long-term affects really are. And any vaccine to come has already been declared by some experts as probably ineffective.

     

    To have a game plan you have to understand your opponent. To this point, nobody understands This Virus Opponent and so Chaos will rule our days. There is virtually no area of our lives that is not in chaos.
     

     

    Wait... Roundball is trying to sound logical?   You sick?  ;)

    them darn lawyers.  You know what they say about lawyers and lightbulbs.  

     

    Lightbulbs (and Debbie Boone) light up your life while lawyers don't?

    Can I edit the poll without losing everyone's vote? Because I really feel like I dropped the ball on the last option.

     

    It should be Shawn Watson! not Shawn Watson

     

    The exclamation point will really make it pop.

     

    I don't see much difference as the exclamation point seems redundant. ;)

    I'm not even religious but I'm praying. No college football will hurt, no football at all would be depressing as hell.

     

    If football is cancelled does this mean its fans need to go on suicide watch?  ;)   

     

    Hmm, maybe I should buy stock in companies that produce alcohol if football seasons are cancelled.

    The NSAA said they weren't changing the transfer rules so the kids would have to sit and you can't use sports as a reason to transfer.  It would be pretty obvious if a bunch of athletes were transferring to Elkhorn or even Lincoln if they were trying to stay in Class A.

     

    Elkhorn is class A?  Sure wasn't back in the day when I went to grade school there, but that was long before the hostile take over by Omaha.

    A banner is one thing, Fleck is going to get his team 'Undefeated National Champion' rings, with specific details like their number of negative tests and commemorating being on BTN to talk about the schedules.

     

    For anyone who missed it, Minny got Big Ten West co-champion rings (despite not going to the championship), and the rings include the Big Ten West trophy (which again, they did not win) and an ESPN Gameday plaque.

    I wonder how many players sold theirs.
