What are the odds that Iowa takes this opportunity to claim another national title?
Need to just beat them first, then we can talk smack

You would think right now that people would do what is right but money is king. Right now in Grand Island there is a large infection rate because of the meat packing plant. 3500 mostly migrant workers forced to work in close proximity. The disease is spreading quickly there, but you wouldn't know because there has been very little testing. Hundreds have called out sick with no pay. However the Grand Island ICU is currently FULL. And they are planning on shipping patients out to Kearney Lincoln, and Omaha.
But the governor will not allow the Health department to close the meat plant temporarily or even reduce staff to increase distance between workers because the beef feeders will lose money.

With a common cold I think you've got 6-8 weeks built in immunity once its over, after that you can get nailed again. Usually the more acute the infection the longer the immunity lasts.
I had a nuisance recurring infection that lasted for years which would produce itchy little bumps on my hands and elbows. Then my infant son caught hand foot mouth disease. I will be damned if I didn't catch it! I had bumps all over my hands. Doctor said no, if you do have it you'll be the first adult I have seen with it. But I did have it. Got fairly sick. The acute infection actually forced my body to make antibodies that cleared out the other infection too! Never had it since. Life is weird.

I just read today that NU sits financially among the best of the Power 5 schools.
Another article stated that one Texas A&M official thought it would be possible to start in Oct and still play a full schedule.

I read this week that the idea of starting in Oct. is being floated.
I think for covid safety they should mandate elimination of full media timeouts, and cut review time to a maximum of 30 seconds in order to reduce public exposure and get everyone home quicker

We're living history here. I tell my kids almost daily that these are the days they will never forget for the rest of their lives. It's telling when my 81 year old father-in-law calls asking what I think is about to happen. 99+ percent of the general population hasn't lived this before. I have no idea whether the season will be played this year or not. I voted no games played. However, I don't think this is the most important question. The most important question is what will be the new normal once this passes? We have no idea what the paradigm shift will be if any. Maybe, sports just won't be that important to people. Economists are already talking about 30-50 million people being unemployed before we get through this. I've read about how much cleaner the air is around cities around the World because people are staying home and are not driving. Maybe, people just won't be that interested in going to games in the future? Maybe, they simply won't have the money? With the Spanish Flu, it came in waves. It's already being speculated we'll see this again potentially this fall.
It is quite possible I'm reading too much into this historic event. It is also quite possible that I'm just pi$$ed about mankind right now because it is more than a little disturbing living out here near the Colorado border watching people who are under a state stay at home order flock our lakes and our stores potentially dragging the virus here with them. One local grocery store had to close because the Denver residents came and wiped the store out of inventory. I just think we are way too early into this to even begin to assume there will be a football season in 2020.
If you are close to CO you are on the edge of the ant hill. The swarm comes for what it needs. LOTS OF PEOPLE THERE.
The new normal will be what the public wants. Have to stand up for your freedoms even if it is uncomfortable. In Communist China right now, if you dont have a green bar code on your phone you don't get in to the store. Is that what we want here? 100% government control for "safety"?

As far as I am concerned there hasn't been a football season since 2010, and more realistically since about 1999.

Of course. No serious person would believe he'd see the field at Ohio State. To be fair, neither would McCaffrey.
But you're right, they wouldn't want Martinez/ couldn't do anything with him.

Has anyone done any research on types of turf/ crown angles that would be the most conducive to bubble screens?

I had thought there was a discussion on adopting something like soccer/futbol yellow/red card discipline. First targeting penalty would be the yardage penalty, second would be yardage plus ejection. There needs to be increased scrutiny IMO on the offensive side of the ball for targeting if these are the rules we have to live with. We have all seen several defensive players who were doing the right thing in slowing up, ejected, because the offensive player lowered his head at the last second and contact seemed initiated by the offensive player.
The potential threats from lawsuits due to CTE propel the NCAA to protect its cash cow. Equity in sport between teams or to a player are secondary to the NCAA. Money and perception are the top concerns. SO the targeting rules (the attempt to radically change coaching culture) will remain.
As long as the TV ratings are high enough to sell luctrative ads, these rules are here to stay. You get to vote with your remote.

I get it that the online has not been up to par, but the discussion was on AM’s INT’s. I don’t really care how awful your line is or how much separation the receivers do not get. Don’t throw the ball into traffic.
Aside from tipped passes, blind side hits, and miscommunication on routes, a QB’s turnovers are all his fault. No one else’s no matter how bad the rest of the team is. Full stop. He controls what he does with the ball. Having pressure certainly doesn’t help AM, but he also shouldn’t just chuck the ball cause someone is close to his feet.
it would be like blaming a running backs fumbling problems on a bad o line.
does anyone doubt that if 2AM was at Ohio St he would be destroying our Az$ right now with obscene numbers? Because he would and they would take him in a heartbeat. I don't know whats up but our team has had the life sucked out of it for what seems like ever.

Ah yes, let's make Warner responsible for teaching the point guard of an offense that he doesn't know. I get that he has an incredible amount of QB knowledge, but that seems like a bad idea. The jury is still out on Verduzco, but one bad QB year with a lot of mitigating circumstances doesn't completely invalidate his career to this point. And great QBs aren't necessarily great coaches, and at the very least not every great QB is a good fit for every type of offense.
2AM really looked well prepared this year right? Give me a lawn chair and a case of beer and me and 2AM could have duplicated that $#it. Actually looked better last year.

I disagree, its crappy anytime. When you're 9-3 people are more likely to brush it off and say look at this idiot. But when you're 5-7 and trying to turn the program around, things like this can gain traction when they shouldn't and cause a divide. Now we all know it probably won't, but it's pretty classless to trash your kids coaches unless they are somehow putting your kid in harms way, or have actually wronged him in someway other than he isn't getting enough PT or they aren't throwing him the ball enough. Kurt Warner is a HOF QB and it comes across fairly immature to speak down about the staff publicly
You make a good point but where I am at is I would tell Verduzco to walk today if Kurt Warner came to my door with Mike Martz on his cell and asked for the gig.

Am I the only one who reads that and things it's pretty crappy on Warner to publicly complain about the coaching staff of his sons team. I've been around parents who b*tch and moan about coaches and most of the time it's cancerous and those people are almost unbearable to be around. And it's almost always because their son (in this case a walk-on) isn't the star they think he is
It's crappy on Warner if the staff is 9-3 but not if they are 5-7. After 2 yr. you've got to prove that you deserve the right to be left alone.

Kind of funny though we have to reach back 40 years to fill a team, Bama and Clemson could do it with roster guys sprinkled with some big names in the last three years.
I would probably fill four or five Husker teams before I considered Crouch. I know he is a Darling, but I don't like the fact that they finished going 0-2. His best play against OU was a catch.
Since it all is a fantasy, QB's I would take over Crouch for sure:
Frazier
Gill
Frost
Tagge
Berringer
Quarterbacks I would seriously consider before Crouch:
Gerry Gdowski
Vince Ferragamo
Zac Taylor
Steve Taylor
Joe Gantz
There is something lame about this whole virtual fantasy thing.
