Ouch. That was painful, might be a season ender there

Where is Mills?

Am I the only one who thinks that our front 7 isn't terrible today, yet? The DBs are nonexistent, however. The offense needs to quit the east west garbage....... and Luke fumbled......

Isn't there a "community positive rate" that we have to worry about? If so, is the "community" the overall athletic department or the municipality in which the university is located in? I hope that as a team they have herd immunity, it's probably the best way to fend off this virus.

No, I'm concerned that in the US we don't have the "world's leading immunologist" to rely on.

I've heard and watched a number of interviews with medical professionals, some who want to effectively treat this virus and say that masks aren't at all effective, some with an axe to grind are in favor of mask mandates, lockdowns, etc. A new study by the CDC https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/pdfs/mm6936a5-H.pdf says that over 70% of Covid patients regularly or always wear masks. We all have to listen to and follow the science.

That's pretty vague, do you have an actual name of this person?

Who are you referring to?

Omaha and Lincoln have been wearing masks for awhile now, and rates are still increasing. Apparently masks aren't the panacea they're made out to be.

Some of the local sports media is abhorrent

Mills? or maybe the guy who tore up both of his knees?

I wouldn't say "No way" but I'm not optimistic about it happening. Your analogy of Junior and the math test is spot on, imo.

I understand that NW is highly regarded as an institution of higher learning. But journalism is mostly dead, and the press in the US is a disgrace.

The writer sounds mentally disturbed. Deranged.

If what was reported was accurate: no built in bye week, 21 day waiting period if a positive test happens, less than 5% of the team has to have tested negative, cities in which games or universities are located have to have positivity rates of less that 7%. It will be extremely difficult to put a season together under those guidelines.

I'll be surprised if this season happens at all. They set it up to fail. But they can go back to the athletes, coaches, fans, donors, etc and say "We did the right thing. We revised the cancelation. We really, really tried. "

I'm sure they'll make it as tough as they possibly can. Not only have they done that since day 1, we pushed the envelope on this "restart." Plus, the Carter hot mic snafu likely put an additional burr in their saddle.

It seems to me like the powers that be don't want this season to happen and that they are looking for any excuse to cancel as much of it as possible. The way this is set up doesn't take player safety into consideration whatsoever. It's a total weasel move.
