  1. There is a major difference between a risk that cannot be taken away from the game (injuries) vs. something that can be easily avoided (waiting until a vaccine is available before resuming play). While it would really suck, I would understand it if we didn't have a 2020-2021 season. In my opinion, anyone that advocates for playing this season - without widespread testing and vaccines - is essentially deciding that their entertainment is more important than player health. The argument that players have a choice is bulls#!t though. If there is a season, they effectively are given no choice. Just like workers are given no choice if their employer reopens. You could always just quit football and lose your scholarship if you don't want to possibly die to a preventable disease is not a good argument to make.
  2. I understand that it's not the most common outcome, but it can happen. When we're asking some young men to put themselves at risk of it for our entertainment it's an important thing to remember.
  3. It's really hard to recover from what could be permanent organ damage, regardless of your age or health.
  4. The idea that we shouldn’t take this seriously because it only affects old people is an attitude that is going to get even more than the already 80+ thousand people killed. Yes, it’s a very dangerous take.
  5. This is a VERY dangerous take. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/14/opinion/coronavirus-young-people.html
  6. Scheduling is going to be a nightmare, even if it's conference by conference. Let's say New Jersey and Maryland go online only. They won't be playing any football.
  7. https://sports.yahoo.com/how-could-california-state-university-systems-decision-to-go-online-only-in-fall-affect-college-football-032940912.html I see it’s already been posted, but this makes me think it’s not gonna happen. Probably for the best since it looks like infections rates aren’t slowing and the death toll as reported is lower than it most likely is.
  8. While it would be great to get the monkey off our back that is beating Wisconsin, I just couldn't accept if we beat them and still lost to Iowa.
  9. I thought it was a full year exclusive, so the Xbox and PC ports won't be around until March of 2021.
  10. I’m loving this offensive play calling today.
  11. Download the Fox Sports app. You can stream the game there, and it accepts your Hulu credentials.
  12. BTN on Hulu Live is experiencing an outage. Anyone else affected?
  13. Words have meaning. You can’t say one thing when you mean another. It’s not a difference of opinion, you’re just wrong. To hand wave that away by dismissing me as someone happy with moral victories or someone who doesn’t want this team to win shows you know nothing about me in addition to your fundamental misunderstanding of the English language. Just remember, I’m not the one that bolded a part about being COMPETITIVE and winning then ranted about not winning championships.
  14. Being competitive and winning something meaningful aren’t the same thing. No one here can seriously claim the 09 and 2010 team weren’t competitive. We came 1 extra second from winning a CCG in 2009 against a team that went on to the National Championship game. That’s the definition of competitive.
  15. What’s good for the goose... It would be great if we could review the PI call that gave them the ball at the 2, or the “horsecollar” tackle. How about the “false start” when a NW player was in the neutral zone? The Wildcats were the beneficiaries of some... interesting penalties. I guess this one is Karma?
  16. There is no controversy. Vedral is a great BACKUP, but we have our guy in Martinez.
  17. Imagine a VP Clinton as the tie breaking vote in the Senate, or more importantly a Senate that doesn’t have to worry about facing primary challenges.
  18. The dumpster fire that is our government can be directly linked back to the 12th and 17th Amendments.
  19. Top recruits still go to Michigan and they get embarrassed every year by OSU.
  20. To be honest it is still partially a Riley team and the rest are underclassmen we’re forced to play because of Roley. With a true Sophomore at QB and RB, a true freshman RB/WR, a redshirt freshman playing his first season for center... what do you expect when we play a team that is most likely heading to the playoffs. The sky isn’t falling, Frost is not Riley. There is still a lot of work to be done.
  21. Backup alert. OSU finally replaced their starters.
  22. Upper east stadium still has a good crowd. Source: me looking to my left and right
