Invite us all over and we'll watch DVDs of the 1990s

I've been watching old Husker games on youtube starting with the 1990 season. I just finished the 1994 KSU game. (I love watching whiny Chad May get beat.)

I got a feeling a lot of us will be doing this.

Plea from coach Harbaugh. “We respect the challenge that the virus has presented, but we will not cower from it”

Sen. Ben Sasse sent a letter to the Big pleading not  cancel the season... that should work

Yeah, it'd be real nice if we could stop pretending people who think maybe not having organized sports this fall would be a good idea are doing so because they're weak or scared or whatever. This same kind of crap got said about people who social distanced and wore masks early on.

 

We are where we are because not enough people followed the guidelines.

 

(not directed at you nic, that last paragraph from Harbaugh just kind of ticked me off.)

I wonder if the vote last night actually did happen, it leaked before it was announced, and now that everyone is blasting the conference, they're going to "really vote this time" tonight.

Reads to me like standard CYA mode stuff after a story you wanted kept under wraps leaked. Deny, deny, deny until you announce it yourself.

 

I could be wrong and the story could be inaccurate but I'd bet against it.

DANG.

Back to that idea where we play regional FCS schools/Iowa? Question is, are there any left that haven't already cancelled their seasons?

No worries. Just pointing out there is a willingness to play from coaches and players.

It also sounds like the program is doing everything they can to adhere to guidelines, much like wearing masks when required. I think he means to say they we have done what was asked of us and are succeeding. That’s a little different than being obstinate. 

I appreciate the civility on this board BTW. The Michigan board has devolved into chaos and everyone blaming everyone. Completely out of control over there right now. 
 

I also heard no vote was taken after all, but that might be wishful thinking. We need a statement from the Big Ten soon.

I guess I don’t understand..... We all knew this day was coming sooner rather than later.

 

Since early July I've been saying I believed there was maybe only a 5%-10% chance of the season happening. So I agree that in that respect, I didn't expect to play a single game.

 

But when they released the schedules I really didn't expect that to be some kind of smoke & mirrors thing. And maybe it wasn't, and maybe something else came up in the past few days that we don't (and maybe won't ever) know about.

 

But point is, when they released the schedule I really thought we'd play at least a game or two.
