knapplc Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 What a crazy, crazy week. Month, really, starting in July: 7/9 - Big Ten announces 2020 season will be conference-only From then on, we were wondering if there'd even be a season. Then: 8/5 - Big Ten announces a schedule. Hooray - it looks like they'll play! 8/8 - Rumors of a secret meeting canceling the season 8/10 - Frost's public presser in which he passionately pleads to let them play 8/11 - Big Ten postpones all Fall sports 8/11 - later, Nebraska's Admin & Frost announce all options are on the table and they are ready to play 8/12 - Big Ten Commissioner announces there is no option for teams to play So... is that it? Warren says nobody can play this Fall - but this was just a week after announcing a schedule implying they will play. Do we have our final answer? Or will something come from the joint statement declaring a desire to play from Nebraska? 2 Quote Link to comment
talaricohusker Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I couldn’t decide between three or four but I think once the Big 12, ACC,SEC start playing and have no positive cases we change our mind and start in October 1 Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Ask the lawyers! Afterall they generally have the final say (or seem to think so)! I dont think we have heard anything close to the final jeopardy answer (question more aptly). 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Or will something come from the joint statement declaring a desire to play from Nebraska? I think we calm down and just do what we're told. It was passion speech by Frost and the administration and cooler heads will prevail. As far as Warren, I have no idea. It seems that there was some speculation about that ex Florida State player that died last week of a heart attack after having Covid at sometime was what started him thinking. I don't know if that's a cover story or not. Seems kind of early to assume that the dealth was due to lingering complications from Covid as it sounds alot like the heartbreak gene- but I don't know that either and the autopsy will be awhile. 1 Quote Link to comment

They are allowing schools to still practice so they could realistically announce mid September "conditions changed" and they are starting October. 1 Quote Link to comment
Nebfanatic Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Still don't think anyone plays this fall but I don't think the drama is over. B1G won't change their minds though. 2 Quote Link to comment

This would seem to be predicated on our society rapidly improving our response to containing and mitigating the virus. Short of another lockdown that's a bad bet. Even that's a band-aid if nothing else changes. Quote Link to comment

If they get an accurate test that can generate results in hours instead of days then there is conceivably an ability to guarantee no player plays in a game who is positive and also ensure that players don't bring the virus back to campus after traveling. 1 Quote Link to comment

I said a long time ago that barring NCAA action, I expect the SEC schools to play football come hell or high water, whether they should or not, and I haven't seen anything to make me change my mind. That's just the way things are in those states. Quote Link to comment

Decoy73 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I chose Watson because it’s freaking hilarious that that was an option. Otherwise I think the chaos continues until all P5 shut it down. By then, November 3 will be quickly approaching and thus a different type of chaos. What a freaking year. 3 Quote Link to comment
WyoHusker56 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Ryan Day's comments today seem to indicate that the chaos is only beginning. Quote Link to comment

That's the one Warren couldn't allow to break rank. Because if they do, the B1G will have no control. When Warren announced yesterday, he should have been 100% OSU was backing his decision. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 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. 3 Quote Link to comment
