Yeah, I 'member, it was like the first or second week of May. I said 0% chance the PAC would play and under 10% the B1G would play. I think I said sub 50% on SEC, but that if anyone played it would be them. This whole slow rolling the news shit is because the SEC still wants to play.

Funny thing is they aren't following any science. Anyone know if Barta backed the pussies? He probably did. This is so stupidly tragic my mind is numb. And please don't give me "what about the kids safety...". If that's the case you cannot argue that we should outlaw tackling as well.

You guys doing fall baseball up there? Our league starts the day after Labor Day and the coach from last year said if Clemson and the SEC don't play they are going to add Saturday games to try to mitigate the skill diminution from the spring ball shutdown. Maybe you can ump some games or something.

I'm really proud of the Big Ten. They put the health of the unpaid players ahead of the almighty dollar.
Not so proud of Iowa....apparently they were one of two schools out of 14 that voted to have a season. Nebraska was the other.
I predicted that there would be a season, but I really thought it would only be six games (division foes only). How wrong I was.

I agree. I don't see all that much changing in our pandemic world until there is a vaccine and it will be at least after the first of the year until we have one, IMO. Could be later. And even then you need to distribute it, decide who gets it first, etc. etc.

Iowa plays summer baseball still. I could get some fall legion games in SD, but those towns are right on the edge distance-wise of making it pay. There are some fall games in Minnesota that are closer, but they’ve already canceled football and I’d imagine they’ll do the same with baseball

Hey, Mark, sorry to break it to you, pal, but we’ve all been lab rats in this cluster-f: stay home, lock your older loved ones in their retirement center or nursing home rooms, stick China Virus patients in with them, don’t wear a mask, do wear a mask, socially distance, cough or sneeze into your elbow or arm pit (I still haven’t mastered that one), avoid each other, obsessively wash your hands, crash the economy with lockdowns, lost jobs and slowdowns. FFFFF.....!!!!
Now, the test: who do you trust? What directives/orders are you prepared to follow? How compliant are you?
But we all keep running in the little metal wheel, Mark. Suck it up buttercup.

It's now being reported that no vote has been taken, so ISM may be right.
Either way, based upon the recent reports, it doesn't look good (at least for the fall). Holding onto a glimmer of hope for an abbreviated spring season.

Yeah that's just the big wigs having stuck their fingers in the air and gauging which way the wind is blowing on social media. They are well aware of how it all looks but at the end of the day I don't think they'll end up playing. I figured they'd have waited longer then a week after having put the schedule out there but now that the toothpaste is out of the tube it is what it is...

No shit...the only thing that could make this look worse in terms of the way it has been handled would be for an announcement to be made after the fact indicating that it was unofficial and no vote had been made...oh wait. So now we get a cancellation, a retraction, and a soon to come official announcement that there won't be a season. I have no problem with the decision to cancel the season, but rather the train wreck in which it was delivered.
