Sponsor Note. If you're in the market for something green that will actually do something this fall, head down to Information Entropy for locally grown quality cannabis products. It is still a spaceship church.

It's at 1115 Broadway, across from the Kellogg Eye Center, so you can get some eyedrops at the same time. [Ed: please do not go to the hospital and ask for eyedrops.] First time customers can light up a free pre roll. 21+ please.

Corona chronicles. How it's going:

• Missouri-Vandy and Florida-LSU are postponed after outbreaks. They've bumped those games to the open week the SEC implemented before the championship game. Next week's Mizzou-Florida game is in serious doubt since you're supposed to isolate for ten days after a positive test.
• Ole Miss is having an outbreak but "could play" as of yesterday.
• Baylor-OSU is postponed after an outbreak at Baylor is blamed on a false negative. An infected person was tested, test threw up a false negative, and then everyone got on a plane. The supposed false negative is from a point-of-contact antigen test. Yikes.
• FAU-USM is also postponed.
• Nick Saban and Alabama AD Greg Byrne both tested positive. Saban joins Mike Norvell, Les Miles, and Kevin Sumlin as P5 head coaches who have tested positive.
• Nebraska announced a free watch party at their basketball arena, and then immediately canceled it. We do not have to revisit our "dumbest way to get coronavirus" gimmicky top five. "Watching Nebraska get hammered by 50 points" was an easy #1 otherwise.
• CUSA pushed back its title game to December 18th in an effort to get games in.

Saban getting infected is alarming for the Big Ten's prospects. Alabama is Alabama and has been administering daily tests. Saban himself has taken every reasonable precaution. Also alarming: Baylor is using those quick point of contact tests and one false negative blew it all up. Baylor's opsec was insufficient, perhaps inevitably:

Rhoades said his team was "really spaced out well" on the team flight and bus rides and was compliant in wearing masks and goggles in transit. He speculated that spread could have occurred during team dinner the night before the Oct. 3 game or in the visiting locker room at West Virginia's Milan Puskar Stadium, citing "very cramped quarters." Most visiting college football locker rooms are smaller than the home teams' locker rooms.

It is very easy to see this happening in the Big Ten, at which point that team will likely be cancelling three games.
