2007 called, they want their joke back
August 11th, 2020 at 5:58 PM ^
we had football in 2007!
August 11th, 2020 at 3:31 PM ^
Tough day, no B1G football in the fall and Halo infinite was just delayed today as well. I'm not gonna know what to do with myself.
August 11th, 2020 at 3:34 PM ^
I'll probably just take the year off watching any football. Not interested in watching the Lions lose and not interested in NFL football as much as I was in the past.
August 11th, 2020 at 3:34 PM ^
It took Nebraska less than fifteen minutes after the announcement to basically say “we still want to play” *cough* hey Big 12.
August 11th, 2020 at 3:51 PM ^
Nebraska seriously needs to take a hike
They've added nothing in football, basketball, or education. They're a worse fit for the conference than Rutgers and Rutgers is A TERRIBLE fit fit for the conference
August 11th, 2020 at 3:53 PM ^
They added Testicles. Where as Michigan is losing their's .

Welcome to Shitty Airlines. We know you had sensible choices to make addressing the pandemic to reach your college football destination and it looks like you made the wrong ones.

Sissy Boy decision. The Commish's kid plays for Mississippi State.

#CoronaBros win.

Posted this in the comments of the main board post, but... are college sports done until there's a vaccine? I guess I don't see what is going to change between now and whenever that is that would cause athletic departments, university presidents, etc. to feel comfortable with games being played.
August 11th, 2020 at 3:52 PM ^
Annnd it’s official. PAC 12 also “postponing”.
August 11th, 2020 at 3:53 PM ^
10 years ago I would have been devastated by this, now I'm like eh whatever. Sucks for the players and coaches.
August 11th, 2020 at 3:57 PM ^
Well....ten years ago we were heading into year three of RichRod which ended up fielding (by statistics) the worst defense in school history. I don’t have you there.
But if this were 15, 20, etc. years ago...yes. I’d probably be inconsolable.
August 11th, 2020 at 3:59 PM ^
Good point, I should have said 15 years ago. My interest has fallen every year.
August 11th, 2020 at 3:53 PM ^
PAC 12 voted no football too. No basketball either....
August 11th, 2020 at 3:59 PM ^
I’m not seeing how spring football gets played either. Too many logistical and systemic issues are in the way, and short of a vaccine, I see very little reason to think it’ll be much safer by then. It’s just another thing to distract us and attempt to give us hope while we slowly accept and adjust to the reality of our situation. Kind of like how we all thought they were just delaying the college basketball tourney for two weeks to make sure it’d be safe.
August 11th, 2020 at 4:06 PM ^
So Iowa and Nebraska voted to play, and Big 12 plans to play. I see a plausible scenario where Nebraska and Iowa jump to the Big 12 for "just this year". Iowa wins the Big 12 and Nebraska comes in 2nd or 3rd. And then they stay permanently.
Which means the result of the decade of realignment is the Big Ten loses Iowa and gains Maryland and Rutgers. Tragic.
August 11th, 2020 at 4:08 PM ^
So what do you guys think the chances are that the SEC and/or ACC actually play this fall?
August 11th, 2020 at 5:21 PM ^
I live in the south and I can guarantee the SEC will play no matter what. The ACC seems to be falling in line with the SEC, much like the PAC was with the BIG. Of course thats what I have heard coming from the schools in the ACC that they have put on the news down here, so take it for what its worth.
I know Clemson would go the route of Nebraska and look elsewhere to play if the ACC cancelled.
August 11th, 2020 at 4:25 PM ^
On August 5 the B1G releases their schedule to much fanfare. Six days later the season is canceled. Well done.
I hope this leads to demise of the Big 10.
August 12th, 2020 at 1:31 PM ^

August 11th, 2020 at 4:47 PM ^
What a total f'ing joke
August 11th, 2020 at 5:09 PM ^
Oh well.....2020 is a shitshow anyways.
August 11th, 2020 at 5:09 PM ^
Side note, OSU just lost their third best commit right after they announced the postponement.
August 11th, 2020 at 5:26 PM ^
To be fair he announced four hours ago unless they lost two today.
August 11th, 2020 at 5:29 PM ^
With apologies to FauxMo, who had a derivative of this thought back in the spring:
Obviously, the only way to achieve a utopia in life is to completely eliminate death. However, we must live joylessly until such time.
But won't it be great when that time comes, when we completely eliminate death? We'll be able to live forever .... joylessly.
August 12th, 2020 at 8:35 AM ^
Some of us have Joy!
I Corinthians 15:53-55:
For this perishable body must put on imperishability, and this mortal body must put on immortality. But once this perishable body has put on imperishability, and this mortal body has put on immortality, then what is written will be fulfilled:
Death is swallowed up in victory.
Death, where is your sting?
Grave, where is your victory?
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
August 11th, 2020 at 6:08 PM ^
OK now, the rest of P5 needs to follow suit or this thing is going to get royally fucked up as opposed to just the old regular fucked up.
August 11th, 2020 at 6:24 PM ^
It’s the right decision because of the unknowns. We don’t know the long term effects or even have protocols to clear kids to play after they’ve had it.
August 11th, 2020 at 8:30 PM ^
If you want to have some fun go over to Eleven Warriors to see how upset the OSU fans are. These people have truly lost touch with reality. Some are saying OSU is “cursed” for football. Truly hilarious.
