I think eventually all the power 5 conferences are going to cancel football. The SEC is going to end up cancelling, kicking and screaming.
I actually doubt we will have collegiate or HS athletics until the spring. The school system I coach in here in MD it’s still has not been determined, but it’s not looking likely that the MPSSAA is going to have sports this fall or the winter.
Incredibly poor Covid response? No, this is what mass panic and over-reacting does. Yes, it’s bad that we’ve had 130,000 deaths, NO, it’s not worth completely altering our society and killing our economy. Christ, there are 250,000 deaths per year by medical malpractice. Do we stop going to the doctor? It’s absolute stupidity.
March 11th was the travel ban. Italy was just starting their increase and they were the first.
The revisionist history is hilarious.
As of right now:
Italy, Spain, France and the UK make up 237MM people and have accounted for 138K deaths. The US makes up 330MM people and have accounted for 133K deaths. I wonder though, how many of those deaths in the US are actually falsely attributed to Covid?
They are now contemplating moving college football to the spring which while better than nothing will also have a lot of star players that are sure NFL draft picks skipping the entire season.
Well now the the PAC 12 and Big 10 have bowed out. Are you antimask knuckleheads proud of yourselves? Are the “let’s open right now!” crowd proud of yourselves? If you’d just done what was recommended and not cried about “ muh freeberty!” we just might be looking at the start of the college football season. As of now there will be no three months (or longer depending on the post season) of being able to hate on Ohio State. No slamming a couple cups of coffee to stay up and watch the 11:00 PM Oregon kickoff.
And every year for about the last ten years I’ve had a tradition on the Thursday evening game played before the big official start on the following Saturday. I’d make myself an obscenely large pile of hot wings, and have a large amount of beer on hand. (Homebrew if I had some made up, store bought if I didn’t). Then I’d drunk dial friends and family to cheer about the start of college football season. And now that ain’t happening. Proud of yourselves?
